I’m kind of surprised to be writing a RHOP recap tonight since is a holiday weekend, but I am down for it. The ladies return from Williamsburg and resume their usual dysfunctional lives. I’m not expecting a whole lot of drama tonight. But perhaps they will surprise me.
We start tonight with Mia preparing to meet with her mother. Her mother had a drug or alcohol problem that led to Mia ending up in foster care. Please note her headboard. We will see the headboard late in another scene with another housewife. Ah the scenes are back to back. I didn’t realize that. That makes photo placement more difficult.
The Aftermath Of Williamsburg
Zen Wen talks to her husband who I must say is hotter than I remember. She tells he husband that the person with the most volatile relationship is the one repeating false rumors on her husband. Eddie (?) is hurt that after they told the women their story about how hard they fought to get together that they would deliberately try to harm them. Someone is going to clue me in on why it was so hard for these two to get married. I must have dozed off on that part. I am not as into RHOP as you guys are. I’m more focused on why Zen Wen and Mia both have the same headboard (more or less). Oh I remember, he had to cut off his family to marry Wendy. Eddie says Gizelle is hurt and that is why she hurts people. True.

I puled a photo for the Gizelle and Robyn podcast. But, I doubt this will even be interesting to discuss. In the screenshots I chose from Robyn was just looking down and playing with her pens the whole time. They take about men who cheat. I wonder why. Gizelle starts throwing out random statistics. If I had a podcast with a friend and both of us were still trying to stay with men who were openly cheating on us, I might find another topic. Sorry, I let Banjo out during this scene and popped a turkey pot pie in the oven. (insert cute baby massage scene with Ashley and her Michael here. )
Later, Robyn talks her young son about going to a life coach. She needs a shrink. LOL That is exactly what the life coach tells her. Robyn argues with her. So the life coach lets her make an appointment.
Brown Dick Has Had Enough Of Candiace
At first, Candiace and Chris it seems like they are fine. She does tell Chris that Gizelle accused him of “riding her coattails.” Whatever, Chris has a full-time job in addition to being Candiace’s husbandger for a stupid little music video. I can’t carry a tune in a bucket and if I wanted to spend the money I could go make a music video tomorrow. It’s not like anyone as signed this bitch to a label. Come on. Ashley sings better than Candiace. Chris says that Candiace has always supported him and even worked as a hostess in “his restaurant” when they were short staffed. It’s now his opportunity to support her. Aw, how sweet. She also calls Ashley trash. Candiace is the trash.

But later these two go out to eat and Candiace becomes extremely disrespectful to her husband. I mean why not? She is extremely disrespectful to literally everyone! Apparently, every place now has a place to swipe you cell phone and place your order. I am so fucked. First it was hotel doors, now this? I am going to have to buy a goddamn motherfucking electronic leash where all my moves are tracked. I despise cell phones and DNA family tree crap. Why is everyone else so free with their personal information? Candiace expects Chris to just drop everything he has going on for this dumbass shit. He has an actual career teaching cooking classes and doing private catering for events. She’s making a dumbass video no one cares about. When she tells him to “check HIS attitude!!” He leaves and heads to the golf course.
Mia’s Mother Tells A HEARTBREAKING STORY
Mia meets with her mother. They both immediately order lemoncellos. So maybe it is drugs that were her issue? Her mother tells her that even as a child she would say that Mia gets on her nerves because she acts just like her father. Wow. Who says that to their child. I understand feeling that way but saying that to your kid’s face? Mia asks her mom what her father did to her and she doesn’t want to talk about it. Then, she says he introduced her to drugs. Wow.

She went to work one day and was there for fifteen minutes before she got a call from, I suppose the police. Mia was very young and trying to make herself some oatmeal and spilled it all over herself causing 2nd and 3 degree burns. Her father was in the basement having sex with some woman. She says that is when she realized that he had to go. But, three days later, she felt like she could not live without him. I sort of feel like we should not be watching the poor woman telling her story. Like it is not our business. My heart breaks for her. She tried to commit suicide over her Mia’s dad. At that time she thought it was best to get Mia into a foster home. This was one of the hardest scenes to watch on any Real Housewives franchise for me.
