After a one week inexplicable hiatus, it’s time to catch up with the RHOD. It is the second night of the trip to Austin, and this RHOD recap resumes with the dinner brawl under the full moon. The ladies all seem to have issues with someone and it is time to air it all out. I can’t wait to see how this plays out. D’Andra has already stormed off. Kary goes to get a drink. That leaves Tiffany and Kameron and Stephanie. Both our girls have issues with Tiffany’s condescending behavior. Stephanie says that all of her rules at the her pizza party and all of her bragging made her feel unwelcome. Tiffany says she loves rules. Tiffany seems to have a bit of realization over that.
DON’T Correct Me If I’m Wrong…
Then Stephanie mentions that Tiffany’s constant correcting of people’s word usage, particularly Kameron is rude. Tiffany apologizes and says she doesn’t even know she is doing it. So please bring it to her attention the next time. YAY! This is how differences should be handled. It should have ended there But it didn’t. Which is annoying because I want these three to be the core of the group! Tiffany uses her intelligence to make other people feel stupid. But the truth is Kameron is smarty and for whatever reason has decided to channel Lucille Ball since she began the show. So she can’t really break character now.

Tiffany goes into a whole tirade about how she wants to teach everyone how to use words correctly. Tiffany is like those annoying people who want to come in and complain about other peoples typos in posts or comments. Never in the history of life has anyone appreciated those types of people. As Kameron says, what do you get out of that. Tiffany (and grammar Nazis?). It’s not coming from a good place ever. It’s coming from a place of meanness. Tiffany doesn’t need to be the educator at the table. She needs to be a friend. And so far, she kind of sucks at it. Also, I could beat her on Jeopardy. Did she just say, “Okay I will just never correct you and just let you be wrong.”
Lez Be Friends
Oh Lord, Kary is back. And so is Brandi with Captain Dick. Tiffany wants someone to go check on D’Andra and Kameron gets the short straw. Kameron is so sweet to D’Andra though. She tells her that Kary does want to be her friend. She talks D’Andra into staying in Austen and talking with Kary soberly the next day. Kary and Brandi drunkenly dance with a the blow up Captain Dick. They are both so very emotionally stunted. Those too were up until dawn humping Captain Dick and breaking shit until 5 am.

The next morning Captain Dick is not the only one feeling deflated. D’Andra is fresh as a daisy listen to an audio of her shaman helping her meditate. I am starting to like weird shaman guy. I could use that meditation tape. The next morning they all hula hoop. Kam wins the hula hoop challenge and this really pisses off Tiffany. She cannot STAND to lose. Especially, to my girl Kam. The girls get ready for a houseboat cruise. Production is doing and excellent job of coming up with great setting in the pandemic.
It’s Called A Hangover, Not Motion Sickness
Before they even leave for the house boat, someone of them are wasted on tequila. There is a hot tub on the houseboat! Everyone is worried about being seasick. Tiffany, the brainiac doesn’t seem to realize that you don’t get seasick on a lake. They are on Lake Austin! Not a cruise ship in the Atlantic. Nevertheless, Brandi passes out Zofran to everyone because they are all nauseous despite still being at the dock. Tiffany tells everyone that it will dissolve under their tongues. Alas, it is a pill that they need to swallow. What they .really need to do is puke and rally like normal people. And stop drinking tequila for breakfast.

Somehow Brandi is all kinds of upset. She thinks that Tiffany saying that it was not the sublingual verison of Zofran. This whole thing makes no sense. Moving on, Brandi wants to teach D’Andra and Kary something she learned in her “treatment for being a racist.” This should be interesting. But probably not this interesting. Basically, the face each other, put their hand on the other’s heart and close their eyes and tell each other what they love about each other. They both cry and love each other and make up. FOR NOW. In their talking heads they both say the same things. You always hurt the ones you love. And their friends are their family.
Tell Me S’more!
Tiffany talks about all the hurtful things that have been said to her at work. By the way HWSNBN called Covid THE CHINA VIRUS again, despite all the horrific attacks on Asians that he is responsible for. On another part of the boat Brandi is whining about not knowing what not to say around Tiffany. It’s simple Brandi. Don’t say the racist stuff.

