As I was pulling photos for tonight’s RHOD recap, I was struck by the fact that it’s almost impossible to find an unflattering photos of LeeAnne Locken. I get the photos by grabbing screenshots from the previews. I take a lot of screenshots and then go through and delete all the blurry ones, and the ones where people have their eyes closed etc. LeeAnne Locken looks perfect in every single one. She’s really stunning. Anyway, I am looking forward to this episode in Thailand. The travel episodes are always my favorites, even though it is mostly still brawling at dinner.
All the ladies are jetlagged on the first day in Thailand. At breakfast, I pause to google rambutan. Apparently it is a colorful fruit that is hairy on the outside. You cut it open and eat the fruit on the inside. The tastes is “sweet and sour” kind of like a grape. So now we know.
Etiquette Lessons
Kameron tries valiantly to tell the women about the local rules of etiquette. #1 Do not disrespect the King in any way. #2 Respect your elders. #3 No Teasing or Joking. #4 Do not stare at people. #5 Don’t whisper to someone while around other people. #6 No fighting in public.

D’Andra has bought one of Luann’s L’Infinity dresses to wear to dinner. This will not go over very well. D’Andra just loves poking the bear. But first, it is time to do some sightseeing. Kary says that lots of the beautiful women have penises. And with that knowledge, we head to the temples. They are beautiful. Brandi walks around the entire temple with “prayer hands.” It’s weird.
Hats Off To Thailand!
Kary, who has been to Thailand twice before, keeps having to be told to take her hat off before entering the temple. LeeAnne reminds her each time. This pisses Kary off. But each time she is literally trying to walk in before taking her hat off. That is not how it works. She makes a comment to Kameron and says this is her third time in Thailand and LeeAnne has never left the country before. Um, didn’t they just all go to Mexico? Kary is being a bitch this episode. I know some of you have said that before, but I’m just now getting on board with the Kary hate. She’s ruining my Thailand experience!

Brandi and Stephanie get their fortunes read. Stephanie is told she will not be murdered but will live long and die peacefully. Brandi was told that she needs either two or five children. So I guess five it is. Wait, apparently the five kids things for Stephanie! D’Andra’s fortune was basically “mama knows best.” D’Andra is also told if she doesn’t stop drinking she will need an operation.
We’re Not In Mexico Anymore!
Kary and D’Andra are the only ones trying the Thai street food. I hate when people on these shows eat at a random McDonald’s instead of trying the local food. Thai food is all the rage these days and you are in Thailand! Stephanie bought some food that she doesn’t really plan to eat just to give the appearance of being adventurous.

Leanne keeps making jabs at Kary that have to do with her being Mexican. Everyone flipped out over the trailer where Leanne is ranting about Kary and says she is supposed to be a “strong Mexican.” I didn’t have a problem with that at all. However, now that I see that she has continuously mention the Mexican thing every time she bitches about her, I can’t support LeeAnne on this issue anymore.
From Here To L’Infinity!
Before dinner, Brandi and Stephanie talk about Bruins sibling. The baby is a full sibling. She is so going to adopt this baby. Down the hall Kary and D’Andra try to figure out how to wear the L’Infinity dress. It takes forever so the rest of the gang head on the the restaurant for drinks. D’Andra can barely walk in the dress. All of the snaps are popping open. It’s a hot mess. LeeAnne is taking this well. You can tell that she is trying to to give them the satisfaction of popping off. But they just keep going and going.

Finally, Brandi and Kameron both stick up for LeeAnne. Stephanie also tells D’Andra she is hurting LeeAnne’s feelings. LeeAnne says she is not surprised at all by Kary’s behavior. But, she feels like she and D’Andra were getting back on the right track and now it’s clear they are not. The thing about RHOD is every week I feel differently about D’Andra, LeeAnne and Kary. This week, I am team LeeAnne. The other two just don’t know when to stop. D’Andra sort of apologies.
Leanne goes outside and Stephanie goes with her. Kary keeps trying to defend herself to Kameron and Brandi. Kary says that LeeAnne is a bully. She is the one being a bitch tonight. LeeAnne goes off on a rant about Kary. It’s the Mexican rant from the season previews. I am changing my mind about that AGAIN and really don’t care. Kary is a bitch.
