I am so sick of of saying, “I’m not doing well today.” So if a few of you would like to recap RHOA tonight in comments for me, you would have my whole site reading your recap. And you could help me out a bit Here is how it works. While you are watching the show you have to explain what is happening in most of the scenes. Then, just post it in the comment section. Post it as it happens. It doesn’t need to be one big post. Say what you want to say! Don’t worry about what anyone thinks including me. Maybe, I will hire you later! One thing you need to ignore is other people’s opinions. You will be okay. And, I need to learn that for the first time in over a decade, I get to have a sick day.
AND I HOPE MORE THAN ONE PERSON WILL ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE IN COMMENTS.
Hi TT,
I’ve reached out to you on IG (prob a week ago) to help out with this. I know you need to focus on your health, so I understand not hearing back AND encourage it. For anyone who will recap, great. I WILL give mine by 2 a.m. though – this was an unexpected luxury and I already had plans to work. I write academically and for a magazine, so it might be a lil formal, but It’ll be a learning experience. Look forward to what everyone writes and hope all of you enjoy my input.
Ciao,
Angstyness
I can’t understand anything Marlo says.
I am useless as Sundays are now reserved for 90 Day Fiancé. Bravo needs to move these shows from Sundays to less popular days when the ratings start to drop. It feels like common sense, but I guess not.
Sheree’s birthday dinner at Sanya’s house. Drew is starting crap with Sheree about friend, Fatume– who is not even at the dinner.
Drew and Sheree trade insults at dinner. Drew calls Sheree old. Sheree says Drew will wish she looks as good as Sheree at Sheree’s age.
Drew agrees to sing Happy Birthday song to Sheree, Drew has a nice singing voice too. . Sheree sees this as an apology from Drew.
Marlo, in confessional, said Sheree looks great for 60, except Sheree is 52…lol .
The ladies eat birthday cake..
The show closes with Sanya giving some ground rules for Jamaica trip.
JustJen, did you see Mohammand is allegedly cheating on Yve? Was news to me.
Mohammand is only here for a green card. Why did Emily wait until hours before her wedding to have that conversation with Kobe? He was so happy and then she took all joy from him. It was sad.
Is anyone watching Married to Medicine? It is one of my favorite Bravo shows.
I cannot stomach Emily. She’s spoiled, narcissistic and refuses to bend and she treats Kobe like property. Use condoms on bang trips people. He needs to stand his ground…
Gigi…Spot on
Yes! She’s the worst. There’s not many people to root for this season actually.
Yes on MTM.
Mohammad needs to go back!
Emily makes me scream at my tv. She and Ari are controlling and childish…”me me me”
Yes! I have watched M2M since the first season. I love the guys on this show (for the most part – Anila’s hubby is not my fave).
Please! Over here! M2M is still one of the best shows in the Bravoverse. The husbands are great and the cast feels way more organic than many of the housewives shows. Most of these women are smart and funny – then there’s Toya, but she amuses me, snd I love ‘Oogene’! Contessa and Anila I could possibly do without, and Heavenly is an absolute unit! Maybe we can convert TT, when she’s back to her old self and feeling better, but historically she’s said no to recapping it.
I don’t watch RHOA, but I do watch Married to Medicine.
I watch both usually. Kenya saying that Drew is so willing to fight, anywhere was funny. They all need to calm down. As for MTM, the level of Heavenly’s lack of awareness is astounding.. As for Anila, I feel for those poor kids. Maybe if she blogged about caring for them, she would get the swing of it.
Anila has 2 kids and acts like how on earth is she going to take care of them without a nanny. You would think she has 6 kids the way she acts. She’s ridiculous.
Heavenly is not a friend to anyone. She sounded asinine trying to flip things around like she was the victim – blaming Contessa for doing the intervention instead of calling her directly. My gosh! She had talked about Contessa’s marriage & husband for the world to see. I did like how shady production was when Heavenly told Quad she did not think Quad really sleeps with married men and production flashed back to Heavenly telling Anila that Quad does and that it was being talked about by others.
