It’s time for another RHOP Recap! Next week is the season finale. But tonight, there is a “dominatrix party’ and Ashley reveals that she has written a statement on behalf of Monique about what a hot head, shit stirrer with violent tendencies that Candiace is. OMG! My computer is suddenly able to right click again! It’s like Christmas in November! RHOP ratings have been AWFUL this season. Most weeks they don’t even hit a million viewers! Last week was the highest rating of the season with 1.11 million total views. Yikes! I thought it was a fairly decent season. I think Bravo is going to have to come up with something beside just eleventy billion housewives franchises.
A Civilized Day On A Housewives Trip? Wow.
We are still in beautiful Portugal. Why are the green eyed bandits acting like Ashley would want any sort of relationship with Candiace. Why would anyone want anything to do with Candiace? Today the ladies are off to a natural spring! YAY! I’ve never heard of a natural spring in an ocean. It’s beautiful though. Ashley is pumping while drinking a beer in public. I could do without Candiace’s ass clapping and singing. For real. Candiace is not feeling Karen anymore. Karen and Ray seem to be doing better based on their phone conversation.

It’s time for a housewives dinner. I bet the sea bass is delicious in Portugal. Apparently, Robyn sends naked photos to Juan. So, Candiace took topless photos at the dinner table to send to Chris. Everyone actually gets along at dinner! That’s because Candiace doesn’t know about Ashley’s letter to the court in support of Monique yet! This was the most civilized dinner in housewives history!
Ladies Who Lunch… And Crack The Whip?
Later the ladies take a ride in the side cars of motorcycles to a Poncha farm? I think I could skip that trip. I’m really not sure what this drink is. Oh apparently, it is a fruity rum drink. I’ll have what they are having! While they enjoy their drinks, Robyn announces her website is live. And everyone is on it…except for Karen. That’s mean. I thought Karen’s photos really showed off the hats! It’s the last night in Portugal. So clearly that means a Dominatrix party tonight. Because, huh? But first they go to lunch by the pool. Karen announces she has a wig line. And of course she is going to have a kickoff party.

This dominatrix party is ridiculous. Like totally ridiculous. But the food looks amazing. The chef must be as disturbed by this as I am. Who wants to sit around with their female friends and play with dildos and whips. I really don’t need to know who often these women masturbate. Seriously. This is just disturbing. Ashley tells stories about having a three way and then transitions into telling Candiace she wrote a letter about her character to support Monique. Candiace is pissed and Wendy also comes for Ashley. Wendy hasn’t mentioned her degrees this entire episode. Candiace alternates from fake crying to cursing at Candiace. Karen tries to play the victim. Karen says she is neutral. Candiace dries her nonexistent tears.
The ladies take some extra food to their rooms. Candiace calls her husband from the room. And Ashley calls Michael. Both husbands talk trash about the other woman. Chris says that Monique talked a lot of trash about Ashley. Next week, Monique returns for the finale.
I remember when Bravo was a good network. The original queer eye and the beginning seasons of Project Runway also recently Imposters and Odd Mom Out. They have fallen so far
I loved Imposters and Odd Mom Out. And, also, the one about the newly divorced mom. The woman from House starred in it. I miss the scripted shows they used to have.
These Black women are sooo pretentious. Why not project a more positve image. Is this what having money looks like ? They can all be MEAN girls the least being Ashley & Candiace the most. Despite what happened Monique’s a better person than Candiace. Robyn I’m surprised at you Gizelle you should be less judgemental & you all should focus less on your looks, clothes, status & more on improving society B_____s!
I do think the women on all these shows are pretentious regardless of color. They argue about stupid things that end up in season long b….o…r…i…n…g storylines. They are all self centered and egotistical out of touch people, They want people to believe that these are the most pressing things in their lives.. Or at least the younger women want us to believe that to deflect from their real issues. They are all becoming so boring and cliche. They don’t even distract anymore from the world we are all desperately trying to escape, they are adding to the annoyance. At least from them I can walk away.
