Sorry you guys. It’s been the weirdest day. I did the 90 Day recap and totally forgot about this. I didn’t have TV or Internet for most of the day today so I was anxious to just watch some fun, light shows and then I remembered! So. let’s knock out a RHOP Recap! And then, I can watch TV. lol.
Candyass Can Sing (Did I spell that right? 🙂 )
I really hate these women. There I said it. And when Karen is my favorite housewife? We have a problem. Also, if you need a new reason to hate me, I am starting to like the wearing 45 barrettes thing at once thing. I know. I feel bad about myself as well. But it’s growing on me. Candiace does see to have a voice, kind of. Why does she keep getting scenes about her singing. She’s a thug in a knockoff cocktail dress. Now she is on someone’s label. Gizzy goes to lunch with Robyn and Karen and. Gizz wants to trash talk Karen again.

I would put that jelly jar in my purse. I’m just saying. I leave every meal with a doggie bag. SHUT UP! They are just going to throw it away! Karen brings up Robyns huge IRS debt. I don’t know about the rest of you but I wish the IRS would just take what they and leave me the fuck alone because I am not going to jail for tax evasion. In fact I am over paying because I made more last year than I am making this year and I MIGHT actually get a refund for once! I wish we could all go to high tea. Gizz brings up Wendy saying that Karen bailed out Ray for his financial problems. Karen makes it clear she doesn’t like Wendy.
I Hate Wendy!
And I do not care about her scenes. Ashley goes to therapy about Michael. Basically she is depressed after having the baby. Wait for 2020 girl. It gets worse. Ashley is basically the only person on this show I still like. But next, Monique who I also like goes to file a countersuit against Candyass. (did I spell that right?) . I wish Candiace would have gone to jail.

Robyn continues to show the IRS that she is making money flipping houses. Oh wait! This is Gizzelle home makeover. Is this going to be a party? Ashley’s kid looks just like Michael, but in a cute way. Ashley is tasked with inviting the girls on the group trip to Portugal. Gizzelle say she is not going if Monique goes and no one else will either. Everyone goes to see Robyn’s oddball ball cap business (something I have been looking into actually for a while). But no one has ever heard about this business of Robyn’s and probably not even the IRS. Obviously.
Did I Mention I Hate Wendy?
Of course Robyn is stirring the pot with Wendy and Karen. I can’t believe I am saying this but I am Team Karen on this one! Was that really Katie? I can’t keep these people straight. I think Katie lives in California now. Anyway, Ashley is tasked with announcing the Portugal trip. I must be honest, I am fairly well traveled and I didn’t recognize the Portugal flag. Which only means I need to go there! Probably again. My mother dragged me and daddy all over Europe but we literally just went everywhere for a day, MAYBE two and then when to another and another and another because each time she though we would go home at the end of the year.

So there you have it. Monique isn’t filming and Wendy and Monique hate each other. I have multiple degrees and an even more difficult national teaching certification. This is not necessary to shout out at a girl’s night out. I’m more likely to do a face plant than bring up my education. Get her Karen.
Then we find out Monique presses charges against Candiace. YAY! Get her Monique! Chris is just glad that Candiace is going out of town for a few days. I feel you man.
I don’t like Wendy either, to much about ger degrees. Yeah we know you’re highly educated but apparently just stupud because you’re on this show.
Loving Karen this season which is odd but she seems logical. Team Monique all day. I change the channel when Candace is on because she is ridiculous.
What you said! I loathe Wendy, Gizzard and Robinstud. I wish they would vanish NEVER to return, well, maybe not Gizzard. I long to see her demise with her dirty a&&.
Hey girl HEY!
Me too, I can’t stand Candy or Robin both these women are boring and fake. Neither of them bring any value. Robin is a follower and Wendy my God over educated with no common sense.