Kameron has a whole plan worked out to scare the girls to get back at them for all the years of pranks they have pulled on her. She has the hotel staff in on her drama. They are going to tell ghost stories by the water and when she says, “Gurrrrrllllll that is so frightening, someone will coming running out with a scary mask and a chainsaw ala Texas Chainsaw massacre. I do agree with Tiffany when she says Brandi asks like she is five and has immature humor. Kameron’s scary ghost story is not scary at all. Brandi is the next to tell one. No one is scared. Nevertheless, the chainsaw guy comes out and Tiffany claims she shit herself. Stephanie peed herself. Then they all go to bed.
And Your Enemies Closer
Now that Kary and D’Andra are fast friends again, and it is a free day, Steph, Tiffany and Kam go for a ride in a convertible. And go for a hike. Kam says she went to outdoor school for middle school. She slept in a tent. That sounds like one of those places that Dr. Phil sends wayward teens. I love her more for that. Stephanie is finally impressed by Tiffany when they pee in the woods. Then they have a snack. Tiffany says she really appreciates being pampered instead of being the caregiver all the time. Kam talks about the sale of her house but she feels like she is not included in the process. Kam also wants a bigger voice in the marriage. Tiffany wants to be a stay at home mom. She has mom guilt and want to cut back her hours to have one day off.

Meanwhile, Kary, Brandi and D’Andra sit by the lake and chat. Then the final morning comes with a huge fancy breakfast. And of course drinks. Maybe it is brunch, or lunch. What ever it is, I want it. Brandi confronts Tiffany and asks her if she feels awkward around her. I think Brandi feels bad about her Asian debacle. Tiffany says she doesn’t. But Brandi still seems to be dealing with a bit of shame and embarrassment. She says that see feels guarded around her like she can’t be herself. Tiffany says that she never thought that Brandi intended to hurt anyone when she made the video. The episode ends with Tiffany asking Brandi what she thinks about her.
Then we see in a preview for next week, Tiffany crying and packing her stuff and going home.
This is clearly the precursor to Brandi quitting.
Thank for such a great recap of RHOD. I feel like you recap this show and Top Chef just for me and I am here for it.
Aw Thanks, MsCarly! I feel like March is starting to life me out of a year of gloom. and I am BACK!
Same, girl. Same.
I heard finches this morning in the Finger Lakes of NY. Spring!!!!
I actually got sea sick on a Lazy River at a water park one time. I had my body through the tube, legs dangling, and my head laying on the tube. I was so relaxed. Before I knew it, I felt sick as a dog from the rocking of my tube. Hadn’t been drinking either. That was a first! Usually the only things I get any type of motion sickness from are amusement rides that spin round & round.
Great Recap!!! Did Tiffany really poop her pants?
This whole Brandi acting afraid to be “herself” to Tiffany is production driven. These ladies are entertaining enough without production fake drama.
Let them be, let them entertain us, that’s all.
I loath people who correct other people’s grammar, pronunciation and word usage. It is beyond rude and a conversation spoiler. I know a lot of people that do that.
As for Tiffany, I really don’t understand why she is on this show. She does not fit in with the other ladies. Go back to practicing medicine Tiffany.
I completely agree! I think that they were trying to be politically correct and bent to social pressure to include someone of color.
Wow, I cannot believe what I am reading. You want to roll back the diversity in casting?
Tiffany has been a hilarious edition and welcome breath of fresh air to the show. She never fails to crack me up at least once per episode.
what about Tiff’s valley girl voice? Can we correct that? I always tell people who correct grammar or how they say the word or how it’s used and they decide to correct it, I always look at whoever decided to correct me and say “Wow, thanks. I knew I messed up but what I really meant to say is that you are an asshole.” Who the fuck do they think they are doing this to anyone? It is one of my HUGE pet peeves that riles me up in seconds flat. We had an aunt growing up who used to send our little kid letters back to us with her corrections marked in red ink. Swear to God. They are all so fucking sensitive on this show. Is it all production driven?? I read Tiff isn’t coming back…
You are too funny! How annoying that your Aunt did that. Ugh. People that are always correcting other don’t realize they are being so rude. I also think they are insecure and have to show everyone how smart they are. I now ignore them…..they hate that.
