On tonight’s RHOP recap, we learn a lot more about Mia’s past. Let’s just say it is very interesting. So far I like Mia, what do you think of her?
We start with Robyn ignoring her alarm and not getting her kids up and ready for school. Her kids are home schooling but she only gets up THREE MINUTES before school makes sure he is on the computer and goes back to bed. What about his breakfast? Or him getting dressed for the day? Then she goes back to sleep. Clearly she is depressed and needs to see some. (I’m trying to get in with my previous therapist and the shrink in the same office. We shall see. She’s probably overun with clients these days.) Also, Robyn only got one of the boys out of bed. He is also homeschooling.

What the heck is Karen up to now? She’s got her ring lamp set up and apparently, whatever she is doing Ray is stuck doing it with her. Then, we go straight to Gizelle meeting with a very pregnant Ashley for dessert. Gizelle is concerned that Ashley is going to have a nanny in the house with her husband, Michael and his wandering dick. They start talking about Mia, and I just can’t imagine that she actually had a clitoris reconstruction. I have to believe that is was a labia reconstruction. Either way, OUCH, no thank you. Ashley wonders why whatever she had was necessary since all three of Mia’s births were Caesarian. That is a good point. Apparently, Mia is coming for Gizelle. That’s less than smart. Gizelle is planning a pamper Ashley party. She doesn’t want to invite Karen, but Ashley wants everyone invited.
Getting Caught Up On The Ladies Business Ventures
Next we meet Robyn’s friend, Askale. She’s really pretty. Robyn is still selling hats. I can barely give mine away! LOL. It’s complicated. Props to Robyn on her success. I’m proud of her for getting her product out even though her depression keeps her running behind. She’s still doing it. Wendy comes buy to talk again about her candle business. I’ll believe that when I see it. Mia gossips to her husband. I think her husband is attractive, and not the “old man” they make him out to be. I like Ashale as friend so far. Do you?

I’m shocked that Candiace is doing so well with a house full of kids. Though it seems she passes off most of the work to Chris. Candiace is still pissed at Karen for supporting Monique last season. She needs to get over that. Even the judges determined it was mutual combat. Candiace talks to her mother about her “music career.” Chris is her new manager. Her mother tries to convince her to get a real manager. She tells her mother to but out of her marriage. That’s never going to happen.
Karen Makes The Rounds
Wendy drops by to visit Karen. Instead of chatting in her “luxurious house” she takes Wendy into the basement, err, woman cave. ROFLMAO. Wendy wants business advice from Karen. Wendy wants to be the Black Martha Stewart. This is a hysterical conversation. These RHOP and their “businesses.” Mia talks to her husband and mentions ValenTIMES day. That drives me crazy. It’s what four year olds say. Then, she lets us know that she grew up in foster care due to her mother’s addiction. Now things are starting to make sense. Daddy issues and strip clubs make a lot more sense. Not judging. Just saying I get her now. She working to reconnect with her mother. But it’s hard. That’s heartbreaking.

I’m doing that weird thing where I type a homophone instead of the word I mean. Sorry. I don’t know why that happens. Karen goes to talk to Candiace about the Monique Situation. She sees the lovely house that I’m sure her mommy made a huge down payment on. Just my opinion. Karen says that Candiace seems to be at peace. She uses that statement to confront her about Monique. Karen stands by her neutral position. Candiace has a triangle napkin for her fake tears at the ready. Candiace says that she still can’t trust Karen.
Ashley’s Pamper Party
The ladies all go to the spa to support Ashley who is pretty much due any day. Candiace arrives first and seems to be willing be kind to Ashley since she is about to pop. However, she let’s Gizelle know she is still upset with Karen. Askale is there too even though she doesn’t know anyone except Robin. Karen politely snubs Karen. Very quickly Wendy and Mia get into it. Mia is ready to leave. Wendy is offended because Gizelle is sticking up for Mia. Candiace is also supporting. When Wendy goes for her treatments, Mia admits she was a stripper when she met her husband. She did not get on a pole. It was a five star restaurant and it was more of and escort type. No one believes her.

Karen says she wants a stripper pole. Gizelle, the host leaves the party early. They all say a prayer. Next week, Gizelle reaches out to Mia but she is not responsive.
Oh, gosh. There’s already so much going on with Mia, and overall they’re really packing a lot of action into each episode. Whatever the producers are doing with RHOP, they might as well keep doing it, because at least this shitshow makes for good TV.
Wendy has truly lost it this year. Her need for Bravo bucks is going to ruin any real reputation she had. Her reaction to Mia is ridiculous. it as though she wrote out lines to throughout beforehand and she needs to make sure she says them all so she can’t hear anything anyone else is saying. And then to say she was defending Giselle shows she doesn’t even listen to herself. She started reprimanding Mia for being friendly toward Giselle, how was this a defense.