Heavenly is Deviliy and loves to be victim. Anila 🙄🙄🤦🏽♀️…needs to go.
I agree about Anila! And Kiran actually got a rise out of ‘Oogene’! My fave husband! How that poor man copes with Toya though? I’m seriously worried about his health. Too much work to pay for Toya’s ‘self care journey’! That woman needs a JOB!
Married to Medicine is so good. Can we get a recap of that show and forget about Atlanta? It was a great tv when Quad spoke directly to Heavenly in her confessional and we just watched Heavenly spill the tea to Anila about Quad sleeping with married men. What is the real reason Toya moved again and why doesn’t she get along with Anila? I am struggling with Anila. I just don’t like her. Why is Jackie supporting Heavenly when Heavenly still talks about Curtis? Heavenly takes zero responsibility and Contessa needs to learn to argue without the hysteronics. it made me sad for Simone when Jackie went after Heavenly and didn’t stay with Simone.
I love the men on this show. They are why I watch.
I like MTM. I cannot figure out if Heavenly lacks self-awareness, is a narcissist, or is manipulative opposite of her name. I have NEVER liked her. I agree on Contessa needing to argue with calmer voice/facts not histrionics…great observation. I don’t get Jackie’s support of Devilily. Love the men on this show.
I cringed when I saw Jackie run after Heavenly. Why Jackie, why??? Heavenly really talked some shit publicly about the other women. I loved when production had shown Heavenly talking shit to Anila about Quad sleeping w/married men, then Heavenly did her fake apology to Quad and production showed the scene w/Anila AGAIN. I was so glad they showed just how phony Heavenly is. I love Curtis & Cecil. They are the voice of reason a lot of times. I do not like Anila. From what I remember Toya got fed up with Anila when the group went on a trip (D.C. I believe), and Anila used Toya’s makeup people when they were getting ready one night. They got in the sprinter van or bus heading to their destination that night & the makeup people texted Toya that they were upset because Anila did not pay them. Toya asked Anila about it and she responded with some messed up shit saying she was in the process of building her expensive mansion. It was sorry AF. Toya got mad, told Anila she should not have used their services if she was not going to pay the people. Anila needs to go.
I like Daddy/Damon too. I just wish he’d put Heavenly in her place more. He does every once in awhile. I like Eugene too. I never cared for Greg (Quad’s husband). I like Scott, but he did come across last season like he wasn’t completely loyal to Contessa. Anila’s husband just doesn’t seem to fit in with the bro code the other men have going on. Yes Joey, I watch more for the guys on this show. They are more entertaining than the ladies, and I agree, I’d much rather M2M be recapped than RHOA. I’m just done with it myself.
What? MTM is back? Heading to on demand now.
I wish I had advanced notice! I’d love to recap one day!
Todd and Kandi’s financial situation is so interesting. Super hilarious how the screen outlined all their assets -Todd has the NJ condo, lol. It seems like everything they’ve done together since marriage is a marital asset, so Todd does have some good money to pass onto his first kid. Both girls are so pretty!
I’m excited about next week’s episode.
OK, I am not the best writer, but I get the assignment and will have a brief go:
We start with Sheree at home with her son talking about a She by Sheree line she wants him to model. We get a quick montage of her “vision” for her brand.
Sheree realized it is do or die for her brand… ummm… yeah?
Next we move on to Kandi getting ready to host Ace’s 6th birthday party. Kandi has invited Kenya, Drew and their kids to the party. Kandi has rented a whole gaming truck for the party
Sheree goes to visit Marlo at her grammatically incorrect boutique. Marlo updates on her nephews and says she questioned her sister as to the structure during the 30 days???
I watch on DVR, happy to comment on it tomorrow🤷🏽♀️
I am having a rough time, so hunkered down and binge watching S14 (Boston) of MAFS. Why is Alyssa allowed to worm her way back in? She’s horrible. Sorry off topic.
