TexasGal January 1, 2023 Share January 1, 2023 Quote Karen hosts her first-ever live show as the ladies brace themselves for a Grande Dame Experience; Mia and Gordon discuss their relationship with Jacqueline. Airdate: 01.01.2023 Happy New Year RHoPers!! 3 1 Link to comment
LaurelleJ January 2, 2023 Share January 2, 2023 Ya'll I'm tired. This is not fun, this is not entertaining, this is not something I can continue to support. Gizelle, Ashley, and Robyn have all been upfront about how their husbands cheated on them. It was bad. It was painful. It was hurtful. So WHY would you take such pleasure in trying to implicate the husbands on the show??? You are sitting there ki-ki'ing with some women who are plotting on your castmates husbands. Once again production is coming through to show that this foolishness is just that. They will say oh, if we didn't do this then there would be no show and no one would watch. I don't watch housewives to watch scorned women take pleasure in accusing husbands of cheating, when those women are scorned because someone cheated on them. It's just like Todd from RHOA said, are they not going to be happy until they get rid of all the husbands? The married people don't go after each other, it's the singles. If that's the new basis of Potomac, it's been real, thanks for the memories. I never count season 5 in anything because to me that season does not exist. That said, this is the worst season of the franchise in my opinion. 11 2 2 3 Link to comment
Iguessnot January 2, 2023 Share January 2, 2023 (edited) Episode isn't finished yet, but yeah Ashley, your friends are liars. Chris looked at her and his reaction was like he had acid in his eyes. He did not stupidly say all Chris's were alike. He said it was a common name. Eddie was laughing it up with Chris. The man smiles at everyone. Deborah does that valley girl thing of swinging her hair and head around every damn minute. I was wishing for a well-placed paper shredder. Edited January 2, 2023 by Iguessnot 18 1 Link to comment

I don't know what's going on with Robyn's wardrobe, she looked like she had just finished mowing her lawn when she met up with Gizelle & Mia at the cafe and looked like she finished grading papers in 1987 at the Improv show.

Baltimore Betty January 2, 2023 Share January 2, 2023 Candiace has really grown on me this season, she could have started trouble with Deb the Muppet but chose to walk away, if ever there should have been a drink throw it was then but she took the high road. Deb sort of walked back some of her lies at that dinner with Ashley and Gizelle. Her constant hair patting and flipping it from one side to another was tiresome to watch. I think Deb is one of those girls that never got attention when she was younger, grew up, got boobs and then thought every man in the room wanted her and then she realized they did not so she over compensates for that and lies to herself about it. Do the producers really like Chris or do the producers hate Deb more? Full confession, a bartender once looked at me, smiled and then gave me a drink...yup he was trying to git wit me. What in the what was Robyn wearing to that horribly stupid Le Grand Dame show? Did she go thru some portal where it is 1990 and she is the class Mom for her kids class? Then she decided to wear a rhinestone necklace with it? How many outfits did she say no to before she landed on that denim fashion don't? Mia, go up a size in your dresses if your boobs are always popping out. Also, you told Karen about the coochie flashlight moment on camera so shut up about Karen telling everyone about it. Also, Mia if your friend tells you she has a yeast infection and could you take a look it is okay to say no and volunteer to get her a box of Monostat. Karen's show was well attended, who filled that room, the actual performers or was Karen really the drawl? Did she have her "producer," manning the merch table? Cut to, cut to, cut to will never stop being funny to me. 8 1 4 Link to comment
Chatty Cake January 2, 2023 Share January 2, 2023 Yea Gizelle, Karen was hosting a show. It was better than your show. She filled the place and it looked like fun. I admit I wasn’t sure what Karen was going to do but I thought it turned out kind of cute. Of course nobody is happy for anyone. Gizelle was acting confused but Karen did similar to her during her show. So Gordon did contribute to Jacqueline’s car purchase. The more details Mia shares about her marriage, the more I wish she didn’t. Ashley’s friend Deborah, where to begin? This is so obviously a set up. It looked like Deborah approached Chris. He wasn’t staring at her, Eddie was smiling at Chris. Gizelle trying to co-sign with Ashley does not make it so. Throw in the the fact that the woman is rather odd looking and it just seems so unbelievable. Not saying men don’t hit on unattractive women but Chris clearly did not. Candiace handled it perfectly. She gave Sesame a nice smile while looking very pretty and Sesame was left with nothing. Ashley and Gizelle were hoping for Candiace to make a fool of herself. 18 Link to comment

