S02.E07: Slippery Slope

[TexasGal]

Quote

A fun day of snowtubing leaves Mary and Lisa at odds, Jennie and Mary at war, and Meredith and Jen nowhere to be found when it comes to having Lisa's back.

Airdate: 10.24.2021

Do not discuss any offseason events until they are mentioned in an episode.  Spoilery conversations about particular housewives should happen in their individual threads or the media thread.

[bosawks]

Whitney selling Meredith on how little energy this activity would take made me laugh.

[Andi27]

I believe that Jennie has pain about her past pregnancies and this is a difficult subject, but I'm not believing this sister wife thing. Besides the fact that he didn't even want to talk about it again before she dug the conversation back up, Huy thinks it would be OK with the Catholic Church and he could just mention it to their priest and, what, get a waiver?

And from what I understand, while polygamy is no longer a felony in Utah, it is still illegal.

 

[Straycat80]

Narcissistic Duy making Jennie think it’s her fault for not letting him have a sister wife. 

[Stats Queen]

Not buying this whole Jennie and Duy thing. A devout Catholic man would not bring up sister wives. I felt Jennie’s pain last week but this week I am feeling that maybe they are using this as a story line. 

[JonnieUniteUs]

What the hell is going on here?  Shouldn’t these have settled down by now?

[bosawks]

Do I care if Duy gets himself a sister wife?

Nope.

Do I care if Duy gets himself some therapy?

Nope.

Do I care what Duy says or does about anything?

Nope.

[Wicked]

Meredith's husband is totally performing for the cameras, fake as f***

[Chicklet]

Try as I might I still can't tell half of these women apart. And bad husband acting.

This has me really confused. What is below her neck? A plastic Barbie? Shouldn’t part of her bellybutton be showing. 
it is really weird, although it I much prefer it real or not to all the boobage on RHOA.

[Chicklet]

Ok Mary is going off the rails again. Sparking water hardens your ovaries? Whaaa?

I’m surprised Mary went. I think fun is a mystery to her.

I miss the inter tubing down the mountains of New Mexico when I was growing up…

They were not going down a really steep hill/incline… if it was, they would have made it to the bottom and then some…

Lisa’s reaction certainly makes me think she is a 100% guilt free…..

[JonnieUniteUs]

I realize I missed the google joke. If I rewatch I will watch for that!

some of these gals are very thin.

really liking a lot of the clothes, sunglasses and lipstick colors at the tubing lunch.

Duy sucks. I haven't rooted for a Real Housewives divorce this much since Luann and Tom.

[Caseysgirl]

Jennie’s husband is an ass. He has 3 children and his wife suffered 13 miscarriages and all he can think about is he WANTS more children. He’s willing to hurt i# wife, on National television by insisting he wants another wife.  Admitting that he’s vulnerable is the least of his problems.

[princelina]

Jennie and Duy = storyline.  They are getting on my nerves.

Meredith and husband = storyline.  He's getting creepier than ever and they are getting on my nerves.

Mary = a weirdo.  Getting on my nerves.

There's nothing really likable about Lisa, but I'm liking her better than the rest of the cast.  Along with Jen and Heather this week.  Strange 😳

ETA:  maybe no so strange 😂

[IDreamofJoaquin]

I just started this episode and I can't fucking believe I have to listen to Jennie and Duy talk about kids again.

 

Ugh ack it gets worse.  She in general tries too hard.  Like at the ice fishing event when she was screaming at everyone to get along and she had no part oin any of the conversations.  And then today just BEGGING for someone to ask her what is wrong and she sounds like a 4-year-old "No one tells me what to do".  

 

I love the music background for this series.   Also, will we ever see them not in the snow or will they always be filimng during the winter season?

Angie certainly cannot hold her liquor.  It was pretty amusing watching her fall on her fanny.  So much for the rich and classy...

[Marley]

Jennie and Duy are just annoying as hell at this point. It’s all just so fake. Too fake. It’s not entertaining to watch at all.

[swankie]

Whitney irritates the crap out of me.  That face she made during Lisa's tirade made me want to slap her mouth off of her face.  She's as annoying as a gnat to me with her ugly hair. 

[65mickey]

Meredith's creepy husband is disgusting with his constant sex talk even trying to impress the waiter. He needs to grow up. I can see where Brooks gets his acting skills from. And if Jennie lets her creepy husband talk her into taking  a sister wife she needs her head examined. There is already another show on TV about this.  Duy looks like he doesn't give a shit about jennie and he just wants a new wife. 