RHOA – Trust (Planning) Issues, S14 – E12
We start the episode off with Marlo asking God for strength – she needs it. Then Drew in a scene with her mom and Ralph who is pumping her up as a medical assistant before she calls out her mom for firing her for falling asleep on one of her dad’s exam tables. Her mom doesn’t remember firing her…just like we wouldn’t remember her if she weren’t around this season.
Fast forward to Shereé and her son Kairo. I suppose he had to start putting in time since Tyrone ghosted her. She is talking about how She by Shereé MUST succeed this time around or it is the end of it. Did it ever begin? Honestly, the fashion that isn’t fashion is iconic in Housewives history and a longer storyline than anything on daytime soaps. She is recruiting Kairo for modeling. He does have a good look for modeling. She mentions that she is getting help with developing her line. Isn’t the show a week away?
Kandi and Todd are celebrating Ace’s 6th birthday. It’s a small party before the party because his birthday is in the middle of the week. She invited Kenya and Drew because they have kids that age. I have to say that Ace being 6-years-old doesn’t make me feel old as much as it makes me ponder what I haven’t accomplished in the past six years. Wait! A small party? They have a gaming truck! I wonder what the real party is going to have. All of these kids are so freaking cute!!!!
Shereé is visiting Marlo at Le’Archive. Is anyone else having a difficult time with that name like I am after two seasons? My middle school French teacher would die! Marlo says that one of her nephews misses her while the other just lies around acting like a teenager. She’s picking pieces for Shereé to wear/rent and I promise you that one is a $150/day Versace ball cap.
At Ace’s pre-birthday bash, Todd, Kandi, Kenya, and Drew talk about the security breach from a few weeks ago just long enough for Kenya to mention that Cardi B lives down the street from her and for Drew to mention that they live behind the gates as if this was season one of the OC. The fact that any of them are talking about having security is just as baffling to Kandi as it is to me. Housewives fame for ya! Unfortunately, Kandi’s Broadway show, Thoughts of A Colored Man, had to be shut down due to Omicron. In her confessional, she broke down about it as she wanted to open doors for POC…and her opportunity to be an EGOT winner. I feel for her, but I am also distracted by her legendary broken-voiced cry.
Back at Le’Archive, Sanya announces that this trip to Jamaica is going to be a couples trip. I thought she was there to work? She points out that half the cast is single and calls Kenya (who is at Ace’s pre-bash) to let her know that she should bring a plus one. Um, Sanya-gurl, why? Kenya hangs up on her. Good, because it was a doofus call. Kenya is a full-time mother who works. She is STILL dealing with her divorce. She does not have time to find a man and since Marc is a complete jerk, she probably would not want to bring anymore drama to her situation by having any man she is seeing on this show. Especially not around these women and how they are scavengers who will go for the kill of any type of injured Housewife. Because Housewife behavior is predictable, Kandi brings up that Kenya is going through a divorce as Marlo throws cheap shade. Scavenger!
Looks like Marlo is visiting a Christian therapist who Shereé referred her to. It is about her nephews and she breaks down immediately. This is the most human Marlo has ever been. She really is conflicted about whether she is being a good mother and she fears that she will repeat the type of parenting of her mother and this is why she never wanted to have children. It really sounds like she is a good parent and is being self-critical because she fears being anything like her mother. She is bringing the boys back early. I think she only needed a break like all parents do. Especially parents of teens. No one will let that die and will throw it in her face the moment she pisses them off. She would’ve been a great addition as a peach holder years ago. I have always felt that she didn’t get a peach because of the gay slur she used in that fight with Shereé under the staircase. Do you remember that? Maybe season 3. It was back when Shereé had Ms. Lawrence as her hairstylist.
