It seems like Cynthia’s 10/10/20 wedding may have just been tacked on to last week’s episode because the previews make it seem like the ladies are celebrating Halloween. Whatever they are doing, Kenya comes to Fallyn’s party in full Native American garb. She will probably get the same backlash Tanya did when she hosted her hibachi party in full on Japanese geisha attire. Or when Luann showed up wearing “too much self tanner” when dressed as Diana Ross. Or when LVP hosted an “Indian Themed” party. And let’s not forget when Monique showed up for yet another Indian party thrown by Karen Huger and she came in Native American attire. Let’s get on with tonight’s RHOA Recap and figure out what is going on.
Kenya’s New BFF Rats Out Latoya For Talking Behind Kenya’s Back
Right off the bat we have Kenya dropping by Marlo’s high-end studio that apparently rents fancy clothes for the evening. Kenya says this is way more Marlo’s lane. I ask a lot of questions in relation to Marlo’s previous, lanes, which aren’t really fit to print. But okay. Oh she was referring to her wigline. Hmm Hmm. Falynn invites them both but Marlo already has plans. As would I. I don’t understand women of a certain age doing Halloween parties. But, I never cared for them much in the first place.

I find Marlo suddenly being all up on Kenya very interesting. She tells Kenya that Latoya was talking about her at the “nieces party.” Even Drew and Porsha thought that was way out of line. Kenya wants to just keep on talking about the sex at the bachelorette party. But, Marlo drops the news about Latoya spilling all of Kenya’s personal business. Le’Archive is grammatically incorrect. It should be L’Archive.
Family Trees
Over and Drew and Ralph’s house, Drew tells her mother she is going to invite the girls down to NOLA on a girls trip. This is actually the second production trip. They actually rented a plane for this one. I was also told they rented a plane for the Charleston trip. So when Kenya says she rented her own plane, she did not. Allegedly. Production had money to spend since there was no overseas trip this year. Drew’s mother gives some family history and let’s us know she was adopted. She’s also 76 with interesting stories about growing up with a white (adoptive) father and traveling by car during segregation. She needs her own show.

Cynthia and Mike meet to chat about their wedding and grab a snack. Mike wants to buy a house in Atlanta together with Cynthia, to have a larger space. Drew calls to invite Cynthia on the NOLA trip. She rattles off the scripted version of the story and claims that Ralph is chartering a plane. Mike says to leave Bolo at home.
Then Drew talks to Ralph at home about her oldest child’s husband wanting to be a part of Josiah’s life. Ralph is fine with it but Drew says Ralph is the only dad he knows and she doesn’t want to disrupt his life. Josiah has only seen his father twice. Once when he was in jail. Good, Lord at the boobs on Drew in her talking head! Why are they having a call with the child on camera. That’s awful. Josiah doesn’t want anything to do with his birth father.
Who Gonna Check Me, BOOOOO!
Falynn has turned her entire house into a haunted house. It’s insane. Cynthia shows up dresses as “hand sanitizer” and enters the house alone until Fallyn jumps out as Medusa. No mam. I would not be coming to this. Kandi comes dressed as a cheetah. I had no idea who she was. Shamea is an astronaut. Cynthia is Native American. Drew is a Cat, from the Broadway Show. Drew is the only one who mentions on camera that Kenya’s look could be offensive. Most people are complaining in their talking heads that after they walked through the haunted house part, they all just sat at the kitchen table where there wasn’t enough food. It was mainly Kandi was was hoping for more food.

Latoya arrives as a dead mermaid. Sounds about right. She demands to be served a drink right away. Then, Latoya says this is the house dating a 65 year old gets you. She continues to get come for Falynn being a bitch and making demands. Then, after several shots, Kenya pulls Latoya to the side to let her know she doesn’t appreciate Latoya gossiping about her divorce. Is Latoya on something? Too much pre-drinking? She came in really hot.
