I don’t usually do the RHOD Recaps but I thought I would give this season a whirl since I dropped Orange County. Plus there is a new housewife who is Mexican and she seems like she is going to be a lot of fun. Plus, there is tons of drama in the very first episode.
How does casting find the most outrageous and annoying wedding planners. They still have seven or eight weeks until the wedding so we will see a lot of this glitter farting dude. But what this scene is really about is to remind us that D’Andra accused Rich of cheating last season.
The good news is we get to start with a photo of Jeremy! That is one hot man. The bad news is that D’Andra’s mother only turned the companies over to her in near bankruptcy. Her mother also won’t let her take out a business loan from the family trust. Jeremy suggests they downsize and live a less glamorous lifestyle. D’Andra is not down with that at all.
Stephanie Hollman
Stephanie and Travis race hoverboards on their marble floors in their giant mansion. These two seem to be in a better place this season. But, Travis is having a midlife crisis because he is turning 50. Stephanie is having the girls over to try to get LeeAnne and D’Andra to make up with each other.

Sidenote: In real life, Brinkley, Brandi’s daughter was in the hospital for a few days last week. Brandi did not disclose the reason. There is just no telling with that one. Brandi needs to learn how to raise children with manners. Brinkley’s smart mouth needs to be checked.
I’m bored. I am all caught up and pausing this cemetery scene so I can fast forward through it. I don’t know why production thinks we want to see stuff like this. Oh, this is the place that D’Andra is going to talk to her mother about the business.
Kameron Westcott
I totally forgot that Kameron existed! I can’t remember how I felt about her last season. Why is she packing for a cruise? It is filming season! Oh it is spring break. But it doesn’t seem like the kids are going.
Kary Brittingham
Finally we meet “D’Andra’s friend” Kary. Looks like production is stacking the deck to favor D’Andra. She seems like a good addition so far. Kary does appear to be be taking her kids on spring break. Oh it’s a mother daughter school trip to the Bahamas. Sadly, that won’t be happening again for quite some time. We get to meet Eduardo and he seems like a good guy.
The Friendtervention
This is not going to go well. Stephanie wants to get the fences mended between LeeAnne and D’Andra. D’Andra seems to be coming in with a good attitude. LeeAnne has come in expecting an apology. That’s never a good start to these things. However, D’Andra came in saying if she needed to apologize for the millionth time she would. So, fingers crossed.

Leeann says that she was very hurt over the loss of her friendship with D’Andra who she considers family. D’Andra says she apologized and thought it was accepted. Then she went home to discover that Rich has been texting Jeremy threats about exposing his affair with “pretty Jessica who is everything that D’Andra is not.” It seems like a tit for tat thing. That behavior from Rich kind of surprises me.
I read on Bravo today that D’Andra says Jessica is a dental hygienist who had a crush on Jeremy. Apparently, she is mentally ill and had a restraining order or three against her. I read that only a few hours ago and have already forgotten the details.
Anyway, there doesn’t seems to be a peace pipe about to be shared here. Leann is coming after D’Andra with sarcasm. And she doesn’t care for D’Andra’s posture. It seems she is sitting up to straight for LeeAnne’s liking.

D’Andra is trying really hard to give LeeAnne a chance to rekindle their friendship. But apparently LeeAnne needs acknowledgment whatever unjust comments she is born the brunt of are way worse than things she was saying about everyone else. Call me crazy but constant discussing about Mark getting his dick sucked by guys at the round up was way worse.
D’Andra apologizes for the millionth time. LeeAnne immediately dismissed it. D’Andra continues to be gracious and explain that she cares about LeeAnne and want nothing more than her happiness. But, LeeAnne is still a bitch about it in her talking heads that were probably filmed much later. So, I ‘m guessing this didn’t work out forlong.
Next week’s RHOD Recap will have a lot more Katy. It seems like she’s not that happy in her marriage. Clearly, reality TV is a great move in that situation. The DVR cut off at a party where all the men were there. Ut oh.
I love RHOD. It’s watchable because they are at least in the same social circle. RHOOC is literally unwatchable- it’s time to cut the cord on it.
I don’t see Rich sending that text. I think it was LeeAnne Locken sending the text from Rich’s phone. Rich was on Dallas SWAT, they showed snippets of his personal life then and he always seemed to be the voice of reason and not drama. Although he does have two divorces, marriages typically have drama when they fall apart.
That text sounded too much like LeeAnne wrote it, what guy says that Jessica is everything D’Andra isn’t?
Hmm I think you might be on to something. But did you see the preview for next week? Rich (I think it was Rich) seemed peeved about something and was staring at someone across the room the party was held in.
