I don’t think I even watched last week’s RHOD as that was the first day of THE GREAT ILLNESS OF 2021. Today is day seven and I am feeling much better as long as I take Mucinex every few hours. So I’m ready for a RHOD recap! I have to say I miss LeeAnne and really with they would have gotten rid of Kary instead. LeeAnne was a lot of things, but at least she was authentic. The rest of these ladies not so much. Okay, I’m all caught up on last week. I think I started watching it and fell asleep about halfway through.
Brandi who has ten billion ADORABLE children got home at 4am from Kary’s birthday party. Stephanie and Kameron get together to work through their hangovers. Kam’s friend Jen joined them. They were the least drunk at the party. D’Andra won’t let Brandi in her house because Brandi decided that a pandemic was a good time to fly to Florida. I wouldn’t let her my house either. Mask or no mask. So they sit in the back yard. And Kary joins them. Kary seems jealous of Tiffany’s relationship with D’Andra. They are drinking tequila. I pause to make a hoe cake to go with my rutabagas because I am starving.
Did You Know Tiffany Is A Doctor?
For some reason, Tiffany is apparently redoing he life saving skills certification at her house with two five year old helpers. I’m not an expert on this, but I don’t think this is how it works. Tiffany is like Wendy on RHOP. She reminds us of her degrees and skills in every episode. She of course passed her test. Which she tells us several times. Then she tells her five-year-olds that she is at work saving people when she is not with them. The overly coached five-year-olds tell her they want her not to go to work. She seems everso worried about this. So much so that she took yet another job on RHOD.

Argh. Computer crashed. I hate this laptop. I’m skipping over the housewife’s offspring’s mental health issues being splattered all over TV. So let’s move on to Brandi talking about her “rehab” for racism. And how she hates her birthday. D’Andra is going to have a birthday party for Brandi at nearby winery. Stephanie helps her plan. And also helps her figure out how to use her laptop. Because, D’Andra. I really have no room to poke fun at D’Andra at this point regarding technology.
Stephanie Spends Bonding Time With Her Mama
Stephanie is starting a non-profit and is setting up her new office. For the sake of the sake of funny TV, she plans to paint and set up the office and move everything herself. So her mother and brother-in-law are going to help her move and paint. Let’s just say it starts off with a bumpy ride. She and her mom seem very close. They bond while talking about married life. Stephanie seems to think Travis doesn’t believe in her. But she does manage to repaint the new office.

HOT HUSBAND ALERT! Is this the first sighting of D’Andra’s husband this season? D’Andra has written a letter to her estranged family. Jeremy is going with D’Andra to put the letter in one of their mailboxes. Does she know about the post office? Oh she claims to be worried that USPS will lose the letter. Instead, she is making it some sort of ridiculous recon mission with Jeremy who thinks this is just as ridiculous as I do. He mocks the entire scene and is hilarious.
It’s My Party And I’ll Cry If I Want To
Normally I wait until the end to put in the headers. But I don’t even have to see this episode to know this will probably work just fine. D’Andra has … er… it kind of looks like Brandi’s head on a pike. She calls it Captain Brandi and talks like Brandi while waving it around. I mean. I really don’t know how to describe what I am seeing here. But apparently, Captain Brandi is going to the winery. Um, YAY?

