Tonight’s recaps are going to be a bit of a mess. However, I’m going to try to do this RHOP Recap. I laid down to take a nap an hour or two ago and slept like the dead. I’ve got to feed Banjo and take care of some other things so this is probably going to be a bit on the short side.
First of all, I’m just going to say it. Candles are gifts for a work Secret Santa or other people you don’t know well enough to know what to get. Secondly, I don’t need three episodes about how some girl cannot drive. Gizelle is having people over to her house but is not going to let people in to the construction site? I woke up for this nonsense? And now WWHL is on right after this crap show screwing up the time for RHOSLC? Who the hell is Andy Cohen blowing now to completely ruin Bravo lineups that are on their last leg already?
I’m Bored.
Mia’s sons are super cute. Apparently, Mia’s Mom was convicted on some pretty serious charges. And for whatever reason they are airing it out in front of her kids. No bueno. Also, are we still talking about candles? We’re apparently going to take a couples trip to accentuate the fact that Robin and Juan are not really a couple. Um Yay?

On to hanging out at Gizelle’s construction site. I feel like I am in an alternate universe and none of this could really be happening. Wait this is about their dumb podcast? Is anyone listening to that? If so fill me in. Let me just tell you that when you take a nap longer than intended and wake up to have to recap this mess it’s kind of an out of body experience. Normally, it’s seems kind of normal that a person with no house has a party on a construction site and excludes certain people from using the bathroom. Because, somehow these stupid shows make sense if you watch them long enough. But, if you wake up from a “nap” that ended up being a dead sleep? It’s kind of like an acid trip. Um not that I would know. But Karen Huger is there in real time and seems to feel the same way.
I didn’t even notice Candiace was not there until she showed up. WTF is Candiace wearing? And why is she riding so hard for Mia and her Mama? Sorry I didn’t get through my emails today again. I’m going to recap Big Brother very briefly because it is the the end of the season. Also, Robin sits like a man. And Gizelle wants to throw Wendy off her construction site.
Gizelle needs to be fired. She is not bringing anything to the show. Her and Robin is bullying Wendy. Robin need to stop hating on Wendy because she knows her and Juan are not getting married. Mia needs to apologize to Candie.
NO, it is WENDY who is not bringing anything to the show with her sullenness and her bratty attitude. Methinks the lady doest protest too much e.g…..get over yourself. Nobody was saying your husband was doing anything untoward, but your attitude, sulkiness, new boobs and ass say otherwise. Oh, and the fact that he deleted 100 instamodels from his account after that episode aired. If you REALLY want to be like Karen, learn how to deliver your shade succinctly and with a smile (fake or not), so you don’t appear to be a bratty, sulky child.
YES! Wendy is the face of self-righteousness and insecurity.
How do Wendy have insecurity? Gizelle has to bully someone to feel good. Not only was she being messy in Wendy’s marriage but she was also being messy in Candiance’s marriage. Gizelle is a unhappy bully that needs to be fired.
You woke up to this shit show and I could not stay awake to watch it. SO. BORING. I kept dozing off…woke up once because my head fell back and hit the headboard. Every time I woke they were still under that ridiculous tent in Gizelle’s yard/construction site in front of that hideous house that is only amazing in Gizelle’s head.
I could not believe Gizelle even let Grace accept the task of backing Candiace’s Lexus out of the driveway. That child cannot drive! As a parent, you don’t let that accident happen – NOT in someone else’s vehicle.
This show is following the other housewives shows to the point of unsalvageable.
The first half of the episode was kind of filler but I enjoyed Gizelle’s ridiculous lawn furniture party.
I enjoy the dynamics of this season where there are not like teams but just so many random individual feuds that can pop off any second.
Also I can’t believe I used to hate Karen in the earlier seasons of this show. She made me laugh so much this episode.
Gizelle her house– her fashion and herself are all a big hot mess!!!
Agree – wtf was Candiace wearing? That kind of outfit/top has been worn by a couple of women on tv recently. She looked half naked and that we’d see the boobs any minute.
Looks like Candiace is not going to let Gizelle away with the scrape to her tire (and whatever else) that kid did. Disgraceful. Lexus repairs and tires are not cheap.
Talking about outfits — what the hell was Robin wearing on WWHL last night???? Her hair was crazy and her makeup looked like my 12 yo granddaughter’s experimentation. (I read somewhere that she and Juan are secretly married but there is so much bull on SM today.)
Please no more about candles — one wick or three.
Gizelle’s house is a mess. She clearly had no architect’s help. Even Robin couldn’t say anything nice about it on WWHL.
Robin’s hair and makeup on WWHL were REALLY REALLY bad.
She looked lit. Loved her energy but not her look. Oompa Loompa tan is never a great look.
Candiace’s shirt was like if she put her arms in it and forgot/was too lazy to pull the neck hole part over her head. So bizarre.
Also was stunned by Robyn’s WWHL look. Was she going to a midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show after the taping? Or did Meghan McCain’s old stylist from “The View” find a new victim?
Karen is the GOAT, so funny and she looks AMAZING in her confessionals!