Kandi and Todd bring their older girls, Kaela and Riley, together to talk about their trust that they are finally doing. What? This is Kandi and money. This is not like her pool and downstairs that they turned into a junk/storage room. How are they JUST doing this? Riley is unhappy with the plan that Todd has to give them money over time instead of all at one time. This is mainly because she thinks that Todd will make her work and not live off of the trust based on his doing that to Kaela. In all fairness, Kandi has admitted this in the past. She likes to reward the kids for everything and he wants them to earn everything so they are self-sufficient. Kandi openly degrades Todd’s POV in front of the girls. I get it, she wants her kids to benefit from the opportunities she has worked for them to have, buuuuuuuut didn’t she and doesn’t she work her ass off now for the bags? Chica never misses one! This is especially odd because in her confessional about the play, she cried in her broken voice about working hard and never having anything handed to her – she is proud of that and might want to think about how the kids would feel that same pride if they worked for what they have. Todd calls them disrespectful and ungrateful as he walks off. Side note, I really do miss the Husbands bond that he had with Peter and Apollo. They had a chance to rival Jersey and were certainly more entertaining than Mauricio and PK.
Shereé has decided that she is going to make She by Shereé a reality by visiting a fabric shop. This is not how it works if someone is making a line. She mentions some term that the fabric shop employees don’t recognize and she knows it. There was just a tiny bit too much glee in her voice as she explained to them something that SHE knows as she has been a fashion designer for a good decade now. Still though, isn’t this show a week away?
Kandi and Todd are meeting up and have decided that they need to make personal decisions on how they want to leave their money to the kids because Kandi says that she is more free about giving them money. Meanwhile, she is still upset that her play was closed due to the pandemic. She was offered the chance to produce another show, but she is hesitant and Todd does the good husband and life partner thing the way we love to see the husbands do and encourages her to go for it. And just like that, she is on her way to EGOT status again. LOVE IT! I really cannot help but to root for those two.
We are at Sanya’s pre-Jamaica trip get together that has turned into a birthday party for Shereé. I would bet that they become frenemies in no time at all. Fashion side note – Marlo is wearing a wingback chair as a turtleneck. Drew calls out Sanya for not living in the ATL. Who cares? There are two things that are no longer required to be a Housewife: being married (ever) and living in the city of the show. Hellooooo…Potomac Wendy! After her antics at Blue Ridge, Marlo says hello to Kenya who ignores her as she passesthisclosebehindher. She also mentions the distance to get to Sanya’s house. That is definitely payback for the couples trip call. She then gets a tour of the place and starts in on how to fix the decor. This leads to Sanya confronting her about hanging up on her when she declared the trip a couples thing. They work it out and Sanya tells Kenya she can bring a girlfriend or anyone. Easily squashed like adults. What in the Housewives?!!! Shereé arrives and they sing Happy Birthday to her. Shereé declares Sanya a ride or die for doing this. Nope, I have changed my mind. They are going to be worse than frenemies. Everyone, including Shereé, trashes Sanya’s hostess skills. It does have college freshman vibes. Drew starts with Shereé and Shereé comes for her…all while Sanya’s mother stands there watching. LOL in Marlo’s confessional, she says that Drew is pretty and she had better hope she looks as good as Shereé when she gets her age because she looks damn good for 60! She is 52!!! I’m DEAD! Drew sings Shereé Happy Birthday and Sanya goes into a list of rules for the trip. Wasn’t there another Housewife who unsuccessfully did that? She points out that this is a work trip for her and that everyone needs to be on their best behavior. Chile, no, that is not going to happen. They then do that “bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop” thing and it is seriously giving me a headache. Friend Of side note: I love Monyetta and how she is Kandi’s eating partner. She delivered in that Hollywood Exes Atlanta show years ago because she was married to Ne-Yo. She would be a perfect peach replacement for Cynthia.
Next week: They are not on their best behavior! Sanya’s fine ass husband stands up for her about something and Kandi calls out Marlo for temporarily dumping her nephews. Kenya is looking at men. Highlight is that Marlo tries to downplay Kandi’s fame and Kandi flexes with, “Bitch, I’m worldwide.”
Nice recap! I don’t watch this one much anymore, just read the highlights here. I feel like I got the whole kit and caboodle!
Excellent 🌟
Great recap.
Great recap. Thanks.
Great recap!!
Great TT Fill in Recap! Thanks.
