RHOD Recap: Remember The Alamo

December 18, 2019 by tamaratattles 73 Comments

RHOD RecapThis RHOD recap  is going to be short but sweet. I have been fighting off a cold for what feels like forever. They are closing elementary schools for the rest of the year here for the flu. I hope don’t feel that bad, I am just tired, and hoping I can stay awake for the Survivor reunion. I’ve been looking forward to it all day.

And also, I am not really looking forward to LeeAnne’s downfall. I feel like she is done on this show. And it’s kind of sad. She is going to be called a racist (which I have repeatedly explained is not true. So I am not going to get too deep in this ditch.

LeeAnne may be a nutcase but she is the star of this show. So it kind of sucks she will be nailed to the cross on the upcoming reunion like Jesus and Vicki Gunvalson were. Sorry for the sacrilege.

I’m confused. Didn’t we already have LeeAnne and whatshisname’s wedding? Why doesn’t Brandi get that her kid doesn’t like all the new babies. Why are we doing this again? This entire episode feels like a rerun. Am I watching the wrong show?

CLICK HERE FOR MORE RHOD RECAPS!

Okay, maybe I inadvertently smoked crack? DID WE NOT ALREADY HAVE THE WEDDING? I just checked and that was several episodes ago. WTF IS HAPPENING!? Apparently this is all the things they didn’t show us this season. Tammy Faye Baker is the usual scammer.

The Weekly Dose of BS

Please make it stop. Brandi wonders if she should adopt Bruin’s sibling. I say NOE. Hell NOE. Foster care would probably be better.  And I am some sort of an idiot because this is not a new episode. Have I already done this recap or did I skip it? Maybe  I recorded the wrong show?  I do not remember this show at all. But I thought it was the one where everyone called Leeanne racist. Apparently I recorded the wrong show. It LITERALLY SAYS FINALE ON THE SCREEN THOUGH.

I have no idea what I just watched. Apologies. My SVR gave me the wrong episode. I am kind of glad I missed the Leeanne is a racist episode.  Maybe she sued? But I am off to watch Survivor. Comment on Dallas here .

      Oh please, she repeated Kary’s words: “I’m a bad ass Mexican… or whatever….” What a shit show. If someone rants to me about how bad ass they are, I will throw those word right back at them. This has nothing to do with Mexicans, but thirsty Kary who wants a house in her name. How many times do we have to hear that. LeeAnne has a bad temper and that is all.

      BTW– All public record that Eduardo (Kary’s husband that she cheated with and got knocked up while he was still married) was in litigation with his now ex-wife over a promisory note that he refused to pay. Years of litigation She won. Yeah. I’m sure he will be generous with Kary.

            Not to mention that chirpy means cheerful, lively; according to the dictionary. While Leanne doesn’t care for Cary B, chirpy is hardly an insult. She may be angry, but I don’t think she is racist.

              Chirpy is totally an insult in the context Leanne used it. It’s like snowflake or delicate or precious or anything else. It’s all context. I’m personally not a huge fan of Leanne but I have a little soft spot for her, when she’s not bemoaning her childhood for the zillionth time, and I don’t particularly care for Kary at all. I find her controlling, stubborn and irritating. I just wish for her own sake that Leanne wouldn’t have kept repeating Mexican over and over, especially with the overdone accent. She really didn’t do herself any favors.

            Oxford Dictionary: Racism:
            prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

            She is racist according to most definitions of racism. Kari was right when she called Leanne racist.

        THANK YOU!!! I can’t believe that your post is the first thing I’ve read about kary being thirsty. She has manipulated the whole group to take down leeann. She cozied up to deandra first just to get under leeann’s skin and did the same with kam.
        She has been going after leeann the whole season, for a storyline.
        I can’t stand kary.
        And I agree, kary has been calling herself a strong. Bad ass. Can- take- on- the- red- district mexican the whole season. Leeann just called out kary with her own words. Being mexican is not an insult. She IS Mexican. She is proud of it.
        LeeAnn is not racist.
        Bravo is going to lose the only person that kept me watching rhod when they toss her. That’s obvious from Andy’s reaction to that dumb caller on wwhl the other night.
        I agree with you 100%

I think if I went to another country and constantly was in people’s faces about America that people would tell me to STFU. I don’t think LeeAnne is racist. This is some exacerbated BS!

