Bravo's The Real Housewives of....

[Cat]

 

I appreciated that Candy-ass stood up for herself with Ashley. But whining about not being centre of attention taken seriously was annoying.

 

ALL of these women incl. Candy-ass need to stop giving Ash/Gizelle/Robyn so much damn importance in the group. I mean, Gizelle ordered Monique to give her an explanation about Kyndall and threatened to go ninja on her! How about "I owe you no explanation, pack your bags asap and F off back to Bethesda" ? Gizelle is the absolute worst, and no tearful phone call from her daughter is going to make me change my mind.

 

I don't know whether to give Ashley an A for pot-stirring or a big fat F for personality. She's laid it all out there re: her marriage, but given its parlous state, she really shouldn't be going after Karen every waking second. It's like kicking a puppy at this point. We all know Karen is fronting like crazy and the marriage is in trouble. Ashley may think this is an easy way to score points, but imo it makes her look worse doing G, R and Cha-Cha's dirty work.

 

Speaking of Charrisse -- her friendship with Monique must be dead and buried after this episode.

Every episode further shows Candiace’s irrelevance. The cast doesn’t even try to pay her any attention. I’m almost positive she’s going to be a one and done unless she saves herself at the reunion.

She'll be coming for Ashley and Gizelle big-time at Reunion -- unless they can convince her to turn on Karen. Either way, I think Candiace desperately wants to be on the show. However, both she and Charrisse should be nervous: Kyndall is thirsty for a spot, and possibly Erica Liles if Bravo can get her to film next season.

 

I can't deal with yet more wedding-planning scenes in the coming episodes tbh.

Gizelle keeps saying she's unbothered by Kyndall, but if thats the case, why she keep comparing her face to a horse and why would it hurt her if Charisse or Monique invited her to events?

Well here's the answer on why Brianna isn't in the opening credits:

I think my favorite moment on yesterday's Potomac was watching Karen school Candiace on how to express her feelings to the group, and then as soon as it got ratchet, Karen says "now you're letting it go left" and then basically tells her something along the lines of, "Okay I helped you set up this meeting but it's up to you to finish this, cuz you're a grown ass woman" and leaves and proceeds to take selfies and enjoy the view. LOL

Same old Vicki... it's almost as if she doesn't realize she's lying.. kinda scary.

Wow. 

 

Still very little OC talk. I thought it was a slow burn episode and that dinner was just overdramatic with Eddie and Vicki.

[Cheap21]

Its literally a rehash of the past 5-6 seasons of OC. Im over these scenes of Vicki and Tamra patching things up only to be fighting like bitter enemies by the end of the season.

Well, going by what Kelly said on WWHL last night...it sounds like most of the friendships...drama aside...made it beyond this season.

Seems plausible. She is on the other side of the country and doesn't want crazies going after Ryan and her kids on social media. Plus she has gone back to a job in nursing. She always loved being a nurse and I'm glad she is not dependent on the show or her mom anymore. It clearly made her resentful and trapped. The Carolinas is a nice place to live, too.

 

Also, Ryan is on Marines disability, and I have to wonder if that isn't for PTSD.

 

 

Compared with Potomac and NY, there isn't much going on yet. Still 10 times better than last year. Lawn Guylind Gina wasn't as bad as I was anticipating.

 

What can I say about Vicki? She can never admit that she is in the wrong. Even with Tamra/Eddie she was pulling out the false equivalencies, as in "I said this, but Tamra said that." At least she choked out a Bible quote ("Duderonomy") that was meant to pass as an apology. Vicki is such a Trump Republican sometimes.

Having said that, this episode would be nothing without her. Screaming at Kelly for being put out about the double-date? Girl, you may want to rethink that strategy.  Even though I don't think Kelly should be crying about this. She wanted to divorce the guy. I'm just saying that if Tamra or Gretchen had set up Donn with a new girlfriend the year after his divorce, Vicki would have made it a WHOLE BIG DEAL for an entire season.

 

Steve Lodge certainly is thirsty for his close-up! I am 100% bored watching him.

 

Let's hope next week at Andalay's provides some fun.

Vicki's apology to Eddie was hilarious to me - once she brought out the bible quotes, I was done

"The Bible says you have to forgive those who trespass against you, even though Tamra trespassed against me first. I was scammed too! I'm sorry Tamra's actions forced me to say that about you. Can you forgive me?"

Good riddance to her to her. She dangled a  husband and baby as her storyline for years and when it became a reality she refused to film it all.
