In tonight’s RHOD recap, it is time to wrap up the trip to Austin. We begin in the middle of a conversation between Brandi and Tiffany. I believe it started with Brandi telling Tiffany that she didn’t feel she could be herself around her or something. Tiffany lists a string of things she likes about Brandi and then asks her what she thinks about her. Brandi just mumbles something about Tiffany being an amazing person but she feels like she is holding back around her. Tiffany feels like Brandi feels shame everytime she sees her and there is nothing she could do about that.
Kary wants everyone to hold hands and jump in the lake together as a sign of unity. No one really wants to do it. But they do. Tiffany is miserable getting out of the lake. She goes straight to her room. The girls go to check on her and she is crying and says she is just tired. Tiffany finally has a breakdown with D’Andra. Tiffany is just under too much stress. She working crazy hours in the pandemic. And she is filming the show full time. Also, it is the first time she left her kids for a weekend. And what set it off wasn’t so much Brandi, but she feels like her castmates so like her and she doesn’t fit in. Despite all of her accolades and accomplishments, she still feels insecure and worthless on the inside. WOW.
Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity Jog
The next morning Stephanie had to leave early for some reason. Probably to miss the bus ride home. Also, Tiffany left early without telling anyone except D’Andra. Apparently, nothing happened on the ride home because the next scene everyone is back in the big D. Tiffany unpacks and wipes every single thing down with disinfectant wipes. Even the soles of her shoes. Brandi is such a bitch. Tiffany went to many different schools and was always the new kid. I get it, I went to three first grades, two fifth grades and two seventh grades. I think. I,ve blocked most of those “new kid” memories. I am unmoved by Brandi’s letter to herself. Let’s just move on.

Stephanie has Kary bring her daughter, Olivia, to chat with her about her mental health. I’m going to fast forward through this. Next we see D’Andra’s mom stop by to visit her daughter and hear about the trip. Her mom thinks everyone is jealous of her, or of D’Andra. D’Andra is planning to have the shaman come to her house and do a session with the other ladies. For once, I’m down for all the idiots getting saged and whatnot.
Who Is This Woman And What Have You Done With Kary?
Kary seems like a lovely human being. What’s up with that? Why is she having Tiffany over for champagne by the pool? What’s her ulterior motive? Oh there is the real Kary. I thought she was going to try to understand why Tiffany left and support her for a minute there. What was I thinking? Kary just wanted to make her feel bad about leavings. She says she felt disrespected because she didn’t get a goodbye. UGH. She said leaving was rude and disrespectful and demands to know why she did it. Tiffany says she was embarrassed by her emotional outburst and she didn’t want to rehash it on the bus. Kary offers to throw her a birthday party.

It’s time for the Shaman Shindig. Apparently three years ago the shaman was Stephanie’s hairdresser. He used to be cute. Brandi feels embarrassed about her conversation with Tiffany. So, it looks like they are both looking for closure. God knows I am. The ladies all arrive in white dresses, and allegedly sober. Then Tiffany gives everyone an apology candle. Brandi asks to speak with Tiffany privately. And that is…to be continued. And next week looks even weirder.
I am not watching, but I feel like everyone has stripper names.
Pretty much. I miss the old crew. š

I like Dr Moon. Housewives whose entire job is the show, or revolve around promoting whatever business on the show become lame after their first season. Dr Moon has layers. If she leaves after this season I will quit watching Dallas. This franchise is going the āparty!ā route of New York and petty drama of Beverly Hills. Potomac has stories and Atlanta is still more than BS storylines (but Iām close to quitting them too). It just seems that since the pandemic, plus all the great scripted shows on all the streaming services and premium channels, repetitive reality drama without new stories is a waste of time and energy. Maybe this is another reason why I enjoy Drag Race or Top Chef so much. New contestants every season and some great repeat judges to hold down the fort.
What occurred to be tonight was how vapid and empty all the others are compared to Tiffany who works her ass off, worked through this pandemic non-stop with a supportive husband and 2 children while helping out her mother and filmed full-time. The others? What the hell do they do all day long? Kary sleeps till 10:00 a.m.? Listen, I have been retired since 2001 and I STILL get up at 6:30 a.m. every morning, and don’t sit still all day long. Kamaron getting hair and make-up done by hired help before going to a monday party with some sketchy as shit shaman was disgusting. Why can’t these people do their own hair and make-up? Are they that inept? Did they ever have a real damn job? Tiffany’s work ethic, I believe, makes them all feel useless. What the hell do any of them contribute to society except making the shareholders of alcohol companies happy…. And PS, Brandy is an idiot. Her letter sounded like something a 12 year old would have written. Not a 42 year old.
I had visions of being a cute old lady who got up at the but crack of dawn, made coffee and read the paper, did the crossword puzzle and maybe joined the garden club.
Instead, I’m fat as a pig, sleep until 2 pm some days after being up all night working on the site or just fucking around.
I’m still hopeful my visions will come true instead of doing too many crossword puzzles online at 3 am.
TT, you work all night. Of course you sleep late…. I’m in bed by 10:00 p.m. My point is that these other women don’t do anything.
This!! šš»
I agree with you 100% GiGi. Tiffany is so way above these woman. I’m not sure what she is even doing on this show. I actually think Mama Dee was trying to point that out to D’Andra and it went way over D’Andra’s head. There is more to life than Birkens, glam squads and girl trips.
I can’t stand Brandi, never could. She is an idiot and she is mean. I used like this show, but it is so boring this year. How many birthday parties have there been? We are in a pandemic people!
I think thatās why Dāandra an Tiffany are drawn to each other They both have very very tough mothers for different reasons and with different causes..But both must be brutal as a child on your self image and confidence. I semi blame DāAndrea mom for her failure to launch…She will never be good enough for a mother.. Oddly Tiffanyās parents are similar except for they want monetary payback In the form of cash cars and homes…Crazy
Yup
what about D”andra getting cash from her mom then blowing it on clothes and bullshit healing crap? How much are those thousand oils she uses every day. and the feather on a stick? I can sell her one of my cats’ toys and she can do the same thing.
I agree. It was disgusting that momma Dee had to give D’Andra money. What about her husband is Dee paying for him too. Disgusting