Candiace is ridiculous w/her folded napkins on every episode drying nonexistent tears.
Why is it never discussed that it was on film showing Candiace grabbing a handful of Monique’s vest before Monique drug her?
Are you blind ma’m? She grabbed the vest after Monique twirled her hair 3 times. I understand Candiace’s mouth is a loooooot but let’s not lie to justify bullshit. It was played back multiple times that Candiace touched the vest in response to Monique touching her hair.
Yeah, and as she grabbed Moniques collar, Gizelle pushed Monique. The camera caught her big hand on Moniques chest. Monique could have felt it was Candiance. Gizelle and Robin are the Bone Carriers and instigators. Candiances mouth wrote a check…. Ashkey stated the facts….. Its interesting how focused the Candiance supporters are on ensuring Monique is NEVER invited to ANY more events. Also how none of them even try to address Candiance foul mouth. After Karens Grand Dame’s Reading Room on Wendy’s show, Gizelle and Robin got some business to attend to. Nwxt week promises to be even more fun!
Giselle’s pushing Monique escalated the fight…that’s why Giselle/Godzilla does not want to be around Monique because she might get some of those fists too. She only befriended Monique to get close enough to do her harm!
Because it didn’t happen!
She is that ridiculous so is Ashley.Robin.Monique,Gizzelle.They will do anything for ratings than sold their souls.
Agreed I’m so sick of her crying every episode she never takes accountability for her actions!
I am sick of Ashley’s breast! Wendy wasn’t on the beach with a pump. She makes everyone around her uncomfortable. And now she’s preganant again so we have a good 4 seasons of her nursing? If there’s a camera she nurses or pumps. I nursed my babies, but she is over doing it! Now, that is my opinion.
I am really surprised their season has low ratings. I thought they were up for the this year. Especially, since I thought everyone had watched everything on Netflix, like me, and there is nothing else to watch.
The Candiace, Wendy, Gizelle and Robyn quartet are so infuriating. Candiace has talked about Gizelle and Robyn like a dog. I cannot believe they would be so supportive of her if I wasn’t certain both of them are jealous of Monique (especially Gizelle).
Robyn stating she sends naked pictures to Juan is a …. YAWN… she comes across very, very boring. And since she said it had been a couple of weeks since she had given Juan some “special treatment” I rest my case.
Portugal is beautiful. I am glad they did show out too much there.
I am definitely ready for the finale and reunion.
I am kind of surprised by the low ratings too. The social media buzz about this season has been very positive. I just think people are over the housewives in general. By now everyone sees the cookie cutter script of the whole thing. Not having a single fight at dinner was literally a shocking surprise since that is against the usual script.
I think this is Potomac’s breakout season and I’m shocked by the low views. I do think that the housewives has gone straight to trash because of Andy’s messy ass and propensity to want these women to scrap and use the gay mens’ lingo, it’s tedious, through and tired at this stage.
I thought we would be tuning into beautiful women living exceptionally and doing things we dream of. The hoodrat demeanour of certain housewives and the fact that most wives are now broke is beyond me, we can do all the things these women do and tbh, we can get men of their husbands’ caliber if not greater. I’m tuned out, I’m just waiting on Kenya Moore to leave RHOA so I can truly be entertained. Miss and love you TT, I haven’t been as active because I’m exhausted. This year has just been violating continuously so I’m taking sporadic breaks. It’s required for me to function at the most basic level.
If this season wasn’t proof that the green eyed bandits were not jealous of Monique then I don’t know what is. Robyn couldn’t wait to ice Monique out. And Monique made a great point the other day, after the “fight” both Gizelle and Robyn were talking to her and even text her that night to complain about Candace, it wasn’t until they must’ve plotted to use it to bring her down did she start hearing about how bad it was. I’ve been loving their Portuguese trip but wondering why they only stayed in Madeira and not ventured on the mainland. Madeira is renowned for being an “old people’s island” with not much activity going on. Even the hotel they’re staying in has a sister hotel in Lisbon which is to die for. Madonna used to live in one of their residences so you can imagine how amazing that hotel is. I’m shocked ratings are so low for this season. I heard that OC and SLC ratings were really bad but Potomac has had so much buzz. Did anyone see Karen on Wendy Williams this week? She could give lessons on how to throw shade.
