Then
For this week’s RHOD recap, we are back in Grapevine, Texas to continue Brandi’s surprise birthday trip. Is it just me or do none of these women like each other anymore? Kary is just an awful human being. Tiffany is self-obsessed. Kameron is doing her Kameron routine, which I love. D’Andra is focused on hating Kary. Stephanie is Switzerland. Or maybe she is friends with Brandi? This cast just doesn’t seem to be a cohesive group. Nevertheless, it’s time for episode 5. Will D’Andra still be parading around like a Parisian tour guide with Brandi’s head on a pike? Let’s find out.
Ugly Panties & Hurt Feelings
Are we really starting with “The Panty Game”? It appears we are. Everyone decorated a pair of panties and Brandi has to guess who brought which pair of panties. Are we twelve? This birthday party is reminding me of the horrors of baby showers. So glad I don’t have to do that anymore. No one likes Kary. Especially me. Kary doesn’t understand the concept of having a full-time job and raising twins. Kameron is not fond of Tiffany. Neither does Kary, but she doesn’t like anyone. Both of them feel like Tiffany judges them for doing the same things she does. Like encouraging people to do shots. Kary seems jealous that Tiffany is doctor. Kary then turns her shitty attitude toward D’Andra.

Brandi tries to squash things and tells everyone at the table that Tiffany has a very important and stressful job and doesn’t need the extra aggravation. So of course Kary pops off with, well my daughter is suicidal, isn’t that important too? Why is it that none of the housewives on any franchise understand what is and what is not acceptable conversation at the dinner table? D’Andra excuses herself to the restroom. Tiffany goes in to check on her. Meanwhile, Kary and Kameron take the opportunity to get rid of Brandi’s head on a pike. AKA, Captain Brandi. They hide it in the vineyard.
Showing Their Asses
D’Andra aka production has arranged for a local bar to open for a private party. So after Stephanie locates Captain Brandi in the vineyard, they all head off to the local watering hole for pickle juice shots. Brandi decides to teach everyone some obscene dance moves. Tiffany is not particularly good at it. But the bartender, AJ joined in and that was cute. But really, this is like a teenager’s spring break party. These are grown ass women!

We find out fascinating things like before Tiffany married and took her husband’s last name, Moon, her maiden name was Sun. D’Andra tries to be nice to Kary, for reasons that I cannot comprehend. She asks about her daughter and why she didn’t tell her what was going on with her. Kary say that D’Andra never asks about what is going on in her life. D’Andra says that is not true. They argue about that. Everyone else does talking heads about D’Andra and they all agree with Kary. D’Andra only talks about herself. Kary whines about being poor because she only married rich. Brandi seems to be trashing D’Andra to Kary. Brandi never picks the right side. Then, Brandi and Kary stand out on the street with Brandi wearing a fake gray beard between her legs trying to get cars to honk. I can’t believe I even typed that sentence.
Drunk Shopping
Next the ladies go drunk shopping. This never ends well. I bought some expensivish contact paper sort of thing to cover my kitchen counter tops. This was a very good idea but I will never be able to apply it properly. We shall see. And I accidentally hit the button twice so I have way too much of it. This store seems to be like an upscale Spencer’s (remember those, old people?) with weird novelty items and such. Then Stephanie starts spanking everyone with a charcuterie board. I take it back. Even young spring breakers are not this immature.

Brandi tells D’Andra that she needs to inquire more about Kary when they talk. Then it is time for dinner. Kameron’s friend Jenn asks if it is okay for her to pour her bottle of near beer in her wine glass because she stopped drinking. Then D’Andra talks about her cocaine usage in her 20s and going to rehab. I think I might need to start an etiquette school for housewives and explain what proper dinner conversation is all about. Cadavers, rehab, suicide, family dysfunction…these are topics that should be avoided. Loud arguments should be avoided. Jesus, none of these people can sing Happy Birthday on key.
Back In Dallas…
Kameron and her dog work out together on the treadmill. Kary hangs out with her daughter. And their conversation is about D’Andra. Apparently, D’Andra said at some point that she is the only one with a viable business. Sophie doesn’t want to talk about the divorce from her father. It’s a sensitive subject. This whole scene should not be on the show. This is a family matter.

Tiffany spends quality time with the kids. They are doing math and jigsaw puzzles. Because, Tiger Mom. She goes upstairs to talk to her husband about being overwhelmed by her job. She is worried that she isn’t spending enough time with the girls. Also, Tiffany feels like she is working too much. Tiffany is still trying to please her parents. She feels like she is not being a good mom. She wants to be more playful with her kids. Tiffany says she had a lonely childhood and she doesn’t want that for her kids. She wants to cut back on her hours. But, she is worried her mother will be disappointed with her.
