RHOP Recap: Trouble In Paradise

August 25, 2019 by tamaratattles 20 Comments

RHOP RecapTonight’s RHOP recap will focus a lot on Katie. It seems that people are starting to realize she is going through a lot, and are going to be kinder toward her. That’s a novel concept for a housewives show. I have a feeling things get worse for Katie before the season ends though since she wasn’t invited to the reunion. Or maybe she really did bail on the Caymans trip and go home. That would have pissed off production.

I don’t recall any other friend being totally excluded from the reunion. Since filming ended, Katie has broken up with the into she filmed with this season and gotten engaged to another idiot. It seems she plans to live in LA. That will not help her get to see her kids. Though I’m not convinced she is mentally well enough to have unsupervised visitation.

We pick up at the end of the fight between Ashley and Katie. I think it is terrible how Ashley goes so hard on the one woman she seems to understand isn’t mentally stable. The next morning, Ashley talks to her mom and realizes that she reacted badly with Katie.

The green eyed bandits meet for breakfast. They briefly talk about Katie and all agree to be kinder to her from here on out based on her situation. Then, Gizelle starts trashing Karen over her “perfume line.” Gizelle says that she doesn’t believe that Karen owns the company and that she is just a spokesperson. That’s all well and good, but Karen doesn’t need to lie to make things seem like more than they are. I agree with Gizelle. Gizelle says that they will all support Karen regardless. Now that, I don’t believe.

RHOP RecapWigs On Tight!

The ladies take a breezy boat ride out to pet some stingrays. Gizelle compliments Karen on her wig and how it is staying on. I must admit  Karen’t wigs have been a lot better this season.

There is no way in hell I would get in the water to pet stingrays. As Ashley pointed out, Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray. Katie is the only one to opt out of the stupidity. She says her stomach bothering her. Ashley goes up to check on her. She gives Katie a very sincere apology and Katie kindly accepts the olive branch.

RHOP Recap

More Unexpected Apologies

Everyone lived through the stingrays and they are off for a sail. Karen pretends to work on her “perfume line” over the phone. They stop at a gorgeous beach for lunch. I want literally everything they are ordering. Candiace is so desperate for some camera time that she gives a lame apology to Ashley. It went along the lines of sorry if I unintentionally offended you. Then she demands an apology from Ashley for “intentionally” trying to harm her. All she said was Candiace lives off of her mother. These are facts. Ashley apologizes for the shady comment. That’s not good enough for Candiace.

RHOP RecapSome of the ladies go out on jet skis. Karen rides on the back of an instructor. I don’t blame her. She did not enjoy herself. After surviving yet another scary water experience, she goes to talk to Katie. She is very kind to Katie.

Katie stops by the suite and tells Robyn and Ashley that she is not up to going out with the girls that night. For some reason production decided Katie should be the one who brings up Gizelle’s behavior at Robyn’s open house. Ashley encourages Robyn to address her feelings with Gizelle. Is this the finale? They sure are wrapping up a lot of feuds this week.

Baby Maybe?

Robyn talks to Katie about how she is feeling and based on her symtoms, she wonders if she is pregnant. Oh wow. For some reason I thought the miscarriage happened before filming began. But maybe not. She says she has had unprotected sex a lot. Her period is due today.

It’s Dinner Time, AKA Fight Time

In the van ride over it was evident that Candiace was trying to gets something going with Ashley again. Girl, she just apologized to you! You are the one that gave a conditional apology. Sit down. This dinner is all about Robyn and Gizelle.

Robyn tells Gizelle that her behavior was very rude and inconsiderate at her open house. Gizelle gives a heartfelt apology. She asks Robyn for forgiveness. This is the way adult friends has out their differences. In Gizelle’s talking head, she points out that Robyn never really takes offense to anything. She realizes she really screwed up.

The topic moves on to Robyn and Juan possibly getting married. Ashley says Juan told Michael he wants to put a ring on it. Juan wants to have a baby girl. Robyn says her baby maker is is closed.

Ashley has a strange idea that Candiace’s name should be on her husband’s cookbook. That’s just ridiculous. Ah, it seems that production does want another confrontation between Candiace and Ashley. Gizelle suggests the two of them go work things out privately. Maybe at breakfast the next morning.

RHOP RecapThe girls all salsa together. All in all that was a great dinner. That hardly ever happens. Before going to their room, Karen and Candiace go to check on Katie. she is fully dressed in a new outfit with a scarf and a jacket. She’s totally going to make a break for it. Karen also mentioned the jacket and scarf.

The next morning Ashley and Candiace go to yoga and for the second or third time on this trip call a truce. Candiace is not a yoga person. Candiace isn’t being authentic on the beach. She agrees to the truce on the beach. But in her talking heads she is still trashing Ashley.

The two run into Gizelle on the way back into the hotel. She informs them that Katie has taken all her toys and gone home.

Next week’s RHOP recap may not be as drama-free as this one. Some finds Katie. But where? Ashley and Karen get into a huge screaming match. #Namaste Apparently, Karen says that she thinks Micheal is guilty even though the prosecutors declined to prosecute due to lack of evidence.

      I can’t either. She sucks the joy out of this show for me. I was watching, enjoying myself, and then all of a sudden SHE came on the screen and sucked the good mojo right out of it for me. After that I fast forwarded her scenes. She really is a horrible human being. I’m curious… Does ANYONE like her?

