We start with a long scene about Gizelle and Sherman breaking up. Haven’t we already discussed this a million times? Did she really just tell the kids on TV? Monique is laying out the essential oil schedule for her kids. It’s extensive. But I am all about the essential oils so, whatever works. Robyn is […]
Real Housewives of Potomac: Meme Your Own Business
For a second there, I thought this episode didn’t tape and I was relieved. We are going to have fireworks for a fucking week or more and all Banjo does is bark and flip out. I have a muscle relaxer or something for Wednesday night, but tonight is really fairly tame and he is still […]
The Real Housewives of Potomac: Can’t Hide From These Green Eyes
Hey, y’all. I am going to do a very short recap on this episode. I thought I had recorded it but I can’t find it now. These Potomac recaps have been a PITA all season and it is just easier for me to get something up when I get a chance rather than trying to […]
Real Housewives of Potomac: Ex’s and Oh No’s
By Amanda Z. Let me issue a DISCLAIMER I am 2 bottles of cava In (my mom and my aunts came over this and it became a thing but I digress). Lets start this foolishness Karen and Ray are having dinner at a white table cloth restaurant. I hear auditors itemizing in the background. Heading […]
Real Housewives Of Potomac: RSVPlease
By Amanda Z. Have we all gotten our beauty rest from last week’s snoozefest…oops I mean episode? Yea? Good, let’s get into it then. Ashley has finally gotten her mom out of her relationship and that should mean its smooth sailing from here on out but apparently she signed a 3 year prenup that is […]
Real Housewives of Potomac: A Happy Medium
By: Amanda Z. Ready ladies and gents? We are still brawling in the middle of the D.C. Streets. Monique is still hollering about not hanging out with people who don’t have anything to lose and these grown women are being asked to leave the outside of an establishment by the sweetest little old lady security […]
Real Housewives of Potomac: Scentertainment
By Amanda Z. Ah ladies in gents we are back to see what is happening with the ladies of the outer DC area. I am Amanda Z. long time reader first time recapper as it were. Let’s trudge through the layers of foundation and wig glue together shall we? We return to the middle of […]
Real Housewives of Potomac: I Came From Jesus
I am going to try to do a quick recap of this show because I know Y’all want it. I was unable to convey to the last person who wanted to recap the text and formatting requirements and because it comes on on a very busy night I didn’t really have the time to do […]
Real Housewives Of Potomac: First Ladies and Second Chances
By Jon Lee Hi everyone, I’m Jon Lee a ghostwriter/bravoholic and I will be taking over the re-capping of my absolute favorite housewives show, The Real Housewives Of Potomac (RHOP) RHOP is my favorite because they are still in that sweet spot where they aren’t quite famous yet and they are willing to be extra […]
Real Housewives of Potomac: You Gotta Have Millions To Make Millions
I guess I might as will get to recapping Potomac. I was biased against this show from the onset. RHOA is the number one show on Bravo not because the ladies are the most interesting, they certainly are not the richest. Nene and Kim and them were in desperate need of money and attention when […]
Real Housewives of Potomac Cast Trip Is In Cannes!
View this post on Instagram I'm in bloom ? #florals #blossomandbloom #rhop A post shared by Ashley Boalch Darby (@ashleyboalchdarby) on Oct 12, 2017 at 2:10am PDT That’s quite the budget for this show. I don’t think they had a cast trip at all season one, though I could be wrong, I don’t follow […]
Real Housewives of Potomac: Reunion Part 2: Man Problems
By Guest Contributor Becky J. Well, here we are at the end of season 2 of RHOP! I’m actually a little nostalgic because the season ended so much better than it started. It dragged at times, but overall I loved the addition of Monique to the cast and the Huger IRS thing is just too, […]
Real Housewives of Potomac: Reunion Part 1
By Guest Contributor Becky J. It’s finally reunion night for RHOP! And it’s a two-parter—I somehow had it wrong and thought it was just one episode (wishful thinking). Since the news of Karen and Ray Huger’s huge IRS lien broke this week, I’ve been extra excited for the reunion. It will be fun to sit […]
Problems In Potomac For Karen And Ray Huger Who Owe Millions To The IRS
As someone who has to pay my taxes four times a year because the IRS doesn’t want to let me hold my own money until tax day, I am baffled as to how rich people manage to owe the IRS millions of dollars. But such is the case with RHOP Karen Huger’s husband Ray. I […]
Real Housewives of Potomac: Home is Where the Truth Is
By Guest Contributor Becky J. Here we are at the season finale of RHOP and I still can’t commit to loving it. The nicest thing I can say is that it’s not the worst Housewives franchise ever. And let’s be honest, even the worst real housewives episode is still more entertaining than real life most […]
Real Housewives of Potomac: The Grand Dame Sham
By Guest Contributor Becky J. I’m late with this recap because there are so many better shows to watch. Can you believe there is only one episode of RHOP left this season? I CAN. To me, it feels like it’s been three years since season two started. But, I’m sticking with it until the bitter […]
Real Housewives of Potomac: Welcome to the Bermuda Triangle
By Guest Contributor Becky J. This week, the Potomac ladies are heading off to Bermuda. Gizelle’s mom is coming to stay with her three girls, Robyn deserves a break because her boys are exhausting and Charrisse is bringing her third-person alter-ego “Cha-Cha” to have some fun (which means act nasty and cry about her divorce). […]