            YAS!! New Kary should be a one and done regardless of what happens to Leanne. She is a thirsty shit stirrer who clearly does not know the history between the other women. She is also a gold digging wannabe who clearly thinks she is entitled and smarter than she is. Also, NEVER used a condom??? Gross. I will name call her correctly—White Trash. And if they have to use subtitles for her poor English speaking it’s annoying to keep up with while she’s throwing fits and carrying bones. Chirpy is putting it mildly. Eduardo’s family’s house is beautiful, and she should be grateful he actually married her but she wants MORE. Bitch, please. She knew exactly what she was doing every time. She better be nicer to him or she will be on the street and Bravo won’t GAF.

          If Leeanne was racist this season, I didn’t see it. I would like her a lot more if she would get a better handle on her emotions and shut up already about her childhood.

          100% agreed with you Anna. Can we get a montage of all the times Kary stated she was better at X because she was Mexican?

          Eduardo is not a stupid man, no way he is putting any assets in Kary’s name. She just stated on national television she might not stayed married to him, unless she gets paid for it. In America that makes you a prostitute.

        Her comment definitively wasn’t racist, and this is coming from an African America / Black person who definitely knows the difference. This was like someone calling me a spoiled American. Where I would just have brushed it off my shoulders and been like “jealous much”? And it is a shame that a lot of these “Caucasians” on the show is exploiting this as well as the “minority” Kary, who may have experienced real racism herself before (but who knows). My point being is the whole time Kary was say, as I paraphrase, “Oh you can’t drink like me, I’m a Mexican. You can’t do these stairs like me, etc.” I was like she was representing herself like a possible Cartel-style person. So she opened herself up for those comments, which may have been stereotypical a bit, but not racist. Not saying no one on that show is racist – but racism, for all who have really truly experienced it, isn’t just words or a deep down feeling, but also actions of systematic oppression, prejudice and discrimination and more. Moreover, racism usually is where one feels superior to another. If she is implying that Kary was a “Big Bad Mexican,” that is quite the reverse. She was saying that we should be scared of Kary, not that Kary should be bow down to her. It was more stereotypical – once again. That on the show was nothing, but a Girl / Cat Fight where folks couldn’t take the heat, but refused to stay out of the kitchen.

    Bravo keeps running the “scenes never seen on TV” and the “behind the scenes” versions of episodes that previously aired. Sometimes, there is text to add details. e.g. the cost of the dinner, how late someone was, how long Ramona was stuck in the elevator ?, what production had to do to clean up, etc.

    WHAT WOULD BE AWESOME — in the REAL definition of the word — would be if Bravo would run these episodes with Tamara’s PURPLE PEN for the ’splainin’ text! I would DIE for that. Bravo would make a fortune. TT would get rich!

      Yes! And these newly added “never before seen” episodes are filling up my DVR and it’s annoying af. Like every show does it, even below deck. I have to erase daily bc I don’t want to give Bravo one more viewer on anything except the few remaining ones I watch. This boycott of one adds up and eventually I’m hoping there’s enough of us to make a difference! Btw, I hope you go back to the Brano avatar once the current atl season is over! It’s my favorite! xo

      Mexican is a nationality and specifically, Kary’s nationality. I think in Leeanne’s mind she could have happily substituted the words Canadian, New Yorker, southerner, etc. if the description had applied esp since Kary does reference her own nationality quite a bit. Would someone from Brazil be called a racist if they insulted LeeAnne by calling her a chirpy american in anger?
      However, her anger got the better of her and she should have never gone down that road and that was just ignorant of her to think it wouldn’t go sideways. I do not think she is racist, just troubled and insecure. And maybe xenophobic which is basically a dislike of people from foreign countries. I think a lot of people misinterpret xenophobia for racism nowadays. I hope this makes sense. It is late and I have strep throat and can’t sleep.
      And now we are focused on this crap instead of…….. Kary’s classic GOLD DIGGER MOVES! OMG, am I the only one who noticed the “I know I have no money and don’t work and you support my children 100% but I need you to put my name on the house and who cares that it is in a family trust to protect it from gold diggers like me” dinner conversation? Man, if that was my goal I’d be taking copious notes bc it was masterful.

        I Live in a country where there are so many illegal aliens that the signs in the grocery store where changed to Spanish. The Jewish section is still gone. The rest of the store has reverted to English, But the entire store caters to illegal and legal Mexicans. Southern foods are being taken out while Mexican things are being incorporated. These are facts.We have a SHIT TON of illegals here who are dictating what I can buy at my grocery store, So I get the Mexican hate. I know you guys don’t but it is a real thing, TEN YEARS AG0 when I was teaching my kids we knew when ICE was coming and half my class did not show up for school,And sometimes the Mexican Cartel would come for my kids family,

      Finally someone said it. She’s abusive to her readers/commentators and thanks it’s ok because she runs/owns the site. She excuses all of her behavior on her mental health issues. Seems like a perpetual offender/victim, much like Leeanne. Probably why she defends her and, as she states above, “understands the mexican hate.” I used to come and read here daily. If i come once every two weeks, it’s a lot and i don’t usually last more than one blog, before i’m grossed out by her behavior. I”m surprised she’s kept your comment at all.

