In the summertime, when 8 or 9 p.m. rolls around. I often wonder how the heck it got so late and scramble to get ready to recap. In the winter time like today, around 6:30 p.m. I can’t understand how early it is and how I am going to stay up long enough to pound out a recap. Then, once I am finished for the night I am wide awake. I don’t mind the winter weather at all. It’s the lack of sunlight that is annoying AF. Anyway, the big news on tonight’s RHOSLC recap is going to be the hot mic moment we saw on the previews. Lisa is locked in the bathroom alone ranting outloud under her breath. Someone on Twitter has posted was is supposed to be the full profanity laced tirade. It’s supposedly not all going to be aired.
Strange Relationships Are Forming?
We start with a little bit of a flash back to some unseen footage of the night before where there was much drinking and then… much fighting. Wait WHAT? There was much drinking and much drunken makeups and flirting? I did not see that coming at all. The next morning it’s one of those divide and conquer days where the girls sign up in small groups to cover all the places Bravo is giving free promos to in exchange for filming. I must say the groups are a bit unexpected. So, Heather and Lisa Barlow are going horseback riding. Whitney and Jen are going to go ride ATVs. Meanwhile, Mary, Jennie, and Meredith are the smart ones who are going to the spa.

Lisa acts like she is doing some great act of kindness to film with Heather. It’s clear she didn’t sign up for this. Also, Heather stupidly wears short shorts and a long open robe to ride a horse. That will be some serious inner thigh rash! Whitney and Jen are driving more of a dune buggy than an ATV. Whitney drives the dune buggy around at full speed! Lisa and Heather sit down for a chat. They seem to be bonding. Heather says that she feels bad that Meredith “isn’t showing up” for Lisa. The tension is building between Lisa and Meredith. Whitney and Lisa claim they were told different times for memorial so she lied to somebody. Whitney and Jen have the same scripted conversation. Excuse me, but isn’t Lisa sort of planting the seeds that Meredith somehow lied about her father’s Memorial?
Detective Whitney Is On The Case
Whitney asks Jen if there is something more going on between Jen and Meredith. She hints during here talking head about the rumors that Jen and Meredith were sleeping with the same dude. She thinks the has to be a larger issue between Jen and Meredith. Whitney and Jen both think it is odd that Meredith doesn’t have an issue with Mary or her cult. They plan to address these issues with Meredith. Meanwhile, Meredith, Mary and Jennie arrive at the spa. Mary snarks about Jennie in the spa. Mary also doesn’t disrobe at all for her spa treatment.

Meredith is upset that Jennie told Jen about her hiring private investigators. Jennie apologizes and she said she had no ill intentions toward her and it won’t happen again. Meredith is either really relaxed by the massage or high. Her voice is even slower than usual. Jennie is upset her husband refuses to go to couples counseling. Jennie asks Mary about her husband and she says is is not comfortable talking about that because she “doesn’t know her like that. The she storms off. As Jennie said, all she had to do is say “He fine.”
Meredith Disengages, Again
Jen is “hosting” a Cinco de Mayo party. It’s allegedly the result of Mary calling her a “Mexican Thug.” Didn’t LeeAnne get fired (which killed the whole franchise) for calling that girl who actually was Mexican a “chirpy little Mexican”? And that was completely factual. But now we are having some sort of highly scripted racial slur dinner? Oh Meredith, for some reason I really want to like you sweetie, but you don’t seem to fully understand the assignment. She goes to talk to Whitney before dinner. She is supposedly asking for advice because she “knows” that Jen has told the Feds she has zero assets. So, if Jen is paying for dinner, she doesn’t want to be involved.

Whitney says that it is her understanding that the husbands paid for everything. We all know this is a ridiculous scripted fake reason for a fake fight. So, let’s just get right to that part. But first, the ladies all put “Freida Kahlo style” floral headbands on. Not quite. But, I am proud of Heather for know who Freida Kahlo is. So there is that. This “Cinco De Mayo” dinner is the weirdest ensemble of Dia De Los Muertos skulls (also a painting or two of that By Freida Kahlo) and a Mariachi band. So tacky.
