It’s Sunday night when ever channel wants to air all the shows! And, it is time for another RHOP recap. Will this couples trip EVER END? I’m already over it. We finally get to the entreé portion of dinner. While Robyn and Gizelle plan to go to a hotel rather than have to walk across the hall to use a bathroom, Wendy is telling the rest of them that the next day they are going out on a boat. Sounds like a good time. However, boats are not always the best thing on housewives trips. And the title of this episode is ominous.
Even the RHOP husbands can not behave. Gordon start talking about how big his dick is. Chris threatens to show everyone his brown dick. They are all delusional. Gordan may have even whipped his out. Thankfully, everyone goes to bed. Except for Robyn and Gizelle who are plotting their escape. Also, Candiace and Chris talk and she agrees to have GVO the rest of the trip. We shall see about that. Didn’t whoever is in the room across the hall from Gizelle say she had a bathroom they can use?
A Three Hour Tour?
The next morning, Ray Huger is on the way to join the trip. I’m struggling with this recap because I keep waiting for some sort of storyline beyond, they went to bed and woke up. Karen and Wendy did some jaw boning with Robyn and Gizelle over Facetime. Mia keeps asking where the maids are. Karen is super excited when Ray show up. It’s cold and the water is choppy so no one is overly excited about going out on the boat. I am literally watching commercials because there is nothing to discuss so far.

On the boat, Robyn and Askale eat lunch downstairs together. Askale asks her about her issues with Wendy. Robyn says she liked her last year and thought she was very down to earth, but she’s different now and they are not hitting it off anymore. Mia apparently overheard some of this conversation when she was downstairs so of course she has to stir the pot and report back to Wendy. Mia does tend to put a spin on things when she reports them. Out of nowhere, we are arguing about the bathroom situation again and Robyn says she can’t use a bathroom where “men are pissing all over the floor.” So now all the men are insulted by Robyn’s ignorant mouth. Who says that?
Candiace Cries AGAIN
Next, Wendy calls Gizelle a mean girl and a bully. I got distracted by Banjo (he had a good day but is having a bad night) and tuned back in as Mia apologizes to Candiace for asking her mother about Chris being paid as her manager. Candiace starts crying about Mia calling her video low budget. Are there triangle napkins on this boat? Oh, look she found one. Are we really supposed to feel sorry for Candiace? Because, I don’t. But Mia continues to apologize so I guess those two are cool now. Candiace says she had no idea about her issues with her mother. Mia’s mother did eight years in prison and both of her parents died while she was in there. Now Mia is crying.

Meanwhile the guys went downstairs and played spades until the whole trip was over. Back on the van they have all kinds of snacks. This is the most excited I have seen them the entire trip. A bag of Cheetos goes a long way. Ashley tries to take a little nap in the van and Gordon is mocking her and trying to wake her up! WTF? She just had a baby, she is breastfeeding. She’s been out in the sun all day. Leave her alone!
Next week, it looks like this miserable trip finally comes to an end.
If it weren’t for Candiace going over the top in all the wrong ways, we’d probably be able to focus our outrage on how hella inappropriate Mia and Gordon were on this trip. I’ve always wanted to go to that stretch of the Eastern Seaboard, but I don’t think I could handle a group trip like that.
Gordon has the potential to make Michael Darby look good and I didn’t think that was possible! It appears that on next week’s episode Gordon’s behavior will be worse
He does act embarrassingly raunchy.
Gordon is not a man I’d want to be around. He’s so inappropriate. He seems like the type of guy who would make offensive comments about you when his wife is not in the room. Yuck. Candaice is a child. Also, while Gizelle has a very fast mean girl mouth that runs a marathon, Wendy is smart AF and you just cannot win against her. It’s empowering to see a woman who has given birth finally feel comfortable in her skin. We should celebrate Wendy’s happiness in her appearance rather than put her down. Gizelle is jealous. Finally, I love how these women eat.
I can win against Wendy. She tries too hard to stand out with her degrees and her body. She can’t just chill and be herself. She always has to be too extra. She isn’t a gracious host. She did very little in my opinion to make everyone feel welcomed. She also was rude in how she invited Gizelle and Robin. You may not like them but you still need to show them respect after you invited them. Plus, it’s disgusting to watch her eat.
What is with Mia tattling every conversation back to the ladies? Is she trying too hard to keep her position on the show?
Nope, I still don’t feel bad for Candiace.
I agree with all of this. Wendy intentionally gave Gizelle and Robyn a crappy room with no bathroom, especially knowing Gizelle had a cast on her foot. Offering her a downstairs hall bathroom is unacceptable she she enjoyed it.
While I am glad these women eat, I could not sit across from any of them. Wendy’s table manners are disgusting. Mayne she thought that eating like that is “extra.” She is a horrible hostess (despite her proclamations of how great a trip she is running). Guests should not have to forage to find food. And she could have been in the kitchen first, at last, putting out stuff to cook.
