Well, at least this weeks title seems interesting. Last week’s episode certainly was not. Let’s do this RHOSLC Recap and see what’s on the agenda. I haven’t even watched any previews because my hunk of junk laptop doesn’t want to right click anymore. Oh an in other random Jen Shah news she is allegedly being paid big bucks to host some sort of meet and greet at Larry Flynt’s strip club in NYC this Friday. I need someone on the streets to find out who in the hell would want her autograph. What the hell is she signing? Boobs?
Mary’s tagline is so ridiculously bad. She’s a cult leader who clearly isn’t in real tight with Jesus and knows nothing about him. Anyway, Whitney and Lisa go to do a silks class. Why? Why is Whitney trying so hard to be friends with Lisa? Lisa is awful. Over at Mary’s house her husband Robert is back at the house for the first time in about a year due to the pandemic. Mary secretly loved the time apart. They clearly do not get along.
Fishy Friends
Lisa, Meredith and Jennie go for a fish pedicure. I have always wanted to do that. But, I hear it is sort of dangerous. Lisa gives her version of her outing with Whitney. Jennie talks to the ladies about Duy pushing her to have more kids. Good Lord, she has been pregnant 13 times and only has the three kids. So one still birth at 42 weeks, and nine miscarriages. What kind of husband would push for more babies after all of that???!!! Is it me or are all the storylines getting sadder and sadder? I don’t need this today.

Jen and her accomplice, Stuart (who has allegedly already rolled on her) go to a jeweler to look at emeralds. She wants to buy all her “friends” i.e. castmates, jewelry. They settle on snowflake necklaces. The jeweler was promoted so she won’t have to pay the bill. Meanwhile, Heather is giving her grownass daughter, who is going off to college the sex talk you would give a ten year old. When a man and a woman love each other very, very much… Seriously?
It Was Totally A Set Up
They are really trying to push this friendship thing between Lisa and Whitney. I am so ready for them to break up again. It’s ridiculous. But it seems a double date is in order because their husbands really like each other. The restaurant they are at has a married couple as chefs who were the caterers for Angie’s party that Lisa allegedly had cancel on Angie at the last minute. The chefs have denied that Lisa had them cancel and said Angie knew why they had to cancel. In the meantime, they keep brining Vida Tequila drinks to the table. I think that is Lisa’s tequila brand. So clearly Lisa is in tight with the owners. And this is a promo for their restaurant.

Whitney realizes that she has been set up by Lisa. The chefs come out and they start randomly talking to Whitney about why they had to cancel on Angie’s event. There was no real reason given. It was because it was on a Friday? They just didn’t want to do it? WTF? I am totally team Whitney. I agree that it is all a set up. For whatever reason, Whitney still wants to try to be friends with Lisa. WHY?
Mama Drama
Next there is some sad scene with Jen Shah and her husband and son. She has signed up to volunteer at his high school. You know what no kid wants? Their mother in their high school. Followed very closely by their mother being arrested on a reality show. She totally sucks as a mother and her very cute son has one expression toward her. An angry glare. This is not second grade where kids are happy when mommy shows up with cupcakes for the class. Fun Fact I think they banned that when I was teaching or maybe cupcakes were okay but full cakes were not? I forget why. But, I do remember reading Too Many Tamales every year and inviting parents just so I could get homemade tamales. I have no shame at all about that. Those moms could make the hell out of some tamales.

Something about Mary reminds me of Candiace from RHOP. Am I the only one? Anyway Lisa and Mary attempt to play tennis. Neither of them knows how to play. So they just chat. Lisa played in a fur coat, by the way. So they talk about the husbands. While Mary loves when her husband is gone, Lisa does not. She actually wants to live with her husband. He on the other hand has his own job in the yankee city they actually live in and can’t be here all the time to film with her. ALLGEDLY. Mary says they don’t sleep in the same room when he is home. Apparently, it was his idea. Mary is upset her son is going to move out soon. Then, she will be alone with her Grandpa/husband. She’s not sure how that will work.
Men Are Horrible
Next up Duy and Jennie go cross country skiing. I don’t understand that concept, but okay. They seem to be enjoying it and each other. UNTIL… They sit down to talk and Duy brings up more babies again. Now that I know the backstory I think he is an evil vile man for pushing this subject. It’s downright cruel. SHE HAD TEN MISCARRIAGES! TEN! He starts talking about how the worst day in his life was when they had a baby who died during the birth. He brings up the possibility of a surrogate. She says she doesn’t have the energy to raise another kid. And then this bastard says, “Maybe we should get a sister wife?”
She should have said, “Maybe we should get a divorce.” I think she should file for one immediately.
Jennie and Wendy are on WWHL which was tacked on to this episode for ratings. So I will begrudgingly watch and fill you in on comments regarding Andy’s ratchet little show that no one is actually watching.
This show is so hella messy, and I just keep watching because I love mess.
With that said, I am getting irritated over the shady editing. Since the producers are happy to air dirty laundry about Jen and Mary, why aren’t they doing the same for Whitney and Justin? It’s not that hard to find receipts.
