Please for the love of God tell me this episode is not two fucking hours long. I just did a two hour recap of 90 Day The Other way! Is this the finale? Sigh. It looks like I will be slogging through this RHOP Recap with limited comments. I hope to hell they added on WWHL and that stupid chat show because I do not need two hours of this. It looks like I missed an episode. I don’t remember Wendy wanting to stop teaching, or Monique having a podcast. Then again, I can’t remember anything. And that seemed like a season recap. So maybe I did see it.
Engagement Ring Shopping & Marital Counseling
Gizelle and Juan go shopping for Robyn’s engagement ring. I love how they act like $10K is a cheap ring at these jewelry stores. I have an expensive bracelet that I wear all the time and when I travel, it goes in the safety deposit back. No one should be wandering around with fifty thousand dollar diamond on their finger. Just as Kim Kardashian. Especially not someone who owes the IRS nearly $100k in back taxes.

Meanwhile, Karen and Juan take the boys bowling. Robyn’s parents show up for the family event. Robyn wants to tell them about her issues with the IRS. But they already found out on social media. Her dad wonders how the hell she thinks she is going to buy a house with amount of debt. Good question. While Robyn is in the bowling alley bathroom, he figures this is a good time to ask her parents permission. Really? He could not have dropped by the house? They seem fine with that.
Monique’s Podcast
Monique is inviting the crew to her podcast. If they all come I guess it will be the finale party. Karen and Ray get some life coaching. I don’t find this authentic at all. Wendy is having a wine gathering and everyone is invited except Monique. Then we hear Candiace claiming that the reason Twitter was so happy to hear that she got walloped was because Monique gave them…er us…some crazy version of what happened. No, bitch. You have been a verbal and physical bully since your reckless ass got on the show. It was only a matter of time until someone gave you the beatdown. Candiace tells Wendy she is going t pull Karen aside and confront her at Wendy’s event.

I’m not really clear what this podcast is all about. Is she the one with the parenting thing? Yes it the the lazy moms thing. Ashley shows up to support Monique but she is probably the only one coming. Even Karen backed out. Monique is claiming she has changed. She hasn’t. She is just starting to have remorse. Ashley lets Monique know that Karen told Candiace that she should press charges.
Wine With Wendy
Wendy just annoys the fuck out of me. I get a bad vibe from her. She hasn’t done anything in particular. I just feel like something is up with her. She is suddenly not wanting to teach anymore when that was all she talked about? I think she must have been fired. Robyn shows up in a bad wig. Candiace jokes that she is hiding from the tax man. I don’t hate it as much as the other ladies do. Candiace is trashing her despite the fact that Robyn has been defending her ass all season. I could get used to this Robyn wig.

Does Wendy not know the difference between meditation and mediation? She doesn’t seem that smart. But she was smart enough to impress the RHOP so the bar is low. Gizelle tells everyone that Wendy told her that when she was somewhere with Karen she got really drunk and told her that she put up half of her money to save Ray from the IRS. Of course Gizelle thinks this is scandalous. But, isn’t that what married couples do? That is why it is a marriage. Also what is going on with Wendy’s edges. I mean what is that???!!!

Meanwhile Karen talks to Candiace who tells her she is in therapy from the trauma. Girl you got your ass beat. Pull your big girl panties up, put your earrings back in your ears and keep it moving. Candiace is coming for Karen for not taking sides. Karen gives a really good lecture about how she stood up for her the previous season even though she was in the wrong. She is doing no more and no less for her other friend. Wow. That is the most sense I’ve ever seen Karen make! Meanwhile, Ashley says that she wants to be ther for Monique because she didn’t implicate Michael in the butt grab. The other girls took it as so she didn’t lie on Michael. No ladies. By now we have all seen the footage of Michael smacking the producers ass when he walked by.
I hope Wendy is a one and done. I’m starting to be a Karen fan. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. Oh Lord. I forgot about Portugal. I guess that will be fun. And Monique presses charges on Candiace.
Thank you for the recap. I’m watching, but for some reason I’m so distracted tonight that none of it is sticking with me.
I had the same issue. I just kind of wanted it to end. Plus I was pissy because Bravo put two hours of shit on the recording.
I loved Karen tonight when she told Candiace “your mind is powerful but so is your mouth.” Candiace’s F’d up mouth finally got her what she deserved. Plus, it wasn’t just her mouth, she did grab Monique by the vest before Monique drug her that night. I’m getting tired of this BS from the majority of the cast saying Monique hasn’t changed, hasn’t been remorseful, etc. Candiace is not innocent. She’s a loud mouth, she gets in people’s faces, in their space. She pulled the knife last season…yea, I know it was a butter knife, but she’s really lucky she hasn’t been hurt before now. Oh and Candiace’s bullshit w/blaming Monique for Twitter???? LMAO Bitch, people came for you on Twitter because they have seen your ass on their TV’s and the way you attack people on social media.. Yea Candiace, we see YOU!