Oh I get lovely emails after nearly every recap from people pointing out all of my typos and mistakes. I’m like, Bitch, You try to write a thousand word recap include links and photos in an hour while drinking copious amounts of wine and looking at the TV and get back to me.
When it comes to recaps that you’re trying to get out in a hurry, as long as I can figure out what you’re saying, I con’t care about typos. That’s a case where it’s really rude to point them out.
I love your recaps!
TT, I thought everyone knew that you type furiously and don’t waste time on corrections. We all know what you meant to say anyway. I’m amazed at the balls of some people.
Oh, Gigi, no! Not return letters with corrections – in red ink, no less! Too funny!
Gigi – oh, my gawd. That auntie of yours likely has diagnostic issues. I wonder what your mom said about that one? My moms reaction to that kind of passive aggressive bs would have been a face that said everything! Typically one steers away from ppl like them their. Lol. 😀
I have to admit that I have to control myself when someone doesn’t spell a word correctly, mispronounces a word or just plain uses the wrong word. It comes from years of proofreading articles before they go to print. I don’t correct anyone unless they ask me specifically if they’re using the right word or if they’re pronouncing it correctly. That being said, one of my friends is constantly using the wrong words when she’s trying to impress someone she’s just met. She’ll claim her nephew’s educational background as her own. He has a doctorate but when she’s talking about it she’ll say she has her “doctor in from William & Mary.” She’s usually saying that to people who actually do have doctorates and you can see them lose interest in talking to her when she says that.
I felt sorry for the household staff that had to clean up after these ladies. These are grown ass women, not college freshmen off on a wild spring break. I did enjoy the show, and, as always, your recap was spot on. I’m looking forward to seeing why Tiffany gets so upset that she leaves the house.
OMG, “Doctor in” ?? BWAAAAAAA My whole life I always wanted to know why about everything. So why? Why do people (I know it’s insecurity) have to pretend they have a degree? Does it mean you are really that smart or can just memorize a lot of stuff?
I think it is due to a basic insecurity about her own lack of a college education. One conversation with her and it’s pretty clear that she’s lying but she seems to think they believe her. Having a degree is meaningless if you don’t have common sense so bragging about where you went to school doesn’t impress me at all.
I don’t mind being corrected if it’s because someone wants to understand what I’m communicating. The intent matters. I can’t remember specifically but when Kam said Tiffany was being some sort of way and misused the term, I think Tiffany was appropriate in making a clarification about what the term meant. However, she did it in a way that was demeaning. Not cool. What I don’t like is when the girls gang up on one person. I don’t think everyone needs to jump on the bandwagon. I’ve noticed that they all jump in when Tiffany is being confronted but when Kary was needling D’Andra during Brandi’s birthday, no one told Kary to lay off. It seems hypocritical to me. I’m having a hard time enjoying any of these shows where people are confrontational for camera time. It makes me anxious.
You hit the nail on the head, Pauline.
The girls really did go in hard on her during this trip. Between Stephanie, Brandi, and Kam, Tiffany just couldn’t catch a break. It was too much. Though there are a couple of annoying quirks Tiffany has, she got overly hammered about all of it within a short dense amount of time. It had to be production driven because I just can’t imagine a group of overly sensitive women constantly whining about every little thing if they are together on a short trip like that. On another note, it is perfectly acceptable and within etiquette protocol to sometimes have beginning and end times on an invitation. That isolated issue shouldn’t have ever even been a thing. The tough part about that one was that Tiffany could have gone about it differently with her words though
I don’t think that was production. Tiffany is a doctor, Asian, and stereotypically SUPER SMART. That had to intimidate all the women. And instead of downplaying it… she shoved that to the forefront telling us all her mental milestones. Then she comes on wanting to correct everyone’s speech? I’m not even on the show and I want to challenge her to a battle of wits.
I love your recaps!
