It’s FINALLY time for a new RHOP Recap where we will meet the new housewife, Wendy Osefo! Also As you know there were law suits and criminal actions filed between Monique and Candiace during the filming of this season. Plus, plus there is always some sort of sexual misconduct by Ashley’s husband Michael to get to the bottom of (errr so to speak).
We are starting with Monique and her new bird. She’s taking with it to film with Karen who is her new neighbor. I would turn her right around at the door with that bird. And I know way more than I need to about his habits while I am trying to eat dinner in between recapping. Karen slams the door in her face and tells her if it must come it, she needs to cage it. How many fake houses does Karen Huger live in? Why is there a deer on the tennis court. Karen gives us yet another story about her marriage to Ray. I’ll spare you.
Gizelle Has Been Dicktamized!
Gizelle is moving into her remodeled house that she bought last season. It looks a whole lot better and she is spending money. Gizelle is back with Jamal Bryant. Any esteem I had for Gizelle is over because of that. Remember back several seasons ago when Phaedra was accused of fooling around on Apollo with Mr. Chocolate? Well according to Cadillac Kim, that was Jamal Bryant. And his dick seems to make the rounds here in Atlanta. You can refresh yourself on all of that tea by clicking here. Their girls don’t want to talk to him either. The girls are old enough to have read about him online, sadly. Gizelle is stupid for taking him back. Jamal can’t keep his dick in his pants.

Speaking of brown dick, Candiace and Chris are throwing themselves a one year anniversary party. The two to pretend to have more money than they have. They want to pay about $5K for the event. The minimum for the venue they selected is $22K. People are ridiculous. Gizelle and Candiace got out to sample baked goods for the party. Candiace announces that she isn’t inviting Ashley to the party. I don’t blame her. But production will probably make Ashley go anyway. Gizelle and Candiace barely get along.
We Have Two New Babies This Season
Ashley and Micheal are enjoying being new parents. She’s unhappy that everyone says he looks just like Michael. But the kid looks just like Michael. Ashley is a very nervous first mom. It’s cute. But I imagine Michael gets tired of it. Meanwhile, Robyn and Juan are no closer to getting married. But they are looking for a bigger house. Robyn says they need to get married before they buy a house together. Juan is never going to do that, Robyn. Why does everyone think they need a huge house? Juan sort of tells Robyn they can get married. He does that every season.

Ashley and Monique get together to talk about baby poop. Note to self: Never try to eat dinner while recapping this show. We do not need to see all of this. Why is Candiace still on this show? Everyone hates her, and she is physically aggressive.
From $22K To A Box of Cupcakes And Cash Bar
Oh Hell To The No! Wendy is coming in as Candiace’s friend. I guess I should have seen that coming. If they had to keep her, they have to bring in someone who will film with her. Karen sort of knows her too. Both Candiace and Wendy were prompted to bring up “Karen’s fragrance.” Really? Are we doing that again this season? Karen let’s us know that while she has done charity work with Wendy in the past, she is not a fan. Oh Wendy has a new baby too!

Candiace pulls Gizelle and Karen aside. Candiace wants to clear the air with Gizelle. Gizelle says Candiace owes her an apology. And she needs to apologize to Ashley. Candiace is completely unaware of such a concept. Then Wendy comes busting into the conversation. She knows Jamal Bryant too (probably slept with him at some point like everyone else, allegedly). This new girl has the nerve to tell Gizelle how surprised she was she took Jamal back. Wendy is coming in like a bull in a china shop.
Wait, Who Are Candiace’s Two Favorite People?
Charisse is also at the party. No one is happy to see her and her trash talking mouth. Then, Candiace decides to introduce the two women she loves most in the world. First, her mother, who she barely speaks to and secondly, Karen Huger. HUH? Gizelle even says, “How’d that happen?” Why is Karen Huger giving marital advice when she and her husband never see each other? Karen of course spins a story about Karen and Ray. Candiace’s mama has already been drinking to the point of breaking wine glasses. So she talks about Candiace and Chris’s sex life, and her two husbands.

This episode was mostly one to refresh out memories on who these people are, and to plug the upcoming season where everyone screams and fights. So, you know, same shit, different season. And this episode had way too much literal shit. Also, Andy continues to bump up his ratings by tacking WWHL on to the end of Bravo shows and thereby screwing up my DVR filming schedule. Not cool on a Sunday night.
I truly cannot take another season of Robin @ Juan pretending like they want to get married. Gisele is just faking for the camera. Another season of her hating on Monique for every move she makes. Now that Monique had to beat Candace down, Gisele has a reason to harp on trying to get rid of Monique.Karen doesn’t have a leg to stand on. The whole Ray divorce story sounds very shaky and set up. Ashley with the baby will be interesting but her husband is always an issue for everyone on this show. especially with the type of shenanigans he loves to be involved in.