I really feel for Jennie. Duy knows Jennie faces severe risks if she tries another pregnancy, yet he still wants her to get pregnant again? I agree with you: Jennie has every reason to leave his sorry ass.
Has Lisa figured out yet where we can actually buy Vida Tequila? For all my respective criticisms of them, Bethenny and LVP can easily tell us where we can find their booze. If all else fails, just give us the website! So this tequila is allegedly Lisa’s passion, but she can’t even let us know where we can find Vida for sale?
Why on earth would anyone want to buy housewives booze anyway?
Yeeeees. I want to see Whitney and Justin’s mlm stuff and lawsuits!
Teresa Guidice has a college degree!
No words.
Money can buy you classes?
That was definitely a set up. Theyre trying to clear their name to not lose clients because this looks really bad on them. That wasn’t just some b.s. housewives party; it was a fundraiser!
Mary tires me.
Jennie definitely needs to file. He is selfish AF.
I liked Duy until tonight. That was one of the most painful conversations I’ve ever watched. I was glad Whitney called out Lisa at the restaurant. I just felt sorry for their husbands.
It was a total set up. No one should ever hire this catering company EVER because they accepted the job and canceled the week of because “it was a Friday”?! They KNEW it was a Friday when they accepted the job. And the way that stupid owner looked at Lisa when she said it! Lisa is the worst and I sick and tired of hearing about her tequila.
I am questioning if Duy and Jenny are Mormon because didn’t someone say they were Catholic? Duy is an a-hole. He doesn’t even listen to her and care about her feelings.
I want a snowflake necklace! Or we should get TT necklaces like Elvis gave his friends.
Yes, Jennie said she is Catholic in an interview.
I can understand Whitney trying to be friendly with Lisa because they are on the show together and, more importantly IMO, for her husband but geez .. the owners coming to the table felt like a whole set up. Either to clear Lisa or to get on TV. Regardless, it was not a good look for them or Lisa. They basically trashed Angie and that wouldn’t sit right with me if I was Lisa, who is supposedly her friend of over 20 years, I would’ve made more noise than Whitney did. Shows you how Lisa operates. The scene with Jen Shah with her son and hubby was very sad to me. Obviously, this kid is hurt but the way his dad stood up for me made me love Coach Shah. It also showed me how much her behavior (prior to the arrest) really affected the whole family. No amount of cupcakes or snowflakes can make up for her being an asshole on national TV. Mary is bizarre but most cult leaders (allegedly) are. I wonder who will be divorced first … her or Jen Shah. I wanted to like Duy because I’m liking Jennie and love their kids. Their family scenes remind me of how Housewives episodes used to be. But he is a selfish, disrespectful prick. I cannot imagine losing a child let alone having 9 miscarriages. I can understand wanting more children but to put your wife’s physical and mental health at risk and then suggest cheating as a solution boggles my mind. Ruin the beautiful family you have to get what you want. It shows his lack of character and morals. It might be part of their culture but it definitely wasn’t part of their relationship. She might get to the courthouse before Mary or Coach Shah … and I wouldn’t blame her one bit!!
I like Mary this season! She’s so human! She’s renovating her dated house, she bakes cookies, she sucks at tennis but participates for the outfits. I really like her! No, I am not a criminal and I support myself and don’t take money from low income parishioners. Mary is funny. Omg, I’m going to turn into a criminal because now I like her…. Whitney is a sweet person and I like that she can advocate for herself amidst Lisa’s sneakiness. That restaurant scene with the owners was a straight up set-up and Lisa is a gaslighter by trying to cover it up. Heather had a tough time talking about sex with her daughter. It was so sweet to see her try to balance her religion’s teaching with the 21st century. She’s a great mom and she is trying her best. I couldn’t do better. Wow, Jennie and Duy went deep. It made me want to cry!
Very sad scenes happening. Poor Jennie. And Duy has shown himself is a selfish asshole for the world to see. I hope his friends all saw it.
I feel sorry for Mary. This season she seems to show her honest feelings and knows she is trapped in that marriage. Her husband was a jerk. I wonder how divorce plays in their church and who holds the purse strings. She needs coins to buy all those clothes (love love loved her Thom Brown tennis outfit).
Props to Coach Shah. He was very kind to Jen while protecting his son. I know teens are sullen, but that guy was furious to be on the show and at Jen in general. Poor kid.
Lisa is a snake. That is all.
Jen Shaw’s poor son looking like “Oh please, no!! Help me dad!” If his mother’s wacko behavior on tv isn’t enough, I am sure she has anger breakdown’s on the regular at home! Nobody wants to be associated with that in HS!
And I had to go back and pause it when Heather was talking to her daughter about college. Not just the awkward birds and the bees stuff but did anyone else notice what her daughter was carrying out when she left? It was a packaged game of Boobie Beer Pong!! Who gives any 18 year old something like that to go off to college with? Especially when Heather was worrying about her “going wild”.
I swear, my episode has NO JEN SHAH AND SON scene in it! I’m like wtf?! Where is that? I’ve watched thru three times. Is Bravo doing some stealth focus group/regional market research? I put nothing past these networks – especially NBC.