Inside, Kary is getting pissy with Brandi for defending LeeAnne. Brandi stands her ground and says that LeeAnne was being picked on and she wasn’t just going to sit there and say nothing. Kary storms off in a huff. LeeAnne and Stephanie head back inside to a different part of the hotel. Probably because production told them too because they had no lighting to filming outside. LeeAnne finally has a meltdown in Stephanie’s arms.

Next week, we go to an elephant sanctuary. And that night they go to a ping pong show. Also we find out Kary has never used a condom.
So whose side are you on this week?
Wow. That was such a rotten thing to do with D and Kary with that dress. I never liked Kary from day 1. She’s got a lot of pent up anger at her husband about $. There’s no excuse for doing that. Don’t care how bad LeAnn can be.
Kary and Diandra are both mean girls. Sure, LeAnn has had some bat shit behavior in the past, but I do think it is because she has major issues that she hasn’t dealt with. Kary and Deandra on the other hand know better and their behavior was cheap, immature, and all around gross. I would also like to point out how RUDE it was for Kary to snap at the man at the local shop. You’re in their homeland. To not pay and then insult their goods, service is again, gross. Kary may be Mexican, but her behavior reeks of white privilege.
I think once the other girls see tonight’s episode and the getting ready part, they will know it was a set up to get a reaction and embarrass LeAnn. It was dumb, desperate, petty and an all around low blow.
LeeAnne doesn’t usually just start random things with people. People get annoying with LeeAnne sometimes and come for her, and at that point LeeAnne with tear them apart. But she is usually not the one starting shit, she just finishes it. The situation on this episode was a bit different to me because LeeAnne chose not to retaliate even though those two were pushing her hard. I see that as growth. And then the emotional breakdown was kind of heartbreaking. Congrats D”Andra and Kary for being full out bitches on the cast trip. I was proud of Brandi and Kameron and Stephanie for sticking up for LeeAnne.
Thai people are usually kind and as hectic as the cities are, there is a certain stillness in exchanges with people. Someone will come to your aid if it’s needed.
In these vacations I never see true appreciation for their surroundings and new experiences. They scream and are loud. So glad Americans are everywhere over there so those bimbos don’t represent us
note; Chinese are incredibly rude to the Thai people. They travel in large groups there. It’s horrible and interesting to watch except the Thai’s have their ways of getting back.
There is a dress code for all women in the Temples, (keep your shoulders/arms covered) Chinese women think they were exempt from these rules. No, they are politely escorted out by Thai women with male back up. Even they don’t mess with Thai police. I was smiling.
How rude of D’Andra to make fun of Leeanns dress.
Dandra sells skin care products but I don’t think Leanne would never make fun of her products.
Bravo should have shown more of Thailand rather than the dress scene with Kary and D’Andra.
I don’t like it when the cast is so mean to each other.
100 percent agreed Tamara! She is and has shown great restraint this season. And when she does ‘lose it’ it is because she has been pushed.
Very well said, I am actually fuming now. They were just aweful to Leanne and then Kary has the nerve to jump and attack Brandi for defending Leann? Its as if Kary wants everybody to side against Leeann. She is a piece of trash. Never liked her from the start. And Dandra is now washing her hands as she lets Kary do her dirty work. The two of then were really nasty. No matter what Leann has done in the past she def does not deserve this treatment.
Kary is an awful person and I hope she is joins the one season club! I’m not sure what D’Andra’s motivation was in bringing out that damn dress, but we all know it was a bad idea and classless.
I agree… I can’t stand her …. same old housewife… she’ll be divorced in 2 yrs & then have a jewelry line to hawk
Strongly team LeeAnne. I despise Kary after this episode. Uggghhh!
Ditto! Kary purposely pushed LeeAnne’s buttons every chance she could. She is very immature. I hope she does not return next year.
Same! Kary just seems so mean. I felt relief Brandi stuck up for LeeAnne!