Real Housewives of Potomac: A Host of Issues
By Guest Contributor Becky J. At this point, I would have absolutely given up on RHOP if I weren’t writing these recaps. I have more fun reading your comments than I do actually watching the show. As a self-professed Bravo addict, this is hard for me to admit. I have watched every Real Housewives and […]
The Real Housewives of Potomac: War of the Darbys
By Guest Contributor Becky J. I barely made it through my recap of RHOP alive last week! I kept thinking about that Starburst commercial where the zombie says, “you are boring me to death and I’m already dead.” That’s how I felt. So, when this week started with my absolute least favorite narrative technique, the […]
The Real Housewives of Potomac: Over the River and Through the Woods
By Guest Contributor Becky J. Did you miss RHOP cuz there wasn’t a new episode last week? I didn’t. I keep trying, but this season isn’t really doing it for me. Still, I’m committed (or should I be committed?) so here we go. The first scene is Monique visiting one of her rental properties. She has […]
The Real Housewives of Potomac: Messy Games
By Guest Contributor Becky J. Sunday’s RHOA Reunion Part 4 made RHOP’s “messy games” seem like preschool games in comparison, but it was still a good episode. Maybe now that the Atlanta season is over, we can all enjoy Potomac’s less twisty and jaded brand of shade a bit more. True to the anticlimactic “To […]
The Real Housewives of Potomac: Kick the Trick Out
By Guest Contributor Becky J. Am I the only one who thinks it’s a red flag when a show starts at the end? This week’s RHOP begins with a montage of a party where Monique and Gizelle are fighting and Charrisse is crying. Then, the whole hour is a “rewind” of the week leading up […]
The Real Housewives of Potomac: Mother Knows Best
By Guest Contributor Becky J. Tonight’s RHOP should have been called “Bring the Drama and Your Mama” but nobody asked me. It was actually my favorite episode of the season thus far. Gizelle’s mom is visiting from Houston and there’s a convoluted backstory about how Gizelle’s mom and her (kindof) boyfriend Kevin are great friends. […]
Real Housewives of Potomac: Hold Your Horses
By Guest Contributor Becky J. Editor’s Note: Apologies to Becky for the delay in getting this up. I was paying the tax men and having multiple panic attacks and such. Also, please click the link in her tagline and follow her on Twitter. She’s funny AF! And you get to see how pretty she is. […]
Real Housewives of Potomac: All Tea, All Shade
By Guest Contributor Becky J. I’m late for the #RHOP party this week because I’ve been on vacation. I’m embarrassed to admit that coming home to my recliner and loaded DVR is almost as much fun as my trip. I needed that aromatherapy massage to face the first scene of Gizelle curling her dirty hair. […]
WWHL With Sheree Whitfield and Gizelle Bryant
The hunt for still photos continues to be an issue for WWHL. I stopped recapping live for a couple of reasons. First, because there is often a lot to recap before this show comes on, and I am even more brain dead than usual, and secondly because the social media manager for the WWHL […]
The Real Housewives of Potomac: Don’t Let the Zip Code Fool Ya
By Guest Contributor Becky J. I told myself I was never watching the Real Housewives of Potomac again after last season, but I lied. My name is Becky and I’m a Bravoholic. This means I keep watching despite the fact a show isn’t really giving me that good TV buzz anymore. Even after I have […]
Who Are Your Top Ten Favorite Housewives of All Time?
This weekend, probably on Saturday, I will post my Top Ten Real Housewives of all time. I just finished writing my part and have a couple of friends you may know from the radiator room contributing theirs. Now that I have mine hammered out ( I can’t believe how seriously I took this and how […]
Are Y’all Still Watching Real Housewives of Potomac?
I just could not get into the Real Housewives of Potomac. I just can’t stand people sitting around discussing who is black and who isn’t. The black Bill Gates this, she’s multiracial that. This is how white people are this is how black people are. And then the constant discussion of etiquette. People with manners […]
Real Housewives of Potomac Recap: “B.Y.O.M: Bring Your Own Man”
by Guest Contributor Ben C. Some of you are wondering if I’ve died, if I’ve been faking an illness, or if I’ve been hanging out at Danbury undercover. Will I refuse to show my medical records? Will I sit with T.T. at lunch and force her to take my medical records in a mysterious manila […]
The Real Housewives of Potomac – Season 1 Episode 3 Recap: How Whiskey Won the War
By Guest Contributor Ben C. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to make it through the episode this week without breaking the television set, but somehow I managed. I’d say this episode was slightly less annoying than the previous two. Notice I said ‘slightly.’ I’m staying hopeful, and keeping my fingers crossed. As Tyra […]
Real Housewives of Potomac Recap: The Blacker The Berry…
Ben C. Contributing Writer I’M BACK!!! The past week has got me feeling like Teresa Guidice pre-release. No wifi + a broken phone = basically prison. Sans the orange jumpsuit and mugshot on TMZ. BUT STILL, it was rough you guys. Thanks to queen T.T. for understanding and stepping back in. We’re on the second […]
Real Housewives of Potomac Recap: Like Crabs in A Bucket
by Guest Contributor Ben C. It’s here! The first ladies of Potomac have descended upon us. I am totally buying into the hype. Am I alone in this? My body is ready. Three bottles of Andre champagne, one plastic champagne flute, and a pink bedsheet pinned into a dress. I can be a real housewife […]
