Happy Thanksgiving, and welcome to an extra special RHUGT Recap for the holiday weekend! Who’s ready for another boat ride? And who’s ready for another shady game? Since Kenya takes over hosting duties for this week’s yacht trip, we know some good shit is about to go down! And since Teresa is doing dinner, we know tables are about to flip as all the sparks fly. With all that said, let’s just dive right into the mess like Luann dives into the open water.
Peacock Just Gave Us A Thanksgiving Day RHUGT Episode!
In case anyone here doubts our determination to keep you on top of all the RHUGT drama, I’m writing this from my father’s house on Thanksgiving morning. I love my family… including my online family, right here at Tamara Tattles. Speaking of family bonding time, we kick off with Kyle and Ramona bonding in the confessional room. Finally, Cynthia isn’t the only one using that confessional room! Meanwhile downstairs, Michael – the house concierge who has to work overtime as Luann’s office faux-mance – helped the other staff clean up after Melissa’s game night gone extra wild. Michael also expressed some relief that they would have extra time to clean the house and prepare for dinner with Kenya taking the rest of the Housewives out for a “Gone with the Wind Fabulous” themed yacht outing for the day.

In her confessional, Kenya gushed, “It’s going to be a rich bitch yacht day!” And on the boat, Kenya told them all to “turn all the way up!” For a hot second, it seemed like Kenya and Ramona could finally bury some hatchets, as Ramona gushed over the large and lavish yacht. Ramona even led the first round of toasts: “Cheers to Kenya for bringing us here!” But then, all of sudden, some paparazzi showed up, leading Kyle to freak out. Kenya, on the other hand, was unbothered: “Honey, I have already posted my photos, OK? Check my Instagram. “ @thekenyamoore.”
Really Serious For A Yacht Party
From there, the Housewives ran into rougher waters once the rain started to fall. This time, Kyle tried her best to keep her spirits high as she raised her margarita glass: “God is my bartender.” The rest of the wives, however, rushed to grab lunch downstairs. Once they refilled their cocktail glasses and grabbed some grub, they returned to a better mood… Until Ramona tried to rewrite history (again). Luann quickly corrected Ramona on her history of being rude to staff. Ramona then turned to Melissa to get goofy with her, which then triggered Kenya, which then got Cynthia to unload on all of them (again).

That got Melissa to blurt out, “This is meant to be fun, not serious. This is really serious for a yacht party.” But then again, Melissa should have known better. Then, Melissa dropped some surprisingly sage wisdom: “I think it’s fair to say we all need self-awareness. We’re all motherfuckin’ attention whores!” Of course, that triggered Cynthia even more. A little later, Cynthia sought to reassure Kyle that, “We’re good,” but that just reminded Kyle of all the times Erika Jayne insisted, “We’re good,” when it was really anything but. Finally, a boat full of men showed up. And just like that, Ramona had a bunch of new bright shiny objects to play with. Ramona said the men wanted attention, but we know who really enjoyed the attention.
Game Time Turns South (Again)
For yacht game time, Kenya prepared an extra special edition of “Who Said That?”, the game where Housewives must own up to shady things they said about each other in past seasons. Immediately, Ramona fell in the hot seat over her meddling in Luann’s relationship with Tom D’Agostino by calling Tom’s other exes and sniffing for dirt on them. Luann may have had a hard time finding comfort and support from her RHONY castmates, but on this yacht Teresa and Kenya immediately backed up Luann and called out Ramona. Even Kyle tried to get Ramona to back off on Luann and the perpetual “It’s About Tom” shitshow.

As Kenya continued calling her out on Harry’s-Dick-and-Tom-gate, Ramona shouted back, “Fuck you!” Here we go again. Kenya immediately read her for absolute filth, and topped it off with, “You think you are a queen, but you will never be a queen. You act like a peasant!” Ramona cried in Kyle’s arms as she refused to take accountability, even as Kenya forcibly removed her drink. At that point Cynthia and Melissa tried to get Kenya to ease up on Ramona, but Kenya said she couldn’t take any more of Ramona’s narcissistic jabs because she reminded Kenya of Marc.
Another Ramona Apology Goes Off The Rails
Even as some of the Housewives tried to talk Kenya off the ledge, nearly all of them appeared to be fed up with Ramona’s antics. Kyle even lamented, “Dealing with Ramona is like dealing with a child,” as she begged Ramona to apologize to Luann and Kenya to clean up the mess she started. And even though Kyle didn’t want to read the Los Angeles Times’ articles on RHOBH castmate Erika Jayne last season, she nonetheless got stuck coaching Ramona on how to speak English and properly pronounce her words.