Wendy is trying too hard. At least last year’s story line was her 4 degrees. This year she has… candles. And a new hairline.
It’s like she read the real housewives handbook from over break. Everyone has much better makeup their second season, and Wendy looks amazing! But she has lost her entire persona! She came back as a barbie-wannabe who wants to make candles but can’t handle criticism? Huh??? Personally, I liked Wendy with a brain. I agree PortiaP! Trying WAY too hard! She feels completely scripted.
Well, there is Happy and Ness. What the actual fuck???
Wendy just isn’t likable no matter what story line she creates. Don’t tell me how smart you are, how beautiful, or how entrepreneurial you are – do that *ish and we’ll notice and admire. Her problem is she has to find a way to let folks know she’s above them.
I have enough arrogant family members in my life. I don’t need Wendy’s arrogant ass invading my TV on Sunday nights.
Thank you Tt for the recap. Candiace’s makeup artist likes her as much as we all do.lol..that makeup is so bad, makeup she couldn’t afford a decent makeup artist with the new mortgage….
Mia is very interesting. Wendy’s brand – whatever that is- will suffer the longer she is on this show….she is no Betheny and this show will not be a launching pad for her business ventures.
I thought it was just me, can someone explain the orange eye circle????
I could not agree more. It is hard to hear her because that makeup is a distraction. Also, Candiace does not appear to be mature enough to understand that just because Karen did not unconditionally “take her side” with the Monique situation, does not make her less of a friend.
The fights/clashes this year are making little to no sense to me. It seems like they are fighting to draw attention to themselves, self promotion, grab camera time and insure future paychecks. I realize that it was the RHO has become to some extent but give us some context or build up or some flow of conversation and interactions that don’t involve poke, prod, insult, shade every single moment.
I’m so bored of this season and these ladies. I don’t know why I keep watching. All their interactions are produced and planned and I don’t see any genuine friendships. This episode was so dull! Nothing happened!
Clearly the producers have told Wendy to step it up. And she is, but not in a good way.
“Zen Wen” is a joke. 🤮 when you refer to yourself in third person 14 times in one episode…..
What happened to Gizelle’s businesses? She look like she dont have a job, just like Chris. Mia is fake and doing to much. Wendy need to come down. She cant protect Gizelle when she all in Karen face. I think she wants all of Karen attention. She dont want to share with Mia.
Interesting that the trailer showed Giselle bringing up the Eddie rumours to Ashley when they were having a bite, but the show didn’t air that.
Robyn needs a pink slip, she does nothing but co-sign for Gizelle….she is Boring, Gizelle is trying to be a Porsha Williams, girl you are not….Stop!!!….you are too old for all this hate….you are making the show boring and easy to watch something else….Ladies, please you have been on the show long enough, get it RIGHT!!!!…Bravo, get rid of Robyn!
This episode was “okay”. Mia is already to much! Like she is a open book, no excitement, no “let’s know more” she is just a open book, no wonder the clit has had several “reconstruction” surgeries, she is tooo OPEN lol. She thinks it’s cute, it’s not honey!!
I love Wendy, she definitely has fire this year! Way to go Wendy, I’ll buy your candles, I’m loving the name of it too, just need to know how to pronounce it lol
Candace, I like you girl. Just stay out of trouble this season. Work on your singing and acting career. You have matured this year ALOT, be yourself and don’t get caught up in all your emotions.
I like Robyn, she is cool to me. She may be depressed, but maybe that’s another episode. Her hats are off the chain too.
Gizzelle and Karen, y’all too old!!! Get it together like GROWN WOMEN DO! Y’all are too damn old smh…..
I can’t stand when the newbies tell their “stories” like it is the first time their husbands had ever heard of them. Mia discussing her childhood with “G” like she was telling him something new is just too forced and ridiculous. They have three children together….this cannot be the first time they have had this heart to heart.
Wendy….you are feeling yourself waaaaay to much. So much so, that no one else has room to feel you at all. I don’t. Telling someone not to make threats and then your next sentence is a in fact a threat??….go back to school because you still can’t “READ”.
Proud of Karen for stickng to her guns. Do not apologize if you are not sorry. Candyass never takes accountablility and I have never heard her apologize to anyone (except a fake one to Ashley after she dragged her while she was pregnant), so don’t expect anyone else to apologize to you hun….especially when you don’t deserve it. You don’t trust Karen because she doesn’t agree with you? Good luck finding real friends then, you spoiled little brat.
Is this Monique talking?
If you can read, my name is AndyLee. Are you Candyass’ street teamer?
I find it hard to imagine that Candiace has fans. So, it’s probably her. IJS.
True story! haha
And how do you invite someone to your house expecting them to apologize? Candyass needs to decide if she’s a victim or a thug cause that lethal mouth of hers is all gangsta and she’ll be treated accordingly. Can’t have it both ways.
