S5.E3: Basketball, Bobbleheads and the Brow Girl

[ZettaK]

Whitney takes the women on a girl's trip to Milwaukee; things heat up when Bronwyn confronts Lisa for not defending her at the ropes course.

First aired on 9/2/2024.

[bosawks]

Sooooo, Jack would rather risk death than have his mother visit him in Columbia….

[Pi237]

Why do I think Jack’s partying his ass off?

Bronwyn is fitting right in pretty smoothly. Osmond girl not so much. And now Whitney brought a new friend, too. Meili (sold?) She’s really pretty. 
 

Can’t believe I’m enjoying Angie’s antics, but she’s being fun.

[Pi237]

Here goes Meredith again-I’m not spreading rumors, but ‘I heard…’. She’s always the one to say it on camera, then act like she’s not the one saying it lol 

[QQQQ]

Mary... just no.

I just flashed on Michael having to watch his mother, Vicki, doing a keg stand on the RHOC.

I don't blame Jack one bit...

Mary has no idea about her body.

Did the basketball player Angie was obsessed with ever acknowledge her presence? 
So is Britani on this show just because she is a (not) Osmond girlfriend? Boring. 
I’m just not warming up to Bronwyn. Get her Heather! 
I’ve never heard of a lobster corn dog and I’m from near Wisconsin. Sounds good though.

I think Angie was wanting to get on the Jumbotron with her Greekness.

I have been to Milwaukee, it is an amazing town, fish fries on Friday's, cheese curds, the art museum, etc...so many Irish bars! 

Mary seems like someone activated her or put in fresh batteries or something, she is positively life like, stupid but life like.

To all my tribe members, L'shanah Tovah!

Late watching but Angie looks like a purse.

I like Bronwyn,  her fashion,  not so much.

Mary seems  to enjoy life a little  more, she just wears so many strange layers, as if she's  always  cold. 

Angie walking around with her glasses  and flag, she probably  scared everyone  away. I want a lobster corn dog! The ladies are very messy, and I'm  enjoying  them.

She has information about everybody (a vault) according to the other HWs. She tells a couple of women on tv, and then she claims she doesn't want to be the one to confront the person the rumors are about. What she said about Whitney's jewelry can hurt her business. Yeah, people tag her on social media. 🙄 Why her specifically?

I hate the top to bottom logo outfits. Heather was wearing a similar Gucci too. 

[Chatty Cake]

Brittani is old enough to know that Osmond is obviously a player using his last name to get laid. I felt a little bad for her though. She looked really hurt.  
I don’t mind Meredith bringing up vrumors about Whitney’s jewelry line. Whitney is hilled, she’ll be fine. 
I really like this season so far. I also like Bronwyn, although her last talking head outfit was downright scary. She had a good point that they all talk some trash about the others.  She didn’t say anything awful  Heather is still riding high on the Reality Von Tease scandal last from last season but she needs to remember that she likes gossip too.

No. Giannis Antetokounmpo who was born in Greece to Nigerian parents and is a Greek citizen (he plays for the Greek national basketball team- Angie was wearing that jersey- and was one of the two flag bearers for the Greek team in the Paris Olympics opening ceremony) didn't meet with any of the women. Some other players did. The Bucks won the NBA Championship in 2021.

It seems Bravo has a Wisconsin theme this year. The recent Top Chef was in Wisconsin.

There is beautiful edgy, and ugly edgy style. I'm afraid Bronwyn's style is mostly in the second category.

I really need to know if Mary is truly shoving a super tampon up her urethra or if she actually believes that she pees through her vagina. I hope her OB/GYN watches the show and can educate...

[BloggerAloud]

Heather going at Bronwyn for being duplicitous given all the stuff she did in regards to Jen Shah is rich. You literally lied about a production person, which should have gotten her fired.

[Rlb8031]

Mary is like a broken clock this season. Thus far she's useless most of the time, but twice a day she is spot on. This episode:

• She's not the sharpest knife. She's not even the sharpest spoon.
• Why do we care?