While Kyle attempted to get Ramona to behave better, the rest of the girls were comforting Luann. Teresa fumed over how Ramona got away with this shit for so long on RHONY. Then Kenya walked away just when Ramona came down to apologize to Luann. Of course Luann accepted Ramona’s latest apology and (backhanded?) compliment about Ramona’s sexuality. Until Ramona (again) excused her meddling in Luann’s relationship with Tom by exclaiming, “I knew he’d be a trainwreck for you.” Luann walked away, then jumped into the sea. I can’t blame her for that.
Mangia, Mangia… Or Just More Drama?
As they all sought to regroup, Kenya tried to reboot her yacht day: “The ultimate rule of a Housewife is: You can’t let these bitches get you down.” She then sentenced Ramona to “solitary confinement” with the camera crew on a dinghy, but Ramona eventually rejoined the group for Melissa’s little TikTok project. All that, and Ramona still couldn’t do even the simplest of a TikTok dance. On the way back to the villa, the girls dished on Ramona’s drinking. They tried to devise a game plan to prevent Ramona from fucking up Teresa’s homestyle Italian dinner. Teresa figured it out while preparing dinner. She gave Ramona a sneak preview of the chicken parmigiana, then let Michael the concierge guide her upstairs. From there, Ramona just took care of herself by going on a wild goose chase for her smartphone.

Finally, they all made it downstairs for dinner. Teresa tried to “make it nice,” but she still managed to fit in a few digs at Ramona. This opened the door for Cynthia to unload on Ramona for using the house “glam squad.” Apparently, she did not pay her full bill when they were supposed to be working on Cynthia’s hair and makeup. Here we go, yet again. Cynthia wondered aloud whether Ramona has “low-key dementia.” Ramona continued to attempt to rewrite history regarding when the “glam squad” were supposed to work on which Housewife. Kenya actually backed up Cynthia on this, but Kyle couldn’t take any more of it, and Melissa just wanted to eat.
Kenya Reads Ramona To Absolute Filth!
From there, the drama just turned contagious. Luann suddenly flipped on Teresa for insinuating she’s a “pushover” for Ramona. Kenya twirled away from the dinner table out of sorrow and frustration. Kyle ran in to retrieve Kenya. But then Ramona bolted from the dinner table. As Ramona ran in the house, she blurted out a wildly epic word salad full of credit score, yellow dresses, credit card bills, and animalistic squealing. Good luck even trying to figure out what the fuck is in Ramona’s head. Kenya returned to the dinner table and apologized to everyone for the bumpy yacht ride earlier in the day. Then, she really went in on Ramona, “I think she is really delusional, and possibly insane.”

Then, Kenya gave perhaps the most epic read of this season of RHUGT, “A really freakin’ frail old lady, coming to me and saying crazy stuff?” Followed by, “ It’s like – Girl, do you need a nap? Do you need some Geritol? Do you need your dementia medications? Get your Depends and everything else, and get yourself together.” Kyle busted out laughing. Luann tried to hide her own giggles. Melissa made Kenya go on the record and admit she wanted to read the hell out of Ramona. Finally, we finished this episode with Ramona whining to the staff. Ramona complaining about the other Housewives. While all the time reclaiming her alleged victimhood. Then she demanded more red wine as the inflated flamingo flipped over in the pool. On that note we wrap up Episode #5, so I’ll leave you to enjoy the rest of your Thanksgiving Weekend. Until next week!
Thanks so much for both post you contributed this week! Especially this one you wrote on Thanksgiving day!
My issue with all that we have heard is that it seems like Kyle isn’t much fonder of Ramona than anyone else. Perhaps that changes on later episodes? Perhaps Kyle was just being polite when she said she forgave Ramona’s horrible behavior because she makes her laugh (probably more at her than with her?).
Just to clarify, I’m personally not so much mad at Kyle as I am wondering why Kyle is so willing to go easy on Ramona when she knows how Ramona’s antics would play on RHOBH. (For some reason, I can hear Dorinda Medley shouting, “Not well, bitch!”)
Perhaps Kyle was just more willing to go easy on her because she knew that Kenya and Teresa would go in for the kill? In this aspect, it makes sense that the RHOBH OG would take the very LA approach of talking about feelings and “being honest” while Ramona’s fellow East Coast Housewives went hard on Ramona’s ass.
Oh I got the feeling that Kyle was just sort of over her as well from the recaps. I love that Teresa of all people was smart enough to know to just feed Ramona first at these dinners and send her on the way.
Those were two very good posts atdleft. I enjoyed reading them both. Thank you for helping TT out. Even though I don’t watch RHW shows regularly, between you and our Fearless Leader, I don’t have to. LOL😂😂
Have a great day!
Kenya does take it to the next level but Ramona does start the confrontations.
I don’t watch RHONY so I only have this show to assess Ramona and she looks like a drunk. Not someone who had too much to drink but someone with a problem. Not judging, just saying.
Wow, what a shit show! Can’t wait to see it later today. Thanks for a most descriptive recap, Atdleft!