Preparations For The Divorce of Karen and Ray
Karen takes Wendy to go shopping for her second wedding dress for her kiss of divorce vow renewal. The whole thing is absurd and I don’t even believe she is paying for any of the dresses or the venue. The Grand Dame is an illusion with limited finances in my opinion. Mia arrives too. I guess people take free mimosas anyway they can get them. Poor Mia lives near the Canookian border or something. And she drove down for this? She felt like she was pulling up into a warehouse. Because, true facts. However, this the site of the vow renewal. And, the inside is in fact quite lovely.

The dresses that Karen is trying on are all so gaudy. And there is no way she can dance in any of them and that seems to be her point for getting a second dress? Mia says that she was invited to a celebration of Robyn’s birthday for drinks and she noticed that Karen and Wendy were not on the invitation email. Karen doesn’t dislike Gizelle. She also feels like she is hurt over the Pastor Holy Whore thing. So she sends a message to Gizelle through poor Mia who is caught in the middle.
The Requisite Dramatic Sit Down Meal
Gizelle arrives dressed like Cat Woman for Robyn’s birthday bash. Everyone except for Karen and Wendy are invited. I am sure they are counting their lucky stars. OMG that chocker on Gizelle is so bad. I used to love her and get mad when you guys talked about her bad fashion. I can see clearly now. Askale lets Gizelle know that Karen speaks very highly of her. A few of the girls are shocked that Karen is not there. Let me just tell you, the amount of food on this table is insane and in all the photos except this one people are chowing down!

Candiace is surprised that Robyn didn’t invite Wendy because she thought they made up with each other. I get why she is not there. Wendy can’t stand Robyn really. Gizelle asks Ashley if she “added hot sauce” to the situation in Williamsburg. She denies it. Candiace calls Ashley a “ho” and Ashley defends herself. Askale looks like she would rather be anywhere else. Candiace refers to Ashley who just gave birth as “walking into the room with her wide ass” or something. When Ashley points it out she backtracks and says “your wide ass face and you big ass forehead.” And I am paused on Gizelle loving this.
Next time: We have to tolerate another one of Karen’s trips to be crowned Watermelon Queen or whatever it is in her hometown/ County. UGH. Oh wait! She is not even going there. She is faking it from Potomac. LOL. Wendy’s young sons ask their parents about racism. Brown dick and Candiace continue to fight. Karen and Gizelle also continue to butt heads.
Sorry for the length. I don’t know how that happened.
We are finally at the big scene that all of my photos this week are for with six minutes left in the show. I guess the good news is I don’t need to pull photos for next week.
I just to started season 2 of Potomac. It never interested me until I started reading TT and so many people saying that it’s the best franchise. So far I’m entertained. I just read a little of this post and shocked that Karen is divorcing Ray! I know I’m still very new to Potomac but now I’m gonna watch them together in a different light.
Def gonna have to do so digging for past posts on this site to get the REAL scoop since I’ve been out of the loop!!!
Lol, She’s not divorcing Ray. They are renewing their vows which is a Bravo kiss of death!
Ohhhhhh!! Haha
Tonight’s episode was such a snoozefest. I can’t take Cadiace anymore. She’s just hateful and mean. I’m with you Tamara on Karen. I think she is really pretending to be the wealthiest Potomac housewife. I’ve always thought she was a phony. That scene with Mia and her Mom was heartbreaking. I really feel bad for Mia, but admire her work ethic. She’s not going to be like her Mom and good for her.
Regarding the bravo vowel renew curse, Karen and Ray are too old and tired to run off and have affairs or whatever. He’s 75+ No offense and no ageism, but seriously you’re going to leave Karen and do what? And Karen too is addicted to her fame at this point to entertain anyone to have an affair with. I think they’re just stuck with each other and she guilted him into this to put herself on a higher pedastal amongst the ladies.