So off we go to the winery in a party bus with a stripper pole as sophisticated wealthy women of a certain age do. Kary immediately starts complaining. Because, apparently complaining is her storyline. AGAIN. There isn’t enough ice to chill the wine or the tequila. Apparently, D’Andra didn’t bring a corkscrew. And there is not toilet. And the all have to pee after the 15 minute ride over to get Brandi. Thankfully they all just take a potty break at Brandi’s. Oh no they don’t. Brandi just takes one of her spawns baby toilets to take on the trip. As one does. Then they show off their geriatric stripper moves. I’m not making this up.
Are We There Yet?
Can we just get to the damn destination, PUHLEASE. The winery looks lovely. Kameron is super annoyed with D’Andra for being the tour guide carrying Captain Brandi high in the air as she leads the group. As soon as they get inside, the kind employee greets everyone with wine. Which sets off Kary’s whining. She asks the employee if the “hostess” D’Andra told her that was someone in the party who does not drink. Is that Jen?
Why is D’Andra doing full on makeup at the dinner table? Why is everyone so angry. Can’t the just shut up and eat, drink and be merry? ARGH.
Please feel better soon. I had to break down and see my doctor after self medicating for 2 weeks. Had a nasty sinus infection. Anywho…Last week it was a booze fest where Kary was sprayed with champagne. This week it was a stripper pole. Am I the only one who feels like Tiffany just doesn’t fit in well? And her constant bragging is off putting. She can back it up, but still it is annoying. I’m sure when reunion time comes Brandi will get a lot of backlash about the video as well as questions about when she got pregnant given she looks far along and was drinking at this point in filming. I like Kameron and Stephanie. Although, Travis gives me the creeps.
I think Brandi’s weight gain (if her story is 100% true) is probably due to antidepressants &/or anti-anxiety meds. When I first saw her at the “slip & slip” she & Stephanie planned for the kids, I thought “wow is she pregnant already”? Then after hearing her story & the fact that she actually went somewhere to deal with her issues of anxiety, depression, worthlessness etc, I immediately “ah yeah that looks like a psych med weight gain.”
Now idk for sure bc whoever knows with these women, but I think that’s what it is (for now!)
*although getting pregnant on most psych meds can be a problem too so honestly who tf knows lol
She’s very pregnant. She made a huge post on her IG of her bump
Good, so we can add Bravo promoting fetal alcohol syndrome as well as all the other BS (from the OC in particular) in 2020-2021 ? is there no line anymore?
I live close to the winery in Grapevine/Colleyville. It’s a beautiful winery. Our home is about 3 miles from there. I see where they go into downtown Grapevine next. We have “The Grape Fest” every year! Fun!
For many reasons I like Kameron. I realize she comes across as a snob but I find myself laughing. I enjoy all the women this year even Tiffany. At least they are married and true Housewives. Thanks for the recap!
I share the love of Kam. For me, she is the star this season and growing on me more and more when I used to be all Steph (who I still love). But I think Tiffany is what this show needs. She might be a bit too normal but I think she will grow on us like Kam. Good point about this being the only “HW” where they are actual wives!
These stripper poles on buses are so 2000’s. Tacky and these are “high society” women of Dallas? Really? Just no on those things on a damn bus. What’s wrong with Kary? She is so jealous of D’Andrea, no other reason for her being so damn bitchy. Is she jealous of Jeremy? He’s hot. I can hardly listen to Kary’s voice so I put closed captions on when she’s talking and hit mute. I don’t want to hear about anyone’s depression either. Does Travis look bigger? He IS creepy. Brandi has and always will bug me. I can’t put my finger on it. That head on a stick was weird. Was this episode boring?
Tiffany is so valley girl. She has the way of speaking like my teen daughter and her friends.
Why is the Valley girl way of talking popular? I’m just genuinely curious as an Aussie. I’m very impressed with Tiffany’s accomplishments though.
Thanks TT for the recap! RHOD is growing on me.
well I live for Kameron, there was not enough of her this week. I also love D’Andrea’s husband, both Stephanie and Brandi’s husbands creep me out a little in different ways. Stephanie’s is way too controlling.
Carey is the worst, a mean girl all the way.
I think Tiffany is a nice change in the dynamic of the group, but of course doesnt fit in. Her daughters, however, are stinking adorable. Last week was better, when they were chatting in the car.
The whole mask thing makes me so nervous, actually all of the shows on that have been taped in the past year make me uncomfortable. They wear masks into the house, and then take them off and kiss eachother. I have not hugged a friend in a year. The shields are stupid, they dont do anything, and Tiffany is a frigging doctor, what is she doing in van with these women?? All I can think of is germs with these shows.
Watch Stephanie paint directly over electrical outlet! Who does that? ?
You had me at hoe cake!! I love hoe cakes! I learned how to make them in 4-H growing up. I actually learned how to make them using a hoe over a fire.
What is a Hoe cake please?
That kind of depends on where you are from, Sharon. In the old south, workers in the field would make “hoe cakes” to eat for lunch. The mixed hot water with cornmeal and fried it over a fire on the backs of their hoes. My mama used to make it in a cast iron skillet and fry it in oil (NOT OLIVE OIL) crisco oil or canola or whatever. and sometimes she’s fry an onion at the same time.
Just hot water from the tap, cornmeal (I use cornmeal mix) a hot skillet with a decent amount of oil. It’s not the most spectacular dish in the world. But it pairs nicely with some black eyed peas or rutabaga or turnip greens (all of those have some liquid involved). It mostly just reminds me of my mama and is a comfort food for me. :
Some people *cough* probably yankees *cough* add eggs and god knows what else. This is wrong, lol. Basically, it is a cornmeal pancake. Cheap food that fills the belly.
Cornmeal pancakes are delicious. I’m a big fan of Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Cornbread Mix as a pancake mix (usually too impatient to wait for the cornbread to finish baking.)
(Not opposed to gluten, just happens to have good ingredients with cornmeal as the main grain, has some sugar and leaveners, no fat added.)
I also just add water, no eggs, etc. .. Since there’s almost no fat, great with cheese melted on top. (you could of course fry them as per hoe cakes). Soft, fluffy texture, basically the pancake version of the flavour of cornbread.
I like Tiffany! I hope that doesn’t change. When she speaks about her education and merits, it doesn’t come across as an arrogant/better than the world type of way. Unlike Wendy from Potomac. I don’t think she knows what she’s in for with conniving, silver spoon white ladies. Hope they don’t ruin her. I also really relate to Stephanie regarding feeling lost being a Mom and wife. It’s a very real thing. Kary is annoying and rude. Somebody needs to give that lady a cough drop to clear her throat. Her voice is so scratchy!
So! Kary, what a frickin Nightmare! She was besties with D’andra to get rid of Leeann, now she is going after HER? She is just nasty. And I have to say Tiffany just Pissed me off going after Kam with the chicken foot thing and her culture…and that Kam offended a whole country, I have soo much to to say about her culture but I don’t want offend Tamara or the people posting here..if Tamara gives me permission I will….thank you!
This week felt blech to me.
I agree the corona virus issues, masks/no masks, shields, etc. make me uncomfortable. But it seems the same on other HW shows too. They seem too cavalier about it, despite all their claims they are being careful.
D’andra and that head — wtf was that? Not funny for sure. Creepy. Annoying. I wanted to grab it and smack her with it. I will never understand the point.
What is with the red head? Is she just hanging around? Is she a “friend”? Is she auditioning? She bothers me as she is just always there but doing nothing of interest.
I don’t find Travis creepy. I think he was controling in the first seasons and might like to be now, but is much better. I think he just has a weird sense of humor and is trying to be funny with her. I also think he and is company do a lot of generous donating to lots of causes. He’s made a lot of money and is spreading the wealth, which is admirable.
Jen is Kam’s friend I think. Therefore, I love her. 🙂
The previous owners of the home I bought this year!
The resuscitation scene was awful. I admit I’m often fast forwarding Tiffany’s scenes. My husband came in while I was watching it and thinks she is not a doctor, but a nurse or something. I expected better from her, being in her profession…
Why is Kary such a loud irritsting nasty person? I havevto mute every time she is on.