What she said. 👆🏾
I’m just happy no one from ”Hollywood” has infiltrated this franchise. BH and Atlanta both get ruined When the cast is so self aware.
I love Karen though, she’s the highlight of most of the real housewives shows. Her and Sutton remind me of eachother
I freaked the f^ck out when I saw that bird, I am petrified of birds. Some people get it and some just laugh at me, which I am sure most of you will. And I am okay with that. I cannot believe that Monique potty trained a bird and also her baby. Speaking of her baby, Chase is adorable. I also think Ashley’s baby is cute. Word from Mama Joyce’s streets is Gizelle relationship is fake fake. I can’t wait to click on the link to read the dirt on her ex. I guess if anyone can stay married to Candiace for a whole year, they too should celebrate it. How about celebrate the fifth or seventh year, so ridiculous. Also if you cannot afford to throw a party with free drinks you shouldn’t have a party. At least pay for two cocktails and than start a cash bar (so tacky). I am probably the only person who wishes that Charisse was still on the show. I want to see her Champagne Room again! The above photo of the women is really pretty and a very nice color palette.
Birds are dinosaurs, as far as I’m concerned *. I like little birds and I think large timid birds are interesting (i have a pair of giant woodpeckers who frequent my trees and I’m a huge fan) but domestic birds who make eye contact make me uncomfortable and I don’t think it’s ok to be friends with them. They’re flying reptiles*.
*Im not a scientist.
Speaking of birds – I had one in the garden today and it totally fecked me up – Long story short – I had a baby Griffin vulture and I would not like to meet the parent as hand on heart it would be HUGE and seriously scary ugly fecker – Jurassic Park scary –
Due to the heat there are about 40 of them circling the area.
God forgive me but I hope they are preying on unmasked drunken covidiots and scaring the shit out of them. If only…
You had me at “preying on unmasked drunken covidiots”!
Charisse doesn’t need to be back on the show. She’s a fake, nice nasty sow. I know from personal experience.
ooooooooooooooohhhhhh do tell.
Great friend of mine used to work for her. He loves to call her The Wicked Witch of Potomac. Having met her, she’s not good people, and she did him dirty over petty shit (much like she did Monique with people in the area, spreading rumors abt her).
He’s also spilled tea abt her not being at Candiace’s wedding cos Bravo wasn’t paying her to be there as a friend of the show.
I did like this show at one point, but it just bothers me now. I tried to watch, but 1. I absolutely cannot stand Candiace and I agree with Prycer (above), can’t afford the party, don’t have it. 2. There’s just TOO much fake about this show…Candiace is a total fake bitch. Then, there’s Karen’s fakes houses. Gizelle’s fake relationship. Michael pretending he’s doesn’t prefer dick. Juan pretending he’s going to marry Robin.
Honestly, Monique and Chris are the most authentic of the bunch.
Amen sister. Tried to watch and removed it from my DVR taping schedule. Fake. Fake and more fake. Done!
Same fake shit every season….Why bother.
Everyone and everything about this show is fake except Monique’s life.
Totally agree with you! Monique actually has a life that I admire.
I agree with everything you wrote. While I don’t condone violence, I can’t wait until Candiass gets what she deserves.
I would love it if Andy through Bravo fired candiace on the reunion show if not before. She really is difficult to watch. She is the most arrogant, jugemental, spoiled twit I’ve ever seen. She just not likeable and is unable to say she is sorry. She represents herself as an entitled DIVA. She is attractive on the outside but purely hateful on the inside. She needs an accountability coach.
His dick makes the rounds in Atlanta! I peed myself reading!
I just love RHOP! These women really have deep connections for years of deep resentments on the refresh cycle!
Gizelle and Karen give some good reads. But Monique gives a real good actual life that I am jealous of.
Robin’s barrettes looked ridiculous to me. Am I the only one who hates this trend? I can’t stand Candace’s bad behavior either. I am really impressed with Monique teaching her son to pee on the toilet at such a young age. She is very hands on as a mother and I love that about her. This show bothers me because everyone is so messy. I am not sure I can watch a full season of Candace.
I too hate that trend. However, I hated it less on Robyn. At least hers didn’t have stupid words on them, and I thought that more thinner ones looked better than the giant word ones. Also, it seems to fit Robyn’s hairstyle.
It’s to hot to sleep so made an Irish coffee and watched the first episode…are the ladies off to Portugal this year?
I forgot all the drama between Monique & Candiace so I will see how that plays out.
I am sure I saw a clip of the Monte Toboggan ride in Madeira which was one of my best experiences ever, plus the food is amazing.