Despise her wIth a passion. She needs to go
You’re a Fool
LeeAnne Locken is beautiful and she has a better body than the law should allow at that age. D’Andra and Kary were definitely being Mean Girls to LeeAnne and trying to humiliate her. I haven’t been to Thailand, I can’t give you the skinny on the places they ate tonight.
I do think Brandi is a loving Mom, if she adopts another baby she definitely needs to get some additional help around the house and with the children. If I could have afforded a housekeeper, a cook and so on I could have handled being a good Mom to a half dozen kids or more. It’s the errands, cooking, cleaning, laundry and running of the house that bogged me down. Please keep recapping this show and Top Chef. Two of my favorite shows, especially after DWTS eliminated ********EDITED BY TT********* this week. After being a loyal fan of Dancing With the Stars for 28 seasons I am done. I won’t even watch this season’s (obviously rigged) finale.
***********EDITED OUT BY TT ***************
I hope TT recaps Top Chef and that CJ Bomb and Lovely Les are back for Project Runway. NO PLACE ONLINE comes close to the PR recaps here. NONE.
Please don’t “spoil” other shows here. I realize that the episode already aired, but people who haven’t watched yet try to avoid posts about who goes home on elimination shows and would not expect a DWTS comment in this post. Thanks!
Also, CJ BOMB has let me know she will have to tap out of at least the first few episodes. Les might be able to take over, but I haven’t heard yet whether or not she is available. If not, you will have to be stuck with me for a bit and hopefully CJ BOMB will be back at some point.
But there will be recaps. I have no idea about fashion. I’m trying to morph into a butch lesbian in my old age. But you know without THE SEX. Apologies to butch lesbians everywhere. I am sure this is probably an inappropriate comment. I mean no ill will, it’s just another aspiration of mine that probably will not happen. BUT IT COULD! #MeridithBaxterBirneyIsMyShero Okay that was probably insensitive too. If it helps to get me off the shit list, when I taught at an elementary school there were two female teachers who were in a relationship. This was a long time ago, and they both had kids and I think were married before to men. They argued a lot and I was friends with both so I heard both sides. I thought their relationship was kind of great. I hope they are still together.
I think Brandi is a good Mom too! It is not easy to be a parent! I have read and am still reading any parenting and discipline books I can get ahold of. I think I have the same issue as Brandi where punishment is very difficult for me to merit. I know that’s a disservice to my daughters and I think we all do our best (I hope!) Brandi just seems like she has a lot of love in her heart and at least understands her limitations. I wish people would go easier on her here. I start tearing up when Brandi talks about parenting. You can tell she cares so much.
Brandi desperately needs parenting counseling. She’s AWFUL. But there is another parent in the home who clearly does nothing to parent the kids. The dad should be putting his foot down with the way that smartmouthed one talks to her mother.
When I was a teen my parents were have a huge argument about something and my mother was vicious to my dad. I went off on my mom in defense of my dad and my dad unleashed on me for being disrespectful to my mother. Even though I was defending my dad and mad at my mom. That’s how parents should work together though.
I miss sex, I think. It’s been so long maybe it’s my imagination. So TT if sex comes your way say yes, please.
Vibrators have come along way (the plug in kind). They also don’t snore.
Was it just me or did Leeanne come off somewhat racists this episode. Multiple times throughout the episode I thought she made comments that where xenophobic. First it was about eating at places where they “speak English” and then a comment about Kary not listening because she (Leeanne) didn’t say “it in Spanish”. Add that with the other comments her stating she needs to find a “Mexican word” for babysitting saying she should have joked in “hispanic”….just isn’t a good look for Leeanne. I am no snowflake by any means but I just found the continual reference to Kary and digs at her ethnicity to be way out of pocket. I’m sure this will become a big talking point at this season’s reunion.
LeeAnne was OTT racist. I feel as if since she isn’t getting the best edit, she is showing more of her true unattractive self. I would kill for a body like hers, but any beauty she may have is cancelled by the awful stuff that comes out of her mouth, her snide remarks about everyone, and her boohoo victim crap which is so old I don’t care anymore.