As far as Wendy, hiring her was a total clusterfuck. There’s nothing real or entertaining about her. I hope this is her one and only season.
Good summation and it’s pretty much what I think at this time.
Candiace trying to convince Karen to come to her side by saying we’ve all seen Monique’s tendencies toward violence. Oh, really, Butterknife?
I totally agree. I’m tired of her talking about all her degrees and the bitch is stupid when it comes to common sense. She needs to go back where she came for. I don’t know who put her on there. I hope this is her one and only year. She is as boring as hell. “By Bitch”
I couldn’t agree with you more! I thought I was one of the few Wendy rubbed the wrong way. It seems like production is messing around here. They brought on Wendy to mess with Karen and then tried to orchestrate the take down of Monique. Bravo needs to leave the shows alone they are messing them up. I have nothing good to say about Gizelle.
Yeah, I was withholding judgement on Wendy for a few episodes — but she just seems kind of sanctimonious and preachy. Maybe we need to see the lighter side? But it doesn’t seem like she has one. Even her baby event seemed very serious.
And on top of it all, her confessional looks are not great, and her reads are just okay.
Karen was very impressive last night by telling Candiace the truth and refusing to intimidated. She has become my favorite housewife. I am not impressed by any woman who says they wish to empower women and then seeks to exclude people from the gathering.Did Wendy take accountability for yelling at Ashley during the retreat at Monique’s house?
Welcome to the Karen side TT lol Karen is my all time favourite housewife I love her good and bad and it’s great to see an older lady coming into her own after years of looking after the home and husband, kids. And yes one of my favourite scenes was of Karen and her run away wig from last season ? Can’t remember but I just love her !
Also, I now realize Karen’s perfume is a real thing! She is/was on HLN hawking it recently/soon. I never thought it would get off the ground.
But who buys perfume they can’t smell? I have been wearing Estee Lauder Youth Dew since I was old enough to wear perfume. My grandmother wore it, my mother wore it and I wear it. I’ve had other fragrances I went through a Shalimar phase (also old lady perfume that I wore very young). I may order Shalimar next.
Try Bombshell by Victoria Secret.
I’m a sparkling white diamond wearer myself, my grandmother wore the original. I also get an off feeling from Wendy I’m not sure what it is about her, but I’m sure Bravo is going to shove her down our throat, like with Brown Wind from RHOC.
Balenciaga Paris you will love it ! My signature scent. Light crisp clean violet lemon patchouli. I smell like a garden of earthy delights! I always loved Karen yes she puts on airs is unreasonable af but I love that she cops to working a drive thru fast food window as a child & all the messy mess Giselle & Robyn caused ( & still continue to do ) yet takes it with aplomb. The black Bill Gates is a handful of snark and she still is a lady throughout. I admire her fortitude. She’s strong. Watching her breakdown ( twice ) over her parents deaths really fortified my high opinion of her. The other trolls best watch out for Miss Karen. She is not having it & I love her for it ! Tough yet still quite feminine & able to move on from the utter lack of respect she endures from broke ass Robyn & dehydrated Giselle.
I wore Jadore by Christian Dior and Pleasure by Estée Lauder for years ..
I ran out of both last November so I sprayed on a perfume by Brittany Spears that my 14 year old niece gave me as a gift.
I’ve gotten more compliments on the cheap Brittany spears scent than I’ve ever received in my life !!
It’s light and really nice, it’s called Curious and worth a try if you feel like trying new scent.
Thank you for the recaps and the Married to Medicine LA recommendation I binged watched it 2 weeks ago. Loved it and Kendra is great addition. Mack is soooo handsome. Best looking husband of all reality shows
I agree with liking Karen in this episode (maybe even *gasp* season!). She is correct that she stood by Candiance last year while she was being an a-hole to everyone. Being a friend is supporting someone publicly but telling them they effed up privately.
I don’t expect anything better from Gizelle or Robyn. They are the epitome of envy and hate -not just for Monique, but anyone who has an ounce of joy in their life. And Robyn really is a dullard. She can’t even manage a cash app account let alone that terrible baseball cap business. SBA don’t lend/give her any money – please. She’ll invest it in magic beans.
Wendy is acting as if Monique did something to her personally. Does holding someone accountable mean you are to punish them like a child and ostracize them? Her demands of Karen were ridiculous. Does she want Karen to flog Monique? I don’t know who she thinks she is but she better tend to those painted on edges and bad wigs, STAT. She’s not winning points for likeability and has wasted her first season magic. Her storyline of I’m so educated and accomplished comes across as arrogant. Now she doesn’t want to teach? Naw sis, you just realized you not getting tenure. She hasn’t published in three years so save the “I’m an academic” for someone else. I hope she doesn’t come back.
This is really Karen’s season. She gathered Candiance and Wendy all the way up with logic and stood her ground. I don’t know if her marriage storyline is real but Ray nauseates me.
Strangely, I don’t see Robin has hateful or envious. I guess I see her as too dim to go that far? She is probably the only HW I can say that about. I don’t think she has many deep thoughts, which makes me think she is just following Gizelle.