It's like watching a savant in action...

The fact that there are Osmonds out there trading on the name and trolling around for booty calls amuses me no end.

Gotta get the most out of that Costco membership somehow.

[StevieRocks]

Just when I think ol' Elmer Gantry Mary, the thievin' Grandpappy humpin' rube, can't get any grosser, she starts barking about tampons. Her cult must be so proud. 

[Palimelon]

Maybe they will all chip in and send her a few boxes.

[Tiggertoo]

That last appearance of Bronwyn was downright scary.  The outfit and the makeup, shudder.  And in the brief scene with her husband, he really looked like her dad.

She does know there are pads for that sort of thing, like no hole involved which would be good for her since she has no idea of the female anatomy.

[Chatty Cake]

I’m certain Mary is using a poise pad.   Remember when she (pretended) to confuse the word pornography for predator? My guess is she didn’t want to say predator back then and she didn’t want to say incontinence pad.

[SweetieDarling]

She could even wear that absorbent underwear they market for periods that alleges it can absorb 7-9 tampons worth.

 

I have to go throw up now

I wonder if Andy or producers had a meeting with her to step it up and they’re not going to pay her for sitting in vans eating McDonald’s.  She’s still an awful person.

Brittani seems nice and boring but her face is jarring every scene this episode. Have things just not settled yet like she got a lot done too soon before her debut?

I’m enjoying the ridiculousness of Bronwyn’s costumes.  I don’t think I like her but I do like the way she shut down Heather.

[ZettaK]

It's only the second episode, and Britani's "best friend" was exposed as a player (I felt bad for her though because it happened on tv), and Whitney was accused of buying her "signature" jewelry from AliBaba, and charging up to ten times more for them. I guess the women are bringing it. 

[albarino]

I'm not caring for Brown Wind at all.  She is clearly over the top in her clothing choices and rather than own it in a fun way, it feels like a sneer to me when she is so dismissive.  If we don't appreciate her look, it is because we are complete rubes who can't afford to look as fabulous as she does.  P.S.  Brown, there is a reason nobody dresses like you do.

She would be much more successful if she adopted Dolly Parton's tongue in cheek attitude along the lines of her saying it costs a lot of money to look this cheap.  However, that blanket (coat?) she wore to the airport looked like something she picked up at the Dollar Store, so good for her for exhibiting some frugality.

You know how TLC has Pillow Talk? I t would be fun if Bravo had Ex-Spouse Talk to provide commentary on some of these episodes....

I don't like that they showed private texts from that Osmond. 

[Baltimore Betty]

When Angie The Greek was talking to her husband about the latest gossip she heard from her brow person I thought I heard her say "her brown person", it threw me for a minute that used those words.  

I wonder if The Future ex Mrs. Osmond ever checks his phone? It seems SLC is a small community and having a high profile last name would mean a lot of other people know that person, it would be easy to find out what the streets are saying, right?

Whitney probably does not make or design her jewelry and probably looks for cheap suppliers that she can re package, just like Meredith would be doing with her bath bombs because we all know she will not be in her kitchen mixing up bath bombs and packaging them for sale.

P.S. I have discovered eucalyptus shower bombs and they are fabulous.

I have seen Dana Wilkey's receipts. Whit didn't even change the photos.

So far I am not minding Bronwyn.

She's got to lay off of the Greek stuff though. There was a loud and proud Greek community where I grew up but I can't remember any one of them taking things as far as Angie.  It seems there isn't much more to define her than her ethnicity.

There is a thing.  She's not completely off the wall about this.  The tampon goes in the regular tampon place but from what I remember it puts some kind of pressure on the urethra which can be helpful for some people with urge urination issues.  I don't remember the details and I'll leave it for someone else to investigate.  It's possible that she was recommended to do this by someone in the medical field.

Meredith must think the viewers are stupid to believe she creates products at home. Hers are homemade, Whitney's are from Alibaba!