    Tonight I am once again asking myself WHY I left Dallas? Did you see the desserts at the Edith’s French Bistro? Yes, they are as good as they look. When D’Andra was talking money with Mama D all I wanted her to do was shut up so I could focus on Momma D eating those chips and guac (missed where). Momma D, I will come eat chips and guacamole with you, I’ll pay for my half of the lunch and I will keep my mouth shut so we can both enjoy the food. For as much as D’Andra claims to love food let your Momma eat in peace girl. Then they showed Kary and her husband eating at Jose’s, all that food on RHOD made me regret my woeful dinner choice.

    I didn’t like Kameron when she first came on this show but I will say that girl has some substance. She is way smarter and more interesting than I gave her credit for during her 1st season. I do sort of miss the dynamic of Cary Deuber had with the ladies. Looking forward to the reunion and all that it is going to bring.

      I miss Cary D. too. Purely for selfish reasons, she would inspire me to get off my butt and do yoga! I’m still not totally on the Cameron train. She has moments when she seems ok and can be funny occasionally but I don’t think she’s much smarter than she lets on. She didn’t know what The Alamo was, I know she’s not from there but for the love of god she lives in Texas. I’m also not crazy about her telling people whatever they want to hear in the moment. And how she got so upset with Stephanie for not confiding in her. It’s totally Steph’s choice who she wants to confide in and when. That’s what I think anyway.

    Well, well, well. I don’t think she’s racist, she just has anger issues and yes, is jealous that Kam is befriending that horrible gold-digging husband stealing Kary. Does Bravo search out the most heinous of women for these shows and adds them here and there or what? TT, whoever that idiot is (nunya) calling you a snowflake and lazy is just jealous of you. She/he is sour grapes (aesop’s fables)… I wonder if LeAnne is done now on this show. Andy didn’t seem too happy with those comments. All I know is that is someone referred to me as that Eastern European/Russian Jew, I would hardly think it’s racist, especially if I made a point of bringing up my Eastern European/Russian Jew traits as often as Kary did.

    I love LeAnn but she completely lost her marbles in Thailand. I was on her side for Dressgate, but she took the Mexican mess too far. It was definitely prejudiced language. She has every right to hate Kary, Kary is pretty judgmental towards her and she looks down her nose at LeeAnn. She couldn’t control herself once she got scared Kameron was choosing Kary over her, which she wasn’t. But LeeAnn is so damaged, sge so afraid of being abandoned and she couldn’t communicate that to Kameron in a rationale manner. she can’t pull herself back before she completely loses it. I hope she stays, because the show would be hella boring without her but she needs to apologize for her actions

    I’m so glad someone said that calling someone a Mexican isn’t racist. Kary is just trying to be relevant in any way she can. It’s working. We’re all talking about her. I don’t get offended when people tell me I’m Irish. Probably because I’m Irish. But if you were to call me a mick THAT is a racial slur. I still can’t put my finger on which muppet Kary looks like. It’s one with massive jowls…. it’ll come to me….

    Leeanne is not racist.
    Everyone on this earth has a right to be prejudice, that is sociology 101.
    She is Mexican and Leeanne referred to her as such.
    Chirpy is an adjective she put in front of the word to describe that she talks a lot.
    Leeanne got that in her head because Kary said in early episodes I am Mexican, strong, etc.

    That’s all.

    Kameron showed she is a disloyal snake.
    D’Andra is still enrage Leeanne told everyone she had $200 in her checking account.
    Brandi hates Leeanne from Day 1.
    Kary watched the show before she got on and knew who she wanted to make alliances with.
    Stephanie is weak but nice.

    Since day 1 they treated Leeanne like a second rate citizen and that I believe is because she was on a lower economic level and a Carnival person.

    I honestly think them ganging up on leeanne was very wrong.
    Did anyone see Karmeron’s pip squeak husband pull her from Leeanne, because he is so scared of the bad publicity for his “business”.

    Andy, how dare you say on WWHL that you don’t support Leeanee’s vile and disgusting words, when a lot of housewives have said tremendously worse.