The Party Is Over
Kenya tells Latoya to lower her voice multiple times. Latoya is really messed up on something. Drew already said her driver had too take Latoya home from the “nieces party.” Latoya seems to be hitting on Kenya. But, Kenya is not in the mood to play. Porsha arrives in a cat costume. She doesn’t recognize Kandi either. Kandi had face prosthetics of some sort. Everyone is disappointed in the party. They seemed to think there would be lots of people there. Kenya says that she can’t trust Latoya. Latoya blames Kandi for mentioning it first. Then Kenya gets really loud, after telling Latoya several times she doesn’t raise her voice at people. Kenya storms off.

Everyone seems to be pisssed at Latoya. Porsha sees Kenya for the first time and immediately has something to tell the producers about Kenya’s costume. Latoya decides to bounce either because she knows everyone is turning on her or she needs more of whatever she is on. Porsha offers to walk Latoya out. Latoya wants Kenya to do it. Kenya is NOT having it. So, Porsha gets stuck with the job. Latoya thinks that Kenya is just jealous because they kissed. Porsha has no clue what she is rambling on about. Fallyn walks Cynthia and Kenya walk out together because everyone is over this event.
Latoya storms of just the same way she came in screaming insults at Fallyn from the car. This is more than her just being jealous of Fallyn. Latoya gets out of the car comes back like she wants to fight and Fallyn is ready to clock the shit out of her at this point. The next thing you know, Fallyn is running through the house to get a weapon to kill Latoya with. She choses a golf club. Production is all over her trying to hold her down. Her husband pops up and drags her upstairs. This why Latoya will not be on the next season. If there is one. But they did let her go on the NOLA trip.
It’s evident episode after episode why Drew is a better fit then Latoya. Drew fits in so well, you’d think she was on this show for seasons but Toya is so damn extra and thirsty for that camera time, you can tell she’s desperate and doing and saying things for shock value. Falynn is better than me because Toya was for damn sure disrespectful and I don’t blame Falynn at all for her reaction.
The producers definitely ruined this season cutting out so many scenes and rushing to get to that dumb stripper gate storyline, so if it’s a season 14 they need a new production team. Also Marlo, Drew and Falynn definitely deserve to comeback next season.
Love my girl Moore but she shouldn’t have worn that as a costume. Yes, she has Native American ancestry but that is still a no as a costume. The episode wasn’t bad but I cannot stand Drew. She is very disingenuos and comes off too much like a try hard. It’s become nauseating to watch her, I truly tried. I love Marlo & Kenya’s rekindled friendship & I like that they are being cautious. Marlo can be a guttersnipe & Kenya always sends the girls to the guillotine when they come for her hence I’m ready for Drew’s head to be served on an aluminium platter at the reunion.
Falynn is beautiful beyond words, I hope she has a peach next season especially with what’s happening present day in her life. TT any scoop on the reunion ? Allegedly, they filmed on the 18th or 20th but there’s been no word about it.
P.S. I saw the twitter madness and I hope you’re okay. There were some awful comments & statements made on all sides.
I was just chatting with SOURCE who says they will be filming this coming week. The reunion will absolutely be a shit show. Porsha, Kenya, Kandi, Drew, Cynthia, Marlo, Latoya & Shamea will all attend.
Latoya is on the chopping block. I don’t recall Shamea ever doing a reunion before, but I can’t remember shit and I am glad she is.
I haven’t really been able to pay attention to Twitter. I’m trying to get my taxes done. The madness was from people who don’t follow me and think I am a Trump supporter. For the record the local police here continue to maintain that the shooter’s motive due to a sexual perversion and some sort of religious mental illness and has not been classified as a hate crime. Meanwhile, the city is still grieving and peacefully protesting. The motive of the mentally ill shooter is irrelevant. The bottom line is that Asians are really suffering all over this country thanks to Trump’s constant anti-Asian rhetoric. And we have to do more to stop it than just spew hate at strangers on Twitter.
