S05.E16: Crab-boiling Over

[bichonblitz]

I was cracking up at Wendy laying so nice on the sofa holding her over priced candle while having an awkward side conversation with her mother the whole time!  You know the photogs wanted to tell her to stfu already and look at the camera!!

Oh lord, Michael is going on and on about Juan hahahaha. The irony in Ashley wondering about Robyn and Juan's relationship in season 1 only for us to now know that Michael is in love with Juan. I am grossed out that they keep trying to show us intimate moments between Ashley and Michael.

Yes Hunty ! Michael definately got a 'hard On" talking about Juan . Ashly knows it too ! Lol !!!

The ladies spoke about Karen's invitation on the after show. Ashley said she thought it was confetti or glitter until she opened it. One of the butterflies flew under her couch and died.

Candiace  said "someone needs to call PETA because animal cruelty was running a mock in these boxes." She said for some reason she originally thought they were roaches until she saw the pattern. She said all of her butterflies except for 2 were DOA, and only one manged to escape because the other one died when it tried to fly away. I don't know what Karen was thinking when she came up with that invitation .

😄 Why in the world would someone send roaches in an invitation?  Ok, maybe Gizelle if she were trying to be extra special messy about something.

I cannot wait for G and Michael Darby to be on the same stage at the reunion.  I was all set not to watch it because Nikki Minaj has some role in hosting it and not only do I not support her, I'm fairly certain she will do a terrible job.  

But I look forward to a G and Michael Darby showdown more than anything having to do with candles or Robyn or Wendy's plastic surgery.  

It's such a perfect match.  G is almost as creepy as Michael Darby and he is the perfect nemesis.  A black man who is rich and mouthy.  Its Michael Darby's worst nightmare.  None of his Karen tricks will work on G, because G has enough passive income not to give a shit.  I'm not entirely sure he even wants to be on the this show, and may just be doing it for Mia.

Yeah, I don't mind Karen being extra.  Thats on brand for Karen.  Extra invitations, extra wicks.  Extra.  Its the sort of thing that maybe looks good in a movie, generally a cartoon movie, but in real life, why is anyone doing this?  I wonder if Karen is getting flack on social media for this? were there even holes in the invitation?  It just looked like a box?

That was so weirdly gross.  Not only did Ashley have to kiss Michael to stop him from talking about Juan, but then she had to blindfold him because she didn't want to remind him that she isn't Juan.

There are very few times I feel anything but disgust for Ashley, but that was a rare instance.  Her husband is so disrespectful and disgusted by her.  He has no regard for her feelings.  

Michael HAS to know that the popular opinion is that he is in love with Juan Dixon.  Instead of even pretending to like his wife on camera, Michael instead took the opportunity to embarrass her by talking about Juan.  Ashley literally brought a poster to her vacation as some sort of proof her husband likes her.  He won't even play along.  He just doesn't care.  I think he knows and is almost mad at her for the rumors.  He is such a weirdo.  Robyn better check her brake lines before driving her car.

Shut up, Ashley! So proud of your struggle situationship and trying to shade others when your husband's heart belongs to Juan Dixon.

Adolescent rebellion is so real. If you want your children to do something, model the opposite. I loved seeing how pretty and put-together Gizelle's girls looked while standing next to their mother who was wearing ripped jeans that make her legs look like sausages and an ill-fitting top (and the too-small bra beneath it). I salute whoever taught those babies how to put themselves together.

"It's been fifty years of struggle." Whoa. I don't need Karen to come for Gizelle anymore. Just send Giz's daughters. Everything they say is true and she'd receive it better. I'm starting to root for that vampire, though. I hate that EveryHue appears to have been permanently shelved.

 

Gizelle, IMO, is again modelling bad behavior with her revisionist history of her Jamal relationship.  "Its my fault because I was emotionally unavailable"  Stop it, Gizelle.  You could have been as emotionally open as a kite and that toad was going to cheat on you.  You didn't just take a beat and think about it and decide that Jamal wasn't the one.  

You were publicly humiliated and blindsided on national TV.  I do not believe you when you say that Jamal told you "everything"  he was doing, you're not that good an actress.

What the hell is Mia doing having her mom on the show? 

Two weeks ago Mia wouldn't shut up about how a 'yo momma joke from Candace could make her mom relapse.

And here she is, relaying an entire fight and fallout on national TV.  Blow by blow, because hearing how bad a grandmother she was and how she handled everything wrong and ruined her daughters anniversary definitely won't make her relapse like a random comment from a stranger will.  

