The person doing publicity for RHOD is not making things easy. First of all on the media site it refers to the season as season eight. Also most of the professional photography is listed with many of the ladies listed as from different seasons. And then there is the whole premiering the new season on NYE as a preview. It seems it also premieres at the new time regular time on Tuesday January 5th. Clear as mud, right? Also the date is wrong for when the premiere airs. It says it premiered yesterday it did not. I’ve never seen this before. Let’s check out the taglines and looks.
Stephanie: I don’t need your approval. I need you to get out of my way.
This season, after years of being a doting mother and wife, Stephanie is eager to return to work and launches her own foundation. When her husband, Travis, questions her ability to follow through, she sets on a course to prove him wrong. WOW it seems like her tagline is about Travis!
Kary: If you take a shot at me, it better be tequila.
In an attempt to heal the wounds left behind by her chaotic childhood, Kary is working on rebuilding her relationship with her mother. Afraid of making the same mistake with her own children, the pandemic has prompted Kary to take a hard look at what is most important to her. Is Kary talking about her mom here? Everyone seems to be taking pot shots on this season of RHOD!
Tiffany: I can save your life, but not your reputation.
New housewife and physician Tiffany Moon joins this season, wasting no time inserting herself into the drama with the ladies. Tiffany was born in a small town just outside of Beijing, China. She moved to the United States when she was just 6 years old. The product of extreme Tiger parents, she graduated college at 19 years old. Then she got her MD at age 23 finishing in the top 10 percent of her class. She’s coming on a as D’Andra’s friend. Tiffany struggles to find the balance between her demanding job as a frontline worker during the pandemic and being a wife and a mother to 5-year-old twin girls.
Brandi: Take it from me, a sinner is a saint who just keeps on trying.
Brandi’s racist Asian video comes back to haunt her when Tiffany shows up in the first episode. After LeeAnne’s firing for racism last season, Brandi is on thin ice. And Brandi was driving the self-righteous train that ran LeeAnne over. Karma is coming for her hard this season. And her name is Tiffany. Edit: Oh I forgot, after her mother in law was killed in a car accident with Brinkley in the car, she reported she was pregnant a couple weeks later. I think the baby is a girl and do in due in mid-spring. But don’t quote me on that.
D’Andra: Dallas girls are sugar and spice, but I’m still working on nice.
D’Andra struggles to get in touch with her sensitive side and reconcile with part of her family she hasn’t seen or spoken to in years. In an effort to become a more forgiving person, she enlists the help of a Shaman. But when conflict arises with Kary, her new skills are quickly put to the test.
Kam: I love to be pampered, but I’m nobody’s pet.
With her house on the market, Kameron is desperately looking for a buyer before her dream house slips away, but her husband Court is keeping her in the dark on the logistics. As she struggles with her husband treating her as an equal partner, she also has trouble connecting with new housewife Tiffany. It looks like Kam is going to have some marital issues. And Tiffany is not going to probably take to Kam’s dumb girl, cutesy act. Also, Kam had a huge garage sale in June that was filmed with Brandi. There was a lot of backlash about having a garage sale during a pandemic. People around here do it all the time though.
Jennifer Davis Long will appear as a friend on RHOD Season Five.
There isn’t really any copy on the new friend. It was hard enough to find the copy on the actual RHOD. But there were rumors circulating during early filming. Jennifer is a hot shot realtor. Her husband is allegedly a photographer? Again these are rumors. They have been married for seven years. But, her husband abruptly stopped filming very early on or decided not to film.
The Dallas rumor mill says their marriage is in jeopardy. On June 1, Jennifer posted “We fell in love, we got married, we had a Camelot life. Then, tragedy struck. Many of you don’t know our story, but will soon. We weathered the storm, we fought for our daughter, we fought for us, and we fought for love. The water was rocky, but we didn’t jump ship. Loving and losing are such similar words, and sometimes it’s hard to have one without some form of the other. David, I love you with my whole heart. Seven years with you, and I am right where I am meant to be!”
And then he is never mentioned again and she is alone with her daughter who was allowed to film. Looks like the housewives divorce curse was quick with this one.
Bravo will be airing the full season premiere episode of RHOD early as a sneak peek on Thursday, December 31 at 8/7c. Season 5 will officially premiere on Tuesday, January 5 at 9/8c.
OK, I’m interested. RHOD has grown on me over the last five years. I’ve always had a soft spot for Stephanie, and D’Andra has gradually become one of my favorites. I’m really intrigued by Dr. Tiffany, so I guess I’ll be watching to see how this season goes.