I meant were jealous of Monique
Monique is the only one to get violent. Candiace is a big mouth. They kept Porsha after she “dragged” Kenya at the reunion.
I have no sympathy for Candace problem starting self.she got her butt whipped and shedesrved it.that what she get for messing w Monique.candaice been starting since Monique was pregnant she lucky she didn’t get drag then.and the ones who side w Candice are two faced and always been jealous of monique.im glad Ashley took up for Monique she see through Candace bs.candace wanted to be bully so Monique washed her and put her in her place.the other girls are jealous of Monique if they gonna be fake to her why play fake friends leave Monique alone.candace want to press charges it’s funny over something you was looking for.im team monique.i bet you bully Candace now think twice of starting.
I wish Monique got to go on this trip. I wonder if she & Candice could have work out a detente had she gone. They better keep Monique on this this show. If she’s out after this season, so am I.
I never paid attention to Gizelle’s clothes until Karen pointed it out but her out at the poncha bar…… Babyyyyy what was she thinking? A top white with gold metallic accents, GOLD LAME maxi skirt, white running shoes, distressed denim jacket topped with a boaters hat? The outfit was bad enough but the gold lame might have worked with an evening look.
Giselle might want to ask Karen for her stylist’s number. Yikes!
Candice should go, she has ruined this show with her foul mouth and her Victim playing crying acts.
Monique is a real one who has no patience for her foolishness, she is about her business and most are jealous of her.
Wendy adds no value to the show, just her degree bearing braggadocio loud mouth. She and Candice should have their own show call The want to be Entitled Princess & Queen of Nothingness.
I’m shocked at Robin and Gisele still being messy, y’all are too seasoned and the platforms you have should dictate the constant below the belt behind the back tactics. I like y’all just go back to keeping it classy.
Karen is and always will be the Real Housewife and always keep it real!
The ratings are low because this show is one of the worst on Bravo and EXTREMELY boring. I DVR and use to ff through nasty Candice and gape mouth wendy. No it is through the entire show. Bravo has gone to the dogs a long, long time ago.
Gazelle and Robyn need to go and they use to be my favorite they are jealous of monique Candace mouth wrote a check her @$$ could not cash bye bye Candace
Yes both green eye monsters Giselle and Roby…Are very JEALOUS of Monique…I won’t leave out Cadaice nor Ms.Newbie..Wendy. .For get this house wives show!!..Monique can do with out…Its plain to see! Monique Karen,and Ashley Sleep Bathe Eat and everyday with MILLIONS of $$$$..Only bagger bones..reacted in the manner,as the the Ladies that has none!! that’s worth mentioning,or counting..$$$$
Monique,God has blessed she and her Beautiful family…Also beauty is sjin deep…Monique is a beautiful black woman…With her hansome husband at her side….No make is required, she has the natural beauty….Ashley and Karen or for real intelligent Women…THEY ARE PEACE MAKERS AND NOT TROUBLE JEALOUS MAKERS!!!
So if Cadiance is on anti-anxiety medication now, why is she drinking? That is a very dangerous combination.
Mmmm, good point, clearly lying. What grown woman would need medicine for that? Grow up!
I wish that Candace and Monique could work this out without all this court drama. Lesson here never make an important decision when you are angry and hurting Candace should’ve waited a bit longer before taking such a strong action even though she’s within her right. Both women should’ve walked away from the situation as quickly as possible.