    And this is America, we speak American, 800#’s, signs should not have any language but American, period.

    My parents came from Italian, they didn’t have the privilege of having Italian representatives and Italian signs in America.
    And they had to be LEGAL.

      My mom is first generation mexican. Dad is first generation Russian. And 3rd gen Italian. If someone called me anyof those names, I would not be offended when though I call my self American.
      But if I were called wop, wetback, etc, then I would be.
      So again, only racists and idiots think being called mexican is racist if the person identifies herself as mexican.

    I recommend a spin through the Wikipedia articles on racism, xenophobia, ethnocentrism, bigotry or any related topic.

    I 100% believe in the power of Bravo editing and Leanne may be the victim of some unfortunate word choices, innate prejudices and assorted crap.. None of this makes her a terrible person.

    However, it’s totally disingenuous to distill the word “racist” to a mere biological concept in today’s society. That sort of semantic argument isn’t commonly accepted in our world. Maybe that’s wrong. But words evolve. And all the definitions and articles I’m finding encompass a much greater depth of the word.

    Legalism in English is a forum on its own. TT, you’ve always seemed to be a keeper of words, sometimes slightly longer than the rest of political correctness or social acceptance. Which is your due.

    There are moments when I think a little bit of sourcing or deference to wider perspective might assist an an argument.

    Mexican is not a race y’all. Being half Puerto Rican, each nationality or ethnicity has its own stereotypes and my PR stereotype is being a little stabby when angry. Kary was feeding into hers and Lee Ann ran with it. Yes, she meant it in a derogatory way but it was not racist, just insulting. That is what she does over any perceived hurt. She lashes out. A tempest in a teapot.

    I mean they literally share a border. If it WAS racism, we’d have a rip roaring trade in the UK, every time someone from England called a Scot a “bloody ginger jock” or a Scot called them a “Blimmin English Sassenach.” We all get along, they call us cheap and we call them stupid, laugh about it, have a drink and noones a racist.

    Yes it’s a bit xenophobic, yes it’s meant to annoy, but until you’re standing at the border with a sign saying “xxxx GET OUT” you’re not really bigoted FFS. Calm down.

    With LeAnn I think it’s more the way she says things. When she’s angry she sounds SO AGRESSIVE, anything sounds good racist. She could say “teapot” in that voice and sound like a feral animal. She’s still a cunt though.

    I always tell my students if you are not sure, what you are saying or hearing is racist, remove the ethnic term, and replace it with Jew/Jewish or Black, and you will have your answer.

    For example:
    “Come on, (Mexican)! I thought you were all (Mexican) and strong!” Note: she was screaming that to another cast member while hitting herself because she was offended by Kary.

    “But that chirpy (Mexican) has to have her way.” Note: yelling at another cast member who hung out with Kary and did leave the Red Light District when Leanne demanded it.

    Leanne needs to leave the show for her health. She cannot manage the social situations because she has unresolved issues. I empathize with her because I had a similar childhood. I had to realise that the sins of my mother are not mine. My life is less chaotic now because of that realization. Leanne exists in the whirlpool of despair and is her worst enemy as she creates the problems with her bad behaviour that cause the rejection she dreads. She blames her childhood when she gets called out, and when someone is not buying her BS, she attacks them or uses deflection. She won’t challenge Kary for what is bothering her, she goes after Kary’s ethnicity because that is how she dehumanizes Kary to justify her dislike. Kary is actually a friend because friend’s tell you the truth. Leanne has a great man, and she should focus on the positive, get off the show, and do serious work on forgiving her mother so the last part of her life she has some inner peace.

    WTF? If you hear something about an ethnicity just pretend it is about race so it is racism? You are an idiot.

      Respectfully, Tamara, folks are trying to help you out here. What is your understanding of race? Race is not scientifically real, but racism is a social and historical fact– as is racism against Mexican Americans in TX, the context of this show. Good people can say racially insensitive things, and that can contribute racism. They can also stop saying them with a little bit of awareness. That’s what Canadian is trying to help her students with. She is not an idiot.

        It is difficult to attempt to discuss racism with people who don’t know the difference between race and ethnicity.

          Hi Tamara, I like Leanne. I am feel very bad for her, because she is grossly misunderstood. She has a lot of anger for her childhood experience of rejection, but she targeted Kary on her vulnerability of being the only Mexican person because Kary called her out for her BS. People say racist things from ignorance or environment, and when it is pointed out to them, they realise, holy smokes. Kary being Mexican had nothing to do with wearing a hat in a temple or going to a sex show.