I rarely watch this show, because as a sane Texan, it’s masochistic. Especially after the past month or so. Hell, after the last 20 years minimum.
I just had to check out the hairdresser/shaman and chart D’Andra’s “journey” from Robert Jeffress, one of the worst of Trump’s religious bigot charlatans, to an entirely different type…
I’m not entirely sure I understand your comment. But I feel like I have a similar feeling about RHOA and Married to Medicine as someone born and living in the ATL.
Yep. It’s been tough on Twitter this month, with bluechecks etc telling us we deserve to freeze to death, followed closely by we shouldn’t get any vaccines…
With these women, we’re sending not our very best (except Tiffany)
I appreciate your screen name so much. lol. I am not sure I can stay up long enough to recap RHONJ or whatever is on my plate tonight. So my exhaustion may be making me miss the point. Who wants you to freeze to death? Are you in Texas? Also, I have been accused of being anti vaccine in the past because I feel like we over vaccinate our children in the US and one of those vaccines crippled my niece for life. I am VERY leary of vaccines, but I will get the COVID vaccine. As did the mother of my niece whose child is disabled since the age of two over the vaccine. So I see both sides.
Thanks! Yours is cool, too!
I am in TX. Keith Olbermann thinks we deserved to freeze to death and Michael Moore thinks we don’t deserve the vax since our gov lifted the mask “mandate”, all precautions, and allowed everything to open 100%. Their fans heartily agreed, as did many of our Twitter “friends”, which was disappointing/enraging for many Texans. We’re not outvoted, we undervote here. You know…
Brandiās letter she never wants to be selfish anymore. Should have read before the Austin trip
Brandi was wrong to confront Tiffany at that dinner. And Tiffanyās response was perfect. This white guilt thing Brandi is doing is old news and people are tired of it. I think thatās why Brandi quit because she couldnāt get over herself and her lame comedy acts with Stephanie had worn thin and she had nothing left to offer. As @gigi said sheās not a grown ass adult but still stuck at 12 years old. I found the episode to be absolutely infuriating.
When Brandi’s daughter has to be the voice of reason, you know Brandi is not the adult in the household. Last week when the ladies (and I use that term loosely) confronted Tiffany about “bragging” about her toilets I thought it was uncalled for but it seems to be the way they do things. This week Kam threw out there that she was wearing $2,000 sandals and was taking them off before jumping into the lake. I didn’t notice anyone telling her to stop bragging.
D’Andra’s husband has the best sense of humor. I enjoy watching the two of them together. Kary pointing out to Tiffany that she was rude for going home without saying goodbye was laughable. I think Stephanie speaking with Kary’s daughter was helpful but I’m still uncomfortable with these reality show families exposing their children’s issues with the world.
I thought they were going to attack her when she said she was going to leave her I think she said Valentino? Chantal? scarf in the car. But people breeze by it when she mention $2000 sandals. How the hell can you waste $2000 on a pair of flip flops š©“ ..I could not be rich because I would always be comparing it to how much bills, mortgage, insurance etc iāve couldāve cleared up instead of those shoes. I feel guilty when I got a Keurig and now use the Keurig pods..I know I could fill it up cheaper using coffee ..but I just want to treat myself goddamnit!
What on earth is poor Tiffany doing with this crew? She is so much more evolved. I don’t think they’re ever going to ease up on her, so she best just get out with her head held high.
What is everyoneās problem with Tiffany on this show? Why is okay for Kameron to correct people on etiquette but not okay for Tiffany to correct Kam on vocabulary? I donāt think Tiffany is definitely missing a certain layer of couth but these women have no problem with Katyās bullying.
Iām actually a bit disappointed in Stephanie. As someone with mental health issues, Iām having a hard time understanding why she lets everyone pile onto Tiffany. Itās making this show almost unwatchable.
Is this the new theme of HW? Finding one person to gang up on each season so they secure their spots for the next one? I donāt like it at all and I desperately miss the days when they brought in new housewives that were actually connected to one another like RHONY.
Edit: I think Tiffany is definitely missing a certain layer of couth. And please for the love of god someone correct me if Iām saying/spelling couth wrong because my iPhone keeps underlining it in red and telling me Iām an idiot.
Your iPhone is bullying you. š
Absolutely!! The issue Kam has with Tiffany correcting her is that she thinks Tiffany is saying these things from a place of superiority. Every single thing Kam says about etiquette or someoneās lack of class/manners is coming from a place of superiority. Same!
I think Tiffanyās boasting comes from a place of complete insecurity. Itās obnoxious and I couldnāt be friends with someone like that, but underneath it I think she believes it can ābuyā her friends. She is unable to make authentic connections with people so she shows off her money to see if that works, instead. Itās sad and I think in the moments where sheās speaking to someone in a serious tone (at the Austin dinner table towards Brandi), her real self comes out. An intelligent, well spoken woman. Itās a shame she thinks the rich valley girl Paris Hilton act is what will work, when her real self is so much better.