Monique should not have attacked Candace physically , she’s definitely wrong. She should’ve apologized to Candace after a day or so, giving herself time to reflect and calm down then apologize. She still has the opportunity to apologize to Candace so that they can both move on in a dignified manner.
Candace needs to curtail her verbal responses and have more self control in that sense. I wish she wouldn’t use curse words as often as she does very unladylike… this goes for all the women. Candace is a bit immature, she is young and need guidance on how to handle “ adult” situations . She out of her league, my reason is , she is a nice girl trying to fit in. Sue should leave this show and pursue her singing career and her family she and her hubby are trying to build. She has a very supportive husband and should listen to him more often.
Too much backbiting and hypocrisy in these shows anyway, real friends do not treat each other in that manner in addition when you forgive you need to let it go and continue being friends. That is what true friends do for each other.
Have you read any of Candiace’s twitter and IG posts? You would never call her a nice girl if you had. She is a loud mouth, crude, obnoxious, below-the-belt nasty piece of work.
So I finally watched this season and it put me to sleep actually during the Candance how dare you write a letter scene. So I don’t remember much from that. To be honest I’ve skipped out on this show years ago mainly because of Candance. Over it and I know I’m not the only one. I did catch WWHL speaking about blow jobs and Karen. yeah the last thing I want to ever know about, equivalent to Vicki’s love tank.
Truly. I don’t ever need that visual of anybody them pleasuring their men. I thought Giselle was so worried about her image why would she ever talk about slobbing the knob?
Candiace is annoying. Even her husband tried to shut her up at Wendy’s sip and see. I don’t condone violence but every knows what happens when you poke a bear… or any animal. She had Ashley at knife point. GTFOH Candiace!
Monique need to learn words can’t hurt – putting hands on people can. Grow up – not a good example for your children
That’s not true, however both women coulf learn a huge lesson pout of all of this. In order to have growth theu must fully own their parts individually and collectively. Monique hitting Candiace does not negate the nastiness that Candiace spewed at her, or the fact that she was trying to bait her! Wrong is wrong… period!
I am sorry but words most assuredly do hurt and that hurt can last a lifetime. It is not right to lay hands on any one but it is also not ok to wish someone dead. It is not ok to make fun of people in such a hurtful way that it makes them depressed and suicidal. I would say that is as hurtful as someone grabbing your hair.
Anyone with any sense can see that Robin and Gizelle are jealous of Monique because she is rich and they want to be! Monique can buy and sell them anytime that she wants to do so. They hate her because of that. Candice, Robin and Gizelle should go live in a hole somewhere. I love Karen and Ashley for not turning their backs on Monique. I agree with Ashley, Gizelle should tear down that old house and start over- oh, that’s right, she does not have the money!!!!!
You left out one juicy little tidbit in your recap! Karen says in a confessional that she saw Candiace’s statement to the court, and that she admits to hitting Monique with the glass, first! Oh what a day when this information finally comes out to those crabs on the show! I can’t wait to see what lies and excuses they’ll all give. Candiace is the worse liar because if she’s so traumatized she wouldn’t have gone on the trip, nor would she be thinking about having a baby. She’s so pathetic, and I’m just beyond sick of her!
Agreed. I don’t know if I have ever disliked a housewife more…and I really dislike Vickie and Rinna.
Preach! She’s doing the show, marriage, kid talk, just for the check and fame. Just go away Candace and give another thirsty woman a shot!
Lies. Karen said that Candiace wrote in her statement that she released the glass in self defence. Y’all really have to stop lying as if we are’nt watching the same show. Karen didn’t even mention the word first during that confessional. Candiace’s mouth is gutter but Monique’s verbiage is adjacent to Porsha’s which is why she resorted to throwing hands, I get it truly but don’t lie to justify violence. Monique heard that Karen said something from Ashlay, she immediately sat down with Karen.
I don’t understand why after hearing some things from Gizelle, she wouldn’t sit down with Candiace. Her logic has been less than smart this season and her conduct abhorrent.