Them four ladies are Mean Girls and I’m sick and tired of Bravo using this one fight as the whole story line for the season the 4 main ladies was always jealous of Monique
I am so effing confused about his show. I like Karen the last two episodes, oh gawd say it ain’t so, but it is. I have NEVER liked her on this show until last week, and this one as well. And the thing is I’m fairly certain she’s going to make me dislike her again, but for today, and for last week I sing the song of Karen. I loved the way she’s corrected Wendy both weeks. I don’t get why they’re promoting her fake marital troubles over this.
Will someone please take Wendy off my screen, thanks in advance. Also Candiace while you’re at it.
And speaking of Candiace while she’s singing the notes, you know, la la la la la la la, and then dude interrupts to improve her, he sounds so much better, but the entire time while she was singing the scale I kept singing in my head, no no no no no no no! Petty; maybe. The other thing that struck me about Ms. Clueless is how during the picture taking during the hat wearing her’s were the worst pictures. If beauty is your thing and you’re outclassed by everyone around you what do you have left? Just a thought. All of the ladies had good pics, but for her, and as a beauty queen you would think she would have done better. Much better. It’s almost like her personality came through there.
Also I need someone to get me that hat Robyn had on. Love that.
DITTO !!! On each of your words and thoughts.
I have hope for Karen , didn’t use to be a fan..I think she’s changed since her parents deaths. Enjoying her, Monique and Ashley. The others are just mean and uninteresting!
I agree, I don’t like Wendy. I love what she stands for, educated career focused woman with an absolutely beautiful family, I just find her very rude. Unless she plucks some drama out of her own life I don’t think she will do two seasons of this show. I follow Katie on social media and she’s moved back to NYC, and she’s been posting photos with her kids which is good, before their dad wouldn’t even let her have visitation. I love Portugal, Lisbon, Cintra, Faro, in particular, I’m very fortunate to live in London so I can get flights to Portugal for less than £50. I hope they actually show the city and the sights on this fast trip and we Don’t just get scenes of the ladies arguing in hotel rooms/restaurants.
Ah London. Where a flight to Portugal is fifty quid but a taxi to zone 3 is eighty. 😂😂😂
So the entire season is Ashley nursing and going to see her therapist? That’s her story line?
I dislike all of these people and dislike that they’ve created a pop culture excuse to legitimize calling black women “thugs” this year.
Agree.
I thought it is only in the field of education that people with PhDs are referred to as doctor. I know no one in casual circles referring to themselves or other PhDs as doctor. To do so, IMHO is pretentious. As is Wendy. Wendy seems desperate and thirsty — if she’s so successful, why does she seem to try so hard to keep this job? And why does she feel the need to rub her education in the faces of her co-workers on the show?
I don’t like her trying to bully everyone into behaving the way she wants and applaud Karen for slapping her down.
Exactly. Dr Wendy is her professional title not her personal one. PhDs only use Dr for professional reasons. Medical Drs are different because they can potentially save a life at any moment. BIG difference, Wendy.
Agree with you. What’s crazy about Wendy is she is all over blogs saying Karen bullies her all season long. I’m loving Karen this season and even Ashley they are really being open and authentic imo
People with PhDs have earned their doctorates. In every field, they are referred to as doctors. It’s not a medical degree, and they are not medical doctors, but they are doctors none the less… In any field that offers one. Yes, it is pretentious to keep bringing it up and she looks like a fool, but I don’t think we need to devalue the degree because of the way she’s acting. PhDs often go to school for just as long as medical doctors, just not in the field of medicine (but sometimes adjacent – biology, neurobiology, chemistry, psychology, physics – shout out to Dr. Sheldon Cooper, Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler, etc!)
*I work in academia, so I work with a lot of PhDs from lots of different fields.
I understand all the very long work (and crazy pants major professors) that graduate degrees take. And in academia, we do use the honorific more than most. I have no problem with Wendy wanting to have that work acknowledged. And hats off to her because it is very hard to achieve. But demanding her castmates call her Dr. Wendy is utterly ridiculous.