I am really losing all interest in this show. I would like to see some normal conversation, trips and not screaming and throwing food and insults in every scene. ugh
sigh. I used to like this show. I do not need discussions (and possible showings) of penises. Gordon is a drunk pig and Mia is well matched with him, since she seems to enjoy his behavior.
I want to see if the penis is really brown.
I know, RIGHT!
HONESTLY…..I do too!!!
Me either. Candiance is hard to watch. And it’s clear that she hasn’t learned a darn thing from last year’s fiasco. She hasn’t met the right person obviously. But if she keeps using her mouth as a weapon, she will. Wendy. She loved that she was an irritant to Gizelle and Robin. I wonder if she was basking in her glory because she finally won the battle of light skin vs dark skin, in her mind. I caught some old hurt kinda vibe in all of that.
I caught the hurt vibe too and thought I was reaching. Thanks for the confirmation. I feel like the 4 degrees, the side candle/home stuff venture, the new body,…..ALL of that is her seeking validation. After seeing her interactions with her mother last season (remember her mother was NOT PLEASED about her giving up her Professorship and I see she’s still a professor) and observing her mother after RHOSLC tonight on WWHL, I am convinced that Candiace and Mia is not the only housewife who has mommy issues. Make that Candiace, Mia, Wendy AND Ashley too. Perhaps all of them do. I think that some of them handle them better than others.
Mommy issues can truly leave you with PTSD. I know from experience. My sister and I went to counseling together years ago. She said manipulative people like our mother pull one child in while pushing the other one out. I was the one pulled in. My sister is actually less damaged than I. I see how my mother operates. I always feel like I am everyone’s protector, that I have to go up against my mother on behalf of my sister, my kids, my nieces. The counselor told me I can’t be “the fixer” that it’s not my fault the things my mother does. I listened, I heard the words, but it’s hard to break what you’ve known, what you’ve done and felt your entire life.
Knowing the effect of “Mommy issues” still doesn’t make me like Candiace though.
Candace needs to off the show. Shes a bully
EV-E-RY-THING you just said. We’re in the minority opinion about Wendy, but I feel our opinions are accurate. She was much more interesting last season (even if some thought her bragging about her degrees was irritating), and much more engaging. She’s sullen and sour and it doesn’t enhance her freshly bought looks. It makes one wonder why she’s so unhappy.
the Chesapeake area is so nice, but this episode was super boring. If they are going to do nothing they might as well do it at home. That I would like to see better
Giselle and Robyn aren’t wrong you cannot expect these women to use bathrooms that are designated to other couples esp for a woman who’s on her period come on now
LOL. You must be kidding. What does her being on her period have to do with anything?
Well, depending on which product you use, you wouldn’t want your wrapped up pads laying around in the garbage can would you? As well as the smell that comes along after you’ve use the bathroom. I wouldn’t want a man to come in after I’ve used the bathroom.
Please explain why these women need a private bayhroom. Obnoxious pretentious behavior from these two
Robyn is 41. If she can’t be discrete about her period that’s sad. SHE announced her monthly as a reason for her attitude, when its really about having to be on a trip she doesn’t want to be on, because once again, no Juan….at all. Or maybe thats who she was on the phone with at dinner?
AGREE! I travel with mixed groups all the time singles + couples. We always make sure the singles (mostly women but we have a couple single guys) have their own bathroom space. My best friends who have known my husband for 20 years don’t want to share bathroom space with him for their modesty’s sake. Since Bravo paid, why could they not have a house with a better bathroom situation. I like Wendy, but she wasn’t gracious at all. She has no intentions of being the bigger person with Gizelle, and she doesn’t have to, but for whatever reason she doesn’t carry pettiness well. Some people can be hella petty and still liked (Kenya) but Wendy isn’t entertaining with her pettiness.
Agree. I am too grown up (sorry not sorry) to share a bathroom with people I barely know.
I concur. I’m an average, ordinary divorcee` and would never stay where I didn’t have my own bathroom. I have my own bathroom even when I visit my friends. It’s barbaric. I understand where Wendy is coming from, but I don’t blame Gizelle or Robyn ONE BIT for hightailing it out of the attic from hell. Even the bedspreads were giving me Motel 6. It was abysmal.
I would have left the minute I found the half eaten sandwich on the bed. That was just nasty. And Wendy screaming that Giselle was lying after she barely acknowledged them was truly tacky.
I’m only twenty minutes in but… wtf was Wendy doing with that shrimp or whatever she was eating in the restaurant? It reminded me of Taylor Armstrong trying to be sexy with the cotton Candy on Beverly Hills. Just gross, not cute or sexy at all.
