Y’all! My Internet was down for ALMOST AN HOUR AND I WAS FORCED TO WASH DISHES! Quelle Horreur! In other news, I was not feeling so great last night and fell asleep before ten and got at least twelve hours of sleep and am feel great today! So before The Great Sleep of 2020, I was planning to do a Don’t Be Tardy recap. This show was filmed way back in the summer of 2019 and I had all the tea for the entire trip. Let’s just say everything is not what it seems. Click the link for details. Also, I am not a fan of Kim Biermann, but I am a fan of this show. I like her on the show with her family and Kroy, I just don’t like her social media thirst traps. Or you know, who she really is. lol. I do like Don’t Be Tardy Kim.
It is good to see Tracey again. She cracks me up. She said her cross country car trip was horrible and ruined her relationship. The kids are not excited about this. Ariana was supposed to go to college the following fall, but sadly she didn’t. I hate that for her. She’s the smart one and would have benefited from four years away from all the…fakery. It actually turns into a six week trip. Tracey is explaining that RV catch on fire a lot. ROFLMAO. They are not going on an RV. They are going on a bus like rock bands travel on. Does Kroy know how to drive this thing?
First Stop Nashville!
Oh good! Tracey is going! This just keeps getting better and better! Oh dear lord, they have a Ryder Truck to carry just the clothes and wigs. Am I the only one enjoying this? They are bringing a treadmill ON THE BUS. I can’t stop laughing. Of course they are bringing a nanny named Zulma for this excursion. Apparently, Kory doesn’t need a special license or training to drive this bus. I hope they keep giving us two episodes a week. There is really not point in trying to recap a thirty minute show unless it is a talk show.

Nashville seems VERY crowded. I went there once with my parents growing up and I remember we didn’t stay for long. Not sure what we were doing there. I would always get in trouble for reading books in the car instead of looking out the window. lol. This is making me want to wear cowboy boots. There is a Matthew McConaughey look alike who is probably pushing 50 that Brielle is into so she sends Ariana to retrieve him. The girls are looking everywhere for a man. I can’t really blame them. All the men in Atlanta are gay. That is great news for me at this stage of life, but not so much when you are in your twenties. You kind of need to import. Sadly, “Matthew” is more into into Kim.
Candy Land And Then Off To Ohio!
The first new things for the kids is a big ole southern candy store. Apparently, they have never been to one and they are in heaven. Kroy finds candied crickets and shares them with Tracey. I want some of that fudge. That was the best part of living in Savannah. There were so many candy shops on River Street. And really good bars and restaurants. I had these bourbon scallops there that were so good. So very good. I still think about them many years later. KJ doesn’t want to leave the shop ever. I can’t believe how good I feel today! I’m going to take Banjo for a walk after this.

Tracey has apparently adopted a baby! So she is going to bail after just the first couple of days to get home to her infant son. Awww… Meanwhile, Kim sees a casino and begs to stop. Kim bought hundreds of dollars of scratch offs every gas station they stopped at. Kroy actually stops for 15 minutes. She spent $400 in 22 minutes. And lost. They hit a really bad storm 45 minutes outside of Columbus. They have to pull over due to tornados. So, they slept on RV on the side of the road. Finally, the whole famdamily makes it to lunch with Aunt Laurie and I assume her girlfriend. They seem like salt of the earth type people. Kim chews with her mouth open! I cannot take that! Why do people do that? They find out that Kim’s dad had cancer. We will get the reaction to that news next week. Then we are off to St. Louis!
Who is watching this with me? What did you think?
Me. Me. Me. I watched & enjoyed the show. I wanted one of everything in that candy store. The insane amount of clothes & shoes that packed for this trip was hilarious. Kroy must have the patience of a saint. I don’t understand how they continue to live the expensive life they’re living if they don’t have steady jobs. Did I miss something? I do wish that Arianna had been able to go off to college. Let’s hope she’ll still do that when it’s safe to do so.