        I cannot stand her, can’t stand to watch her, and I like RHOP other than her. She acts beyond entitled and there’s just nothing impressive about her. I’m sick of her nonstop Ashley bashing. It’s not that I think Ashley is without fault ever, it’s just it’s such a broken record. She hasn’t let up, but thinks she deserves an apology because Ashley stated a fact????? Candiace had a butter knife in her face. I can’t stand for anyone to get in my face…period, much less waving a knife.

        Yes, Candiance sucks the joy out of the show for me too. It’s like she’s always waiting for her chance to show how special she is and there’s nothing impressive about her like @MelG said. Her apology to Ashley was half assed and so was her expectation for an apology. Actually her apology was seriously immature. No one can make you respond in a certain way – as Ashley pointed out.

        Ashely’s statement about Candiance struck a nerve bc it was true and bc Candiance knows there’s nothing impressive about herself. Not like this is a bad thing but she was the hostess at Chris’ restaurant. If you are all of that, why were you a hostess? If your mother is rich rich, why were you a hostess? You are a women in your 30’s with a degree. Why were you a hostess? Occupations don’t matter to me – character does – but Candiance placed herself on a pedestal as the queen of specialness.

      Candiace is the definition of stank face. She has to be the center of attention at all times, and every time she is on screen she is rolling her eyes or pursing her lips. It reads stuck up and phony to me. No, I don’t like her, but hope she will change, so I can like her.

    Stingray City looks scary but I’ve been there and it was amazing. They didn’t let us actually “hold” the stingrays, but we got to feed them and pet them.

    Nice to see some at least semi-sincere apologies from the ladies tonight. Looking forward to a drama-free rest of the season! haha

    This show made me want to go to an island. I haven’t had the big in a while, but when Alley walked out the door and said “We’re in Paradise”, for a second I was there, and now I’m gonna needed to make it happen. I’m long overdue.

    I think that they should have cut Katie out of this. She’s clearly not well. Of course I have my guesses (especially how she was dressed when they came back, and now gone(?)), but regardless, it was very hard to watch someone who, it’s obvious, needs help. She doesn’t need to be seen on TV like that. Especially having children and going through what she is. Like I said… Hard to watch.

      I apologize for the typos. I’m having a hard time posting on this site right now. It’s very buggy. If I try to edit one thing, all of the words jump around and get jumbled. Sorry!

    I am so tired of how immature Candi is, I seriously want her off the show. I will say one positive and that her braids looked good. She should wear her hair braided more often. At one point Katie looked drugged up and I felt bad for her. I’m glad that she finally took that wig off, she doesn’t need it (she has a beautiful face).I love Monique and Chris as a couple.

    Oh Potomac..
    I’m going on record by stating that Robyn and Juan’s engagement/ moving towards marriage will become a storyline real soon. She doesn’t have a real storyline and we all know what people will do to stay on a show.
    My new game is how many times Robyn says “in a good place”

    Katie was uninvited to the reunion because she posted stuff about the Darby’s case online, she brought up a great point that they were super mad at her but happy to continue film and work with a production company that accused Michael of all sorts. Monique and Robyn even agreed that due to the problems with Ashley and Michael filming has been awkward as the production people haven’t changed and even though the case was thrown out everyone still believes the cameraman.

      Wow, thanks for this info Chelle. This helps to clarify some of the unexplained awkwardness of the last few episodes. I got the impression that last week, production may have edited out some of the conversation that lead to Ashley telling Katie that she isn’t mentally strong enough for the group.

    My hear open to Katie. She looks so broken and sad. She had the look of someone floating in a sea of despair. Ashley was wrong how she came for Katie from a dark place. Just no compassion, yet she want compassion and understanding for the Michael tricky fingers accusation. Thank God for Karen stepping in on the that mean comment Ashley made about being strong. Like Katie all of them have talked about Michael alleged crime, so why single out Katie?

    Candiace’s magenta eye shadow she is wearing in her talking head makes her look like a flamboyant raccoon. Just not a good look, period.

      Yes, you are right about that makeup! LOL. HWs almost always overdress, over-try. Monique’s beauty queen covered in rocks was not a great look either.

      I feel so badly about Katie. She is clearly not well, and the way Ashley came for her! Shameful.

    This episode made me want to visit a tropical island.
    It seems that the ladies (except for Candice) are learning from the watching the other Housewife cities that it’s important to at least fake a resolution and give the viewers some fun episodes instead of fighting non stop. Even though the scenes with Katie were hard to watch I enjoyed this episode, especially how the women decided to support Katie instead of bashing her.

    Katie had the pregnancy thing very late last year/earlier this year. All of the pictures are not on her instagram anymore either. That’s why I mentioned in the comments last week that she had to have been pregnant by then.

    I really enjoy this cast and franchise. I can’t remember why Katie Rost was cut in the first place? Like Kenya, she was articulate and I enjoyed how she could use her words (instead of butter knives, lol). Even totally out of it, her zinger to Ashley about laying with an 80 year old made me giggle. I don’t think we’re getting the full story on what’s going on with her. It appeared production clued the HW’s to take it down several notches for some reason – the about face was almost immediate, definitely out of character for HW’s who are prone to go all in when in paraduse GO TO SLEEP, lol.

      I too suspect everyone was told to lay of Katie. Too little to late though. They filmed her way longer than they should have.

    I feel so bad for Katie. She’s very obviously in a lot of emotional pain. I hope things get better for her. She’s a gorgeous, smart woman.