Wonderful recap, thank you! So much more complete than my driibs and drabs! Also, yes, we all can’t stand the spelling of Le’Archive!!
This review was EVERYTHING. KUDOS to you. (It was actually more entertaining than than the show).
👏 👏
Excellent! I don’t watch this show anymore, but loved the details in your recap!
Great job! Thank you.
Finally got to watch! Love your comment on Sheree and Sanya being worse than frenemies! Sanya all WTHeck? But squashing it maturely, cool.
Love your recap style, thanks! TT, Can we recap MTM maybe? Hope you time off is helping you, we miss you but want you to take time for yourself.
Your recap was great!
Thankyou!! I was thinking exactly the same thing about missing the bond between the husbands! Which is one of the reasons I think I’m loving Married to Medicine so much these days. The husbands on that show are the best, way better than the Jersey men in my opinion.
And I was wildly side eyeing Sheree in a retail fabric shop. No! That’s NOT the way it works! Kandi’s 60 second business plan to Sheree was incredible and made all sorts of sense. Here’s where it will fall over: Sheree will indeed hire someone, maybe a team, and next we’ll be hearing that the reason She by Sheree has failed to launch AGAIN Is because Sheree has no intention of actually paying anybody ever. I’d put money on this.
Isn’t Kairo some kind of felon? I thought he was done for something nefarious a while ago now?
Drew needs to go. She’s inauthentic and she just bugs me! I can’t imagine what she’d be like in real life, she’s annoying AF through the screen. I will say she’s got a lovely voice, but other than that? Goodbye, Drew! Anyone missing Portia? She hasn’t even been mentioned. But after she totally showed her ass – physical violence again – on that spin off she got AND got caught by production trying to shut everyone down with talking about it? Telling her own family they weren’t allowed to mention it? You could tell production had had it with her, and I lived for them trolling her. I was actually rooting for Portia, I thought she’d done a lot of work on herself, and her social justice activity was commendable. Now? I would hate to think it was all for positive publicity. But her not showing up to her mother’s (?) grandmother’s (?) brick and mortar charity? That was pretty unforgivable.
Again, thanks for the wonderful recap!
Really enjoyed reading your recap. Thanks Angstyness.
It sounds like Sheree (RHOA) and Sheree (RHOBH) are both having fashion issues. The internet is blowing up over Will Smith’s ex, Sheree, selling fake bags on her store site, and for her asking people on the gram to sow seeds and send her money. Damn Bravo! Do better! Do they even try to vet these women??? Now it really pisses me off the way she questioned Sutton on the sofa in the last episode.
This has irritated me as well. WTF? (about Sheree-RHOBH)
Look her up on the gram. It was in April this year. She has on glasses w/blue frames and is wearing a dress or blouse that is blue w/pink, purple & yellow flowers. Under her video she is telling people they need to sow seeds and she lists 2 methods that people can send payments to her. If she needs people sending her dollars she does not need to be on a damn Beverly Hills housewives show rubbing elbows with Sutton Stracke. She and the scammer of widows and orphans (allegedly) need to go find a dollar menu at the golden arches. Bravo damn! Make it make sense when you put these women together on a show. Sutton gets private appointments to shop in exclusive European stores and Sheree is all over the internet selling fake designer bags. I can’t link it because of rules, but you can search it.
Thanks Angstyness for a very detailed and enjoyable recap! Now, why was I hanging on to every word as if I hadn’t seen the episode? lol
Thanks everyone for the kind words about the recap! It’s my first ever, but helping TT was the goal. It was also fun, made me realize how quickly I type, and was a nice reprieve from the pressures of work.
So, the Sheree Zampino thing. If anyone sees this, will you please let me know where to read more about it? I’ve found minimal. For her ake the asking for money and being religious, that’s her thing. When she was on the original Hollywood Exes (along with Prince’s and R. Kelly’s respective ex-wives AND Shanna Moakler, I believe), she was a pastor’s wife. I know she’s divorced now, but I guess one you learn you can charge ppl to save their souls, you never stop.
Nobody can tell it like you. 🙃