Next time: More dog training, Stephanie’s new office, and D’Andra and Kary fight more.
Brandi and Kary are gross. Who does that?!
Agree beer.. That Kary just needs to be dropped kicked the fuck out. What a straight up bitch. She’s always been a conniving antagonist who gets off on pushing other people’s buttons just like a bratty 10 year old. She and Leva need to be dropped off together on a remote deserted island far far away.
I watched but it was boring AF. I wish Bravo would do some type of interactive casting and let the viewers do casting for these shows. It couldn’t be any worse than some of the present cast members on the Housewives’ franchises.
I’m disgusted by the honk at us scene. Are these grown women? TT, yes. Certain things aren’t dinner convos. Tiffany reminds me of some friends of mine who had asian tiger moms and feel they can’t please them but feel the guilt for them giving up life in China for them. It’s a catch 22. Kary is so jealous and angry. Enough with her jewelry hobby/enterprise…. they need new people on this show. They are all (excluding Tiffany) vulgar and gross.
LOL funny you should mention Spencer’s — I was recently reading a compilation of former employee’s stories of the most bizarre things they experienced, and one of them said something akin to “I didn’t know piercing ears would be part of the job, I did a few minutes of training by aiming for a dot with the piercing gun and then was let lose”.
Is that even how ear piercings work nowadays? It seems so antiquated to sit in the chair of a Claire’s positioned in the front window so everyone can see you crying as a teenager puts a nail gun up to your ear.
I was six years old when I moved to Libya which made my mother about 46. For some dumb reason, my mother decided to get her ears pierced for the first time when we moved there. They took a hoop earring (not even a stud) and just basically shoved it in her earlobe. She freaked the fuck out and threw up in the street of the souk. But not to be deterred because she could not have just one pieced ear. She continued on and bought herself some giant diamond earrings the next time we went to Beirut. I don’t even remember when I got mine pierced. But I remember that day like it was yesterday. lol.
Sadly, my house was broken into and my Libyan hoop earrings were laying on the table next to the computer they stole because I had received some amazing Tiffany gold studs around that time. I checked the pawn shops for a while but never found them. I wore them every day for years. I must say though now I wear my Tiffany studs and they are much less likely to make me lose an ear. lol.
That’s the sort of training I had when working in a pharmacy when I was 18ish. I would always try to make myself scarce when a customer came in for it. Never shaken so much in my life.
I don’t know that I believe the ladies concerning D’Andra. She may not be as engaging, but I doubt that she never asks about them.
Kary is the new LeeAnn. Weirdly aggressive. Instead of being accountable for her behavior she has to throw up some emotional deflection. She had to bring up her child’s problems!? Just awful. She spent the whole day attacking D’Andra and Tiffany, and now they have to apologize and feel sorry for her. It’s BS.
I’m not bothered at all by their childish antics. I’d much rather watch them act silly and sorta gross then listen to them scream at each other.
I would rather have LeeAnne than Kary. That was a huge mistake by Bravo. I forgot what she did. I am sure it was something racist. But we have a shit ton of racists in Congress. I don’t think we should have to pretend they don’t exist. It’s supposed to be REALITY after all.
Me too. Kary is awful! She behaves like a Frat boy. Does anyone know why Jennifer Davis doesn’t drink?
I mean what do you need to know? Didn’t she say she had a problem or was worried she would and stopped? She is getting dragged on Twitter for not talking much. But that is production. She’s a friend. I kind of like her being the sane person on the show… But I’m in the minority there.
I just heard Stephanie say something about getting Jenn something different to drink. I was just curious if she had an illness, such as being allergic. I googled her and she is going through a divorce?
I’d rather have Leann anyday over Kary. Mary is bitter and rude and why does she keep saying she will be poor if her husband divorces her? I find that odd. Outing her daughter was gross. Her jewelry is ugly I’m sorry but it is. I’m kinda liking Tiffany so far. I don’t really get why the other ladies are letting Kary get away with her rude behaviour.
Kary’s daughter looked SO uncomfortable talking on camera why can’t Kary see that? Kary seems EXTRA annoying this season. She brings nothing to the show, Leann was better.
Tiffany does talk about herself A LOT but since she is the newbie I think she’s just getting her feet wet and it will calm down some so I am giving her a pass right now.
We need a good Kameron episode.
These rich bitches from Dallas cornered the market on stress, grief, sadness, mom guilt, etc. A former friend of mine was like this and I called her a one-downer (as opposed to a one-upper) because her day was always worse than everyone else. Her job the most stressful. She was the busiest with the least amount of time in the day. D’Andra, Kary, and Tiffani are especially guilty of this.
