Yeah, it seems that reconnection came BEFORE her marriage, but reconnection, nonetheless.

The interesting thing about Mia is that her actual story is way more interesting and compelling than her manufactured story (lies) and she looks like a nicer and more sympathetic character in real life than the housewife persona she portrays. She is a bad (not pathological) liar who can't keep her lies straight which is why Wendy calls her slow. I wish she were honest enough to talk about her struggles with Gordon and her reconnection with an old flame, rather than being willing to paint herself as a trollop and a strumpet to match some perceived "Boss Lady" image.

I looked it up on IMDB. She's number 4 on the call sheet (Erica Mena is 3, so take that for what it's worth). Bottom line is that this job makes sure she stays in SAG and with health insurance.

I have a different take on it. I don't think Juan will leave her until after those boys are grown and up out of the house. He will just be less and less present until they are living separate lives under the same roof. When the boys leave, he will tell Robyn that he's out, and she will not understand why as she believes he'll slow/settle down as he ages, while he will do everything short of chewing off a limb to get out of there. This is a long, slow slide into Robyn's outside relationship matching the inside.

Doesn't Candiace have a reoccurring role on a tv show, or was that just part of a fever dream?

Okay, I'm going to say that Candiace gets pregnant has her baby and in 1-2 seasons is back on RHOP, especially if Chris doesn't have anything super significant pop in the meantime. She strikes me as someone who is smart about managing her $s, so my guess is it will be a few years before she needs a full-time gig again.

I feel like this is a mashup of the LulaRose and Jeffrey Epstein documentaries! Horrid cheap fast fashions sold with a dash of American racism (micro and macro), body dysmorphia and pedophilia/sexual exploitation of young girls. And once again the men that are behind these business models are nameless, faceless and unpunished.

I watched the bonus episode, and my big takeaway was that the two parents (Drake's dad and Bryan's mom) who were the most present and vocal about their children's well-being ended up being the two whose relationships were ruined directly by their children's involvement in this business. How crappy must it be for you to be doing everything to protect your child, and the outcome is that your child hates you for it. It was so heartbreaking to hear that Bryan didn't even realize that the source of his anger towards his mom were these feelings that she was responsible for him being fired from the show, until he saw the documentary. He's clearly been in therapy for a while, and to never have understood that fact just goes to show how these kids get used to thinking that their parents being true advocates is somehow abnormal or shameful. I'm glad that both of them seem to be rebuilding those relationships as adults, but that lost time together is truly tragic.

Are we sure Gordon isn't Incognito's daddy? Because they share more than a passing resemblance...or does Mia just have a type?

I'm also side-eyeing Robyn because of all of the heat that Monique got from these women about her involvement with "bloggers". It was the height of betrayal that Monique was friends with "bloggers" and was supposedly talking to these folks and planting stories. But when Robyn is caught doing EXACTLY the same thing somehow, it's just Robyn talking to her friends. And we see exactly how petty those friends are because one of them took pictures of their text chain and sent it directly to Candiace.

No, he was actually the cool kid/heartthrob of the bunch,

He did, and ultimately their production company Tollin/Robbins created not just all the major kids shows but a bunch of movies. Brian Robbins is currently CEO and President of Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon. Brian Robbins Wiki

The podcast itself is free, but they also have a Patreon associated with the show. You pay for the Patreon and get exclusive content, special episodes, videos, etc. Lots of podcasters use this model to create additional revenue.

I disagree. She and Giz will continue now with Reasonably Shady (and the associated Patreon). Now that Robyn is no longer part of the cast, she will be able to sit back and raise questions and talk shit about the cast completely unfettered. She will run with that role serving as Giz's straight man and talking all the gossip about Karen and Wendy that she can knowing that there are zero consequences. She will do this because she is dumb, and because she knows once she gets off tv, she will never need to answer another question about Juan except from her mama and daddy.

@Keywestclubkid I am so very sorry that you were victimized in that manner. No person should be violated, and please don't take anything that I said as implying such a thing. What I was trying in a clumsy way to say is that the issue of how we deal with victims is something that has much larger societal impacts and should be approached in a broader manner. The fact that there are still families who don't want their kids to get therapy is a real thing. The way the system re-traumatizes children who do come forward and report as they are going through the criminal process is a real thing. And the fact that victims who do not get assistance often do turn into abusers is a real thing. If we want to stop these crimes, we have to do something different than what has been done in the past. In my mind, the question is how/why he got to who he is today and what portion of it could be prevented so we break this painful cycle.