And while Candiance’s mother seems borderline emotionally abusive, she was spot on with the husband/manager thing.
I agree with Karen. Why take sides in drama that doesn’t concern you? I applaud her for sticking to her guns. Laying hands on someone is never okay but Candyass can’t pretend she didn’t help create the issue by engaging in the first place.
This season is really good. I think Mia adds to the show since she is so in love with herself. I bought Robins hat, the really are good for your hair and cute and comfy. Karen is wrong and should have stuck with Candace because violence isn’t the answer. And Candace…what’s up with that crazy eye makeup and lashes? Candace is pretty why ruin it? Karen adds nothing to the show and can’t be trusted all the names she called Giselle was uncalled for, I think Karen is jealous of Giselle
Candiace proves my theory that if your mother can’t even spell your name correctly on the birth certificate, well…
I’ll wear one of your hats! Let us know how to get one! Love you TT!!
I’m really enjoying the season so far. The editors are doing a great job pointing out every little hypocrisy and the Gizelle/Karen feud is as fun as ever. I also disagree with people blasting Wendy. I think she is more true to herself this season than she was last; there is an opening now for me to actually like her. yes she’s doing the most, but whatever I don’t mind.
I’m also quite interested in Eva I have to say. The story about her mother was touching and the cameras are all up in her family business. I see some potential.
This season is boring. Robin is depressed and all these side….businesses…yawn.
I have yet to see a single episode of my favourite franchise. Thanks for the great recaps. Hope everyone is having a good summer. This boy needs the beach. Books too !
I like Mia, she is true to herself, not trying to hide her past because some computer techy would find it anyway. I am not a Gizelle and Robin fan, Robin taking up for Gizelle, apparently didn’t hear Gizelle attacking Karen. I’m going to tell your truth: drunk truth, cheating truth. How could Robin miss that, she was at the table too. Karen is just supposed to sit there and let Gizelle attack her. And I wouldn’t apologize to Candiance either, she wrote a check her a** couldn’t cash. Always running her lethal mouth and then couldn’t back it up. I like Mo, but I’m glad she decided to leave, it’s not worth it.
Wendy incessantly bragged about all of her degrees last season, but now she does not have a clue how to write a business plan? Girl please! 1) You want to be the “black Martha Stewart”? You best believe Martha knew how to write a business plan when she started. 2) You will never be able to sell anything if you don’t know your target market and competitive differentiators. Perhaps you are not as smart as you professed Mrs. Professor?
MIA….she’s a bit much, but I LOVE it. I love that she has no apologies for who she is, what she’s done, or what she does. It’s refreshing. SIDENOTE….her husband is not such an “old man”….at least not to me. He has some sex appeal for sure and doesn’t give the appearance of being geriatric. For some reason, I don’t hate Candiace like the rest of y’all (I actually like her) and find her somewhat changed and refreshed this year. Ashley has been THEE ONLY Potomac housewife to consistently show her life….the good, the bad and the ugly on the show and I will ALWAYS rock with her (and shady Michael too), because of their authenticity. Robyn is my sorority sister so she’s my girl and i enjoy seeing her, (Juan), and the boys. It’s just great seeing Black families on TV. I know, I know…..y’all think that she’s boring and her and Juan’s relationship is just for the cameras, but I don’t think Juan would do anything JUST for the camera and I think he loves her. KAREN….y’all love her (and I fall in and out of love with her all the time) but she consistently has NO storyline just like you say Robyn doesn’t. However, Robyn has some cute kids and a fine man to show every now and then, but Karen just sashays around calling herself the Grande Dame. I’m OK with that if she brought Grande Dame type entertainment, but all she does is go back and forth with Gizelle and TRY to boss Ray around. She’s already admitted on a WWHL that she “made up” the Sing Sing thing she said about Gizelle AND also pulled back from the “hot box” remark. Karen stop making up ‘ish and do some ‘ish. WENDY is just sad. She basically told Karen that I was wrong not to come genuflect at your feet last year, but now I want to so I can capitalize on your knowledge to get my bootleg Martha Stewart on. WHAT?!?!? You’ve gone from Wendy with the 4 degrees to a plastic Barbie who wants to sell candles??? It appears as if ZenWen has no idea what she wants to be when she grows up and I had such high hopes for her. With her being Nigerian, I was hoping to see a lot of the beautiful, family-oriented, Nigerian culture and all she wants to do is be plastic and wishy-washy like the other housewives. Wendy, I know you have a story…..a REAL story under all of that clout chasing and you were beautiful before the plastic surgery, the new makeup and the upscaled wigs. There are a plethora of plastic housewives, but YOU were unique. Now, you’re just another person stepping and fetching for Karen.