I think of it being related to one of more of these ideas: They still want to get back at Michael and Ashley for playing grab ass with the crew Candiace is a favorite of production They'd like to get rid of Mia The show is under performing so they are trying new ideas to save it Any of those work for me.

eleanorofaquitaine January 2, 2023 Share January 2, 2023 So I don't dislike Ashley, but she is being so messy with this Chris stuff. And it seems so very deliberate, either as a way to get at Candiace or as a way to get Deborah on the show (or maybe both, who knows?) Like did Deborah start chatting with Chris at the Spring Kick Off event just to create this story line or what? Because that's one plausible scenario here and if so, that's really bad. I think that the mistake they made here is, if you are going to create a story line here, it should be one that is rooted in some fact. The Bassets' marriage obviously isn't perfect (whose is?) but there really hasn't been any question of cheating with either of them. Re Karen's show - she did one smart thing, which was pick the right kind of room for such an event. You always want a room to look full, not empty. Gizelle and Robyn's event was apparently successful financially but because they were in a big room, it looked like no one was there. They should have used a different venue. 8 1 Link to comment

amarante January 2, 2023 Share January 2, 2023 Praise Jesus for the great and sardonic editing because otherwise the show would be a snooze AND really ruin the reputation of two innocent men. Who the hell would actually attend one of these "live" events because they seem boring as hell. Since Karen's event was filled in a tiny venue I think the same number of people actually showed up but technically Karen filled the house. So what - and nothing that was shown on the episode would seem to provide any kind of reason for anyone to go to another event. I have never been to Luanne's cabaret but my understanding is that they are actually more of a professional show - but I wouldn't willingly go to one of those either. I don't understand how people really think they can deny or make up stuff that has been filmed. I understand that you get comfortable in front of the cameras and might let stuff slip but Deborah intentionally made up an elaborate lies that were easily disproved since Chris and Eddie were miked. I also think that the producers have become more careful about making sure they have full camera coverage because there have been more than a few things that haven't been captured on camera - like whether Michael Darby grabbed the ass of the camera person or made lewd comments about Juan. 11 Link to comment

I think production pulls receipts when the narrative the cast member tries to spin or their actions affects the credibility and/or operations of the show. They've shown receipts on lying/scandalous cast members since the show first started (ex. Michael grabbing Andrew and Crew Member's butts in season 1). Candiace paying all of them dust is confusing them and frustrating them. Look at how Ashley was pressed to make Candiace have a confrontation with Deborah: Deborah: You wanna talk to me one on one about this? Candiace: No ma'am. (Grabs purse to leave) Ashley: You don't want to talk to Deborah about Chris? Why are you being so dismissive? Candiace: Yea, it's time to go. Gizelle (either in her talking head or talking with Ashley): Candiace just doesn't want to listen to anyone! It's frustrating the heck out of Gizelle and Ashley* they can't get Candiace to act a fool so they can get their Karen** on and run to Andy/BRAVO and demand Candiace be put off the show***. And I love it! What exactly are their storylines if they can't provoke Candiace to act a fool so they can sit back and watch and not have to do anything? Driving in circles around the same neighborhood in Fairfax and having to film with Ashley's raggedy friends*** isn't cutting it. *Gizelle and Ashley are always conspiring against other cast members but Robyn is going to end up taking the fall and getting fired. **Karen IMO is/was poised to take Gizelle/Ashley's side and demand Chris/Candiace's removal. IMO she was going to accuse Chris of being the hard hugger if Candiace had acted normally and thrown a tantrum. Karen is a fence sitter, she sees Candiace not acting a fool and the viewing audience pretty much on Candiace's side so she's not going to side with Gizelle/Ashley at the reunion in accusing Chris. ***Ashley and Gizelle have absolutely nothing going on, which is why they're having to film with Ashley's time-worn friends.