She was trying to look unbothered, but looked hella bothered while doing it. I don’t think this “fight stance” is good for Wendy. Plus, she really thought she would be friends outside the show with the green-eyed bandits. She and Gizelle are sorority sisters. They are letting her know she’s not “Potomac”. She just wrangled her way onto the show by being Potomac adjacent. There’s alot NOT being said, but Robyn and Gizelle have definitely decided to ice her out. She would do well to stay in league with Karen, but Karen was at her throat Season 1. Tough spot for Wendy.
That’s right. They are Sorors. I wonder what their grand chapter has to say about their public disdain. I know that not all Sorors are going to get along but that is not a good look.
When you are on your period, you just don’t want to be in a bathroom with high traffic. Personally, I take forever hormonal changes make things go wonky….so I get Robin’s point. And the privacy thing of showering outside of your bedroom around unrelated men….like Gordon? No thank you. Yes, Ashley offered her bathroom, but honestly, these women take long enough, do you want them in one bathroom? I think they should have pulled Wendy aside and explained. If I were the host, I would have understood.
Personally when they bitched on the last trip about getting the cabin or small house vs being in the big house, I was thinking I’d prefer having less people to share my sleeping, showering, getting ready to go out space. These women are annoying AF. I’d have anxiety off the charts staying in a house with them all, plus their spouses.
I don’t really like Wendy. I think she’s trying too hard and needs to relax and be herself. However in the case w Gizelle and Robyn I can’t say I blame her. Wendy could’ve given them each a presidential suite and they’d still complain. That’s what bitter bitches do. they said they were not going AND they came late. So Wendy is supposed to give them preferential treatment (when they said they weren’t coming) bc Robyn is bleeding and Gizelle broke her toe. Ashley offered her bathroom to them but that wasn’t good enough. It was insulting for Robyn to say the men pee on the floor. Maybe that happens in her home but she wasn’t even there long enough to make that assessment. Robyn was broke broke a few seasons ago…my how things have changed lol.
Robyn lives in a house with 3 men. She should be used to pee on the floor!
Gizelle and Robyn have decided not to like Wendy and Wendy is not very likeable. Those statements are not mutually exclusive and can both be true at the same time, and they are. IMHO, the core group is Karen, Gizelle, and Robyn. Make no mistake about it, these three ladies have history together and though Gizelle and Karen APPEAR to be at odds most of the time, they are like family members that mostly don’t like each other, but realize that they’re family. Gizelle and Robyn are actual friends….off and on the screen and I think they’ve decided that they’re not going to let anything that happens on the show affect that. Ashley is a part of that group because she’s earned the respect of Karen and the Green Eyes. She’s had beef with each and every one of them, held her ground, and come out a winner. However, Ashley is secure. She has father issues (it was heartbreaking to watch her father refuse to come out and meet her), but she’s secure in her marriage and has no problems with how unconventional it may appear to be. It works for her and Michael, and I applaud the way she doesn’t bend to public opinion about her life. With that being said, I don’t think Wendy has that same level of security, so the Green Eyes will always be able to dig at her. She does well in the “get-back,” but it looks like it costs her peace of mind, so she’s actually not winning at all. I think she “crunk it up” because the suits probably told her this was a make or break season for her, but it doesn’t appear to be a successful reset to me. (However, the work she’s had done looks great to me). Candiace, Candiace, Candiace, what can I say? Her behavior is reprehensible MOST of the time, but there is still a small part of me that sees SOMETHING in her that is good and salvageable. Maybe, I’m just delusional. Mia…..I think she’s a bit like Wendy. On the outside, they’re all bravado and confidence, but I sense that Mia struggles with insecurity too. She and her mom briefly mentioned her being burned as a child due to the negligence of the parents and she may still be struggling from scars both physical and mental that cause her to be insecure.
There is something salvageable in everyone, as long as a person can humble themselves. Chris is correct, she needs to be the bigger person and that means saying I’m sorry and humbling herself. If she can have empathy for others too, then I will give Candiace a chance.
Well after watching the Bravo after show Wendy knew that room was for them already, it was the only other”room”, even in the “cottage “ those 3 women had their private rooms🤷♀️. My thoughts on Gordon🤯 enough said, Mia is an instigator and if her mothers sobriety is vulnerable she should’nt have bought it on the show for a storyline,JMO🤷♀️ Ashley had her say and was correct to everything she said, Poor Chris😩don’t think Askale husband going on no more “COUPLE TRIPS “ can you blame him. Gizzelle and Robin should have stayed home, but production needed them to go so they could get that jacked up room with the Crab Cake Sandwich on one of the beds and have something and no bathroom so they’ll be pissed and leave and keep the arguments with Wendy going, it was supposed to happen this way , about to stop watching it’s getting to be same junk !
Hopefully your doing okay TT . M Killebrew