And as I said under your previous RHOD story, I wish nothing but the best for D’Andra in her COVID treatment/recovery.
Both the new girls seem REALLY rich. D’Andra seems fine with Tiffany pretty much having it all. Even though Tiffany has the honorary status of Mama D’s favorite daughter! Brandi is scared to death of her. My girl Kam is not going to take to well to Tiffany. She’s WAY too much competition.
I’m almost excited for the season. But I’ve learned not to get my hopes up. I’ll be recapping on Thursday.
We’ll be here for it next week!
I finally started binging the last RHONY season last weekend, and it was nice to see Leah shake things up. IMHO it helps to have some different people who are not always doing the same shit all the time.
I know some folks are apprehensive since this will be the first RHOD without LeeAnne, but she got exposed and the producers needed to start taking the show in a new direction. If Brandi Redmond is anywhere near as bad as that video suggested she may be, then I won’t be mad if Dr. Tiffany exposes her like Kary exposed LeeAnne (and Brandi is next to leave the show).
What’s the latest on D’Andra?? 🙏🏻
Haven’t heard an update. I expect her to be in there thru at least the 2nd.
TIffany and Kary both tweeted/Insta’d about her. Tiffany said D’Andra is on the mend.
I really really want to see how this Shaman thing goes down with Fundamentalist Baptist mother Dee.
And, yeah, from indication, Brandi is in for a rough season – her castmates gloss over it after the first few episodes but the viewers won’t.
Wow, thanks for parsing the info for us. It’s even more confusing here in Australia. Who knows when it will actually drop here
Looking forward to it, though.
My DVR recorded like a 3 minute long sneak peak extended promo as it was a new episode of RHOD. Maybe’s that how publicity got messed up saying it premiered already?
The promo had a lot of the new girl Tiffany getting in arguments with people, Brandi falling down the stairs, Brandi crying when being confronted by people, lots of clear plastic visor usage, and lots of big parties and big dinners despite COVID.
I couldn’t figure out why you were recapping the three minute video above. And then I went to check the video and and didn’t start with RHOD like it is supposed to. It’s fixed now. Bravo has made things so f’ed up lately with their videos. They don’t just give you the one you choose there are others after that. And sometimes it is just the ones after that. It’s really annoying. Clearly interns are running the site and handling the the Media site. Both are disasters.
How did I miss that Brandi is pregnant!
I forgot all about that and just updated the post. Thanks.
I hope D is ok and doing well. I actually can count on two hands how many people I personally know that have Covid. Half of those people have no symptoms, and the other half are freaking miserable. Two nurses I know are really struggling with the physical symptoms. We NEED nurses to be healthy and help others. I love going to the grocery store, but I will stop and place my order online, and tip as much as I can.
Let me explain why Dallas is in my top 3 of the shows. One these ladies show up and film with each other good, bad, or ugly. Two we don’t have to suffer through the stale housewives storylines that repeat themselves so many times even in the new housewives. And three, they go there and an own it, unlike a certain diamond group. IMJS
I think they have the best fight foreplay parties. They usually have original party ideas that lead into all of the requisite brawling. This year it looks like we get a murder mystery party.
Dallas has been a favorite of mine for a few years. I think Kam is so funny, and in on the joke about herself. I’m really disappointed they brought Brandi back, though. I feel like conflict with LeeAnne was her only storyline, and I’d like to see how Stephanie interacts with the girls without her. I know she’s had a rollercoaster of a year, but she announced her pregnancy around Halloween so I wonder if it’ll even be a part of this season. And she did confirm it’s a girl, btw.
The tag lines are a disaster.
I agree. I do kind of like Tiffany’s though. Brandi’s is literally nonsensical so fitting in a way.
Thanks for the heads up on the early preview. I was looking for something to do NYE 😬
Dallas is my favorite 100%, I lived there 15 years and every time I see the show I miss Dallas a lot. I agree with the person who said they show up, they bring new fights to the party and they own it. Dallas is the dream franchise to me. Some of the ladies actually have money, unlike some of the other broke as a joke Real Housewives in other cities.
I’m glad it premiers on NYE so I have something to watch. Are people really planning on being out partying this year with the pandemic going on?
No but most of us who stay at home like to watch NYE things on NYE. lol.
I cant wait for RHOD to come back, and wow I love all of those red dress looks! I wish that stylist had been with Potomac.