howiveaddict January 3, 2023 Share January 3, 2023 I enjoyed the silent movie with the title cards. Especially the parts where it said there was no budget to air Jasmine Master's songs. Also, Jasmine has been on 2 seasons of Drag Race, so not too shabby for her to be on Karen's show. I thought the show, from what we saw was pretty good. I bet Rob and Giz were jealous about it. 9 Link to comment

Cut to this episode where Ashley's friend has been mic'ed up to pile on the situation that Candiace has already expressed was a no-go. On Season 5, production showed what happened between Monique & Candiace because Monique and her army of bloggers had spun the narrative so much against Candiace they were forced to show the entire fight and lead up to the fight to counteract Monique's narrative. IMO that's what they are doing here. Production is showing how the cast is making up stories and embellishing previously told stories about Chris. They are showing it's all bullshit lies. They're not going to step in but they're also going to protect themselves from any liability by posting the receipts. Gizelle and the OGs are truly Wile E Coyote this season because the traps they've set for Candiace (and Wendy) have blown up in their faces. The most entertaining thing this season is watching both Gizelle and Ashley get frustrated Candiace is paying them dust. I think production is entertained watching them get frustrated too. I think production is tired of the BS the OGs are serving them. The OGs' plan was to wind Candiace up and watch her melt down while they sit back in the cut and collect their paycheck....again for another season. Candiace told them on the last reunion: earn your own check. We (and production) are seeing what the OGs are bringing when they can't rely on a wound up Candiace to carry the show. I do feel like production is seeing more and more positive audience reaction to Candiace and more and more negative reactions to the OGs and I think one or more of them won't be back for Season 8.

pasdetrois January 3, 2023 Share January 3, 2023 (edited) Of course they have. But based on my viewing, there was no proof and, again, this is production hijinks. I truly think the general public - the minor few that were aware - did not take it seriously; it was a tiny blip on the radar. Chris and Eddie don't seem the type. Also, people are rarely ostracized for simple flirting. It happens millions of times a day. In fact, where I come from, a little light flirting is welcomed and acceptable. It's part of social discourse. Nobody runs around saying "don't smile at my man!" Well, maybe teenagers. Edited January 3, 2023 by pasdetrois 1 Link to comment

Not so much that he is totally off limits, but this storyline that he made another cast member feel uncomfortable being off limits. At the point where Gizelle introduced it, I think everyone, Gizelle, Candiace, Chris, Robyn, and production knew it was a load of BS. To allow Gizelle to continue it as a storyline, after beginning her plotting at the previous reunion, should have been shut down immediately, or at least immediately after Candiace talked to production about it. I don't think they anticipated the backlash of the allegations, or that Ashley and Mia would jump on the bandwagon and pile on the accusations. Now in order to clean up the mess they made, they have to keep showing receipts that it did not happen. When has production actively went out of their way to debunk claims as much as they are doing this season? I get the comparison of a rumor of a husband cheating. After accusations of Michael being inappropriate with production, however, I would think that production would have handled an accusation of a husband making a housewife feeling uncomfortable very differently. I'm actually disappointed that they chose to make it a main storyline, and I think they are working overtime to smooth things over. Gizelle picks a husband to make her storyline every season, and it needs to stop. They want the husbands to be part of the show, but what husband would want to be part of this when at any moment one of the wives can decide to attack your character as part of their storyline? I've long said the husbands are supporting characters, not main characters. Keep the drama with the wives. Edited January 3, 2023 by LaurelleJ 9 Link to comment

Instead, they will tell us we didn't hear or see what we saw and heard. Robyn did this on WWHL when Andy said the footage showed Charisse holding her back from Wendy. She continued to deny it, making herself look even more stupid. 11 Link to comment
ZettaK January 3, 2023 Share January 3, 2023 Production might show "receipts" of the lies and exaggerations of Ashley, Gizelle, and Deborah in the form of footage, but it still perpetuates the storyline for a whole season. 4 Link to comment