Edited October 25, 2021 by 65mickey

[NoWhammies]

I like Heather. She seems super down to have fun, and her talking head about how much she was enjoying Mary and Lisa going at each other was a level of guilelessness that I enjoy.

OMG, the view is the cleavage of a house???Motor boating the view, oh gawd.  That made me think of "The eyes are the nipples of the face," Anna Faris's line from The House Bunny, lol.  All that constant sex talk was an over compensation for last season, Meredith probably told him to be more flirty and be more in to her.  No Brooks, that is satisfying.

Duy and Jennie won't get a sister wife, this is a story line. Although I do think Duy may be misogynistic in real life.  So sick of hearing "in my culture we..." seriously, you are a grown up, do what you need to do to fix what is broken.

Mary is an odd duck but I don't fault her for not wanting to hear offensive language but missed the mark how she asked Jennie not to speak that way around her, cut to Meredith or was it Lisa, (they are the Chip and Dale of Real Housewives, I cannot tell the difference), dropping the F bombs at the table, lol.  Mary did not like tubing because she could not dress up but she seemed pretty fashionable in her snow suit.  What was the big deal about the losers having to wear wigs, if it was to embarrass them it failed since they were sitting off by themselves, nobody else saw them.

Heather and the birthday party at the spa lab for the babies was nice but strange, strange because she invited the HW's as if they were friends with the staff.  How did she deal with having five employees out for 3 months on maternity leave, it is not like she has a huge staff, did we hear her talk about hiring and training temps because I sure would be stressed about filling those slots.  I guess when you keep closing down your business for the day for parties you don't really need to worry about schedules, lol.  Will Heather be doing the group bday party every year until it turns in to weddings at Spa Lab Beaute Pretty Nails and Massage?

It's deeply obnoxious that these two are relying on grief porn to entice viewers. It was better when we saw their family life without this nonsense. And Jennie stomping around in the snow, all "I'm mad! Don't fuck with me today" was just so contrived and stupid.

The babies were fun, and I spotted a Down syndrome baby. Hope he is OK, as they can have heart conditions.

I won't comment on the random, tired arguments, as they are all the same across all the housewives shows. Lather, rinse, repeat. Vomit.

I just fast forwarded through that segment.

I realize there is always contrived storylines but this one is so obviously fake as well as being repulsive. 

She needs to be one and done. There is a link in one of the threads here to a Tik Tok by her niece which really exposes how fake as well as awful they both are.

I would be surprised if they are asked to come back next season. 

I used to love Whitney and her confessionals but now she is just a pain in the ass. 

[Emmeline]

None of the cast members on this show have anything going on and are generally dull.  I’m just watching to see Jen go down.  Just seeing her face on the screen skeeves me out.  Never liked her, never will.

[JenE4]

These people are all very strange—and not in an entertaining way, but moreso unsettling. As if it wasn’t bad enough watching Duy try to gaslight his wife into thinking getting a couple more wives is no big deal, then we immediately segue into Meredith’s husband making inappropriate sexual innuendos in front of the waiter and talking about “motorboating Mother Nature.” What. The. Fuck. Then Mary’s freaking out because someone dares to say they might Google info on seltzer water hardening ovaries?! I wonder if it’s similar to how she is with her church—just blindly follow everything I tell you and don’t you dare question it. Even if there was some study to that end—what’s the harm of someone getting more details since obviously Mary had no further details on what exactly she meant by that? And serving peanut butter to 12-month-olds?!? Nooooooooooooo!

Without the knowledge of the coming Jen Shah arrest, this season would be unwatchable. The first season was kind of fun but this one is completely boring when it isn't cringeworthy like the sister wife fakery.

I do believe that Mary surrounds herself with low intelligence cult worshippers with a scattering of sycophants who probably know more but don't challenge her because they want to continue being on her payroll. I have mostly come across this kind of behavior with people who lie because they have managed to get away with lying for their life because no one ever questions their lies because it isn't worth it or they have something to gain by keeping up the relationship rather than challenging it.

I have never encountered it with a woman who appears to be as stupid as Mary - but she inherited her kingdom and must have some amount of charisma in terms of leading the services so that her "flock" is willing to pay. Although who knows how much is actually from tithing and how much is from all the businesses - especially since keeping up the businesses probably provides her with an excellent way to "shelter" a lot of the income as religious exempted income.

Whitney looks good on the show, but her talking heads look bad.  Who comes up with these looks?

I know. I couldn't stop staring at her "breasts".   I will say, though, that she was on WWHL a few weeks ago and they had settled in nicely.  Well, better than they look in this picture anyways.