They’re in debt up to their eyeballs. They owe AmEx $215K.
Well that explains a lot.
Somewhere in TTs previous recaps, she said they were frantically waiting for their paychecks from this show so I imagine they’ve run through all their money. Their makeup line and bathing suit company are crap from China.
Kim promotes unhealthy body images on her Insta. Her level of photoshop on her photos is insane.
Wonder how much longer they’ll be able to run from the bill collectors.
Yea, Kroy is in the news now for owing again. I really think he loves her, but he needs to reel in the spending.
Arianna is their new cash cow, she’s a pretty girl but they’re already giving her that Kardashian look they prize. It’s really sad. Kim is almost unrecognizable. She should have just left it at one nose job.
There are lots of rumors about Kim pushing her daughters to be “yacht girls” but I just don’t buy it. I don’t believe Kroy would ever let them do anything like that-I don’t think Kim would have that big a problem with it.
They’re all “influencers” whatever the fuck that means. Apparently sponsors pay you a shit ton of money to shill they’re crappy products to “followers” whatever the fuck that means.
Oh, yeah. I didn’t even think about that aspect of it.
Sweet cheeks, you think they do the show for free? Purchase a clue.
I realize they get paid to do the show, but they haven’t worked for a long time and their overhead is very high. Maybe they can purchase a clue for me.
And they had to wait AWHILE for those checks for this season.
Nope actually they were paid along the way. Kim begged for a check, and got one in Vegas and gambled most of it away immediately.
Oh my! That well is going to run dry in the not too distant future if Kim doesn’t get her gambling & shopping under control.
Oh no!!! I thought they had to wait. I do not see how they stay afloat. The wigs & clothes alone that she buys would feed a small country.
No, they are paid throughout filming. After the first episode is accepted and then every three or four episodes. By the time this season was completed they were all completely paid well before Bravo finally decided to air the show.
That means they haven’t gotten a check IN A LONG TIME recently.
I repeat from a post above… Social media “influencers” easily earn hundreds of thousands/millions of dollars a year by shilling questionable products to their “followers”. It’s one of the most fucked up things to happen in the past 8 years… other than Trump. ?
I am not a Kim fan, but I did watch Mrs. Damn, Mr. Damn & the whole Damn bunch. I love love love Tracey. She’s what makes the show. It did all seem really fake. It’s so over the top. The box truck with 40 outfits/person/day. Has she ever used a washing machine??? We already know they slept in motels & went over their budget (thank you TT) so it all seemed really overproduced…the talk about them all sleeping in the RV, Tracey cooking their breakfast, etc. I don’t think anyone would buy Kim sleeping, living solely in that RV for 5 or 6 weeks w/6 kids, hubby, Tracey & Nanny.
She & Brielle were on Wendy yesterday. Wendy asked how she & Kroy managed to have sex on the RV w/the whole damn bunch aboard. Kim gave a BS answer . This show is mindless entertainment that I don’t usually watch but kind of need right now w/all the depressing political & Covid news daily.
Love the recap!!!
Didn’t Kim used to live in a trailer house? Or did Nene call her trailer trash? I forget. Anyways I hate fake people who forget where they came from like how she is bitching about driving around in a $2 million dollar motor coach. Seeing Tracey was really great and she looks really happy.
SO happy you slept TT & you feel good today! I need to get out & take a walk also. It would do me some good! I watched last night. I find myself staring at Kim-it’s as though she’s a science experiment. She’s also only 41! When I was younger, women did plastic surgery when they were 50 & older. How many procedures can your body handle? Everyone is starting so young now. Brielle seems to be Kim 2.0 & if Ariana could go to college it might give her a chance at a somewhat normal life. Kroy is now the manager for all of them.He’s also in charge of all the wigs & does Kim’s nails. Is that odd to anyone else or just me ? It all feels so shallow. What happens when they age out & can’t do the Instagram thing anymore? The kids I’m sure are making money this way also. I feel like this won’t end well. I hope I’m wrong. I watched Kim on Wendy also-I’m concerned-Wendy seemed really odd on that episode. I really just wanted to post & tell you it made me happy to hear you felt good. A good day for me these days is everything?