Let’s Get Ready To Rumble!
Jen passes out gifts to everyone. She explains that she was going to give them to them at Vail. But, Alack and Alas, she was raided by the feds so she wants to give them to them now. Oh, it is those diamond snowflakes necklaces that she bought on camera. The script says Meredith won’t accept hers. Mary is too cold to stay outside so she flees right off the bat. Whitney asks her to bring blankets when she comes back and she says no. Heather says that she doesn’t care if Mary comes back. She’s kind of a buzzkill. Jennie said she was like that at the spa too when she refused to talk about her family in front of Jennie.

Meredith sticks up for Mary and says that she hasn’t know Jennie very long and might not be ready to be that personal with her. Jen takes off to get blankets that were literally three feet away. Heather says that this isn’t the first time that Mary has been shitty this weekend. Hell, she’s always doing something awful on every episode. Yet, oddly Meredith continues to engage and defend her. Mary is on her way back (with no blankets) and Meredith says to let Mary speak for herself. Or, they could just change the subject like normal people.
Mirror, Mirror On the Wall, Who’s The Fakest Of Them All
With everyone back at the table, Whitney tries to moderate the situation. She asks Mary if she likes Jennie. Mary says no. She looks at Jennie and tells her she thinks she is rude. Whitney tries to stick up for Jennie. She said something about Jennie’s husband paying for the trip, too. Mary strikes back at Heather with a gut punch, “You don’t have a husband.” Heather comes out of nowhere with a nice uppercut, “Fuck you Mary Cosby! You don’t have a husband either, it’s your step-grandaddy!” Suddenly, Lisa Barlow wants to get into the mix. She swings and she misses with Jen. Jen gets pissed and runs off.

With no one left to fight, Lisa tries to stir the pot with Meredith. Meredith disengages. Lisa says she’s is a good friend to everyone. Mary says that’s not true. Finally. Looks like these two will engage each other. Except they both suck at it. Lisa says that Mary is fake and apologizes all the time and still does the same thing. Mary says “And you’re real? You don’t even know how to be real. You wasn’t taught. (sic), you’re still eatin’ candy. Sorry, I know you should not laugh at high school dropouts but the irony of that attempt at an insult is hysterical. In her talking head, Mary says about Lisa, “She has no Depp. She doesn’t really look at the importance of life.” This is of course because Lisa enjoys Taco Bell and her kids need “nutrient.”
The Main Event: Identical Twins Go After Each Other
After the rousing discussion of the nutritional value of Taco Bell, Lisa is now pissed at Meredith for not sticking up for her. So Lisa Barlow starts talking about how great she is in the third person. This just keeps getting sadder. Where do they find the people? Whitney and Heather seem to be sitting in shocked silence. Mary brings up that Lisa called someone from her church. Presumably, Cameron (RIP. Mary says “whole congregation don’t even like you.” Lisa says she doesn’t even have a congregation. They are all leaving because they don’t even understand who they are even praying to. So, let’s not go there. Mary points out that some of the girls went to her church when she staged a service for the show. The streets say she’s only ever been there for church a handful of times.

Jen comes back. Heather tries to get everyone to make up. It is not happening. Suddenly, Mary starts up with Jennie again. Whitney chimes in to point out the obvious. It’s really confusing for her to be a “church leader” and them be such a raging bitch to everyone all the time. She points out that God loves everyone. She basically says that Whitney gets on the stripper pole so she can’t judge her. Then Whitney wants to know how Meredith can be so kind to everyone and then just sit there and defend Mary who is evil to the core. Especially sitting next to her best friend of ten years. Meredith still seems to stick up for Mary when everyone else is burning her at the stake. Lisa storms off in side. I haven’t been counting is that storm off number three or four?
