Nothing in the previews suggests that this RHOP recap will be the least bit interesting. So this is just a time filler for the main event RHOSLC most likely. We shall see. We start with Candiace’s mother coming for a visit. She actually has her own room in the house. She begins judging everything in her house and her marriage. Same. Old. Dorothy. Gizelle takes her daughter for a driving lesson in a parking lot. She really sucks at driving. No wonder she failed her learners test so many times. Mia’s husband homeschools the kids during Covid. I’m bored.
Let’s Get Lit?
Seriously. Do we really have a storyline between Wendy and Karen over candle sales? I cannot. And neither can Wendy’s husband. He is zoning out on her pitch to him. He questions her financials and she has no answers. Basically, he gives her his support in her little candle making thing. Ashley’s uterus has prolapsed and in her words is “hanging out of her lady parts.” That doesn’t sound good. Ashley loves her new young, attractive nanny. This leads to conversation with her friends and family that includes “Uncle Lump?” Did I hear that right? They also discuss Michael’s random (and failed) business ventures. I just don’t see what y’all see in this franchise. It’s not horrible, but it isn’t great TV either. I miss Monique.

Robyn and Juan go to check out some warehouses to house her …. hats? Does she sell anything else but hats? Buy the way, I can’t seem to give mine away. Only one I believe has been sent out. Maybe two? I have a couple that have been spoken for and a handful left. IJS. They are going to spend $1,700 a month to store hats? Surely, she has to have other items for sale. I just went to her site and she also has hoodies and t-shirts and masks. She could store all of that in her new house. It would all fit easily into one bedroom.
Candiace Makes Another Vanity Video
I love that production shows us Candiace rehearsing the dance for her vanity video with real dancers. They all have to start over a million times because she can’t get the steps. Then, she calls Chris about the final arrangements for the video shoot. Chris is going to be there late do to work. They argue about petty shit again. What does Brown Dick see in this person? Later, the girls start arriving to their 5 pm casting call and nothing is set up and no one is ready. I don’t even see Candiace at this point. Wendy arrives looking like she has been jumped into the bloods. Gizelle and Mia are there looking like 1982 THOTS. So far, so good I guess.

Dorothy, Candiace’s mother arrives before Candiace. Chris is not there yet either. The sun is going down and the luxury cars that are supposed to be there are MIA. This will be blamed on Chris. Askale arrives looking gorgeous. Apparently they we all told to wear torn cutoffs. Then, find out that the cars are not going to be coming. Everyone starts talking about how husbands should not be managers. Dorothy has never liked Chris, manager or not. I was wondering why none of the RHOP had luxury vehicles. Apparently, Askale has the nicest ride so they are going to use that as the prop.
Dorothy Stirs The Pot
Meanwhile, Mia asks Dorothy if Chris is on the payroll. What difference would that make? They are married. They both support each others businesses. Candiace used to hostess at the restaurant Chris worked at. Wendy ratted out Mia to Candiace about asking if Chris was getting paid. Dorothy whispers to Karen about Chris quitting his job to be a house husband. Bitch, Chris is at work right now! The sun is going down so the have to do the shot now.

The problem is that Candiace doesn’t know her steps. As they prepare to film the RHOP girls and Candiace’s love interest in the video arrives (he’s hot!) Chris comes storming and cussing into the parking lot. Rut Roh! Chris is pissed because he confirmed the cars at noon. Dorothy continues to trash Chris’s cooking lessons to anyone who will listen. It’s a pandemic. The restaurants are all closed what more would she like him to do? Clearly, cuntiness is a genetic trait. Dorothy implies that she paid for there house. This is not shocking news. They finally get the video done. Dorothy tries to dance with the love interest. Chris and Candiace hug and enjoy their success. But, Candiace says she doesn’t know how to move forward with Chris as a husband.
I’m sorry but the only thing I really wanted to talk about this episode was Candiace’s green hair look for her talking heads. I didn’t have a place to put the photo so I’m just going to drop it here. Can anyone explain this “Fashion Choice” to me? Please and Thank You.
It takes a lot to convince me to side with Candiace on much of anything. But my gawd, Mama Dorothy somehow makes it happen. Yikes!