They are nothing but a bunch of freeloading grifters. They tried to sell their cheap Chinese sKAB crap on HSN with mute Brielle and sold less than 140 kits. Mama Kim owes Amex 215k, now Daddy Kroy owes ex agent 22k. I guess influencing FabShitFun or SmileScience whitener or the other nasty products isnt a lucrative business. Maybe they should go out and get real jobs. Brielle says she doesn’t need college because she already has a career as part Owner of sKAB yet she couldn’t be. Others to take the required course to be able to speak in HSN do why was she even there?
I get it. Kim sort of annoys me on IG. However, I love their family. I’m going to pretend it’s all real. I love all the kids.
I watched it last night. I was like oh this is the Simple Road Trip but where is Nicole and Paris? oh you mean Kim, Brielle and Ariana fighting over who gets to be Paris. I was gonna hate on this season of the show but right after watching this I ended up watching the first three episodes of the new season of KUWTK and I juuuuust like found so many other things to be unhappy about. *Kourtney K voice*
This is tacky, but I’m so curious what their means of income might be.
Yay for sleep, TT! I need to DVR this because I’m so done with the onslaught of bad bad news, locally and nationally. The Bierman’s are just what I need in my life. Thank you for this post because I totally forgot about this show.
I do need a good nights sleep, so jelly. I am overwhelmed with work and life shit, I burst into tears today because the news was on for too long. There is just a lot going on. This was a welcome change though. That family is great, despite my disappointment in Ariana. The kids are so cute, I have to check out what they look like now. I dont blame them for sleeping outside the bus. Even a huge bus like that does not have room for 10 people to sleep. I would love to drive cross country in a bus or camper though, just hanging and living in the back, watching the country go by…without the screaming kids though.
Tracey IS the show! She is spontaneous and funny as hell! The Jeff Ruby’s restaurant where they met with the Aunt and her wife is in Columbus, Ohio, I am familiar with this,,,bought a Christmas gift card for family. It is HELLA expensive! Especially by Ohio standards! Crazy place to even think about having lunch! Must be nice! I really can’t imagine what the hell this family spends each week in a basic grocery run. Plus Kim’s gambling, wine, etc,
I had such high hopes for Ariana, but alas she has become a mini Brielle, ho is just a mini Kim. Hopefully Kaya can fare better when she grows up
I just don’t enjoy watching this clan at all. And when Kim and Kroy appear together – post interviews… I cringe. I can’t with all the fillers and makeup on BOTH of them!
Yeah, I get it. I just sort of suspend disbelief in order to enjoy the sheer stupidity of it all. I definitely agree with you though.
It must annoy NeNe like a cheese grater on her ass that Kim has her own show. I’ll say one thing for Kim, she was smart enough not to burn that bridge with Bravo. at least she has somewhat of a paycheck coming in.to keep her head above water.
Yes and it has been in the can for almost a year. CONVIENTLY, it gets an airdate around the time Nene is having her public hissy fit. And I am not sure Nene knows this, but Kim gets paid the same HUGE pay rate that Nene does. They both have/had the same entertainment lawyer and got the exact same deal for both of them.
#BONUSEXCLUSIVETEA
And THIS is just one reason why we all love you so much! You always get the best info.
Bravo is scraping the barrel to air “new” shows because of COVID as well as all other networks. How else do you explain the return of shows like Cash Cab and Weakest Link. They been ‘In the can’ for years.
I WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY BLASPHEMY OF THE WEAKEST LINK! lol. I love that show.
Used to like Kim on Tardy but then she turned into a platypus. What does she see when she looks in the mirror? She’s disfigured and her daughters are getting there as well. I can’t watch look at her anymore
Is it yoke or yolk ?