While Lisa Barlow is definitely winning the storm off award, stripping off her top and her mic and giving it to production. Detective Whitney is trying to get back to her scripted moments of the night. She tells Meredith that Lisa doesn’t believe she had a memorial for her father. Come on Whitney. We’re going to need a whole nuther episode for this. Meredith shut her down really fast. Then we get the hot mic stuff.
Then Meredith storms away from the table and Mary follows in her wake. What are we up to? Five? Six storm offs? Is that a record? You know what the fun part is? They were only given these two episodes two days before the reunion. It’s going to be GOOD!
Sorry this took me over two hours to recap there was a lot to absorb and a lot of rewinding. I’m going to comment on WWHL in comments as soon as I grab a been and take a quote potty break. Banjo had three during the typing of this recap. ARGH.
Whitney really loves stirring the pot doesn’t she?
Whitney is my favorite. 🙂
Mine too. Though Lisa B is inching in.
Who is the person playing the role of Meredith tonight? She has an entirely new face. Meredith says that when Lisa later apologized later she said she was mad because someone told her Meredith said her house was ugly. HUH? The emotional age of this cast is incredibly low. Like the lowest of all the franchises.
Oh Meredith only watched the episodes the day before the reunion.
That seems like all we are going to get on the subject. Meredith says that she has no idea where all of Lisa’s insults are coming from. The only one that has any truth to it is that Seth changes jobs a lot. He oversees corporate takeovers so that is part of the job. That’s another reason they are renting according to Meredith. All of the kids are now out of the house and they are deciding where and when they might want to put down roots.
Meredith posts four photos of snakes after filming the reunion. Meredith has been “subtexting” about the hot mic stuff for quite some time.
Someone asks her if during her sleeping her way through half of New York if she knows Harry Dubin. She says she’s has never been intimate with Harry Dubin but he is an acquaintance. How the hell does Harry Dubin know every single housewife??? Does he have a “golden dool”?
Does anyone else have random closed captions on WWHL every week. I do not have CC set to on. They are not on any other show except WWHL and it annoys me.
The RHOSLC reunion looks are REALLY bad this year. I kept forgetting to make a post about that. We can talk about it in the reunion comments.
OMG virtual audience member asked about the rumor that Jen and Meredith shared a boyfriend. Meredith says that she and Seth have not dated other people for over two years. So basically, she says she doesn’t know who Jen has dated. Hmm that was sort of a non denial, denial. She has no idea what Jen does.
Meredith is asked why she took the necklace when she didn’t want to take a dinner from Jen. She says she when she got home she called a lawyer and asked what she should do. He is holding on to it for her and if she is convicted it will be turned over to the court to pay restitution and if she is not she will keep it. So we are at TWO housewives with jewelry in limbo due to them being gifts bought with ill gotten gains. Got it.
Meredith says that she and Jen are in a “peaceful space.” As for Lisa, she says that there would have to be a point where she believed that what she said on the hot mike was not her true character. She said that last week on WWHL Lisa told four lies about her. Andy asks for an example of the lies. She says Lisa claimed when they had a phone conversation while the girls were on the Sprinter van that she was at the memorial. She didn’t say that.
I literally had to pause the TV I was laughing so hard when Mary was trying to diss Lisa for eating Taco Bell and her family needs “nutrient.” When was the last time Mary cooked a meal for her husband and son?
Was Mary more incoherent than usual tonight? It took me this long to realize that I could not understand because she is constantly misusing words. My hearing could be better, so I thought it was me.
She is really bad at arguing. And talking in general.
I put the closed captioning on every single episode so I can see what Mary is saying! I seem to have CC for all Bravo and TLC shows.
Mary always speaks crooked English. Normally she doesn’t speak much so it doesn’t show itself, but she was in a lot of the scenes this episode. She normally sounds pretty put together in her confessionals though.