Production focused on the dress scene too long. BUT Kary is right that LeeAnne can and does dish it out all the time and can’t take her own medicine without reverting to her Queen of all Victims routine. Personally, I am tired of her sad childhood (which we aren’t even sure is totally true as she had her grandmom taking care of her) being her excuse for anything awful she does or says. She even had to mention it in her wedding vows. Many people have had tough childhoods or other personal tragedies. But they have learned to live happy productive lives. LeeAnne does not get an automatic pass for hers — she had the extravaganza wedding of her dreams and she’s still not happy. Get some more counseling.
Kari was the one that brought up ” I’ll go all Mexican on your ass” to Steve the wedding planner, so she opened that up! Can’t stand her, and her telling Brandi, do not defend her, listen you stupid broad, I’ll defend whoever I want! She needs to go!
There are five races generally acknowledged by anthropologists, Caucasoid (White), Negroid (Black) Capoid (Bushmen/Hottentots), Mongoloid (Oriental/ Amerindian), and Australoid (Australian Aborigine and Papuan).
Racism is the denigration of another person of a different race based on a feeling of superiority. So what race do you think Kary belongs to?
On the other hand, stereotypes and disagreements between citizens of neighboring countries is fairly universal. And anti-American sentiments are pretty universal overseas because of behavior like this.
I’m So over Leeanne and her.Poor Me crap. Feel like half of it is a lie. I mean …GORILLAS…PLEASE. Bullshit meter is pegged!
I, actually, will get flack for this. I do not feel sorry for Lee Anne. She is a mean spirited person. She hadjust made a racial remark about Kary calling her Mexican. She has made fun of everybody except Kameron. Karma is a b and she came to visit. Lee Anne acts like she is above everybody but says former Cary’s husband had his D accosted by another man. She not innocent here people.
No one is saying that LeeAnne is innocent. She most certainly does react, sometimes to extreme, when provoked. But in this incident she showed growth. You don’t have to have compassion for that.
But you should educate yourself about what racism is. There was no racism here. Kary and LeeAnne are both members of the same race.
Lee Anne has Mexican heritage? I know about racism, thank you very much. Lee Anne has not shown as much growth as you give her credit for. I stand by my original statement. You don’t have to like it and you most certainly won’t change my mind.
You don’t seem to know about racism. I’m trying to teach you the difference between race and ethnicity. Those are factually two different things. Because both LeeAnne and Kary are of the same race, Neither can be racist to the other.
On the other hand, LeeAnne’s emotional growth is an opinion. On that we can differ.
But the FACT is nothing LeeAnne said was racist.
I stand by my opinion. Sorry, that’s how I feel. It is my understanding that she is not Hispanic. I’m still not changing my mind. Thanks for info.
Once more with FEELING, “Hispanic” or “Mexican” IS NOT A RACE! Both Leeanne and Kary belong to the Caucasoid (White) race. This is a fact not an opinion.
You can’t look at a tree and say, in my opinion that is a dog.
So what word would accurately describe LeeAnne’s continual use of less-than favorable remarks towards Katy’s ethnicity? Xenophobic? Genuinely asking because I do understand how her remarks can’t be classified as racist but there was no other word I could come up with.
Well, Kary does talk about being Mexican a lot. In fact, on the next episode, LeeAnne points out that the sex shows are not in the safest part of town and they need to keep it moving. Kary goes on a long tirade about how she is Mexican so she knows whether or not a neighborhood is safe.
Many, many bordering countries tease and argue with each other about their nationalities. The French have a million jokes about how stupid Belgians are. The Belgians rag on the French for being smelly and dirty.
There doesn’t need to be a label for that. In this case, LeeAnne and Kary don’t like each other. It doesn’t need to fit into some labeled box. The MEXICAN stuff originates with KARY. LeeAnne throws her words back at her.
These days everyone seems to want to make every situation about some big movement, or blow it up into some broader societal issue. When it is simply two people who can’t stand each other.
Kary is proud to be Mexican. We are very proud people. However, the issue is how LeeAnne brings up Kary’s Mexican heritage in a disparaging way. LeeAnne’s comments were referencing her ethnicity in a negative way. Quite frankly, it just goes to show how ignorant LeeAnne truly is.
