RHOP Recap: Portu-Girl Bye

November 8, 2020 by tamaratattles 41 Comments

RHOP RecapDespite the fact that most of these women have no idea where Portugal is, nevertheless, off we go. I am kind of looking forward to this RHOP recap as it is one of the better seasons currently airing. That’s not saying much because RHOC really sucks hind teat this season. I am excited for Real Housewives of Salt Lake City this week. But it is coming at the 10 o’clock time slot at least or now. It seems that they were hoping that RHOC would be a good lead in. It is not. No one is really watching RHOC. So RHOSLC may get the 9 pm slot. In other news, I’m sad tonight after the passing of Alex Trebek. So I’ll probably be a little bit slower than usual tonight. He was such a great man.

RHOP RecapStill Not In Portugal…

I’m going to miss Monique on this episode. 🙁  I hope she still gets airtime somehow. This show has the best taglines in years. Jesus. We are not even to the airport yet. Let’s move this along. I can’t stand Candiace. I just can’t. And, I wish she would have stayed home and Monique would have gone. Did she just ask her mommy for permission to buy luggage? Oh there Monique is filming with Karen. I never expected to like Karen. But shockingly, I do like her this season. I can’t believe that Ashley is leaving the baby with Michael. Ashley is team Monique because Monique didn’t release footage of Michael grabbing the crew guys ass. That whole legal drama was stupid. It was an ass grab. Not an assault.

Finally, we get to the airport and on the plane in first class. Or maybe business. Yeah that is totally business class or maybe even coach on some airlines. How the hell is this a 19 hour flight? We’re going to Europe, not Australia.  Madeira is beautiful though. And they probably had to take a connecting flight from Lisbon, or maybe even another connecting flight from Paris. I can’t imagine touching down in Paris and not staying in Paris for a couple of days.

RHOP RecapThey Arrive At Night For Dinner At The Hotel

I love how they pretend they decided to have dinner at the hotel. Production had everything set up in advance for filming. Is it morning or evening? I would never leave that hotel.  It is amazing. I spend a LOT of time in my hotel room Paris. Sometimes my friends at the K+K call to check on me if I don’t come down and send me room service. LOL. Gizelle and Wendy come for Ashley and Michael’s relationship. Oh shit, Ashley is about to tell Candiace that she wrote a statement supporting Monique in the legal drama. But first, Karen comes after Gizelle’s relationship with Mr. Chocolate. He literally fucks anyone he can. An argument ensues.

Even Robyn takes Karen’s side. Gizelle is very secretive about Jamal and they are all very open with their relationships. Gizelle is pissed that Robyn does not have her back. Especially since she just went ring shopping with Juan. Savoy Palace is LIFE GOALS. I really hope we can all travel again soon. When Banjo kicks the bucket, I am getting the fuck out of here to SOMEWHERE that will take me.

I Just Want To Go Home

I am not a bit surprised that Ashley is freaking out. When I travel, I miss my dog so much that it is barely even worth it. I can’t imagine having a kid. She can’t get in touch with Michael. She has no idea who is putting her child to sleep. Michael just hangs up on her. He’s such a dick. She is probably going to bail on the trip.

Robyn and Gizelle talk about how Gizelle is so secretive about Jamal. The next morning on day 2, Ashley is tying to talk herself out of going home. Candiace is trying to stop worrying about the court cases. Ashley and Karen talk about Jamal. Karen is coming for Gizelle after years of attacks by Gizelle. Ashley says that she probably overreacted to Michael being late getting home.

The Ladies Ride The Cable Cars

This trip looks so amazing. I must get to Portugal. I am not sure if I went there as a child or not. My Mama dragged me and daddy to basically everywhere. And we spent like one night in every city. Maybe two in Paris.  All Wendy wants to talk about is her degrees. Why is she so pressed with Karen? Wendy is just awful. These women haven’t even bothered to learn a single word or Portuguese. Not even, hello, goodbye, thank you… etc. When I went to Romania chasing an artist, I at least knew that much.

But Wendy wants to talk about her doctorate. NOBODY CARES, WENDY!  Karen says if she felt offended, she is sorry. Can we please move on? Karen and Gizelle get into it when Karen says that Gizelle needs to be cautious with Gizelle. Then Jamal facetimes and says hello to everyone. Karen is not impressed. And next week, things seem to get crazy!

      I love this show too. I love how this season Karen isn’t letting Gizelle off the hook for tormenting her when her life was falling apart. I really love Karen this season also.

      Different subject, but TT did you watch the undoing tonight??

    Potomac is probably one of the only housewives series that keeps me interested and I know I’m in for something new every single week. They don’t stay stuck on the same topic, the storylines always evolve and all 7 women on this show delivers the goods. If it was one cast that should stay the same for multiple seasons versus others, it’s definitely Potomac .

        Exactly my thoughts. When she “unbuttoned” it again, I was right there with Karen, Oh shit. LOl. I am tired of hearing about her degrees. I agree it is a big deal and she should be proud but she is using at as a weapon not an accomplishment.

    When you use your education and your accomplishments to put other people down, it takes away from your accomplishments in higher education. You don’t have to have a degree to be a nice person.