We watch it on Amazon prime and it had no gin and son and Shaw seen also.
@Stella – Thank you for that! Me too! Separate edits distributed to Amazon Prime… or YouTube? lol. BTW, I saw the dialogue (of the Jen Shah /son scene) show up on the closed caption during the tennis scene. Well, that’s a first.
I’m with you. No scene with Jen, coach, and the son that’s been recapped. I’m in Los Angeles.
Lisa got busted big time and I’m glad Whitney called her out on it! You know Lisa has approached every restaurant and bar in Salt Lake promising camera time in exchange for carrying her Vodka brand. Lisa is conniving as F***.
Whitney doesn’t need a “friend” like Lisa, stay away from that 🐍, and Mary is like a confused child sometimes, Robert clearly doesn’t want to be around her either, it’s always was about the money which as Mary is seeing now doesn’t buy happiness, and this sweet mom version Jen is trying to pull off is too late, that young man was shooting laser beams at her and poor coach was trying to ever do gently tell her to LEAVE THIS CHILD ALONE, but she’s so wrapped up in herself she can’t hear him. Now Duy, wants what he wants and doesn’t care about Jennie physical or mental health, and she said on WWHL that she was shocked when he talked about a sister wife because they’ve never had a conversation about this before and she was caught off guard, I would have slapped the snot out of him, 10 lost babies this woman has tried repeatedly to bring in to this world and your selfish ass now wants to sleep with another woman so you can have a baby that she says she wants no part of, sir you may lose your wife and the children will go with her so I’d tread lightly. Also those caterers looked foolish blurting out they don’t work on Friday Lisa told them to cancel, her poor husband was so embarrassed.
Your Too Many Tamales story made me laugh! I teach 2nd grade and my friend and I came up with social studies holiday units that ended with a party so we could make the parents bring us food. Cinco de Mayo (anything Mexican – we are in Texas), Chinese New Year (egg rolls anyone?), Black History Month (African cuisine), etc. The kids LOVED them but it might explain why my clothes don’t fit anymore!
I wish I had a tamale…
I have many thoughts after watching this episode. Mary is exceeding my expectations as a housewife and remains a total mystery to me. I can’t wait to see where all this goes. Also the preview was funny because the one time she gets out of her closet to a full group event she immediately lands in two feuds lol. Also, Angie!
Whitney I love analyzing, and she is getting much bolder this season. The way she immediately attacked Lisa in front of the husbands/TV crew/restaurant when she discovered the setup, risking breaking the fourth wall, and then shut her up by offering a truce instead of getting up and walking out, was perfection. Whitney 1, Lisa 0.
Jennie and her husband are a situation. It’s clear as day that they chose the pregnancy storyline well ahead of filming these scenes, but unlike the rest of the world what shocked me this episode is the trauma and grief that she AND HE experienced with the miscarriage. The storyline might be forced, but there is a whole lot of real emotion behind it. I’m also not that offended by his very poor choice of words, because I can hear him loud and clear that having more children is pretty much all he wants in life and he is thinking about leaving Jennie to get there. I don’t think Jennie is hearing that. I agree with Meredith that they should get therapy and not let this fester and grow.
Heather is lovely. Her daughters are a testament to her character. Jen’s son lashing out her was painful to watch, but hey sometimes parents need a jolt. Stu is in pretty much every episode, so if I were Jen I’d start worrying. Bravo is clearly not on her side and ready to exploit her all the way to the correctional facility.
I’ve had multiple miscarriages, and I can’t wrap my brain around that segment. Here’s a theory: it’s just storyline and they’re going to work it all out and he’s going to ENDURE a day of mild pain to get snipped.
They don’t really have any storyline otherwise. No idea why either of them would agree to this storyline, but for the love of god, I hope it is fake.
I’m not sure I can’t watch it regardless and it’s taking way too long to get to the good stuff. The last two episodes could have been half an episode. If we’re going down this weird miscarriage path, maybe I’ll just have to read here, like I did for RHOA.
After watching so many years of The Real Housewives of (fill in the blank), Jennie & Duy may have joined the cast because one of them wants out of the marriage & bringing up these issues may be their ticket out.
That’s pretty dark, but it is on brand.
I wish Heather did not have so many scenes with her daughter. One would have been enough. It’s like she’s not even on the same show as the other women. The show seems too Lisa and Whitney centric. It’s too much. Lisa is shady.
Loving Mary, even though she is odd. I don’t think it is an act. Love her scenes with Meredith.
The Jen Shah scenes with her family are just plain awkward. They barely tolerate her.
Jennie and her husband do not know how to cross country ski. You are supposed to glide. Yawning about the contrived let’s have a baby nonsense. He just looks bad.
I’m not buying the Jennie and Duy story line..it’s controversial but seems so put on. What else has she got for a story? I’m betting this one disappears as fast as the Countess trying to get pregnant with her French lover. Lisa and Whitney are just a hot mess. Mary has a lot there to unpack. Meredith was a real listener this episode and she’s my favorite so far along with Heather.
Love me some homemade tamales too!