Released lol yeah and ok that MAY explain the glass but what about Candiace grabbing Monique by the lapel of her blazer? Did you see that part hence the mutual combat ruling and tossing of both cases.
I’ve already addressed that Candiace flicked Monique’s vest in response to Monique twirling her hair 3 times. Did you miss that part which was the first violation in terms of making physical contact ? What show are you watching ? ??? That was not mutual combat, it was an assault but the courts don’t play the reality games especially in a political town. They washed their hands of the fuckshit because as we’ve seen, the gutter was the foundation and they’ve dug deep and keep on digging. I’m ready for the reunion.
I was wondering how it got dismissed. One was as guilry as the other?
Yeah, sort of a mutual combat thing. In DC anyone can file charges on anyone. Eventually the court decides if they really want to try the cases.
Even if they knee that Candace was the first one to throw the glass they wouldn’t care anyway. When you’re so stuck on what you want you don’t care about the truth.
I just want to say that I now would love to go to Portugal! The views were spectacular! The food looked amazing and I can’t even get started on the market there! I think this is one of my favorite places of all the HW trips. It was beautiful!
100% agree…can’t stand the GEBs
the fact that some of them didnt know where it was….they dont deserve Portugal
Someone here was like PORTUGAL IS NOT AN ISLAND! As if they were the geography teacher we all needed lol. But the were on the islands. I would have liked to see Lisbon… but my goodness Portugal is beautiful. I’m not sure we ever went there.
Hi Tamara –
I don’t think that next week is the season finale – they still have Robin’s engagement party. But this has been a boring season and lot’s of mean girl action.
Well I have been wrong before but my understanding is that there ae 18 episodes and this was number 17…..
How can next weeks episode be the finale? We haven’t seen the big blow up yet involving brown dick Chris and Michael. And that wasn’t in the preview for next week.
I dunno. That was episode 17 according to my episode guide… and there are only 18 regular ones as far as I know. I don’t know though. I get it. there are usually a couple after the trip. But supposedly there are 18 episodes plus the reunions. ?
I was ready to crawl under my table – in my house – when Candiace was dancing and shaking it at this upscale hotel. Oh my Lord – these housewives are cementing our ugly American rap all over the world. And Robyn – you are in Portugal and order a Caesar salad? Come on guys! They are killing me.
I am totally loving Karen & Ashley for keeping it real this year. Candiace’s theatrics & acid tongue are such a huge turn off to me. The things she posted online were vile. In my personal opinion, I find words can do more damage to my soul than a hit to my body. I am not saying Monique attack on Candiace was not wrong or harmful. But, FOR ME, cruel words and verbal attacks are equally harmful – if not worse! The online attack on Monique went on for a very long period of time.
I think if Candaice had ANY self awareness it would not make me root for Monique as much as I am. and she was so wrong, but Candaice….
The food thing made me nuts too. The fact the the hotel has them on the menu for the Americans makes me sad for the world.
Can anyone verify that drinking a glass of champagne if you have an ulcer can kill you? Gizelle just comes across as an ultimate hater.
Let google be your ally or your GP if you’re tbat curious. I think what Gizelle was saying is Karen is full of kaka and always will be, Karen should’ve just said loose lips sink ships and marriages ladies, I won’t make the same mistake twice especially amongst Gizelle, Robyn and Wendy. ???♂️ I still love Karen but auntie is a mess in the GRAND scheme of things.
Did anyone else catch Gizelle’s shade towards Karen about not giving Ray blow jobs and how if she’s not giving it then he must be ge trying it somewhere? Oh irony and hypocrisy!! So was that Jamal’s excuse for always cheating…was Gizelle not giving it up? Sorry, but that comment Gizelle made bothers me to the core. For someone who constantly got/gets cheated on she sure is quick to blame the woman for a man’s infidelities.
I love RHOP but this season is giving me a headache! Monique was wrong. Candiace was wrong. Ashley is just trying to get even.
They all suck!