Idk… Look at Tom Girardi. Plus, there have been rumblings of Karen with another man for years.
Last week, as much as I cannot stand Candiace, I thought how nice it was to see her trying to get the Green Eyed Bandits to be nice. Now, this week with the way she talked to Chris, she reminded me why she’s a horrible cunt.
She really is. Such a vile human being. CUNT is the absolute last word I would call a woman. But she is TOTALLY A CUNT.
Absolutely agree re Candiace being a Cunt (apple doesn’t fall far from the tree); term that I can’t even utter out loud! Why the fuck does pussy whipped Mr Brown Dick stay with her?! I’m in the UK and refuse to pay to stream this shit but follow through you (if that makes sense)! Wtf does Robyn bring to this franchise? Basically, only reason Juan (AKA Michael’s real lurvve) and her are still together is they can’t afford to live apart. Her tongue is so far up Gizelle’s arse that Mrs Pastor Holy Whore is probably reaching constantly for mouthwash. How they fucking dare talk about another person’s marriage given their histories is bonkers! Wasn’t Mrs Pastor Holy Whore meant to have been a ‘First Lady’ in the Church and provide non judgemental advice and support to couples? Team Monique forever!
It’s gotten to the point of repulsive what comes out of Gizelle & Robyn’s mouths about other women’s marriages. Do they not realize what fools they sound like with their own failed marriages to sit in judgement and spreading vile gossip like they do???
But she’s really really busy with her music career, what with all the dance moves and recording sessions, and her master’s degree. /sarcasm filter
Anyone else catch that Chris said “and I help with BOTH”? Not sure how he can “help” with her classes unless he makes flash cards…. Anyway, co-sign on Candiace. I had high hopes that she had some kind of revolutionary personal growth, but it seems that it was a facade.
Ha ha love it. I always thought Candiace was a cunt. If only she had left the show and not Monique.
Agreed! I hate Candiace, she is a hateful cunt. Her new nickname CHC. I wished they had fired her, now she is sooooooo full of herself.
We do not use nicknames here.
Candice needs to exit way left I told yall tht girl paying to have a song and video done she cant hold a shower tune had no rhythm and she talks to Chris like that because she has no respect for anybody she thinks putting him and Ashley down makes her look good that was very disrespectful what she did to Ashley and them woman allowed it Candice is unraveling and nobody is going to call her iwn it because she a bully.
Yes indeed, tonight was a reminder of just how awful Candiace is. I hope Chris wakes up and walks out on her. He can do a hell of a lot better. The scenes with Mia and her mother were heart wrenching. Hopefully it will help Mia understand why her mother put her in foster care. The dresses Karen was looking at were hideous. If she was looking for a dress to dance in she’d better keep looking. The Gizelle/Robyn podcast was a joke. You have an eagle eye, Tamara. I didn’t notice that Mia & Wendy had the same headboard until you posted the picture.
I dont know if she was “put ” in foster care as much as removed from her home. There would be no choice if a child came into the hospital with a severe burn and drug addict parents. (or even one parent). Poor Mia, that is just terrible, what she went through.
Candiace is a ridiculous human being. She is making her own story line with the self-paid song and video, as if anyone would want her for that. Does she want to call herself Candiace Jayne? I think there is an opening there.
Guess who else has the same headboard, Jen Shah!
A little nicer than the cinder block wall headboard she’ll have in prison.
Lol! Terri! You are so funny!
Glad I could make you laugh, lol.
That’s crazy. Maybe production buys them? Also I just saw the first for minutes of RHOSLC on the Bravo site and it is going to be AMAZING. And unlike the RHOBH women these women are all throwing her under the bus! I cannot WAIT.
Also, sorry about the Below Deck Med recap. It’s coming soon.
I love how the new gal asked Lisa if she has business with Jen! Lisa might be be showing some blind loyalty to her?