Here I am, home alone on Thanksgiving (with my new baby lovebird, Pickle), in severe sciatic nerve pain when I walk or stand. Thankfully, I can sit and lie down without pain. Chiropractor appointment on Tuesday actually made it worse instead of better. Sigh. Anyone have any home remedies? Pain extends from my hip all the way down my right leg. I can only walk without pain if I am bent over, giving me signs of life ahead… No bueno!
Thankful for this site and all the left-leaning posters! Yeah, I said that. HUGS
Oh, gosh. Thanks, Deb, and I’m so sorry about the pain you’re going through.
And yes, RHUGT has given us plenty of shitshows so far, but IMHO so far they’ve made for good TV. While this episode felt more planned and more like what we’ve seen thoughout the franchises in recent years, it still made for easy watching. And honestly, the first four episodes felt much more “real” in that I didn’t notice any producer’s heavy hands in the storylines that unfolded on camera. Maybe those were also planned in advance? Even if they were, the first four episodes nonetheless felt more like “The Real Housewives” early years in that we got more authentic talk and less paint-by-numbers-esque “scandal”.
Agree that it’s been an easy-to-watch show! I’ve enjoyed the first four episodes much more than I expected to.
@Deb in SF, I’m terribly sorry about your sciatic nerve issues. Been there, done it and came home with muscle relaxers and pain meds. Unless you go to a “real” pain management doctor, there won’t be any relief honey. Check in your area to see if you can find one. I use the Spine and Wellness Center here in Georgia. The docs are specialized in anesthesia and can maybe give you stay its to lessen the pain. It’s coming from that nerve being pinched, you’ll probably need a CT scan or an MRI to confirm. Sending you good vibes and love.
***give you some shots to lessen the pain***
Damn auto correct
Thank you! Definitely from a pinched nerve. Not my first bout with this pain that makes me whimper. But it feels better today, after some minor stretching, an ice pack, and ibuprofen. Had to cancel plans with two friends tonight and tomorrow. Hoping the pain subsides more each day.
Try Chinese massage therapist. Acupressure massage therapy. Soaz muscle gets tight and makes the sciatic nerve go crazy it’s happened to me most horrible pain I’ve ever had all the way down to my foot I have neuropathy in my left foot because of it. I don’t go to chiropractors anymore after years of going to them I go for acupressure massage.
Thank you! I’ll look into it.
Hello Deb, I hope you get better. Having suffered from sciatica for years I can highly recommend osteopathic manipulation for relief and subsequent cure. Try to find a good osteopath in the bay area. Get well soon!
Another excellent suggestion, thanks! I should have done that a long time ago.
Argh, Sciatica/ Sciatic nerve pain is so bad!! While, I’m sure you are doing the typical ice pack ( I often just referred to it as freezing the pain away)
May I also suggest, An inversion table!
Amazing! It has helped both myself & my husband when we’ve been in a sciatic nightmare, as well as any & all other back / neck … pain’s & aches!
We have friends that’ll come use it even, my boss bought one for the office even (New at a yard-sale for $20$)
So if anyone here has ever thought about one or was on the fence, I highly recommend one!
It does wonders, We bow try to use it everyday Just for Maintance between Chriopractor appointments.
Warning
* Don’t ma the mistake I did & Go directly upside down & hang way longer than suggested!
Follow directions! Work up to full inversion!
And When Looking at them to purchase, Only important thing is that the foot clamp/ adjustment has a pull up bar. Bc When ur backs hurting, You can’t always bend way far over to your feet/ toes to close the ankles holder part.
All the other up sell stuff ( Massage, heat Extra back pillows etc, I don’t find necessarily worth the money ) but thats just me!
Happy Hanging!
Hopefully you have already gotten relief!
I was prescribed Pregabalin ( Lyrica ) for chronic sciatica which resulted from a spinal fracture. I take it every day and it’s a miracle . Ask your Dr. if it could help you.
I really thought all of Kenya’s reads were very low brow and not at all that witty. All the ageism jokes from someone who is no spring chicken herself. I am not a Romana fan either and I agree with Luann it is best just to ignore her.
I felt the same! Her comments were so ageist!! Additionally, as much as I HATE Ramona, Kenya had no right grabbing her the way she did. I can’t believe the self proclaimed “shade assassin” was unable to use her words to read Ramona.
I understand: Kenya can go very low with her shade, and she did it again on RHUGT. I’ve been willing to cut her slack because Marc is a monster and so is Ramona, but you have a point about ageism.
It may be easier for Luann to ignore Ramona, but clearly the other Housewives from different locales had shorter fuses and less patience available for Ramona.
Ditto. And please gang correct me if I’m wrong…but I rewound the yacht footage a few times and Kenya left a scratch mark on Ramona’s left arm when she hit the drink out of her hand. That got too heated and physical way too quick. It disappointed me coming from Kenya after she was assaulted by Porsha at that reunion years ago. Did anyone else catch that?