Exactly, TT. Only in education/academia or some other professional situation where it is important. She must want to be the next Doctor Phil. And she even was touting her lawyer husband’s juris doctorate. I am a lawyer and have one too. No lawyer i have ever met mentions their juris doctorate. And almost every woman lawyer I know has stories about e.g., taking the bar exam while hugely pregnant (me), having their first trial while hugely pregnant (me), being in law school/exams when a family tragedy like death occurred. Life goes on while you are in school and if you are to succeed, you roll with it.
I think she has a giant chip on her shoulder because of her poor background — I read her DH’s family objected to the marriage because they thought her family was beneath theirs in Africa, where it is apparently important. (Don’t get me wrong — I applaud anyone’s academic success).
👏. Thats like calling lawyers by their Esquire title at a playgroup. Its pretentious and the degree are Wendys persona.
I cannot take Candace with the victim s… and crocodile tears. You want to talk smack so take the heat that comes with the fire. Thank you Karen and Ashley for sticking by Monique. The rest of you hypocrites did nothing when Candace came for Ashley with the knife. Y’all really didn’t like Monique anyway especially Gizz. If you want to be judgmental start with your own house. Candace is not a good fit for the show she is too immature with too many mommy issues. Her mother would probably be a better fit. I can’t stand Wendy. Successful people who are confident don’t brow beat you with their degrees or accomplishments. She acts like she thinks she’s the Queen Bee of the show already. So while they all trying to ostracize Monique, take a long look in the mirror at their own cracks. It was well past time for Candace to get checked. Words have consequences and she got hers. She was always disrespectful and talked sideways to her mom and thinks she can talk to everyone that way. Reality Check Boo, ya can’t. I’m done watching this season cause I can’t take her victim s… any more.
Word.
They all have talked smack, looking back at previous seasons. All of them are a trip! Candace already had the knife in her hand when going off at Ashley last season. Monique has a pick with Candace, and I think it’s just because she really doesn’t like her, and it’s more than Charesse’s (Sp?) gossip. I get it picking sides, but just stop the amnesia when it comes to your favorites. Ashley has no storyline! I like her, but if you’re going to forgive someone mean it! Monique spoke about making Candace a loner at Ashley’s sip and see. We all must be careful with what rolls off our tongue.
I’ve been a fan of RHOP since season 1 came out. I just wish they all would just get along.
I dislike Monique, at this point. She attacked Candiace, no legitimate charges against her. Not everyone is used to actually physically fighting and calling the police is appropriate.
Gizelle’s part on the show is the narrator of nonsense and confusion. Otherwise, no normal friend group would tell her a dam thing. If Gizelle hear it, she’s going to tell it.
Wendy’s persona is educated black woman. I like her, those adorable kids and her handsome husband. It was mean of her to bring up Karen’s lack of continued education past high school.
I understand Ashley’s continued friendship with Monique. I just don’t think she should bring her around the other women. As I said, its not acceptable in certain circles to physically attack someone. Monique would do better in Atlanta or Love and Hip Hop. She is uncouth, despite Chris’ money.
Karen and the conga line of slithering Wendy’s was hilarious.
Don’t like Candace, never have. Look back at her over the series, yelling in peoples faces to get her point over. Maybe Ashley should have charged Candiace with attempted murder after throwing a knife at her. She started a fight with Monique at the barn while she was pregnant. She’s the female version of having a Napoleon complex, short and obnoxious. Robyn’s story line is weak at best, she’d better stay stuck on to Gizzelle. Oh Gizzelle, mouth all mighty, tongue ever lasting, a bigger pot stirrer that Campbell Soup. I think she constantly stick a knife in other people to keep the focus off of her (like president #45). Ashley, your replacement daddy is not Michael. Karen, beauty and grace personified, but like her husband was trying to say, keep it real boo. Anyway, I stopped breaking my neck to watch that show on Sunday’s a long time ago. Glorified Trash.