So, I’m good just hate tax season it literally gives me nightmares and daytime anxiety. But I got a good chunk done today. Progress always makes me feel better.
How exciting TT but a shitshow it shall be & I’m looking forward to it. Shamea seems to have lost the backbone she had when she was on the season 9 reunion roasting Phaedra. This would be her second reunion so I hope she kills it and clears a path for herself instead of being captain save a ho*. I love you TT & I paid no attention to the things being said because I’ve always known your heart by being an avid TT reader, atleast I feel like I do. I’m glad that it’s in your rearview TT, onwards & updwards.
Thanks my friend. My Twitter followers for the most part know me too. Everyone is angry right now for so many valid reasons. I just ignore them. I know who I am and feel no need to respond. I feel like they are somehow protesting Asian Hate by spewing venom at me. Honestly, I hope it makes them feel better. Sadly there is some sort of mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado right now. I haven’t seen any details yet. Things are really difficult for us all right now and screaming at each other isn’t the solution.
Just to be clear, it is not my Followers who are slinging the mud.
God bless you TT for these recaps!!!
Thanks for reading them NLP! 🙂
Seems like Tanya’s exit won’t be spoken about. Much like when Judy Winslow walked up their stairs never to be seen again on Family Matters
Wow! Toya is horrible. I love the fun shade these women give each most of the time but Toya attempts to slaughter and I don’t enjoy that at all. Truly bad behavior. Drinking too much or overindulging in “whatever” is no excuse and not a good look at all. Porsche trying to understand in her talking head was hysterical.
Mean Girls…
I’ve been watching housewives since Deshawn, Lisa, NeNe, Kim and Sharae…That’s right, 1st season/ episode… Kandi was cool, never shady but known to get you all the way together about her and hers…Yeah she was cool until her jealousy of Porsha and Pheadra’s friendship turned her against Porsha… Then she became a Mean Girl….Mean Girls are bullies.. They specialize in tearing other women down. Porsha only retaliated by repeating what Phaedra said about the sex dungeon because of the attacks from the Mean Girls… (fast forward to 2020- 2021 there are more rumors), If you watch the show, you know who the other Mean Girl is…That’s right it’s Kenya.. Cynthia is not a Mean Girl… Cynthia is a follower… She goes along with what the Mean Girls are saying and doing sometimes. Well, this season Cynthia is showing fans that she is not following what is wrong. Mike Hill may have something to do with that.. Cynthia’s fans like her much better when she is not following Kenya. Kenya is smart and beautiful but has some serious emotional issues from her past that are not resolved. She needs to get help because she find pleasure in tearing down other women, especially Porsha… Porsha is a lil wild but has a good heart… Ladies Bravo doesn’t care and will not be held accountable for what our young girls are learning.. # Black Women Uplifting Other Black Women Matters….
Uplift say,
I love you response.
You hit the nail on the HEAD, about Kenya. Well said.
#Black Women Uplifting Other Black Women
I wouldn’t say that Cynthia is a follower so much as a person that doesn’t like conflict and frequently takes what she believes as the easiest route to avoid it. Often that blows up in her face unfortunately.
She wants to be liked by everyone and she generally is until someone wants her to stand on their side of a dispute against another in the group and then she sort of comes off as a deer in the headlights.
Kenya I agree with you on, she had such a hard young life from which she drew a lot of conclusions,and modes of response, and now that she’s older she still inadvertently falls into the patterns of response she held as a child.
They don’t work for her so well a lot of the time but it’s what she knows, what she’s comfortable with and so she lashes out when she feels hurt, and good lord that woman holds a grudge.
But she’s an adult now and she’s learned a lot along the way. Part of what she’s learned is how to extract revenge and she knows those women well enough to be quite effective at it.
She goes after Porsha because Porsha is two-faced she’s doing now what she wrongfully accused Kenya of in the past and Kenya is going for her jugular about it. I really can’t say I blame Kenya for it. I might wish she didn’t, that she found a better way to handle it, but I can’t say I blame her.