Since RHOP has been so wild this season, I can’t get too mad about this week’s possibly being a snoozer. Hopefully, they’ll pick up the pace again once we get closer to the next all-cast trip(?) and Karen’s big day.
Why is Gizelle on there? She has no jobs, own a business or a man. but she got something to say about everybody business. Gizelle needs to be fired
Agreed. Ugh, just go away.
She has a business, the “Every Hue” makeup line. She should have launches for it in different stores or train consultants or expand it into other products.
She was or is remodeling her huge house which would be interesting if they would give it screen time. They gave Robin’s sad flip screen time last year and that business seems to be finished.
The search for a man could be a story line like it is for Garcelle on Beverly Hills, Sonja and Ebony on New York.
I think Gizelle should get training in something as a story line. I remember how Phaedra Parks on Atlanta went to Mortuary school so she could partner in a chain or mortuaries. She also tried to get Apollo to attend.
Dorinda briefly mentioned doing old-school aerobics events but that idea petered out. Luann began a cabaret career. Gizelle should find SOMETHING she is passionate about.
I felt like this show was one big advertisement about the women’s business endeavors and a teenage driving lesson. None of which I am interested in. Bravo get it more interesting! I am sick about hearing about 3 wick candles and women who fund their own music careers.
Dorothy seems so bitter and salty because she pays for a lot but she created the monster. So its probably safe to assume Dorothy said no to the luxury cars and canceled them
OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH I like this conspiracy theory and am pissed I didn’t think of it! Thanks AB!
AB what a great point! Where in the world would Candace or Chris get 10K ( I think that’s what Candace said) to pay towards filming a music video.
Also, these HWs who want to “self fund” a music career should take note of how Erika Jayne’s “self funded” music “career” is working out for her.
Don’t forget RHoNJ! Remember Melissa’s singing career? “On display, on display!” At least Lu from RHoNY stole Sonja’s cabaret thing and made a career of it!
Sonja did “Caberlesque” in which she did NOT sing. She recited lines like a Beat poet from the 1950’s while moving in lingerie (which was not dancing).
TT, that’s not green hair on Candiace. She has her hair tied up in a green scarf. It’s ethnically on trend and it’s correlative with the braids and the leopard print. And YES….the love interest in the video is indeed HOT.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Thank you! It makes a lot more sense now. I thought it was hair and it just seemed very strange. Now that my old lady eyes have reexamined, I see it now. #ImAnIdiot. lol.
Thank you! I too thought it was woven wig of blue/green hair!
I seriously do not want to hear anymore about Ashley’s internal/external organs. I don’t want to hear anymore about candles and women who have businesses but don’t know how to run them. Candiace and her mother are spoiled, entitled brats. Gizelle needs to hire a driving instructor for her daughter before someone in production gets run over. If that video cost $10,000, she overpaid by $8,000.
Candiace’s appearance after on WWHL made me throw up in my mouth a little… In my opinion she consistently acts like a crap human being at every opportunity… gross. “Oh – thousands of people hate me based on actual video evidence of me being crappy? That’s on them! I’m sorry they feel that way. I did something crappy that NO ONE agrees with – other people should be called out for the same thing then too. 🙄” I swear she acts just like Donald Trump. I’m not an actual therapist, but I think she has a personality disorder. Probably narcissistic. It’s hard to watch.
I have not watched yet, but as I said in my recap, cuntiness is apparently hereditary.
Between Michael Darby and Gizelle’s daughter, being a cameraman on RHOP is very dangerous!
LOL so true.
TMI on Ashley’s lady parts.
Shocked about the “driving lesson.” It looked more like the first time the daughter ever got behind the wheel of a real, live car…not the culmination of 5 tries to pass her test.
Mia is a $hit stirrer, how do you ask those questions of someone you just met?
Gizelle, well, just Gizelle.
Seems a lot of information was left off about Robin and what she needed the space for exactly, I am confused. Seems she could be successful if she tried but she has no motivation.
Karen enjoys lording over the women and thinks everything she does and says is IT.