I also think the two of them are likely super picky about their kids.  

Mia's mom, according to Mia, is a live in nanny for her younger sister's children and she makes beds and everything.  So, it seems like she can be trusted with those kids.  But if she is asking for what the kids can eat and do, its probably because she is really trying to do her best and wants to check everything with Mia and G before she makes a move because she doesn't want to be called out on national TV.  

To me it seems like a fair degree of pearl clutching about Rhonda not answering the phone.  If it was the two youngest, I'd TOTALLY understand.  But the older one looks about the right age to have a phone so that Gordon could call him and ask what grandma was up to.  If they just got into a fight, Rhonda may not have wanted to talk to Gordon right away.  Gordon is not an easy man and it may be part of the reason Rhonda doesn't want to spend a lot of time there.  

They left the kids with Rhonda during their trip with the girls and she didn't call 15302 times, so I don't see what the issue was.  Gordon IS the parent, it shouldn't be such an inconvenience for him to field calls from a woman who is trying to make sure she is doing the best she can.

They did a flashback to a scene that we saw happen like 15 mins before and was in the exact same episode. Wtf was that. We remember.

Jamal is a dog. Gizelle you talking about your feelings would not have changed things lolz

How could Gizelle not know this stuff about her kids. She had a horrible relationship with their father. Like next level bad. She has fake relationship storylines. What did she think her kids would think about what a joke both her and Jamal are.

Karen cracks me up. Her butterfly invitations were a disaster but it’s just so typical Karen lol.

Gizelle and her Garden Center heart to heart talk with her girls, why would you take advice from your teens about how closed off you are and that is why you cannot have a successful relationship, really?  

The butterfly invites probably only went to the HW's, the other guests probably got evites because they were not being filmed.

CRINGE!!!! Ashley and Michael's attempt at the on camera soft porn sexy time.  I don't think Michael was the sole owner of the Watergate Hotel complex, maybe part of a company he had an interest in?

Karen stumbling trying to pop out of a cake was lame but the non plus reaction the other HW's had was epic!

Wendy never seems comfortable in her own skin or being on camera. 

Robyn and Juan just need to call it, Juan is miserable with Robin.  I wonder if that house they are building is really an investment thing.

What is Mia's plan with her mother, she begs to have a relationship with her then talks about how inept her mother is when babysitting her kids, no wonder that women keeps her distance from Mia, who needs that grief which is now being broadcast on TV.  With all G's money Mia should hire a babysitter for a date night, like an every Saturday night standing appointment.

 

My immigrant mother is still ashamed to this day that I went to law school instead of medical school. She also constantly reminds me that I used to be a size 2 and now (at 37) am much bigger.

That being said, Wendy was totally trying to exploit her mother for ratings. I am sure her parents pressured her to go into certain fields but you have to get beyond their narcissism. Yes, they want their children in prestigious fields and schools but it is not like having drug-addicted parents that abandon you.

Also, Wendy...I like you...but you have lost your Hopkins gig and now are peddling candles on a reality show. You obviously are making your own decisions because your life is not anyone's idea of prosperity or dignity.

You are lucky that your lawyer husband stepped in and made your half/ass plan a reality.

Speaking of exploiting mothers...Mia, putting your mother on a reality show is not a good way to support her sobriety. I can't imagine the terrible issues you have with abandonment but a show like this is not a place to work out real demons.

Gizelle's daughters are amazing. Why is Gizelle pretending like she and Jamal just had some minor misunderstandings and their love for each other will never die? The man humiliated you horribly in your marriage and abandoned you at the reunion. He is a piece of trash and even your lovely girls know this is true. For you to even pretend to be in a relationship with this man screams low self-esteem.

G and Michael are both perverts but I do believe G actually loves Mia and this is what triggered Ashley. She usually does not go off on people like that.

I do not think Ashley's marriage will last much longer. She might think she will be set on child support payments but a shady character like Michael always has a bunch of tricks up his sleeve.

Wow, Ashley clearly didn’t want Michael to keep going on about Juan. I wonder how often that happens? As for Mia, she seems to have a lot of resentment towards her mom. I think publicly shaming her is Mia’s way of getting back at her. I mean, she has to know she’s not painting her mom in the best light, right?

 I know this was a post from Mrs.Miner but when I copied it it is now under realreality, when I read that my brain saw $45 Wendy's single (burger), and thought that would be for the combo, right?