No, that was Jeremy staring at LeeAnne at the roast.
Thanks!
I am pretty sure that was Jeremy staring at LeeAnne as she went up to roast D’Andra at her birthday party. I am not saying Jeremy and Rich are choirboys, nor am I saying they wouldn’t cheat. When Rich was getting divorce 2 or 3 there were some fidelity issue rumors flying around then. When Rich was on Dallas SWAT and Live PD Rich was a very fine looking man. Women in Dallas would have dated in in a hot second.
I didn’t run in those circles when I lived in Dallas so I don’t have any real scoop or knowledge. I just think that text was definitely LeeAnne speak.
Rich is a handsome silver fox and still hot. I saw Jeremy and D’Andra at Central Market a month ago and those eyes of Jeremy are more amazing in person.
I like LeeAnne, but I agree with you. That text message sound like her giving D’Andra a spoonful taste of her own medicine.
The text came from Rich and your blog seems very biased towards me. I get it! Not everyone has to like me but I had every reason to believe that D’Anger was faking wanting a friendship. When I asked – WHY do you want a friendship, she replied, cause it’s the right thing to do! Not I miss my friend and want you back in my life! #truth
Fair enough. Thanks for stopping by LeeAnne. It’s nothing personal, just recapping my opinions on what I see on TV.
It seems pretty obvious that D’Andra is playing for the cameras.
LeAnne appears genuinely hurt; D’Andra is thirsty. Thirsty enough to go after her mother on national tv and whine about a trust fund. Remember all those expensive gowns in her closet? Seems like she spends a lot of money. Maybe that is why she can’t access the trust.
I know unlike the other franchises, RHOD cast members interacts with the fans on their social media page. We really appreciate it, but are you really LeeAnn Locken? I thought “the right thing to do” comment was a bit insincere. TT always love your recaps.
Thanks for recapping Dallas. I’ve enjoyed this franchise more each season and their premier didn’t disappoint.
Brandi’s life gives me a migraine lol. I’m so happy that I live surrounded by peace and quiet.
Was the pool still in Stephanie’s house? I thought it was a “must go” for her to live there.
They paved over it. Apparently it is a hoverboard arena now. 🙂
Thanks. For some reason I thought that they were racing around the pool on their hoverboards
D’Andra was trying with LeeAnn, not sure why. D’Andra has enough issues trying to pull that company out of bankruptcy. LeeAnn is the type to shoot herself in the foot and blame anyone standing close by. I couldn’t be friends with her.
I agree with MsCarlyTx I find it suspicious that Rich would lower himself to send a text like that, sounds way more like LeeAnn texting ??!! When/If Rich admits it I’ll believe it.
Brandi girl there is no way I would let any of my children talk to me like that. Yes I’m from the South and still believe in corporal punishment if the behavior warrants it, most of the time I ground them to their room without tv/ electronics for a day or two & only coming to the supper table. two of my daughters are avid book readers (like me) one is 28/ one is 12. A third can draw art amazingly well. Childern can get creative on their own. Even tho I will give her props for spending time with her children.
Stephanie seems to be in a truly happy place. She makes me laugh, especially talking about Travis ( manscaping) BWWHAHA.
I’m going to miss seeing Cary as much but she choose to be a friend of so hopefully she be in some scenes later on..waiting to pass judgment on the new Kary but so far I’m liking her.
I’m not from “the south”, some people might even call me a damn yankee regardless of the fact that I have lived all over our country and overseas but my mom broke a (my) hairbrush on my ass, I won’t go into the too many to count “go to your room and wait for your punishment” the waiting, the worst, then the reprimand, then the paddling with a wood paddle like frats have or if it was mom, a big ass wooden spoon. Honestly? I wasn’t perfect, lol, I really did deserve the punishment I received, I pushed every limit most of the time, I’m sure I was an exhausting child. I think a lot of that type of punishment is generational/aging out…I was wacked with a ruler by Miss Sebaccus (Pennsylvania) across my wrists for cutting someone’s hair in 1st grade…I could go on…Principle’s office, spankings, I really was a handful yet I survived and my parents are the most wonderful people I know. My youngest child was horrible at “time out”, the best punishment we found to be really impactful is to remove the door to her room, discovered at age 3 when she went through a slamming doors phase and it’s worked ever since!
Cary is going to be a “friend” this season. She supposedly stepped down due to her opening a Spa/Treatment center.
Brandi’s daughter needs to meet Little Granny (wooden spoon). That’s what my friend used on her daughters. That spoon was so sadistic, it was decorated to look like a little old lady (hence Little Granny).
Little granny. That’s funny.