I’m going to pass on being shoved down a steep mountainside in a wicker basket. Thanks but no thanks.
I am interested to see which of the ladies will be getting shoved down that steep mountainside especially if there is additional traffic on those curvy corners…
Why are you awake so early on a Monday? Go to bed!!! We have another fun night of recaps tonight with 90 day fiancé the other way. Kenny and Armando need you refreshed and awake for the recap.
I was up until the wee hours working. Then we had really bad storms rolling in so I drank coffee, the the storms when north and now I’m just sort of a zombie crossed with a two year old who won’t lie down for naptime. 🙁
I’m glad the ladies are back. Candiace is an absolute irritant. How Chris deals with her is a mystery. Robyn, whatever. Once again as is usual on reality tv, the children have more insight on their parent’s dating life than the parents do themselves. I just want Monique to explain her snap back regimen. I don’t know how old her baby is on this episode but she looks great! Three kids and in short shorts while baby is in a stroller. I’ve had no kids and I look like I just delivered.
I’m so happy Potomac is back! This franchise hands down has the most beautiful women (even “hamster face” Candiace.)
As much as I disliked Karen & loved Gizelle in the first season, they switched places. Gizelle is a miserable hater. She seems to want to be the Queen Bee with Robin & Ashley as her minions. She has friction with Monique, Karen and even Candiace because they don’t kiss her ass, but tell her like it is.
I love Monique because she hasn’t forgotten where she came from and seems to be living graciously. She seems like a great mom. Her relationship with Chris is solid & their children are ADORABLE. Gizelle clearly covets Monique’s life and is painfully jealous of her.
I love Karen. She & Ray are HILARIOUS and I’m rooting for them. I can’t say whether or not she has a fake house but she seems to be a good woman and a really good friend.
My dislike for Gizelle seems to grow every season. If Monique said the sky was blue, Gizelle would still disagree with her with a snarky comment. Her jealousy/envy of Monique is sad.
I hope Candiass leaves after this season and not Monique, but since Monique is the classier person I could see her walking away from the pettiness.
I agree with you on everything you said. Especially Monique, I really do not want to see her leave.
I love RHOP. So happy it’s back, but I agree, this was more of a “setting the stage” premiere, but the trailer looks good.
I am a little worried about the possible faking of storylines, but it’s too soon to tell for sure.
It just seems odd, that right out of the gate, Karen is talking about her marital issues and Gizelle is suddenly back together with her cheating ex. (Even her kids didn’t seem to think it’s real and/or a good idea.)
And the Michael Darcy caught with strippers thing, seems a little too forced to prove “hey everyone, I’m not gay” — I hook up with strippers too.
I hope they come across as more legit — solely for my entertainment, lol. But around season 5 or 6, Housewives tend to get really savvy to the game, and the show becomes much less real.
I love this show. Dying to see Monique drag Candiance. Abhor Candiance & how she remains on this show astounds me. She is the worst Bravo has to offer.
I enjoyed the show but I agree with others everything is fake except for Moniques life. Did you see the shade when they showed Giselle’s living quarters, then the girls who didn’t want to speak to dad and they called the relationship fake as well. I wish these women didn’t they have to live above their means to impress us, there is no need for Karen to have a home that large with two people living there. Ashley and her man have a good sized place for the three of them, Robin and Juan programmed the kids to say they need a bigger home for an excuse to move. Karen and her husband are fine she needs drama so play it up for the cameras. I like Monique sometimes but I love her family life. I wonder if Jamal was still preaching in Maryland would Gizelle want to reunite. Candiance and her mom’s issues are tired, Candaice and her fake rich is tired, otherwise the show was great.
Comcast On Demand has episode 2 up, too. I’m not sure how long that will last.
They don’t usually take things down.
So does xfinity
I think all the babies are adorable. Both Monique and Ashley’s babies are mini versions of their husbands. Chase has his Father’s cheeks and they are so cute. Dean is also so very cute. I just hope Ashley is prepared to be a single Mom sooner than later. I don’t see a long happy marriage in the cards for her and I am no psychic.
Gizelle does seem to be faking it with Jamal and I think her daughters are struggling with it because of the out of the mouths of babes reflex that children typically have. Candiace, Chris and her Mother should have their own show called Barely Watchable Nonsense, hopefully it would be canceled very soon so we wouldn’t have to see Candiace and her Mother again. Chris I really like, in fact I wonder if we should mount a rescue for him.
I just watched the second episode all I will say is Candace with an I is a mess.
I am happy the show is back, and I love the group photos, with the purple and lavender.
It’s a refreshing relief to see the Potomac’s back especially after having to endure the exhausting RHOBH and RHONY messiness. I find most of them pretty entertaining except for Candace and Robyn. I have always enjoyed Karen she makes me laugh.
