[TexasGal]

Quote

Sheree meets up with Kandi to get a few lingering feelings off of her chest; Drew shoots her first music video while dealing with the arrival of her estranged sister; Marlo experiences a first as she goes on a blind date with a young chef.

Airdate: 06.25.2023

As a reminder, events which occur after episode time are spoilers and should be discussed in media or individual housewife threads only.

Wow that was one bright light in Marlo's car. I hope blinding the driver is worth looking good on FaceTime...

[Keywestclubkid]

I’m not sure why Marlo got so upset with drew .. what was she supposed to say? I mean you literally were talking shit about her seconds before 

[Bronzedog]

Kenya looked a little rough at the skating rink.  

I assume Marlo’s date was there because he wanted to be on tv, but, I would have been uncomfortable with all the sexual innuendos immediately after meeting a blind date.

Marlo’s blind date was so hot & fun ~ Damn!!! Marlo & Sheree are the carrying the show now 🩷💋✨

I hate Todd’s beard.

I’m a little tired of Sheree pretending that She by Sheree is some amazing company. However, I do think Kandi could have just apologized for spoofing her. The track suit Kandi had on for their meeting was not flattering.

Drews sister spoke up against what I’m thinking is Ralph’s shitty behavior and got banned? Even though she was having mental health problems?

Leave it to Marlo to be excited on a date when the guy admits he’s been locked up a few times.

Sheree doesn't know if she's making a profit yet, why am I not surprised?

And she wonders why Kandi makes fun of her "business"..............

[Keywestclubkid]

Sheree girl your site went down .. you can make excuses all day but at the end of it it still went down .. making excuses for failures doesn't work when its YOUR business the buck ends with you ... i was just rolling my eyes with her deflecting

[goofygirl]

Yep, Sheree, I think Kandi DOES have more business acumen than you do when you couldn't answer the "profit" question.

Also, is it just me or are the powers that be trying to cram Marlo down our thoats?  Or do they actually think we wanted to see her entire date and that we were interested??

I think the mental health issues cropped up (Covid era) a long time after the ban.

[Marley]

I do not care about Marlo and especially do not care about her probably fake dates.

Sheree you are a joke and so is your company.

Kandi probably has to bite her tongue so much when Sheree goes off about her joke business and acting like she knows anything about fashion.

Ralph is such a loser. Who would wanna spend a lot of time around that jerk.

Ew Kim Z.

This season kind of sucks.

I was thinking the same thing. They really do seem to be pushing Marlo. Oh look she's a great aunt to her nephews (now). Oh look she's mourning a family member from a few years ago (though never mentioned before). Oh look she's on a date with a younger guy (who just wanted to make sure his restaurant was mentioned on the show). 

I don't mind that Marlo has a past or can be shady. It's that no matter what she's doing or saying, there's always this undercurrent of deep bitterness. And heck, for sure she's had a messed up, dysfunctional life. I 100% believe that. But it doesn't make her any more pleasant to watch. 

[Vanderboom]

Marlo definitely is more appealing in small doses; she doesn't add much as a full-time Housewife.  I somewhat get how she and her date bonded over having criminal pasts; I can see that being a date-ender, so there's a little relief that this is something they have in common.  

I thought it was a little mean of Kandi to make fun of Sheree, knowing how insecure she must feel about her "business," but then Sheree started talking.  Sheree clearly has no idea what she's doing; she went from having a fashion show with no fashions to a fashion website with no ability to get said fashions. Sheree always goes into word salad mode when asked basic questions about her business that she doesn't know the answer to--remember "Joggers.  Spring, Summer, or September"? You don't have to be a tycoon to know whether or not your business is making a profit.

the thing is Sheree completely disregards everything that she says about Kandi tho like calling her a hoe and biscuits or bullets etc etc .. she can dish it out but cant take it ...

My head started to hurt listening to them talk over each other.   I have never seen two people talk at the same time and actually communicate.  With that being said as best I could tell Sheree was salad talking, bouncing from thought to thought or should I say excuse to excuse about her "fashion line".

And it is not only Sheree that has selective amnesia but so does Marlo and I will even throw Kanya in the mix.  Marlo and Sheree talk all kinds of shady shit on their Talking Heads about Kandi.  They both act as though Kandi's actions are so egregious, they are allowed say whatever they want as Kandi deserves it.  And Kanya is bad about adding to their bitchfest when all 3 are together.  And Kandi did a proper apology to Sheree which was the right thing to do.  Not that it shut Sheree up.  She still had things to say.

At this point Kandi cannot satisfy either one of them.  Marlo's beef is bullshit and Sheree is.......well, Sheree.

Nah, Kandi's alright. 

[bosawks]

I completely respect a Housewives argument that ends just because the participants are tired.

Kudos, Kandi and Sheree.

Wow...this show has such little buzz on here! I foresee a pause/reboot after this season 

[Crazydoxielady]

This season is such a snooze. It is forced. Nothing organic. Drew.... she can not skate but has a roller rink be her back drop of her video? Ok girl, Beyounce you are not.

Marlo just forced and fake. Scottly was kinda hot tho. He can stay.

Big Head Todd just plotting and planning new ways to piss thru Kandi's money. I am so over him. I hate to say Mama Joyce was right, but there it is.

The lack of comments on this forum says it all.

Andy, recast next year or this franchise is over. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Big Head Todd 

I love that band, after reading your comment I had to turn on their music and drift back in time and think of the guy I dated so many years ago and went to concerts, Cake, Cracker, They Might Be Giants, Better Than Ezra...sigh.

Maybe it has been too many seasons and we are faced with storyline fatique, some of the women have capitalized on their fame and have other projects going on, (Kandi came in with a ton of projects and accolades and knows how to take opportunities and make them in to gold), I feel like Sheree is the only HW who cannot get it together and should have put out exercise videos early on but instead went the fashion route without the benefit of fashion, how dreadful!

If Andy asked me who I would want to see come back to Atlanta I could not answer him, maybe these show's moments are over?

 

[ZettaK]

The story lines are forced like others mentioned. Marlo is forced on us, as well. She is not interesting, and if Bravo thinks that parading her designer clothes is, it's not. Having a fake feud with Kandi is annoying, to say the least. I admire Sanya's athletic achievements, but this is not enough for the show. Sheree can be funny, but she is one of the OGs after all. The "new" women don't offer too much- they don't have big personalities, or compelling stories. I'm waiting to see if guest appearances by Kim Zolciak, Deshawn Snow, and Lisa Wu will make a (slight) difference, but I doubt it.

Did you watch that season of Real World (Chicago, I'm 99% sure) that the lead singer of Big Head Todd hooked up with one of the castmates but then they had to blur out his face?

How is she promoting women's empowerment by stumbling around a skating ring wearing denim panties?