Candice mouth is flip, she keeps going snf going even her husband has told her to shut up!!! Sometimes you get what you get. Monique is right to file a countersuit!! Gizelle is shady as hell. She is the instigator of 99% of the mess. She is trying to get back with her whoring husband…not, he is having a good time in. Atlanta!! Robin is scatter brained….Wendy is oh this and oh that. Karen is real!!
Ms married to the old man is a true gold digger….aint mad at her at all!! Just say what it is….29 yr age difference, he’s a Sugar Daddy and bisexual!!!
I read that Candaice refused to mediate with Monique”s lawyer and demanded a huge payment, so Monique filed against her.
Unless she’s filming with her cute kids, the other ladies or it’s about her husband’s alienation from his family, I fast forward through Wendy’s scenes.
Thanks to all of you that pointed out her hairline. I kept staring at her forehead wondering if the hair was painted on. Speaking if looks, she looks like a different person in her confession look.
I hate Cardiace and apparently so does everyone else. Unless she’s in a group scene, none of the other ladies film with her. I might be imagining it but Chris seems to be losing his patience with her.
I want to see more Monique. Even while she’s being iced out, she’s way more interesting than the green eyed bandits.
I love Ashley’s transformation from messy to likeable. I wish this show featured Monique, Karen, Ashley & Katie. Everyone else can kick rocks.
I so much agree
Karen.karen all day!! She is genuine since day 1.she keeps it classy interesting..thats my gal..the rest need to fall behind because Karen been through SOME things..giselle is struggle n that husband reminds me of towanda on braxton x hubby..monique is learning but she is sweet n real..ashley trying..robin has decided to live her best life..that least is candiance she is a hot lost mess.
Dr Wendy having a PhD and being a non- tenured professor at a university = low pay and tons of student loans. She needs the extra income this show provides.
If you can’t save my life on an airplane, don’t call yourself “Dr” outside of your workplace. I have a doctorate in my field and no one knows (or cares) other than my family, employer and my colleagues.
Maybe she’s trying to build her “brand” by
forcing drama with the ladies. She comes off as fake, pretentious. Her family seems interesting, she should try to film with them more. Maybe she would be more likable.
Karen, Monique, Ashley= yes.
Robin, Gizelle, Candiss= no.
Thank you for the recaps.
@ Rmicu – Thank you! Wendy’s discipline is education which typically doesn’t earn very much in academia, especially without tenure. Her sad list of publications and no external research funding leads me to believe her chances for tenure are slight. For a woman who prides herself on her 4 degrees while belittling others, she sure does very little to add to the research enterprise. Perhaps being on TV keeps her employed.
I feel so petty pointing this out but her arrogance and attitude brings it out in me. You don’t have to make others feel small so you can look better. I’m glad Karen wore her ass out. I hope she does it again.
I have a few degrees and nobody gives a f*ck except for me, lol. I’d rather sip wine or chug vodka with my friends than beat them over the head with my credentials.
My mother always said a person leads with what is most important to them. Wendy leads with education because it has been her entire life. She needs to branch out, relax and realize intelligence can whisper, and usually with better diction.
I think she leads with it because that was the basis of her plan to put down the other women.
Same, girl, same. Please pass a cranberry juice and vodka, thank you.
I’ve never been a big fan of RHOP, but this year Karen is growing on me. Karen giving it back to Candiance was everything!
And, I’ve started fast-forwarding through all of the Candiance-only & Robyn-only scenes. Makes for a good show!
And Lord, please give Gizelle the wisdom to hire an interior decorator. Amen.
I agree w/you on Karen. I was not really a Karen fan the first couple of seasons, but compared to Candiace, Wendy, Gizelle & Robin, she’s the cream of the crop. I cannot stand Wendy. Who interviewed this obnoxious bitch for the show and thought anyone would want to watch her?????
I disagree on the barrettes, still not a fan.
I am not liking this season. I can’t stand Candiace, don’t even enjoy watching to hate her, like when people claim you need a villain in shoes. She’s annoying AF. I don’t want to watch her scenes or hear her sing. I do like the scenes when her husband tries to shut her up. I can’t see this marriage lasting.