Gizelle is so declasse. That backyard party in the middle of a construction zone was so badly done. Wendy was vicious, planning a couples trip to remind Gizelle she can’t maintain a relationship. Wendy needs to be stronger and not let herself get dragged down to Gizelle’s level. She should deflect like Ashley, nothing brings her down. Karen is a national treasure and she’s my favorite.
I’m lucky that I don’t have to do these recaps and I can record the 2nd run since Bravo is completely screwing up the timing by adding WWHL to the end of these shows. Gizelle is horrible and Robyn would be a much better person if she separated herself from Gizelle. I do love G’s daughters though. The fact that they had to keep telling her not to eat the food that was meant for the guests & to chew with her mouth closed was everything! I agree with you about candles. They are grab bag gifts when you don’t know who you’re buying for or you’re invited someplace and don’t know the person very well. Each of the women was dressed for an indoor party — definitely not for walking up that dirt driveway and sitting out among the construction sounds & insects. And then to start playing that tacky, mean spirited game! Saying that you had no intention of letting two of your guests use the bathroom indoors was so bad. She’s lucky Sonja isn’t on that show because she’d just squat in the driveway and do her business. I love Karen this season and I’m glad that Wendy is standing up for herself. The scenes with Mia, her family and her Mom were so sad. I never like when someone intentionally humiliates another person who is trying to do the best she can. Maybe that’s why Mia’s mother prefers her sister — maybe she’s just a kinder person.
This episode was the funniest I’ve ever seen on any Real Housewives franchise. I mean once they got to Gizelle’s house, the jokes never stopped, Karen asking if they were doing covid testing when she saw the tent, the many shots and sounds of the construction and general hot mess, Wendy making a point to ask if she was to be “jealous of this?”, pointing Gizelle’s construction zone, Mia calling Caniace’s video shoot low budget, Karen’s general loopiness, the shady editors with the visuals and sound effects, the insect buzzing sounds … I was literally laughing the the last 30-35 minutes.
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY concur with your assessment.
@Terry, I agree that the meeting with Mia’s mom was tough to watch! I was shaking my head and thinking this is not the place/time if you want to develop a relationship with your mom. She has admitted that she messed up and wasn’t there for you. So please don’t embarrass her on tv while she is making an effort to connect with you. And then don’t want to answer the questions about what was the charges. No one would be able to ask that question if you didn’t open your mouth about her prison sentence. And I know it is reality tv and she shouldn’t be on there if she didn’t want to share her business. But her mother is not being paid what Mia is to share her information.
I absolutely agree. And she did it in front of her kids, that is not fair. I feel sorry for the mother. Cant wait to hear from the sister.
Great episode. By throwing a party at a construction site Gizelle MUST’ve known that production would run with that and humiliate her. Her commitment to making entertaining TV is admirable.
I also love all the conflict. I like it when housewives all fight with each other instead of just one central feud that everyone is on either side of. Everyone has a point, everyone is kinda wrong, the difference is in how they fight. It’s all so petty and stupid too, so very easy watch. And funny of course. So far they are having a great season and I hope it’s reflected in their ratings.
I don’t know what show some of you all were watching because this show was EV-E-RY-THING!!!! Admittedly, the beginning was slow, but there was enough entertainment in the “Reasonably/Shady” party to last for the rest of their season. IT WAS HILARIOUS, and Karen was in rare form. I see that some of you all never played “The Dozens” and perhaps never even heard of them, because if you had you’d know that Wendy is losing. Her continued petulance, sulkiness, and over lack of discernable personality is tiring at best. Yes, she has a right to feel how she feels about the ALLEGED attack on her husband (which it was NOT), but bringing that stank attitude with her every time she’s around Gizelle, Robyn and now Mia is old now and shows that you’re not witty and/or “shady” enough to get your digs in without all that frowning and attitude and making all the plastic surgery you got (and not just on your body), a waste of time and money. If she REALLY wants to learn from Karen, she needs to learn how to kill the competition every so softly with a plethora of thin paper cuts…..and then pour lemon on them. Karen is the Queen of getback and Wendy obviously still has a lot to learn from her because the continued nastiness she shows that maybe SHE believes the rumors about her husband if no one else does. The longer she sulks and pouts, the longer she shines a light on WHAT she is sulking and pouting about. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. Candiace is just as nasty, but I disagree. Candiace is wickedly entertaining. Wendy is a sour pus. P.S. Candiace’s album is FABULOUS!! That’s something NO ONE can take from her.
Wow! Totally love your analysis and every single point you made. Thank you for articulating exactly what I feel about Wendy, and doing it so well. “Soupruss”. Yes, Exactly. She’s just so unlikable to me.
Candy Ass! STFU! You of all people have the nerve to tell someone else to watch their mouth? Wtf? You will never learn….and about your body shaming of other women? You should be ashamed of yourself! Cannot believe cancel culture hasn’t caught up with you yet. And by the way, I am not a big fan of CC, but if ever it was needed, it’s now! She never stays on the subject of the dispute, just goes in with insults that make no sense…..ugh! Yes Mia was a stripper, so was NeNe Leakes, no one cares!