Seriously, Wendy did not do much research on marketing and economics has she?  We are watching a women that seems to go to Homegoods to purchase unoriginal useless crap of the moment and fake plants, poorly placed (the ones at the foot of her bed that probably fall over constantly), ugly fake plants at that for her home decor, probably buys her candles there too, and she now wants to sell us $45 candles?

Her image does not align with high end candles nor as she says she wants to become the next Martha Stewart, putting your name on something and trying to become a brand means living that life which you want to sell, her hostessing skills are lacking, her home is not anything people would aspire too, the roof is very faded and the inside is very dated, you may quote me on that, lol.

Reading about Michael's company letting that property go to hell makes me think about how I have never been impressed with Michael and Ashley's living space. It is not a big deal but surprising for someone who makes their money in real estate.

I also think that Michael wished Ashley would wear a Juan mask during their lovemaking...which I never need to see alluded to, ever again.

Ashley, you’re lucky that Karen didn’t hear you make that Alzheimer’s comment to G.; her mother suffered and eventually died from the disease.  Karen actually confirmed that she would have taken Ashley to task during Sunday’s WWHL.

I really don’t like Veronica and feel Mia gives her a pass just because she wants her in her life.  The heiffa abandoned you and acts like she prefers her other siblings to Mia, I’d just cut her loose.

I liked what Ashley had on when she tried to seduce Michael….too bad in his dreams JUAN was wearing her outfit!!

Wendy should have used her start up money to set up a charitable cause or scholarship program, no inventory to store in the garage and she could dress up and plan fundraisers and maybe she could be the finale show, Bravo likes a splashy party with everyone in attendance dressed up.

If the argument is that Ashley can say it (which she shouldn't have) because her husband is also old, then people will have to stop complaining about Candiace's comments about Ashley's white husband since Candiace's husband is also white. 

I think the Alzheimers comment was in poor taste, regardless of who said it. Keep on living.

I thought it was in poor taste too. given what the world has been though with COVID, joking about any illnesses isn't funny. Doesn't Ashley know/remember that one of Karen's parents passed due to Alzhiemier's complications ?

Straight up Maryland girl here.

In all of my (many) years, we have never had a crab boil( ??). Crab feast - YES! One does not eat crabs on a tablecloth, dressed to the fucking nines in high heels and a purse by our side. 

It seems they had their "Eastern Shore, Maryland" trip in St. Michaels which is a cute town on the bay. Round these parts, it is not called The Chesapeake. It's called, St. Michaels. 

I did not like the house they stayed in at all. Looked cold and unwelcoming. I also do not blame Gizelle and Robin for being angry they didn't have a bathroom. No way would I want to go creeping around that house with G and his disgusting tongue lurking nearby.

Not to mention those candles actually should be called Eddie. Wendy did nothing but come up with the idea.

I'm not even into candles, but an Eddie candle sounds hilarious. He'd have to pose a la Burt Reynolds in the famous 1972 Cosmo layout, though.

Michael probably watched next week's preview and thought "drive to me Juan, drive to me!"

I'm not sure if you can get a JD in a particular subject (I haven't heard of it in California).  But an LLM in taxation is known as one of the few LLMs worth having so I'm sure that program is tough and extremely boring.  Georgetown is also, IIRC one of the top law schools that has a part time program.  

I can't believe Wendy is selling those candles for $45.  I'm going to see if someone linked the site, because I just cannot believe it.  

LOL, did you all know Wendy is also an interior designer?  Why is she hiding that degree?

Wow, she is really selling those candles for $50.  There is nothing to even suggest why the price is so high.  There is nothing about why the materials are special and the fragrance top and base notes are basic as hell.  White tea and Aloe? For $50? She explains that the fragrance oils are "handcrafted" and "specially blended" or some such nonsense, but this goes for literally any candle.  Fragrances are often blended and mixed by human hands.  

She is apparently sold out of a few of them.  Jo Malone sells candles that are more expensive, but its Jo freaking Malone.  

If any of you purchase, please let me know if the fragrance it out of this world.  These candles sound basic as hell to me.

The butterfly incident reminds me of the book "Must Love Dogs".  The main character is a preschool teacher and had some type of school program that had butterflies being let out of a box or something. These butterflies were dead too.  It's a funny book and there is a movie also.

The crab boil did look good.  I prefer shrimp to crab. Crab legs are a lot of work for the little amount of meat you get out of them. And very messy. Wouldn't want to wear designer clothes like these ladies.

Two words.

King. Crabs.  

My delicate sensibilities won't let me do peel shrimp because of shrimp poop.