I usually like the cast trips but I’m over the cast shunning Monique (minus Ashley & Karen). I’m still team Monique. Even a sane person can be pushed so far. Candiace gets in people’s faces, in their space. Her own mama hit her. Her husband has to reel her in on a regular basis. She grabbed Monique by the vest that night like she was about to bring it. I do not agree with this Candiace is a victim narrative.
* shows not shoes (dammit)
Totally agree. Where was the group when Candace was throwing knives. Where is the I can’t be around that type of behavior. Not only were they still there they kept eating. Double standards. They continue to let Candance write checks with that mouth that her ASS can’t cash. Even last nights episode she kept talking smack. She keeps pushing.
I love this saying: Candance write checks with that mouth that her ASS can’t cash.
I watched RHOP in about 20 minutes last night bc I fast forwarded through Candy ass’ and Wendy’s scenes. Wendy just isn’t likeable – even with her kids. Candiance needs to let the hoodrat name calling go. We already see the type of person she is. What makes her feel she’s above anyone? What is her personal claim to fame? A pageant? wasn’t she selling hair? Nothing else is uniquely hers. She didn’t even land a rich husband. At least Wendy and those edges have that PhD she keeps reminding us about, lol.
Monique made a mistake but she’s not a horrible person like Gizelle and Candiance or incredibly annoying like Robyn and Wendy. I’m loving Karen this season. She’s come into her own. Her storyline w her husband seems fabricated but otherwise she’s my favorite right now. Ashley is in mom mode and doesn’t have too much time to be that messy. She’s got her hands full with her baby and that husband.
Best description ever: Candiace is a thug in a knockoff cocktail dress.
Karen is growing on me. I never cared for her until this season.
That is all…
on the RHONYC, what was the name of the fashionista who called another cast member “a thug in a cocktail dress” and what was the alleged thug’s name?
Alex called LuAnn a thug in a cocktail dress.
I checked out Wendy’s profile at Johns Hopkins: she is hot shit. I guess Reality TV fame is quite the siren song. She has worked long and hard to get where she is and her final degree is only four years old. I’d hate to have done all that and then wind up on Bravo. I bet her salary on RH isn’t even as much as her uni salary. Seems so odd. Oh well, she better work on likability or she is one and done.
I can’t believe I’m saying this in public but I am loving Karen! Last night she flew in on a dragon and set Wendy and her 37 degrees on fire! I am here for that! You can be intelligent and yet be as dumb as a rock. Now if that dragon can take out Candiace, Gizelle and Robyn all will be right in Potomac. I wish Ashley had told Gizelle that if the other ladies didn’t want to go on a trip with Monique then they could stay the fuck at home! It would be such a fun trip if just Ashley, Monique and Karen went!
Monique is a thuggish hood rat dressed up in a cocktail dress.
No one is more a “hood rat” than Candiace. Have you read her tweets? Despicable.
Karen for the win this season (and last)! I used to find her pretty insufferable, but the last couple of seasons she’s been my fave. She’s getting more real, less pretentious, and funnier.
Wendy is just boring and not likable. I’m sure she is very smart, and kudos on the degrees, but I don’t get why someone thought she’d be a good fit.
Her worst sin: she’s not funny. Even in her interviews.
Now, I’ll just slither on out of here….
Is anyone else sick of the endless tear dabbing with folded tissues?
ME!!!
Hey all! Did you know Wendy has 4 degrees?! Shocking, I know.
I have a JD, but the minute I lead EVERY. SINGLE. CONVERSATION. with that, it’s clear there’s something wrong with me.
Honey – degrees don’t equal smarts. Degrees can be bought. Intelligence and Smarts cannot. It’s clear what Wendy has done.
She wants to be Queen bee for nothing other than her degrees. But she doesn’t speak well, she has nothing going for her, she’s pretty nasty …. proof buying degrees doesn’t entitle one to Queen status.
Ughhhjjj she bothers me. Shut the fuck up Wendy! She’s trying sooooooo hard.