We live in a time when Porsha gets to rewrite herself and I suppose good for her but that doesn’t undo the vile nasty things she’s said and done to Kenya and others in the past.
If the universe were fair she would have been fired after physically attacking Kenya. Kenya showed much restraint there because frankly if I had to bet on it she could take Porsha down physically. But this ratchet show let thirsty tired boring and other things I shall not mention Porsha stay on.
Just my offhand impressions from watching the show.
Kenya is sort of a mystery because as she said she’s a private person and keeps her business to herself. That coupled with her tendency to produce herself on the show and I’m never quite sure where she is at any given moment. As an example is it me or is she currently trying to impart the impression that she has lesbian inclinations.
At first with Latoya but then again on the last episode talking to a friend and the friend said you need someone to play with girl we’ll talk about that later. Was that a genuine exchange or did she plan that. I don’t know but it’s there.
Kenya is horrible. Her Halloween costume choice is in really, really bad taste. She should know better. Has she gotten any flack for it? If a white Bravo star dressed like this they would be draaaagged online. And they would deserve to be!
People keep bringing up Kenya’s costume but fail to mention that it was in tribute, NOT to mock. There’s a difference between a white person putting on black face and attending an “Antebellum” party and someone dressing as she says “a Warrior princess.” Should she have done it? No. Is it a teachable moment? Yes. Also… Drew dressed as an Indian woman (from the country of India…not Native American). To my knowledge, that’s just as disrespectful.
Not trying to start an argument, but quite often someone dressing in a native (of whatever country) is a sign of appreciation or even tribute, as TT pointed out. In Spain, when Americans used to dress in the various folk costumes of the country, NO one was offended. When I was small and I was dressed in a kimono, it was never meant as a disrespect but instead liking it. Quite often dressing like that is a tribute. I think people become confused regarding the difference between appreciation and appropriation. If I wear my sari (I’m Spanish, not even close to Indian), I’m not appropriating that culture. When I visited some Pacific islands, buying the kind of dresses that women there wear was not appropriation. Definitely not disrespectful
In tribute… lol okay. Tell that to actual aboriginal people in North America who are discriminated against, and have endured years of cultural erasing. Black face is never okay. And extravagant native stereotype costumes are not either. Kenya doesn’t care about honouring anybody but herself. She’s oblivious, clueless, and her costume was an ignorant choice.
Nobody spoke up in the moment… Are they all cowards or did they ALSO need to be taught?
Nene begged Kim to dress as a black woman for a photoshoot. Drew dressed as an Indian. Porsha screamed, “Tell a Chinese man you’ll have his baby!” The list goes on… Clearly, there’s some lunacy going around this entire group.
After watching this episode, hell after 10 minutes of it I can’t help but continue to think, and sadly so, that Cynthia’s marriage to Mike won’t last. He’s too controlling, and while she tends to fall for guys like that, at least it seems, him wanting to buy a house in Atlanta is another indicator of it. He doesn’t say “hey honey why don’t we buy a house “together”, no he says He’ll buy a house. The take away for Cynthia was that they’ll have a house together, but in reality he didn’t say that, what he said amounted to I’ll buy a house and you can move into my house. He maintains control, she essentially becomes a long term guest in his house.
Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but I don’t particularly care for him, and he’s shown his temper and control issues on the show before, and that’s when he knew the cameras were on, what’s he like when he knows they’re not there.
Wow, I didn’t get that feeling at all or even hear it that way. But for this round of our general arguing, I’m going to bow out to the guy with the more functional brain.
THIS TIME! 🙂
Lol. I shall endeavor to bow out on occasion as well.
Let’s not get ridiculous….
You are calling it! I agree and Mike and Cynthia. I will remember you wrote this!
Uplift say,
I love your response.
You hit the nail on the HEAD, about Kenya. Well said.