She cooks long grain rice.
Meredith on WWHL was – strange. And, I’m going to say it, her face is taking on the look of Caitlyn Jenner. She needs to stop with the face work. It is ~ unnatural ~ and, adds to the strangeness of her entire situation. JMHO.
Two things I couldn’t look away from – the cotton ball stuck on Mary Cosby’s scarf at dinner; and Meredith’s face on WWHL. Her right eye was shut!
Yes !!!! At first I thought she had a right eye infection . She looked so strange !
Meredith was unrecognizable on WWHL. Her face was so blown up, her one eye was almost closed. I can’t imagine fillers would do that much damage. I turned WWHL off after two minutes because I hate Andy that much.
I wonder if Lisa backtracked at the reunion.
Doesn’t seem like much to discuss with Mary or Jennie as they are gone gone gone. But Mary is illiterate. I think someone said she didn’t even finish high school. She is also incoherent.
What a shit show. It doesn’t make me want to see another season. How many spa visits and “fancy dress” dinner fights do I want to watch? Seems as if it’s becoming the routine on other HW shoes too.
I noticed the weird eye situation with Meredith too. Is she fresh off a Botox/filler visit? I hope she doesn’t go the way of Brandi Glanville.
Meredith has every right to bring up the relentless questions about her dad’s memorial. STFU Whitney. So annoying.
Heather needs a stylist. Her curves are great, but the ill fitting clothes don’t do her justice.
Lisa remains a snake. And while Mary was mean to Jennie, she wasn’t wrong…
I just have to add that I recently saw a clip where Mary showed off her closet. Must have been fllmed before the season? Mary seemed pleasant and knowledgeable about her collection of chanel limited edition bags (the seasons they came out etc.)
Is she just drunk or drugged during filming? Is she afraid because people are finding out about her background at the “church?” IDK why she is so crazy on the show.
I have lost my parents and if anyone ever had the audacity to question if I made it up I would flip out too! In the Jewish religion we bury the dead day after passing unless it’s during Shabbat or Jewish holiday. We wait a year after passing to have an unveiling of the tombstone. Family comes from all over to pay their respects. If memorial was on a Monday it is more than appropriate to visit with them on Tuesday morning to say goodbye. Very low of the girls to question this especially since heather admitted in confessional that she knew ahead of time and could have put this to bed but chose not to.frankly I’m disgusted
Tamara indicated this was part of the script Bravo has for this season. I really doubt they would have gone this low in real life.
So it is better to do it on National TV?
It’s sad no matter what, when or where, but it sounds like production put them up to it. They all want to keep their reality tv job, so they will follow the script. Meredith appears to understand this because she returned for season 3. If this was real life, she would disengage and never speak to any of them again. At least that’s what I hope she would do. She is too classy for this group. She should be on Beverly Hills.
Thank you for the recap. I’m to watch to check out Meredith. (Who I find amazingly ugh!😊)
I didn’t get to watch it last night, but glad that i’m reading the “coming attractions” from all of you!
I don’t think this was a hot mic moment because Lisa clearly knew she was mic’d and chose to take her mic off after she said what she said. I think Lisa did this on purpose because she’s a snake and she wanted to embarrass Meredith. (I also think Lisa was taking out some of her Jen frustration on Meredith).
It’s strange that the girls are questioning Meredith’s dad’s memorial. It’s equally strange that Meredith gets IRATE about it. She can say the memorial was Monday and Tuesday I was drained and wrapping up saying good bye to my family.
I want to know what the deal is with Meredith and Mary. It is beyond bizarre. And Jennie asked a very basic question to Mary about have you talked to your husband. Mary’s response was crazy.
Everyone says Lisa talks in circles, but Meredith is the queen of avoiding direct answers.
Heather and Whitney are hilarious. Yes, they are both pot-stirrers, but without them trying to get some answers the show would be boring.