          I will close, by saying, you are right, I am an idiot for posting here. You can disagree with me, point out the flaw of my argument, but I am not going to participate in a space where someone says WTF and idiot at me. I gather you are not feeling the best right now, so I suspect that may be part of it, and if it is I understand. Or may be you really don’t care how your words affect others.

          Take care, and I won’t bother you here again.

    I don’t think LeeAnne hates Mexicans, I think she hates Kary and found “chirpy Mexican” as a way to hurt her. Just like I don’t think LeeAnne hates fat people, she just hates D’Andra and called her fat. LeeAnne is just the type of person to go cut throat when she hates someone. I haven’t seen any other example of her being racist/a bigot/xenophobe.

    I don’t mind Kary either. I don’t think she comes across well on camera but the other ladies seem to like her a lot. It would be interesting to see her back next season without LeeAnne. I get her position with her husband, I She was an idiot to get knocked up by a married man, but he’s the piece of shit that did it. Her momma probably pulled a Reba McEntire “Fancy” on her and told her she had to get out there and get her a money man. It’s not right, but she’s probably scared as shit now that he’s going to leave her and she’s going to be too old to marry for money again. She wants to get a piece of property so when her man leaves her, she can sell it and be okay until she can find someone else. It’s a tough job out there but someone’s gotta do it.

    But let’s be real… all these ladies owe LeeAnne their jobs right now. There wouldn’t have been a third season without her and the wedding. I don’t like LeeAnne.. I can’t stand how she wields her childhood trauma like a sword and then tries to “one-up” anyone who has had a rough go-at-it too. I think she thinks she’s relating to them, but just be empathetic, hear them out, and then maybe tell them what you did in this situation. But she’s the only reason, IMEO, of why there was another season.

    I think D’Andra’s entire storyline this year was fake. I don’t believe for a minute that the company was failing as bad as it was and she had no clue about it. Mama Dee does not seem like the type who’d keep it together if it were falling apart. D’Andra worked there for years according to previous episodes, she’d have to have an inkling that something wasn’t right before she took over. I think this sets her up for a nice “I saved my company” storyline next year (if there is one). I have no proof of this just my random Bravo conspiracy theory.

    I feel for Brandi. She had a much better year this year than last but man, it’s tough to be a mom and even tougher to be a mom on a reality show. I get nervous disciplining my kids in the grocery store because god forbid someone disagree with what I do, it’s just a shit feeling to be judged. What I would do to my kids if they spoke to me like Brandi’s kids do, would not sparkle with everyone. I don’t think what we see here is really what happens behind closed doors.

    I was conflicted on the Court/Kam interaction last night. I can’t imagine a world where my husband would say I couldn’t hang out with someone. I think he’s definitely doing it out of the love of his family’s reputation and not out of his heart for the poor Mexican community. I wonder how he’s felt about Kameron and LeeAnne’s friendship up until this point. Kameron was a breath of fresh air this season and has really redeemed herself from being such a snob in previous seasons. I want her and Stephanie to be friends but doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen. I think I would watch a show with just Kam, Brandi, and Stephanie. T

    I’m ready for the finale.

    Leanne is guilty of being stupid for putting herself in this position but not of racism. TT and janabanana posted my opinion much better than I can. Leanne saying that she grew up and slept with Mexicans were the most cringeworthy moments of the episode. (Check your DVR TT, mine is doing the same thing on BRAVO shows. I’ve been deleting the “Behind the Scenes, but need to fix). Kary is playing the HW game better than Leanne at this point.

    Does anyone else have a visual of Bruins bio-parents breeding for the sole purpise of producing more tv adopted children? I’m in TT’s Hell to the Naw club on this.

    Steph is darling with her new short bob. I wish she would leave her face alone!

    I ate 1/2 a king sized bag of tortilla chips with sour cream after watching Mama Dee eat nachos. Did the end notes realky say she gave D’Andra more money?

    I wonder…If Trump said the exact words LeeAnne has spoken in RHOD this season, would those words be labeled racist? I am speaking specifically about LeeAnne’s words, coming out of Trump’s mouth. I’m thinking if Trump voiced “chirpy Mexican,” there’d be wall to wall coverage of him being racist.

    It seems we pick and choose what is and isn’t “racist” according to who is doing the speaking and who is doing the judging. The rules change when we need them to change to protect people we like.

    Leanne is not racist. People are too sensitive. She was just repeating what we have heard from Kary herself, ad nauseum. I do not like Kary. Please come back Cary! Did not really care for Kameron her first season. Now, I get her and I love her. Favorite