I understand Cary is working on her own reality show involving their Plastics practice but not too many details were available at the time.
Yay to seeing this recap! I hate to put all my eggs in one basket but damn the franchises for me were at one time overwhelming now I’m just taking them off of my DVR like candy! And I LOVED them ALL *ref Bethenny, for probably too long…
I finally made it home! Me and my DVR are set for a day of catching up tomorrow (Y&R tonight, dh tolerates it the best of what I record besides house hunters… everywhere…lol) unless the kiddo wants to do something with her dear old mom. No school tomorrow, cyber attack on the school’s system so apparently educating can’t happen? Friday school day in limbo as well. What in the world?
Leann and D’andra both need to go back to dark hair. Neither one looks good with those highlights.
Oh my gosh yes! The hair was terrible…not to mention the length. UGG
My color on my TV might be off but I liked both except for the length.
I just love this franchise and I’m so glad it’s back! It reminds me of NY in the sense that there are actual friendships in this group. It just makes the dynamic so much better. I totally forgot to tell you, we were at LAX last November going to Vegas for a few days and my husband saw D’Andra on his way to the bar. He was a little embarrassed because he kind of stared at her for a second trying to figure out how he knew her. He thought she might be a customer from his bar. She kind of looked back at him, like what are you looking at and then he realized…anyway his main impression was that she is really short in person. I was bummed I missed her.
She is a lot shorter and a little smaller in size. I was surprised, when I saw them at the market. I didn’t stare or approach. We said hello and I kept it moving.
Brandi I will never care for. Her kids are little replicas of her and they model themselves after her.
I don’t know how D’Andra’s husband puts up with her. She was so rude to his grown kid when she tried to parent him. I think there is a lot going on in her world and she expected her Mother to hand over a everything to her. She’s a spoiled BRAT IMO.
LeeAnne remains LeeAnne and the bridge is closed! I think I read that D’Andra was not at the nuptials.
I am not liking the new addition and seems like her marriage is headed South of the Border.
D’bratna needs to look at whats going on in the world. Natural disasters everywhere. Violence everywhere. But hell will freeze over before she wears an 18,000.00 ball gown twice. She needs a reality check.
I think LeeAnne was such a bitch about the whole thing bc D’Andra apologized yet again but of course not until the cameras were rolling. If D’Andra was really sincere, she would have made efforts in the off season to make up. On the flip side, I do think LeeAnne wrote the text and she seems like she will take ages to forgive anyone..
I can understand the lag between apologies. If for some insane reason I wanted to be friends with LeeAnne again, it would probably take the support of Production, other housewives, and several Valium to attempt it again. Even a non face-to-face conversation would be daunting. When texting, LeeAnne (whether as herself or masquerading as Rich) scorches the earth.
Yes Yes Yes, I so agree with this. LeeAnne goes scorched earth when she is mad either while texting or in person.
I forgot to say thank you Tamara for recapping this. RHOD and RHONY are my favorite real housewives shows now. The rest of them aren’t that good anymore.
I agree with everyone that LeeAnn is the likely culprit re the text. From various media, it seems that she is popular with fans. I don’t get it. She is a complete nasty bitch. And crazy. I am not at all interested in her wedding, or any other scene she is dominating. Her “victim” story from her upbringing is boring and no excuse for her conduct.
Plus, does anyone else think that she has had major plastic surgery? Her face looks different to me.
Totally agree with everything you said. I couldn’t be friends with her for fear of retaliation if we fell out.
I usually agree with your assessment (obviously I read here), but totally disagree with LeeAnne and D’andra. I think D’Andra is just mean to LeeAnn like Brandy is. Now, LeeAnne is no angel those to go out of their way to be mean to her.
Glad Carrie Duber didn’t come back. How many times can we watch her husband drool over her.
Tamara,
This is my first time commenting. I just wanted to say that I first read your blog about the Jacksons, (oh lort, remember when the Jacksons took Katherine and tried to make it like she was abandoning the kids?) then I just took a break from reading blogs all together, but then came back a couple years ago (2017 ish) just wanna tell you that your recaps are appreciated. And your dog Banjo is adorable. 🙂
Sorry to burst your bubble but Cary will be a friend this season. You’ll see her soon.
I am curious if anyone is from Dallas, what is the perception of this group? Are they generally welcomed or considered to be a disgrace within the community. I guess every series has their fans and critics, but when out and about in public I’m just curious if they are treated like normal, like celebrities or snubbed when it comes to sort of representing the town/area.