I can’t wait for the reunion! Wonder if the women will more freely talk about Mary now that she’s off the show, or are they too scared still?
Wow! What an episode.
I know Lisa is cunning, but I was completely on her side this episode. I absolutely LOVED the hot mic session! It’s about time Lisa got real and spilled some tea instead of running around and planting the news through other cast members.
Meredith is a POS.
I always am excited to watch this show. They lost a great moment when Heater threw back that Mary was married to grandpa. They should have pounced on that. I can’t watch Jennie now without judging her on her social media. I feel like I see her in a new light.
I thought Bravo paid for these trips, food and events they do while on the trip, or get it free thru advertisement. Plus, I thought the snowflake necklaces were free for the advertisement for the jewelry store. Do they really pay for this stuff? I thought they only paid out of pocket for glam and clothing. I want a snowflake necklace.
Bravo does pay for the trips and the food and the transportation. Which is why it was a low blow for Mary to make it seem like she didn’t have anyone contributing to the trip. As for the necklaces that Jen Shah bought. I don’t see Bravo paying for the necklaces or all the over the top designer crap she constantly seems to be buy affection with. I imagine her congregation paid for all of those. The jewelry store go free promotion but not enough to warrant 6 diamond necklaces. Though several people have mentioned they want one.
Mary would have been too through with me because every single statement would end with * you banged your grandhusband* . You can’t insult me in any way when you willingly throw it back for your grandpa.
hahahaha….you banged grandpa should go down in Bravo history.
Thanks TT for the information.
now everyone think of your own lives, and how “you bang your grandpa” resonantes…..
Would banging Grandpa ever have occurred to anyone EVER?
and how it comes up so often on the show it doesnt even make me blink anymore.
lol!
Mary by far seems to be the meanest. I felt bad for Lisa. At least in this episode, she genuinely seemed to be trying to get along with everyone and props to her for calling Mary out. Her comment to Heather was so unnecessary.
I’m a little confused why Bravo is letting Mary and Jen off the hook. They rightfully cut ties with Jennie over her terrible social media posts, but Mary and Jen have also said some pretty terrible things.
Jen and Mary are both ruining innocent people’s lives with their scheming greedy lifestyles. Mary has been raised by wolves. She seems angry unhappy and under the influence of something. Saw her Mom interviewed else where and she was high as a kite, and lying like a rug. I really think Mary has not been well in a very long time. She needs to get help. Bravo needs to let both of them go just as they did Jenny, or they appear just as greedy, keeping criminals employed for ratings, its just too much. I am sorry Bravo has had to stoop so low. Not sure I will be tuning in anymore unless they change their ways. I am too embarrassed to say I am a fan.
The only 2 actual mean girls are Jen Shah & Mary M. Cosby. Neither is stable. For some reason Heather & Whitney have seemingly, long been jealous of Lisa & Meredith’s friendship. It’s so obvious to me that they’ve gotten together behind the scenes to destroy that friendship. Why? Because for some reason they feel lesser than, & blame those 2 for it. Last season Heather’s hate of Lisa was visceral. I don’t like Lisa, but I do like Meredith. I feel like she must have had some clue about how much Lisa hates her because she’s been more loyal to MM Cosby, than to Lisa. Lisa was not all all having Meredith’s back when Jen Shah was shaming Brooks on IG. I used to think better of Heather, but not anymore. She’s just more stealth than Lisa about her shenanigans. Whitney is a certainly a shit stirrer but at least she does ask the tough questions to their faces. I never warmed to Jennie, won’t miss her.
Whew, finally got home to watch so here come my questions and comments.
How thrilled is Jen’s mom to know she’s throwing her life savings towards her daughters defense fund, while Jen just HAS to have people continue to do her hair and makeup. But, I guess in Jen’s mind, she is paying these people with her scam money, so it’s not taking away from what her mom is giving her.
