Ashley Darby came in for a brief visit on the last episode and stirred up a hornets nest that will continue to have repercussions throughout this week’s RHOP recap. But, before I get started, I should point out that social media is saying that Zen Wen’s husband has deleted well over 100 accounts he followed from his social media since the last episode. All of them were accounts by Internet THOTS. Someone is acting very guilty. How do people even know when someone deletes followers? Nonetheless, I believe that where there is smoke there is fire. I also believe that this is the reason for all of Zen Wen’s surgeries. Oh and also, Jamele Hill came for Candiace basically sticking up for Monique saying that she begged for her ass whooping by Monique. Anyway, let’s see the ladies get through the aftermath of Ashley’s visit.
A Group Divided
Here we go! The ladies get their dinner delivered to the house. It looks like Chinese food. But, Wendy doesn’t want to “break bread” with Gizelle. So, the cottage dwellers all head back to the cottage to eat in peace. So we get some back and forth between both camps. Robyn is really, really wasted. The mean girls talk about how defensive Zen Wen is. Gizelle makes it clear she doesn’t want Zen Wen “in the group” aka on the show. Shockingly, Candiace defends Wendy to Gizelle. Not a lot, but just enough to play Switerland. The cottage dwellers talk about how different Robyn is when she is with Gizelle. Everyone in the cottage just goes to bed. Robyn is so crude. Gizelle is ready for bed and takes Robyn upstairs with her lest her drunk ass bounce down the stairs.

The next morning everyone calls home to check on their kids and husbands. Wait what? What kind of “TV segment is Zen Wen doing? The rest of the cottage people go to the main house. Gizelle has been swimming for over an hour and a half. Karen needs to go see her glam squad for her swearing in ceremony. How many times to we need to see Karen go to her hometown and have a parade or a swearing in ceremony or whatever? This poor little hick town has nothing else to do besides blow smoke up Karen’s behind? Oh Zen Wen is on a news show talking about the issues with all the voter discrimination laws. Sadly, it has gotten a LOT worse since this was filmed. That is why none of us can afford not to vote. Ever. No matter how “small” you think the election might be. None of them are small.
Tennis Anyone?
Wendy arrives to the main house, and Gizelle suggests they speak privately at some point. Wendy slings her braids in Gizelle’s direction as if to say, “Talk to the braids.” For some reason, the ladies start talking about childbirth. Candiace changes the subject. She wants the ladies to be extras in her “music video.” It’s apparently being filmed on her iPhone. God Lord this is ratchet. They each have to do a dance move. I’m actually shocked by how bad these women’s rhythm is. Karen arrives to the house after her Zoom meeting and is not interested in the video at all. She gives a little ass shake and that’s it. This is very embarrassing. These women can’t dance. Somehow, Candiace chooses Karen to be in her video.

Askale, Candiace, Gizelle and Robin go to play tennis. Askale drover the cart like a bat out of hell and scared everyone. It’s a doubles match with Gizelle and Robin against Askale and Candiace. The loser has to rub the winner’s feet. Candiace has clearly never even held a tennis racket before. Also, WTF is she wearing? Gizelle and Robin beat the pants off them. Meanwhile, Karen goes to her induction into her new role as Ambassador for Surrey County. You would think Karen was being sworn in as POTUS and gives a super long speech. Ray and other family members are there. Ray then gets up to make a speech. He tells her to plug her businesses. Wendy is also there and shocked to find out Karen is going to compete with her candle line.

Not Another Dinner
How tiresome must it be to have to eat your dinner with housewives on every single night of any trip knowing it’s going to be a shit show? Dinner is buffet style. For that they paid a private chef? I must say Zen Wen’s boobs are quite lovely. Miraculously, Juan calls the moment they sit down for dinner and Robyn says, “Hi my nonexistent relationship!” She goes on about the fact that their relationship is non-existent. Oh Lord, here we go. The green-eyed bandits start to come for Zen Wen again.