I agree with everything else you said. Maybe I am just giving Robin an unearned dunce pass?
Actually I agree w you. Let’s give Robyn the dunce pass! Gizelle has to tell her what to do and feel.
Candiace got some of what she deserved, Monique only touched her up a bit but should have danced a jig on her behind ,now as far as Gizelle is concerned talking about image ,which one the desperate seeking splice or trying to spread em wide for the head whoremonger ( one of Georgia’s infamous baby daddies dropping babies everywhere like a mangy dog having puppies and probably disease too ) oh and Karen trying to make everyone think she’s swinging from the chandelier popping pussy like tic-tacs when Ray won’t even take ownership in the light of day and Robyn ain’t even in the game cause everyone knows Juan has said it loud an clear ( he’s in for his sons and probably that stipend from Robyn’scontract) because it’s for damn sure not love and Ashley’s probably the most honest because whatever it is that’s what it is and Monique the next time you have a moment of clarity and you tap that trick’s ass ( Candiace)step in close cause I got your back ,TRUST !!
Andy Cohen is Sooo Shady! After last night’s RHOP, Gizzelle Bryant and Ashley Darby were the guests on WWHL. One of Andy’s filler segments lately has been “ This Day in Bravo history 10 years ago”, and last night he decided to show Phaedra Parks baby shower….really Andy? We see you!!! Everybody knows that Phaedra’s “Mr Chocolate” was Gizelle’s x husband and also now current love interest Jamal Bryant. Andy has no shame.
Karen won me over last year when she defended Katie when Ashley came for her on their trip. It was obvious Katie needed an intervention or a friend & Karen was there for her.
I fast forward through Robin’s scenes. And I can’t stand Wendy.
I’m team Karen, Ashley & Monique.
That totally makes sense about Ashley being afraid of Monique. I’m sure M has that camera footage handy for a scenario like this…or, Ashley thinks she might. It never seemed believable that her surveillance cameras were off.
I never liked or respected Karen more than last night when she was talking to the petulant child Candace. She showed so much class and maturity. I have not always felt this way about Karen.
I am 100% team Monique. Here is what I base it on: who would you rather be friends with or even hang out for an hour? Monique is a fun lady and would be a good friend. I can’t say the same for Candace.
Thank you for asking the question I have been wondering about Wendy: what is her deal? I want to like her so, so much but something is off. I keep hoping something will switch.
Wendys relatives are reporting that her and her husband have 1.5 million in student loan debt. That explains why she is jelly of Monique and Ashley, with her 4 degrees and such.
Thanks for sharing. That is a lot! My husband is a physician who went to private school for under grad and medical but he never not that type of debt! The payment has to be $8000+ a month. She needs to keep hustling.
Yeah, I don’t believe that figure. I am sure she has a lot of debt but not that much. How would she even be able to buy a house with that debt load? Even typing the word “debt” makes me nervous. I’ve been debt free since forever. I have Bag Lady Complex. And have no one to rely on but myself so I try to be frugal on all things other than travel. And someone special in my life has taught me to be charitable and that has really enriched my life.
If you are feeling down… a simple random act of kindness can really lift your spirits. And multiply your blessings. I’m just saying.
Candice and her trauma I just think is a bit of bullshit. She’s probably been in worse fights with her mom.
I just think the trauma is not proportional to the event.
Sounds cold but I try and don’t see it.
Gizelle really seems like she is checked out or something. Very odd season.
Juan and Robyn are basically the main storyline, yuck. It is a bunch of boring, so I wonder why I am enjoying it, lol.
Being a mother looks soooo goood on ashley. And I can’t believe it but I decently enjoyed Giselle today. Has he’ll frozen over? Jamal is a snake. Everything he says sounds like he’s figured out to optimal thing to say that gives him control while being perceived as being the support system. I would not want to be alone in a room with him.
That was the point that I really began to like Karen too. I loved how she stood up for Katie even going to check up on her in the hotel.
What reason would Wendy have to be jealous of Monique? Monique is an uneducated Jersey rat that married well…by waiting Mr. Chris Samuels out. She wasn’t going to let her golden goose get away. Why would she be jealous of Ashley? Ashley is yet another gold digger that was waitressing until she met her golden goose and they agreed to be each other’s beards. Ashley can’t even afford to live in Potomac. She lives in Arlington, VA. Karen isn’t so real…she made up a huge lie about why they moved to Great Falls, VA..Where she had staged furniture (like Charisse accused her of) only to turn around and move back to Potomac (once again with different furniture). That Not For Lazy Moms is a venture of Monique that’ isn’t going anywhere. The concept is not original and the execution is poor. It’s glaring that she isn’t a businessman. I guess she counts helping to manage the properties that Chris bought as a viable business.
Oh, and before anyone say that I am jealous or a hater, no I am not. I am educated, successful,and well off, and it’s not from gold digging.
Wendy is jealous because although she might be educated she will never be as likable as Ashley and Monique. You can learn a great personality.