I live in Dallas. RHOD cast gets lots of love here, especially with the LBGTQ community. Now, there maybe some condescending critical stares given to them in Highland Park and University Park, but for the majority of DFW Metroplex can give a rip about their behavior on television. I have seen them out shopping and around town and it is just a normal. For the most part, this is Texas. Maybe staring, but no fan mob here. 😀
Interesting, thank you. That’s what I thought but wasn’t sure.
I like LeeAnne. I don’t blame her for sticking it to D’Andra some more because she really went relentlessly hard for LeeAnne last season.
I also like Kameron. She is hilarious. I liked her friendship with LeeAnne last year. I hope ut survives whatever dispute they have in this season.
Lastly, did anyone else catch that Stephanie could not walk in her stilettos at her friendtervention? When I saw her gimping, I was wondering how she hurt her leg. Then I realized she was struggling in her shoes! From a woman who can barely go higher than 3 inches, I say “don’t do that to yourself girl!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m a Karey fan too. I cant stand D’eandra. She showed no empathy for Leanne. Leanne really was hurt by losing their friendship. D’eandra just seemed…not to care? Anyway, I cannot relate to a mom setting up her daughter for a business fail. I mean, I certainly hope D’eandra is being paranoid, or are these the type of sick games played by the rich?!
I like D’eandra but if you have watched past episodes, she definitely has a spending problem. Hopefully that didn’t transfer over to the business however 1 yr to only have 3 months of net cash flow, would have taken some really bad decisions. You wouldn’t think her mom would do that nor want to see her legacies suffer/end.
I don’t think spoiled D’Andra and Leeanne will ever repair their friendship.
I don’t care for the new Kary. She seems to be the secret weapon D’Andra will use against LeeAnne.
I don’t mind Kameron either.
I know folks say Stephanie and Brandi hang out a lot of camera but their friendship seems different.
Is there a contest going on between the Dallas housewives over who has the longest hair? Kudos to them for having the patience to grow their hair that long. It must have taken years. 😏
Those are extensions. That being said I don’t understand why menopausal women feel the need to have hair down to their nether region!
I agree with, JenRich, 100% I don’t care for the length, but I do like the color on both of LeeAnn and D’Andra…as women age, I don’t think super-dark hair is flattering…IMO
Rox, I agree with you. The color I liked but the length is too much.
D’Andras accusation last year was baseless. That’s why LeAnne is angry/hurt. D’A choose to believe a mentally unstable person instead of LeAnne. That was not Jessica by the way! Jessica is the girl who might be having an affair w Jeremy. Now why wld D’Andra herself mention Jessica? Even If their marriage is solid, ppl will start talking and make assumptions. That can be hard for any marriage.
D’Andra mentioned Jessica to have a story line to keep the drama going between her and LeeAnn and to h ave a reason to star in a role as the victim of LeeAnn’s wrath. I am so sure, she will turn the Lazy Suzy around and claim that LeeAnn brought up Jessica on camera. Mama Dee’s mini me is piece of work.
BT- i agree with you. I think Brandi’s daughter is imitating her. I think if her daughters attitude was directed at someone else Brandi would love it. Please help me understand way some of the women have full time nannies when from what we have seen they don’t work. I was a nanny for a 6month old little girl until she was about 1 yr old . I cared for her Monday- Friday from 6am-6pm. When I arrived in the morning her parents left for work and when they got home I filled them in on the day then I left. Maybe the kids are acting out for attention. I’m sure the nannies are loving and attentive but for me nothing compares to time with my parents. I guess if the parents and kids are happy and healthy that’s all that matters.
I felt the way the daughter spoke to Brandi she was imitating someone else who speaks that way to Brandi. My thought was that Brandi’s husband speaks to her like that and the daughter was imitating him, knowing that it’s ok to talk to her that way because of the example he set. I know they say everything is hunky dory now but, if you remember season 1 he was a real jerk to her. That was my thought anyway.
Does anyone know what happen to Rich’s eye? At first I thought it was temporary but he’s wearing the eyepatch again this season. I do not recall if they ever mentioned it.
I’m sure LeAnne took it in order to complete the voodoo to get Rich to the alter.
Rich had a ligimate eye injury that require surgery. I am not sure if that is the reason he retired from Dallas PD S.W.A.T division. Boy, loved watching Dallas SWAT on AE channel.
The ratings tanked for RHOD. Guy’s Grocery Games had higher ratings than last night’s premier.
I love me an episode of Triple G! 😂
I do enjoy the RHOD. Glad to hear Cary D is coming back. I enjoyed her as a working mom/housewife and the insight she showed us into her extended family.
Oh. I like Guy. I watch Food Network, but the all day and all night cooking competition shows is becoming a bit mundane for me.FM is morphing into the Bobby Flay Network. I like RHOD and will still watch.