Yes! Yes! Yes! Ramona is a rude idiot and we all know it! But Kenya is just a vile human being….she can say anything and you better agree, but someone else says something she goes batshit crazy mean! I would love to see Kenya and Wendy together, kumbaya or world war 3? Also Kenya should have been asked to leave the trip for laying hands and throwing drinks on someone. Not defending Ramona, but keep your hands to yourself! And she keeps claiming every one else is trying to be in the spotlight , duh! But it’s really her!
The ageism shade seemed to go over really well with a group of “girls” who are either peeking over the hill, cresting the hill, or on the way down the hill. Seriously Kenya. You had time to prepare your shade and you pull out that lame crap?
I have learned to embrace my over the hill. Once I turned 60, I gained an amazing super power. As an old female, I became invisible! I could eavesdrop without impunity. I could move amongst assholes without them paying attention to what I was up to. I use misogynistic ageism to my fucking advantage.
Maybe I just have a soft spot for Kenya, but I see where you’re coming from. On RHOP, I roll my eyes whenever Candiace whips out another “Yo Mama” insult and/or another body-shaming diatribe. Sometimes I just want to shout back at the TV, “Get better material,” whenever Candiace goes there. One thing I’ve really come to appreciate about RHOA is how the Atlanta Housewives absolutely bring it with their reads.
RAMONA IS A VILE SELF ABSORBED RUDE AND ENTITLED SORRY NOT SORRY EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THATS HOLY….MAKE IT STOP!!!
Ramona claims to be a self-made businesswoman but thinks 800 is the highest credit score?! #dumb
🤔ken has been a nasty bitch from day one she joined RHOA ,🤨I’m so sick of people giving ken a pass for her being a” shade assassin,” she’s just a nasty person who shouldn’t be talking ageism when she’s about to be 51, she little Ramona on RHOA just not 💩 on floors, and can we stop blaming Marc for her behavior, if I recall he didn’t like her actions, one of the reasons why he didn’t want to film show, and up until she realized that divorce was going to happen she was smiling and singing and praising him, Kyle gonna do whatever to always keep her Diamond secured, poor 50 cent needs to home watching the cheater, because whether on or off show he’s gonna cheat, his all female group of friends tried to tell her this, and Teresa is in for more abuse, I don’t think lou is as nice as he’s acting which will put her brother in a bad place, Ramona and Luanne relationship will remain in tact, because luanne likes living in her shadow, I know this post will not be received well but this is my feelings about them today🤷♀️Ijs❣️
I guess I have FOMO. I can’t imagine why else I would comment on a show I can’t even watch (no peacock) But Bethenny was responsible for “It’s about Tom gate”Yes Ramona called people to get dirt, but it was Bethenny who got the pictures and proof that Tom was cheating on Luann at The Regency just days after their engagement party. Or was it before? I can’t remember. But I can picture a gif of Bethenny saying in her confessional: “and the cheating, and the cheating and the cheating.”
I don’t like Kyle getting sloppy drunk. None of these ladies are amusing when they’re wasted. Only Leah and Sonja can be in an embarrassing drunken stupor and still be entertaining at the same time.
Did everyone catch Melissa loudly telling Kenya “These are all the exact recipes my mother-in-law made,” like she’s praising it, knowing it would get under Teresa’s skin since Melissa has always said that Teresa didn’t make up the recipes herself; she used her mother’s. From day-one Melissa used that criticism of Teresa’s cookbooks. (so what? They are family recipes and Teresa is the daughter.)
Melissa has always been jealous of Teresa.
Ramona is awful. Kenya wants to start crap. Luann can’t stand when the attention is not on her. Cynthia is just a beating.
I’m confused because I thought the show was free to watch on the Peacock app?? I watched the first episode and now it’s saying I need a “premium” account to watch the additional episodes! LMAO who will pay to watch this shit!?
What crawled up Cynthia’s ass? She is such a buzzkill. Methinks there is trouble in paradise with her marriage. I sincerely hope not, but already having problems communicating worries me. Kyle gave great advice to surround yourself with happy couples.
Why have I never heard #shadeassassin before? All now to the shade Queen!! I think I love Kenya?! I LOVE this crew, and how they are breaking the fourth wall over and over! $100 for glam. Sounds fair. Very fair. Just give her the fucking money Ramona!
Ramona is just a terrible human being. I mean, I know we need a protagonist or antagonist or whatever it is, but she is just painful to watch. I am loving LuAnn (who knew). Ramona really doesn’t need to be there. At all.
I loved your links, especially the Porsha one! Thank you so much, great recap, and I love your name, just got it!! Atdleft! Very clever!! I could watch these girls trips forever-