Yes, all of it!

I Googled carbonated drinks and their effect on ovaries, it really meant soda and other sugary carbonated drinks, the sugar messes with the insulin levels in your body, this leads to weight gain (duh) and can cause polycystic ovary syndrome which can then cause fertility issues so Mary was close but still far away from the truth about the correlation between sodas and ovaries.  Sparkling water is not a culprit, we saw her decline the sparkling water in the flashback.  I think Mary does not like to be wrong and Googling any "facts" she proclaims would certainly point out her errors.  

And yes #jene4 the PB&J sandwiches was not a smart move as a menu choice for a bunch of one year olds or any gathering of children if she does not know allergy histories on the kids.

Mr. Meredith is trying to make himself look like a good husband who is into his wife, I think he is a try hard.

Jennie, don’t worry. No one wants to touch your husband. 🤮

All fake. Jennie is so thirsty she would get her husband to say anything. I can just see them planning their scenes. " Duy? we need to go with a big Mormon Stereotype.  I know, we'll say you want to have sister wives.  That should get everyone talking about us."  

[Saph]

Let's be honest. It's no wonder Meredith's creepy husband is so obsessed with sexual innuendos of cleavage, etc.  Given the often-reposted images (see above): How easy would it be to "motorboat" HER?

[Chatty Cake]

I despise Jennie. Her husbands not a good actor, I don’t think for a second he wants a sister wife. Jennie using her daughters death for attention is disgusting. If it’s your daughters death anniversary and you are truly sad about it you are not going to go tubing for a reality show. Even Mary couldn’t be bothered to argue with her because that’s what Jennie was hoping for. What a gross human being. 
Meredith has STF in her confessionals. Season Two Face. It’s more distracting than the boobs to me.

He just came across as super creepy, slimy, and just plain gross!  

Why was NOBODY in that restaurant??  

Oh lawd Whitney enough with "fluffing your aura" she thinks she's being funny and cute but I find her annoying A.F.!

And why the F was Mary even upset over Lisa Googling something she said?  So what?  Girl calm down you've earned your snowflake and then why the F did Jennie even get involved?  That whole thing was just weird and not funny or silly weird but off their medication weird.

I think this is pretty much it. She doesn't want anyone questioning her. What she says, whether it's with the women or in her church, is truth. 

I'm watching to see both her and Jenn go down because they're both terrible.

Here is my thought on Duy and Jennie:

He is devastated about watching his daughter die in front of him.  What about Jennie’s pain in having nine children die, additionally, inside her through miscarriage?  Does it only count if he sees it?

I have had two miscarriages.  That ain’t a walk in the park, folks.

She had to pull the daughter death card to get the attention focused on her. I doubt it was even the death anniversary either.

I’d rather watch Brooks Marks than that piece of shit, Jennie.

[Alonzo Mosely FBI]

This group fascinates me, maybe because they're fresh and new. Heather has a huge tongue, at times when she speaks it is jolting. Hey these are the things I notice. Kyle Richards same thing, a giant tongue roll as a pause when speaking! 

Meredith is so low tempo. I can't believe at first I couldn't tell her and Lisa apart. I love Lisa, she's everything I want in a housewife- imperfect, funny and doubling down on all the wrongness. I LOVE THAT. 

Love Mary I am LOL laughing every episode w/her side eye and the stuff she comes out with. Also: I think she preys upon her congregation for $. 

Who else? Jennie, def sympathy for the loss of her babies. More diversity in hw YES! 

Jen Shah can stay for now for the fraudin' storyline and the fact she fills her plate w/food and has healthy curves.

The gal that fell down drunk on her ass at a 1 yo bday party is far too thin. Issues & stuff there. Made me side w/Lisa on the caterer thing slightly.

You know that woman that fell flat on her ass at the birthday party, and then had to be escorted to the ladies room where she vomited.  You know what her problem is?  Thinness!  ;)

 

[WhatAmIWatching]

Does Meredith speak in her TH's? I'm too busy trying to figure out her odd cleavage sitch. I have decided there's a sheer modesty panel that is squashing things flat, but I can't find the neckline for it. It looks like the base is a bit blurry, which is why I thought there must be a panel there. I don't even know🤣 

Lisa is behind-the-scenes shaaaadddyyy! She gets mad at Angie, and tries to ruin her party by forcing the caterer to back out last second. She has a small tiff with Mary, and the previews show her bringing in someone to out Mary's church shenanigans. This makes great tv, but I couldn't be rl friends with her.

Hmm is there a chance Heather's baby party was possibly sponsored by Nike? 😆