She does appear to be saying it in a negative way at times. I’ll give you that.
My opinion is that LeeAnne doesn’t hate Mexicans, she hates Kary. And Kary and her whole “Mexican Strong” thing is the easiest way to get to her.
LeeAnne knows that Kary’s hot button is mocking the “I am Mexican so I know…. ” Because Kary is very proud of being Mexican. As she should be. I just think that is why LeeAnne goes there. And Kary likes to travel shame LeeAnne. If Thailand was her first overseas trip, Kary mocked her for it. I mock the HWs for not immersing themselves in the culture but I was traveling internationally from age 6. For an adult women who has never been to a very culturally different country, I think LeeAnne did fine. She was VERY concerned about respecting the temple. She was a bit naive about shopping for touristy crap. But traveliing is very much a LIVE AND LEARN THING!
And shaming people for not traveling is rude. And LeeAnne being suspicious of street food is normal and common in people who son’t travel a lot. I was raised getting falafel from an old Arab man who fried them over an open flame while sitting on the side walk in Tripoli Libya and then sitting in “The Presidential Section” of the theater where for some reason they put Americans and falafel was my popcorn and jujubees. I still pick and choose what street food to eat. That said, LeeAnne said something like wanting to eat somewhere where people speak English was a bit odd. But again, she’s never been to Thailand. She probably just wanted to know what she was eating.
Until this episode I was anti Brandi. I loved the way she stood up to Kary & D’Andra to defend LeeAnne.
Eventhough she was rude & dismissive to Eduardo in their awkward dinner, I felt bad for Kary. After her display last night, she doesn’t deserve him. She confirmed that she’s a mean, nasty & vindictive person. The way she kept going on was terrible. She was also taking shots at LeeAnne all day. She went out the gate and told the vendor LeeAnne is stupid. Such an ugly look for her.
D’Andra’s disdain of LeeAnne is a continuation of her behavior in Denmark. This is the same woman that tried to provoke LeeAnne by taking a swing on her.
I think Kary and DeeAndra were being mean girls last night. DeeAndra didn’t wear the dress to support LeeAnne and if it was supposed to be a joke, it failed miserably. That being said, they were right to suggest that the dress should come with directions and pictures. It does look fairly complicated. I wish that LeeAnne would have just stood up, taken the pieces off of the dress, showed them how to attach them properly and then sat back down to enjoy her dinner. It would have burst their bubble. I did want to see more of Thailand and I would have loved to try the street food. It looked delicious. The way the Housewives behave in foreign countries is so embarrassing I’m surprised they’re still allowed to travel.
Thanks for the recap TT. With each episode, I dislike Kary more and more. Last night episode proves that she is a wackadoo with no sense. It is not often he tweets about the show, but Rich tweeted last night saying Kary is showing her real self. She is an unhinged homophobe, who can’t stop running her mouth. He included a screenshot of a tweet she sent to Steve Kemble after the wedding episode and she said she was going to go all Mexican on him. So, there you have it. She calls herself and implies she is “Mexican strong”, when she is unhinged. I can’t wait for this to be fully exposed at the reunion.
I never liked Kary, she is a mean vile person and D”andra is a spoiled entitled brat. Those two are mean girls from high school and have been pushing Leeann all season. Kary came on the show and her storyline is to go after Leeann, her own husband doesnt even like her.
Kary needs a story line while she works on her stash the cash plan, I am certain of it. So she is coming in mean, hot and stirring the pot. I think D’Andra needs to stick a fork in her friendship with LeeAnne, it’s done.
This trip isn’t one of my favorite RHO trips from a food and scenery view. I am all about the pretty places and plates, looking for places I might want to go.
Thailand… Thailand… where everybody gets a baby elephant! Kameron was my favorite part of this trip.
Also, way to go Brandi! She’s grown a lot since last season and I really appreciated her putting a stop to Kary and D’Andra.
Team Leeanne. Kary is a manipulative underhanded bitch. Probably because she doesn’t have a pot to piss in on her own so has been completely financially controlled by her husband. Now she’s a manipulative control freak mean girl. Bitch you don’t hold a candle to Leeanne.
