S.9 E.4 Bunking Beds and Butting Heads

[Chatty Cake]

The ladies arrive in Lake Norman to turn up. Jacqueline’s relationship with Mia is questioned. Mia reveals a long held secret about Karen leaving the ladies shocked.

I don’t think the second string would argue over Mia if not for the show.

I always wanted to think that Karen and Ray didn’t cheat on each other but it’s not looking good for the Grand Dame.

I am here for Karen being called out on her krap. She is the worst, and with this kast/Wendy on the show, that is saying a lot. She redefines narcissistic, but would only read the word if there was an award or a 5-wick candle with her face on it. The audacity of viewing herself as the victim when she endangers the lives of others while driving drunk. She belongs in jail. If she kan't handle sharing a toilet with Giselle, she probably wouldn't much like to facilities in prison.

[drivethroo]

I wonder if the real reason Karen has it out for Jacqueline is because Karen drunk dialed Mia and/or Jacqueline and giggled about not being with Ray and Jacqueline exposed her drunk calling activities.

Ashley's Austin trip (and Bethany Beach trip on S1) were the most low budget trips they've had on the show. Much like the host.

Stacey is weird and I love it! She basically shut down Mia by loving the bunkbed instead of complaining about it and that changed Keiarna's attitude about it too.

Ashley can't complain about Stacey calling her messy and whining about some "You don't know me like that!" when Ashley doesn't know Stacey like that to even be speaking on Stacey's situation. The only reason Stacey is "boring" is because she's not a degenerate in perpetual survival mode like Mia or Ashley.

Gizelle really shouldn't talk about Jamal and the lots of sex going on in the marriage. Sing Sing you are the father.

Karen is super jealous of the attention Wendy is getting for her birthday, even though Karen's birthday has been the focus for 3 seasons straight (including this season, which started off celebrating Karen's birthday). This is where the new breakdown between Wendy and Karen will begin IMO. Remember, Karen never felt Wendy had the "right look" for Potomac and lowkey that's the real reason Wendy felt insecure about her looks, not Eddie.

 

[ridethemaverick]

I'm rubbing my hands together at the thought of Karen being exposed. She is way too up her own ass this season. 8th wonder? Bish please. 

 

Wendy looks 45 to me, and that's being generous. I was cackling when Mia asked her friends to go around the table and tell stories about HER. What kind of birthday celebration is this? Lol 

 

Stacey pulled an uno reverse on Mia with those bunk beds and I loved it.

 

Robyn leaving is the best thing to happen to Giz. She's so likeable this season, and she handled Karen well.

 

Keiarna. Girl. Free labor? I'd respect you more if you were a beg for a ring girl. What are you doing?

 

That boat ride was sad. Actually, the whole trip is. Potomac seems to have the most low budget excursions of any cast.

I don't think they needed a yacht for a short ride around the lake. 

Wendy is becoming tiresome with this "me, me, me" all of the time

Their mini-vacations, maybe. The longer ones have been to some great places though...Barbados, Cannes, Porto, The Cayman Islands, the Dominican Republic...

Wendy wants to be the It girl and has since she joined the show, but she's just not. I think her me me me stuff is an extension of that. 

[Thumper]

I don’t know these women or their history, as I just started watching this season for Stacey, but to me Karen is the WORST!!  An inflated sense of herself, for sure.    I don’t know why Stacey went to her for advice ( unless it was for TV time).   

[Giddyup]

Stacey not reacting to the bunk beds was great! Mia was ready for a meltdown.

Does Inc have a real name? That toe sucking story was nasty.

Robyn was holding Gizelle back as a character and lowkey Ashley is too. Gizelle spent several seasons trying to protect Robyn's job and Robyn from being exposed and damaged herself in the process.  Meanwhile Robyn is living her best life and will end up back on the show as a friend.

Gizelle is falling into the same trap with Ashley. Let Ashley sink or swim on her own.

Stacey didn't go to Karen for advice.  Mia snickered with Karen in the van that Stacey was boring.  Karen took Stacey to the side to tell her the group felt she was boring.  I guess Stacey is boring because:

• She's not paying boytoys to pretend to be her boyfriend (although this TJ situation is suspect) or has a suspect ex-husband who slept with the entire Maryland and Virginia region
• She's not questioning her child's paternity on national TV, sleeping with TJ while her husband is living in the same building, inviting TJ to say hi to her husband or telling how TJ is sucking her big feet
• She's not slamming into trees and drunk dialing the group to tell them how she's with TJ but everybody thinks she's with her husband
• She's not gargling her husband's balls while he creeps down to the MGM or Maryland Live in search of fresh booty or looking the other way as he claps cameramens' cakes

I guess Stacey is boring.  She should be a degenerate like the rest of the cast.

What kind of adult acts like that about their birthday?

Once you are out of the elementary school age, it tends to be more or less another day and no one I hang out with acts as if their birthday is some kind of epic event in their life or the lives or anyone else.

Especially at the dinner table.

That is beyond repulsive

[Arynm]

Someone please tell me what Karen said on the butt dial! I couldn't hear it and I am dying to know!!

Stacey is normal which is boring for the other girls. I think she can dial it up and I hope she does but also remains classy. I loved how she turned the tables on the bunk bed situation. I still don't think her "friend" is into her, but I like her.