Can someone send Mary some of that brain “nutrient” that Blossom (who is an actual neuroscientist) keeps trying to pawn off on us. Maybe some Neuriva would have told Mary that the gold dress she had looked like a bad prom dress from a John Hughes flick
Not familiar with what is what, but did Meredith have botox or fillers on the WWHL? Will she ever be able to adjust her right eyebrow from its upright position or is it going to be stuck like that. I can’t imagine that she came home from that prcodure and Seth was like “wow, you look hot!” And the photo of her you embedded within the recap, from her one-on-ones. I’ve seen her in that top thoughout the season and am wondering, what the hell is going on with her boobs? It’s not quite a uni-boob, but that looks odd. No wonder Seth is always admiring Whitney’s rack.
I think the reason for Meredith’s “loyalty” to Mary is like the old saying, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” Since Jen is Meridith’s enemy, and Mary is Jen’s enemy, ipso facto-Meredith is friends with Mary. And Mary has no friends so she clings to Meredith.
And why is Mary (and Karen with Gizelle) so quick to make the comment about someone not having a husband. Mary, you only have a husband because you were (and still are) stupid. You are correct, Heather doesn’t have a husband and she seems to be the nicest and most normal of the bunch. Pretty sure that i am not the only one watching this show that like Heather, does not have a husband. And for those of us husband-less ladies in here, I am also pretty sure that we’re doing alright.
Great comments all, Beth. And I’m doing okay. And having a husband at this point would just irritate me more. LOL. I like not having any obligations beyond Banjo. And Lord, have mercy he is TRYING me lately. 🙂 It’s a good thing he is cute.
As I am always going against the grain, I will continue to and say that I love Meredith. I actually like Lisa, Heather and Whitney too. Mary is unlikeable but she’s HELLA funny, and at a time when few situations or people make me laugh….Mary never ceases to do so. Jen and Jennie are well…..Jen and Jennie. I truly don’t understand all the Meredith hate and the confusion as to why she and Lisa aren’t friends anymore. It’s clear as a bell to me. Meredith will NEVER forgive Lisa for befriending Jenn during the time when Jenn was bullying her son Brooks online. I don’t care how many times Meredith said she was over it…..she is not, and probably will never be. If holding her grudge towards Jenn means befriending the unfriendable, e.g. Mary, then so be it. She’s BEEN over Lisa and it appears that is was warranted anyway because after that “hot mic” take, Lisa obviously never REALLY cared for Meredith anyway. Jennie is gone, Mary is gone and Jen will most likely be gone after the feds put her on trial (if she doesn’t plead guilty first). Therefore, the franchise is going to have a hard time maintaining because Meredith is going to continue to disengage and there will cease being a storyline. In any case, this last episode was a s#it show but I thoroughly enjoyed it
Deltalawgirl, I am not sure there is a grain to go against with this crew. 🙂 I change my opinion with every episode. The one constant for me is that Mary and Jen are both REALLY DUMB CRIMINALS.
The good news is RHOSLC is going to be like Reality TV meets True Crime. That’s kind of becoming a trend.
The rest of them my opinion changes on. I do think Whitney is the smartest though. She looks like a “dumb blond” but she’s not. Nothing much gets by that one. Some of y’all call her a pot stirrer, but I call her a truth teller.
Am I the only that is confused at every one of their dinner scenes? Everyone is arguing with each other with no rhyme or reason, just jumping to attack anyone, at least on the other shows you know why someone is arguing. On SLC they just try to jump at anyone at the table. Also, their running off is so annoying, we can never get through a scene without breaking the focus for someone to get up. They should tell them not to get up like the other shows.
Meredith said she had an allergic reaction or something that’s why her face was swollen to the point her eye could barely open on WWHL.
The number of crazy accusations that the group wants to lob at Meredith is crazy. Then it’s almost as if nobody can remember who said what. The show is sort of a clusterfuck, but I am enjoying it.