I don't doubt Whitney buys from Alibaba. And she is not even intelligent enough (or she is cheap) to take different photos for "her" jewelry.

This is exactly what Sonja (RHONY) did - she had her fashion line, but everything came from Ali Baba - even the photos of the merchandise on her website.  She didn't even bother changing them up!  I remember posters calling her out on this years ago.

Meredith designs her own jewelry line and it is sold at her own store and in certain Neiman Marcus stores (according to her website).  She is the real deal, I think, at least when it comes to her jewelry line.  I checked out her website - her jewelry is actually very, very nice!

[njbchlover]

I'm curious about other's opinion on this.  When Whitney announced they were going to a basketball game, to me, it came across on camera as this was a surprise outing for the women.

But....

In the scene with Angie packing for the trip (when she was telling her husband about the Osmond guy and her "brow girl"), she was packing all of the Greek wear and the Greek flag.  

Something is wrong there, or did I misinterpret the basketball game announcement scene?  

[Palimelon]

I wouldn't be surprised if Angie takes that with her wherever she goes.

"You guys, our trip this year is to French Polynesia!" "Yay! I can wear my Greek flag bikini!"

"You guys, our trip this year is to the Canadian Rockies!" "Yay! I can wear my Greek flag pattern hiking pants!"

"You guys, our trip this year is to Japan!" "Yay! I can wear my Greek flag kimono!"

"You guys, let's take a trip to the 7-Eleven!" "Yay! I can wear my "Kiss me I'm Greek!" t-shirt!"

Edited October 5 by Palimelon

[JenE4]

Bronwyn had a hot dog costume—excuse me, hot dog couture—hanging on her clothing rack!! Is she trolling us, or what designer tricked her into walking around like a hot dog?!? It wasn’t even a lobster corn dog!!

The Osmond is flirting with the brow girl? He might have taken Brittani to Costco, but she better hope he doesn’t take brow girl to… BJ’s! 

Private jet to Milwaukee seems like overkill. But okayy.

Mary’s tale of her father being a nosy neighbor to Jeffrey Dahmer! Omg.

Hmm. Meili hasnt had time to hang out with Whitney…until she got on this show, and suddenly those pre-schoolers can fend for themselves.

A tampon to keep from peeing?! This sounds like a clueless mansplaining Buzzfeed clickbait article.

Something tells me Angie goes nowhere without her Greek flag and other Greek themed items and those Greek sunglasses, she had them made on Etsy, I am Imprint certain of that.

[SweetieDarling]

Angie is making the characters from My Big Fat Greek Wedding look lame in their attempts to embrace and celebrate their Greek culture. I'm nor sure if she has the Greek flag painted on her garage door. Have we seen her garage door?

I know more than a few people that belong to ethnic clubs, some involved in musical and dance performances as well as participating in various festivals. Not one of these people flaunt their ethnicity the way Angie does, and trust me, these people are proud of their ethnicity..

When Whitney said basketball game and Milwaukee, everybody knew, including Angie it was the (Milwaukee) Bucks. The Bucks won an NBA championship in 2021, and they are good every year.

Edited October 6 by ZettaK

[Salacious Kitty]

Angie was trying to get the attention of the Greek Freak, Giannis Antekonoupo. He's by far the Bucks' best player, and Greek flags are seen at all his home games. What Angie did wasn't anything out of the ordinary at that venue.

My assumption is there were no direct commercial route there and any flights would have involved at least one and possibly two stops.

[Palimelon]

There are direct commercial flights between MKE and SLC. The problem most likely would have been getting a bunch of "Domestic First" seats on one plane at the same time, given they only operate narrow body planes on that route. And those planes usually only only have 12 to 20 available seats.

She has the nose and mouth of a baby bird, and the darker her lipstick the weirder her mouth looks - like a tiny gaping black hole.  Also I 🤣 at the thought of anyone anywhere wanting to copy her outfits!