I think Tiffany is just plain socially awkward. Book smart is one thing but being able to navigate social relationships is a different animal. I wonder how her bedside manner is as a doctor seeing how awkward she is with ‘friends’.
Am I the only one doing the Brandi pregnancy math during this episode? She was pregnant when this taped, right? Also adding to my suspicion: the only time I have had Zofran with me was when I was pregnant. And yet, all that drinking? Does anyone know the timeline?
I don’t but it doesn’t look good.
Thank you. Each episode I think that. This was the end of July so she would have been pregnant as she had the baby in February. I can’t believe she is doing all this drinking and is pregnant! Why aren’t more people talking about this??? Awful!
Tiffany is super annoying! No one asked her for help with correcting their grammar or language usage. It would be a different conversation if Kameron had said ‘girl, correct my English so I speak correctly’. However, that is not what happened. I think Tiffany is socially awkward and is trying to figure out how to be friends instead of treating everyone like the voice in her head forces her to treat herself. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be married to her. To be honest, not a fan of Tiffany.
Guys, I like Tiffany. I get her. Education & rules were king in our house. My mother corrected our grammar & manners non-stop. She pointed out the negative regularly and thought the positive was simply assumed. She is a great woman, but came a family of educators where opportunities to improve yourself were welcomed. I have to consciously work on not repeating those behaviors and remember to see the positive first.
Tiffany said she is new to having girlfriends, so she is going to make some mistakes. And, that is a difficult group to crack! I like seeing how a full-time, working mom handles being a housewife.
Brandi’s video did not bother me, as I think it was simple ignorance not hatefulness. But, the fact that she is nervous to talk around Tiffany makes me question her everyday language. If the video is a fluke, what is the problem? Maybe it is Tiffany’s job & education making Brandi feeling insecure? I love having smart, hand-working friends. I hope Brittany can come to appreciate Tiffany and what she brings to the table.
I couldn’t agree with you more. I grew up in a very similar household. I’m hard on everyone because I’m hardest on myself. I’m hardest on myself because my parents were this way with me. I, too, correct everyone’s grammar and word usage (in my head, of course) all the time. It’s automatic. Tiffany is extremely awkward socially and is trying too hard. She’s also allowing her rigid upbringing/mindset to take over and doesn’t realize it’s not the norm with these women. Thankfully most of my friends grew up just like me with families who had very high expectations of us. A large part of my culture is simply that way. But I do admit it’s often hard making friends outside of that. I’m extremely particular about who I enjoy being around and it’s usually those who I have most things in common with. I think Tiffany may need to find a different group of girls.
The episode was taped July 30th as Tiffany states and Brandy had baby Feb 15th. EDC (estimated date confinement) for pregnancy is 280 days. Do the math!!!!! She was with faking drinking and being drunk being served mock drinks OR she was 2 and 1/2 months+ pregnant unknowingly???
This has been bothering me for weeks because I knew Karys birthday was July 15.
Could this be why her IG is usually all religious? Could explain her tag line this year as well.
Whose IG is religious?
I started out not liking Tiffany, and I’ll be damned if she’s not proving me wrong.
One thing I found funny is Stephanie’s problem with Tiffany bragging about the toilet that SHE HERSELF BRAGGED ABOUT a few seasons ago. She had a whole thing in her confessional talking about how much she loves that expensive shitter. I think that the only thing that actually bothered her was the fact that Tiffany had many more of them in her palace of a house.
I don’t think Kameron is faking being stupid or playing a character. With her, WYSIWYG and there isn’t really much going on behind those vacant eyes.
I think that she has a lot going on behind her eyes and between her ears. It takes a lot to know how to survive and navigate in the social circles that her in-laws and extended family are a part of. She might come off a little niave because she is a bit out of touch with the way us blue collar or middle-class type function in life. Quite obviously she isn’t stupid at all. Look where she lives, how she lives, etc.She knows how to manage a domestic staff, nannies, decorate/appoint her extensive household etc. Those types of things take a special skill set for sure. At first I thought she was a stupid, air-headed elitist. However, she’s grown on me because I see that she is quite funny to watch as she works through her own awkardness as she tries to figure out how to maneuver outside of her comfort zone.