Other thoughts:
I liked the panty game, even if we were served some disgusting images. I thought it was cute and something I would do with my friends but I also acknowledge that I’m a weirdo.
Kary was ridiculous to bring up how exposed Tiffani is to COVID in the middle of an argument. It’s one thing to ask or bring it up out of concern, but to use it as a weapon is a low blow.
I think Kary’s attitude toward Tiffani definitely has some jealousy roots. Kary is in a position where she has no skills (jewelry making included.. sorry that’s mean but eek), no income, and relies 100% on a husband that has a cheating past. Tiffani on the other hand can be self-reliant due to her job and salary.
Also, has Kary gotten a divorce yet? This is the second season in a row that she’s mentioned having nothing if Eduardo leaves her. There’s also something about needing hot men (but were they?) to spray champagne on you at your 50th birthday party in a white bathing suit that doesn’t scream “I’m happy in my marriage.”
Still my favorite housewives franchise though! Other than NY, I think these women are actually the most connected and, based on IG, seem to see each other occasionally when they aren’t shooting.
Kary had the same worries/complaints last season about not owning anything (like a house) because everything is in Eduardo’s name. And having no money. She absolutely crossed the line with her comment about her daughter being suicidal. And she admitted to Sophia only that she said the other daughter was depressed or something. Does she forget it will be on national tv? Aside from her annoying voice, I wish she would stfu. She is constantly screaming over everyone else in attack mode. I agree she has no story.
Tiffany is sort of annoying. I am impressed with her accomplishments and her parents’ giving up their careers to come to the US. Big sacrifice. I don’t love the few tik tok clips I’ve seen of her imitating her mother with a strong Chinese accent. I know we are allowed to poke fun at ourselves, but she is not funny and going too far. I do think she’s pouring it on — her wealth, her closet, that pile of diamond carier bracelets she wears, the expensive car she bought her mother, her “guilt” over her girls etc. But there are so many professional women who work long hours and raise kids. (I did — lawyer and 4 kids.) But she has help (as did I) and a supportive husband (me too). I imagine it would be far easier for an anesthesiologist to cut back hours, as she doesn’t have long term patients, than it would for e.g., doctors with patient practices, lawyers with clients and ongoing litigation, etc. She should try taking on fewer surgeries. I kind of think she’d be back to work full time soon. She’s driven.
I enjoy Kameron. Didn’t we decide she is really smart? Are her mispronunciations of words in confessionals an act?
Not loving D’Andra. She is self-centered. Jen is pretty much a non-entity at this point. Love Steph and mostly enjoy Brandi. At least we did not revisit the video this episode.
Cartier bracelets, and I am very jealous of them.
What happened between Deandra and Kary, they were BFF last season, what happened in between seasons??
Am finally caught up, usually wait for 3/4 episodes so I can binge…hate the week to week wait & commercials.
Wasn’t Kary on Below Deck? Or did I imagine that….
Not a fan of hers – shut up.
As someone who lives in Dallas – so want this to be great, but there is zero chemistry.
Leanne was let go for her ‘chirpy Mexican’ comment ……she’s definitely missed. I mean getting engaged at Texas State fair with corn dogs, all in. BTW Fletchers corn dogs are the best, FYI.
Holding out, Kameron has flipped me into liking her – not sure my dogs would care if their food was pink or not. As we 5 share a pizza now.
Eduardo seems like a nice enough guy. I find it very hard to believe he is cheap with her or she has no allowance or even child support from her kid’s fathers. I know all too well there are cheap men out there but Eduardo doesn’t strike me as one. It’s great Kary wants to earn her own income but whining about it like you don’t have a roof over you and your children’s heads during Covid is just yuck.
The immaturity of this show is so annoying. Why are they so goofy and gross? It goes back to the very first season. It’s like they go out of their way to look classless. I mean bathroom humor, a head on a stick, poop on a hat- who wants to watch grown rich women act this ridiculous. No one past the age of 9 would find this funny.? Such a waste!
After watching Tiffany on WWHL, my opinion of her has softened. I don’t care for her constantly mentioning her accolades and such, but she has earned them. And while I can’t stand her broken baby doll meets valley girl way of talking, she is far too good for this group. She must be very much out of her comfort zone, so props to her for diving in.
Agree that this franchise is rather boring featuring a bunch of rich women who act like teenagers. All they do is have parties at each other’s house spending loads of money for themes. The talk about their vaginas was so gross and I couldn’t believe they actually had a show and tell moment. My least favorite is Kameron with that ridiculous pink everything. Next is Brandy with those funny eyes and her super immature behavior. This one is a fail.
Kameron is my favorite! She’s pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes with her goofy girly act. Make no mistake. She is one smart cookie. She manages to draw attention for her silly persona and none of her real life is exposed.