Karen is acting like trash this season, she is jealous that Wendy is having her birthday on the trip and is doing her best to ruin it. Her behavior is awful

Giselle is winning me back, I loved her for many years but she was terrible for the last couple.

 

[Marley]

Karen was such a fake diva about the bathroom. Karen also needs to get over the Wendy bday stuff. Her bday has been celebrated a million times on the show.

Robyn not being on the show is really helping it.

Jacqueline is weird about Mia.

Karen is so overt the top with her deflection. She’s such a joke with her DUI nobody is buying her shit.

Jassi is annoying so far.

What is the reason for Stacey’s divorce? Not telling her daughter about the divorce is idiotic she’s not an idiot. I don’t know about Stacey. I can’t tell if she’s just really fake or what. I can’t tell what her vibe is.

What is Wendy wearing for a boat ride lol. It’s ridiculous.

What is the deal with TJ & Stacey? I see no chemistry. They prob aren’t having sex but it’s not because he’s a devout Christian I’m pretty sure he likes men.

Did they even have any drinks or anything on the boat ride? It just seemed like another conversation spot. Kind of lame.

Gizelle using Jamal as an example for anything is not a good idea. He's trash.

The toe sucking story like what? How weird that’s the story that chick picked lol.

Karen & Ray must have an arrangement for their marriage.

Gizelle without Robyn continues to be not too bad.

LOL I just had a birthday and yes I treated it like an epic event, because it is to me.

The question shouldn't be why Wendy was treating her own birthday as an epic event but why was KAREN out of sorts because Wendy was treating her birthday as an epic event, especially when the show has treated Karen's birthday as an epic event multiple times?  

Karen's birthday is in May, Wendy and Ashley's birthday's are in June.  Both Karen & Ashley's birthdays have been celebrated on the show but now Karen's ot of sorts because Wendy's birthday is being celebrated too?

Mia claims Karen drunk dialed her and said the girls think she's with Ray but she wasn't.

Don't know but I think he's every bit as controlling as Michael Darby is...more actually.

[bosawks]

Karen is just a miserable watch this season.

I guess if her strategy is to double down on being a skunk of a human so we don't perseverate on her being a drunk skunk of a human it's sort of working but it is not a fun watch.

I do admit to finding Mia being a fun watch even though she is a dumpster fire.

I am consistently inconsistent.

[Palimelon]

Mia is someone I would not want to know in real life, but she can be fun to watch on this show. Like so many other HWs.

[dancingdreamer]

Karen upset about sharing  a bathroom,  get over yourself.( She doesn't  pee she urinates)  I don't  know why she's  acting so miserable so far this season. Stacy isn't  boring,  she's just  a bit pageant  like, she was cool with the bunk beds, I'm still not sure why they pushed the beds together . This episode  was a bit better,and  Mia mentioned  Karen butt dialing them, something  about the girls think she was with Ray.

The room itself wouldn’t bother me if I were on a girls trip. I don’t care who has a bigger room, a bathtub, a perfect view….etc. However, I wouldn’t be too happy about sharing a room.

I can see that .. just my point of view is it’s literally for a couple days it’s not forever and it’s a free vacation that you are being paid to be on .. like what more could you ask lol .. I’d just suck it up and enjoy where I am ..and how much am I really in that room to be honest

As long as you don't have to share a bed with Ashley and her bunions, it's all good.

Jassi and Jacqueline arguing over who is Mia's sidekick...ladies, this is why you are "Friends of" and not full time HWs.

Bunions wouldn’t bother me as much as one of those ladies recording me snore. Or pass gas. You know if the Grande Dame doesn’t pee she certainly doesn’t fart.

[drivethroo]

Karen wasn't even going to be sharing the bathroom with Gizelle the entire time because Gizelle was going back to Potomac for her daughters' graduation and returning later.  So there was going to be at least an 8-12 hour period where Karen would have the bathroom to herself. She was just having tantrums just to be having tantrums.

No, Mia's friend shared it. "Those girls think I'm with Ray."

[ButterQueen]

Too many new housewives with zero appeal.

I loathe Wendy and Karen.

UO, but I miss Robyn.  None of the current wives have storylines that interest me.

I do love messy Mia.

[ZettaK]

Karen is not going to admit to anything, but she is obviously drunk all the time to drunk dial people and not remember anything. She needs to get rid of her delusions of being a grande dame.

I guess Stacey is "boring" because she is not trashy.

[Salacious Kitty]

Stacey came off as no new nonsense and posh on QVC. She owned that persona, and I liked her more than most of the other hosts.

 All of that is true and why like other HW Trainwrecks (Ramona/Sonya/Phaedra) she makes good TV.

She is as consistent as Gizzy's horrible taste.

That being said Karen needs to own up to her actions.

Perhaps she falls into the Melissa Gorgia feminity of "I just use the bathroom at the gas station across the street than my own house" feminity.

[ZettaK]

Also, Wendy is acting like a child regarding her birthday. She is 40. How much she changed since she joined the show- the woman who was a political commentator on tv (eg. CNN).

Actually I liked the boat ride. They were all pretty calm and talked things out. There was no escape just a relaxing ride. I especially liked when it turned to evening. It must have taken quite a while to film.