Oh Candiace. She just can’t help herself. The sheer number of insults she managed to tie to Ashley’s pregnancy in one episode. It was pretty funny though seeing her self-righteously fuming and stomping around like a child.
Mia’s story is indeed very dark. Mia is very casual about it all, but there is not enough money in the world to get you past all that. I wasn’t sure about turning it into a storyline with the mother, but it didn’t look too traumatic or exploitative. They are playing with fire though.
Candiace’s mommy issues are on full display this season. But I bet if someone talked about her lame “bonus kids” storyline she’d be in full triangle tissue mode over how cruel it is to mock her for being a stepmom.
If Gizelle loved the drama between Candace and Ashley, then Mia wanted to rip it’s clothes off and fuck it. Did you see her face? She was soooo excited.
I’m surprised that Candace doesn’t get bitch slapped on a regular basis. There has got to be something wrong with Chris choosing to be with someone like that. He must have some unresolved childhood issues or something. I would imagine that she’s getting dragged on social media right now due her comments to Ashley (but I don’t care enough to check myself lol). One thing that always bothers me about all of these hw shows is when someone is going after someone else in a way that crosses major lines, and they still sit there totally silent. Especially when it’s absolutely uncalled for. I hope that next week someone says SOMETHING to Candace IN THE MOMENT.
I can’t wait for the vow renewal. I hope it’s as good as the previews are making it look. Michael… He always brings my favorite drama.
I don’t understand Wendy! Gizelle simply stated maybe Wendy is dressing more provocative due to the Eddie cheating rumor which Gizelle said were FALSE!!! She gave Wendy a chance to address the rumor and keep it moving.
Otherwise, it would’ve been weird to have Wendy bring the topic up herself. Now it’s “She came for my family” like Gizelle wrote the blog post. Ugh!
Then I remember Tamara tea that she’s only making $50k total for this season or so and feel bad for Wendy. She looks amazing though.
Hste fake Karen. She’s a little season 3 Nene now. Above it all. Ugh
It’s hard for me to watch RHOP, l don’t like Robin, Giselle or Candace. I am making myself watch because nothing else is on for me to watch. Mia’s story line is sad, but she has survived in spite of her circumstances. Wendy, Karen and Ashley, l can tolerate watching regardless. Thank you for the recap, l fell asleep trying to watch it!
Last week I gave credit to Candaice for shutting down Ashley’s terrible behavior in Williamsburg. Ashley has so many skeletons in her closet but she keeps digging into other people’s marriages. She’s so messy and I thought Candaice was great for standing up for marriages. This week? Ugh, Candaice is so immature. I’m worried about her eyes. She keeps stabbing sharply folded tissues into her eyes to dab her fake years and I’m worried she may injure herself.
Robyn needs a storyline. She’s so boring. Is she a package deal with Gizelle like Dallas’s Stephanie and Brandy?
God this show is so entertaining I can’t stop watching!
Why is Karen so ridiculously fixated on the death comment Gizelle made several years back? It was a joke in response to his silly and somewhat inappropriate comment about her.
Anyone else notice Mia wearing the same dress (in black) in her confessional that Erika (RHOBH) wore in pink when the season began? Erika looks like a giant shower scrunchie while Mia looks beautiful in her dress.
OMG I can’t stand Candice. She is so jealous of Ashley she just can’t control herself. I did feel sorry for Chris but he continues to stay and be disrespected, he is not a man.Gluten for punishment. I would trade Monique for candiace any day. I fast forward Candiace singing scenes when I watch it on on demand, when I don’t I am forced to watch her scenes.
I am not enjoying RHOP. How does a professor suddenly lose all self confidence and pride and change in to a (Non) Real Housewive and not be a little bit feeling like something is going on with her?
It embarrasses me. I think that you should/could do YOU, but own the changes and teach perhaps why it got there. It may be interesting for a real truthful storyline. Hmm. Imagine that!!