          I love me some Miss Karen. After losing both parents within a year , moving from Potimac & having an empty nest must have been brutal. Also married to the black Bill Gates seems no walk in the park. Its refreshing to see a woman over a certain age thrive laugh & conquer all opposition.its why I started watching these shows in the first place. Female empowerment friendship & travel not the slug fest overwrought producer driven drama & turmoil. Keep the REAL in the Real Housewives Bravo. Miss Karen is the epitome of REAL. # rant over

    I am loving me some Karen this season, and I’m completely shocked by that. If this is what they saw when they cast her in the role I see why they did. I keep tuning in to watch her check Wendy. And that button comment I wish she would have checked Wendy on that. Ain’t nobody buttonning anything on me except me ya heard little girl?

    Karen and Ashley are really carrying the show this season.

    Robyn is nice. I’m not ready to write her off yet.

    Gizelle has become the new Karen; go figure. I have always liked Gizelle I love her relationship with her daughters, but this season I am not feeling her at all. She’s blatantly messy, and that is not a good look on her.

    You know the most funny thing on this episode is when they get off the cable car and Candiace says she’s dizzy and they Segway to a church with a ringing bell subtly indicating she needs Jesus in her life to get rid of her dizzy nature. Maybe not true, but I like to think it is cause she needs an intervention badly.

    Good grief I really can’t stand Dr Wendy. I’ve tried to like her but I find her so rude. A week later I’m still laughing at Karen’s reenactment of wendy coming down the stairs. I feel so sorry for Ashley, her first trip away from the baby and her husband hangs up on her. Awful. Did you see the blogger that Candiace told to “drop dead” actually died last week of kidney failure. There’s a campaign being led by some other blogging sites to get her kicked off the show as she knew he was sick, but everyone knows Candiace has a vile vile mouth.

    Candace can be annoying however Monique still wrongfully attacked her. The situation could have gotten much worse. Karen is classy and holds her own. Gizelles is messy but entertaining. Ashley seems to have grown up this season. Her husband and baby contributed to that. Wendy should be proud of her accomplishments however never condescending. She has an extremely strong personality

    TT. You’re right. How is 19 hrs to Portugal from the East Coast. And how is it midnite there and 7 PM in Potomac. (When Ashley was on the phone with Michael). No way is there 19 hr time difference…. I’m totally confused. Bad editing????

    I think the reason most are loving Karen this season is because this is the first season where she can actually shine and is being herself. The first season she was too busy trying to create this “grand dame” persona and clearly living beyond her means with both her long time friends Charisse and Gizelle saying that this is not the real Karen , the second season she was desperately trying to cover up Rays legal and financial woes. The third season she was dealing with her husband being in deep tax issues and both her parents having Alzheimer’s, then the end of the third season both of her parents died within 7 months of each other, then the women went straight on to film the fourth season which essentially was her grieving and trying to build her brand. Now we’re on the fifth season and financially she’s doing much better than before and seems to be in a much “happier” place. And the same ladies that loved to watch her fall are now trying to get up themselves. Maybe we’re finally seeing the real Karen.

    Are we going to skip right over the fact that 7 degree Wendy was named after the Wendy’s fast food franchise where her father worked? It was the one likable moment of her time on the show. I’d agree with Gizelle about keeping Jamal out of the limelight, but I can’t because she’s always sticking her nose into the private lives of the other women. So, suck it up buttercup. If you can dish it out you need to be able to take it. I was also confused about the time it took for them to get to Portugal and if it did take 19 hours that should have used that time to learn a few Portuguese phrases instead of looking like a bunch of dummies when they were in restaurants and tourist spots. When Ashley called home I thought it was midnight back home. When she talked to Michael and told him he was supposed to be home at 7, it was only 7:11 and he was on his way home. I understand why she was upset, but if you know he’s cheated on you and you can’t trust him not to cheat again, leave his ass. She’s too young to spend the rest of her life worrying about where he is and who he’s with.

        A blogger I am not familiar with who apparently had health issues. And Candiace didn’t like him and kept basically wishing he would drop dead. This is based on what I was emailed. Very sad.

        Here is a link to another site that seems to be well informed on the subject. https://tasteofreality.com/rhop-candiace-khyle-black-socialites-dead/ It also includes Candiace’s wishing death on him on an IG live recently.

          I owe you an apology and here it is. I am sorry I criticized you for your opinion in the Candiace/Monique dust up. I wasn’t aware Candiace was on video calling someone obese and wishing he would drop dead. That’s a disgusting video of Candiace. After watching that I feel so bad for his family. Now I understand the hatred sent her way, she put that out in the world and like a boomerang it is coming back.

    FOR GOD’S SAKE, put Baby Dean to bed when he’s ready to go!

    Michael was a lousy 11 minutes late. He SHOULD have called the babysitter after the meeting to tell her he was on the way home. SHIT HAPPENS! Meetings go long. No GOOD reason to make a baby pay the price. BFD, he can kiss Dean goodnight when he gets home.

    Separate the relationship problems from the baby’s routine.

    Ashley’s reaction, in a HEALTHY relationship, would have been over the top. But this is NOT a healthy relationship, and Ashley’s reaction shows the strain she is under.

    Karen hit the nail on the head when she said Gizelle is messy and in other peoples business as a deflection. Gizelle is a beautiful woman on the exterior but I feel she ugly on the inside with her jealousy and insecurity. On a side note Gizelle has terrible taste…her clothes, choice of home decor and her man.