Robyn brings up how excited Wendy was for her engagement to Juan. She calls her fake. Because now she says her relationship with Juan is “nonexistent.” Robyn and Wendy are sort of kind of trying to hash things out. Then, Wendy wants to know why Gizelle called her a weak bitch after she left the night before. That really didn’t happen. Mia is ever so subtly stirring the pot. And that was that. On the housewives scale, this was a drama free dinner.
Next Week: Karen and Ray renew their vows. I wonder if one of them has filed for divorce yet? #BravoCurse Juan appears to leave Robyn. Candiace and Brown Dick fight as well.
Gawddammit, the RHOP crew know so well how to serve us such exquisite MESS.
I’m also wondering what’s really going on with Eddie. Regardless, Gizelle and Robyn approached the matter in the cruelest way possible. It just reminds me of how Vicki and Tamra took turns weaponizing the David Beador rumors to attack Shannon during RHOC Seasons 9-12. Whatever proves to be the truth about their marriage, I don’t blame Wendy for going full ham and cheese sandwich on Gizelle.
giggles at “full ham and cheese sandwich” I am thinking you should do my recaps when I get the fuck out of this country…. we should talk.
I did not like Wendy last year. AT. ALL. These green eyed bandits have pushed me to team Wendy.
I can’t stand Candiace, but it was actually refreshing to see her try to keep the green eyed bandits from being mean.
SAME!
Tamara did you see DJ Richie YT video Where he talked about the real housewives of Atlanta casting? He credited you more than once With the information he made it clear that it came from you and gave you very high praise on your recaps I think he even put a link in the description to your site. He was just so respectful I just wanted to make sure that you knew. I guess y’all are friends and you probably already know but I I just need to make sure that you know how well respected you are. Richie is one of my favorite Youtubers he’s so professional.
I know you’ve been going through a lot lately and I feel like you need some good news
Thanks Deb! I had no idea that happened!
Isn’t it nice when someone acts right! Kudos to you for being recognized! I rarely comment but love your recaps, and like that you are honest about how you are doing. As someone with chronic pain who has to function sometimes when I just can’t…I can relate. Thanks for being you!
Thanks MzzLisa I’m kind of an open book over here. So, unfortunately, you get the whining with the tea. lol.
Its all fake and scripted Wendy knew signing up that rumors happn in the blogs she NOT exempt just b/c she made some body changes she looks a mess anyway thy have the worse hairdressers and makeup artist thus old hoes try to look young cant twerk so pls STOP just stop the madness abd tht Mia (really)she sound like a trapped mouse Candice and that stingy ghetto ponytail Im go be say wat viewers havnt Candice jealous of Ashley she gad no reason to pop off at her that blog info came from Gizalle I cant Bravo I cant Candice cant sing has no rhythm Im sure she paying thm lots of money to produce that (cry for help)I cant please stop her from singing on here!
Punctuation is your friend.
Exactly!
Wendy acted very childish swinging her braids and telling Giselle to speak to them. I don’t care what she has done to her body. But to nonstop flaunt and make comments is just too much. She even referred to the new titties while talking about swimming. I also feel where there’s smoke there’s fire, especially with the cheating rumors on these shows. What’s shocking, if Eddie is out there cheating, why has there been no side piece come forward or a video or pics?
There are two kinds of side-pieces. One in it for clout and one in it for love. The ones that are in it for love NEVER go public. Wendy might really have something to worry about because IF Eddie actually has a side-piece, and she is SILENT…..that speaks volumes.
So true! Love the wisdom in this comment!
Why in the world would Robin even consider having a bridal shower? Who cares who she invites!!
Right! She is marrying the same person again. And he doesn’t seem that interested again
She needs it for a storyline. Who she will and will not invite, the event itself, etc.
Desperate times/desperate measures. She has nothing else.
Juan doesn’t care about Robyn’s drama. She kept referring to him as “non-existent partner” and their “non-existent relationship”, and then attempted to explain it to him, he wasn’t hearing it. He doesn’t care. At all. That was cringe-worthy to watch.
Also, Gizelle always, always tries to crack-wise on someone’s relationship/partner/husband. She should remain mum on those subject, lest it further highlight how miserable she is. (And bitter).
I’ve broken my own rule and read your recap before I watched the show. I thought I recorded it last night but I don’t remember seeing it on my dvr this morning, so that means I’ll have to watch it On Demand and not be able to ff through commercials. I’ll be back once I’ve been able to watch the show.
Seems like everyone is REALLY stretching for a storyline this season.
Karen with an issue from FOUR YEARS AGO, Robin/Juan … never changes. Giselle being messy. There’s not really much else.
However … Wendy, come on girl! I can see Eddie seemingly is disgusted by you and your “candle business”. If he’s not having an affair, he’s checked out. Hence her massive body overhaul.
Also, why do all of Wendy’s outbursts seem SOOOO rehearsed. The “tick-tock tirade” was something she practiced and used at an odd moment. Her with Giselle also seemed like another “read” she wrote beforehand to be used at a moment, whether it fits the context or not.
When will people realize that Gizelle doesn’t need a man when she has Robyn warming her lap up, I guess she’s just Gizelles MansBestFriend
I thought it was just me sensing a green eyed Candace. I think the baby thing is getting to her. And her “friend” just popped out two like it’s no biggie.
Very fun episode. Honestly the whole season so far has been delightful. The drama is constant and sometimes a bit dark/mean, but all of it is so petty, exaggerated and stupid that it never becomes unwatchable.
I’m also here for Karen’s journey. Talking about buttfucking and C-words while twerking in bodysuits. Boy has la dame come a long way lol.
Does everyone like the braids? I think they are so unattractive on otherwise pretty women,