Candiace is so full of herself she may blow up next week. I feel for Chris and can’t quite figure out why he stays with her. She definitely thinks the world revolves around her. Any of the housewives who start a “music” career on the show must have someone whispering in their ear how wonderful they are and they believe it because they all act the same way.
This week seemed very choppy and thrown together because they had nothing else to do and needed to fill the time slot.
My two cents are in and done now.
The test she kept failing was the written one (multiple choice).
One has to pass the written test to get a learner’s permit.
With the learner’s permit, one can begin driving instruction, but has to have a licensed driver in the car next to her.
Driving on private property without a permit or license is ok.
Ohhh, thank you for explaining that. “back in the day” we learned how to drive first, our high school held the lessons in the parking lot and the local dealerships provided the cars for us. THEN we went to the DMV and took a written test AND a driving test. So different now-a-days.
Boring episode. The women are so much more fun to watch when they’re criticizing one another with their totally weird and hilarious insults. Where does Candaice get her money? Grad school ain’t cheap, whose paying for the house, school, and music?
The money must come from her mom.
A few seasons back she and her sister were developing a wig line, paid for by Mom. I don’t think it was a success as we haven’t heard any more about it.
Thanks for the recap. I’ve still got to finish watching. I started and fell asleep. I miss Monique too! This season is turning out to be a snooze fest.
Candiace has said that her mother’s name is not on the deed to the new house. But one wonders why she has such an elaborate room there. And whatever shade mom was trying to throw at the taping.
Candiace made a big deal last season about getting a real contract with a producer. That clearly fell through for ‘differences of style’ or something — in other words, he realized she has no talent and needs to be autotuned to death. Her lack of dance talent killed me. Sort of a basic requirement for music videos of the type she was making. Someone said that Chris never rented the cars, assuming the ladies would drive nice cars that could be used. He is as big a phony as Candiace. His twitter feed last night and this morning were crude and disgusting.
Can I say without being slammed that I am so over the braids. They are not flattering on any of them.
Love the new woman and her kids. But the preview re him demanding more kids (via a second wife?) don’t bode well for the relationship.
I read someone found records showing Robin and Juan are aleady married. IDK. But their relationship seems a bit rocky, especially with him making remarks that Robin should have had a baby girl.
Sigh.
Record companies don’t generally sign new artists in their 30s and a music video has nothing to do with getting signed to a label. That money should have been placed in recording a decent demo tape. No record company wants someone with a trash mouth like Candiace. Sick of these fake music careers.
At this point and the amount of money she’s spending, she may as well be the label and it’s only artist.
Oh, I just have to add that Candiace’s mom made sure she was front and center, right next to Candiace “dancing” in the video. So I guess she did have a financial interest because she was hardly one of the “hot” background dancers Candiace wanted. What a pushy bitch.
I really could have done without Ashley’s candid talk about her “lady parts” it was just an uncomfortable scene for me and I think, her family also. As for Candice, I caught her on WWHL and find her a selfish, self centered, unapologetic narcissist. Her Mom and her deserve each other.
after reading about Candiace’s appearance on WWHL, I’m glad I missed it … she’s really horrific.
So tempted to fast forward through all her scenes, but I guess she was the “star” of this one.
Karen, Mia & Gizelle know the assignment … they are on a TV show and at least they attempt to be entertaining. Maybe it’s me, but I find all that “3 wicks” stuff to be hilarious.
I snoozed through this episode, but the driving lesson did hit home for me. My 16 year old son got his permit (based on the written exam), in VA I have to teach my son how to drive (45 hours worth), it has been mostly in the parking lot of the nearby elementary school (at night or weekends of course). My son is doing ok, but hell no, i will not let him drive alone (like Gisselle did)I will be sending him off to professional driving school to drive on the roads. I live in a busy neighborhood with lots of cars, walkers, runners, kids, etc, so there is no way I will take him around my hood without having a heart attack.
I think the braided hair wrap look was inspired by Janet Jackson in poetic justice, but it was a fail. The wrap is too bulky, green, and you have to look for the braids. I think it may have looked better if her braids were in a bun and the wrap was a different color. She was trying to cover up her new growth with the first thing she could find.
