S15.E07: Dodging Rumors

[ZettaK]

Ubah considers next steps in the future of her relationship; Erin and Racquel go on a double date; an alleged secret about one of the women spreads throughout the group and ends with a shocking twist.

First aired on 11/12/2024.

[hottesthw]

I made it 40 minutes. These women are awful, and boring, and awfully boring. NY needs to go the way of Miami and find a home on Peacock. 

[tranquilidade]

I don't understand how Brynn thinks it's ok to spread hurtful lies about  people to cause drama.    Also, why does she need to put down Rebecca's business?  Why is that funny?  What is the point of this and what is the point of trying to hurt people's feelings just to get something going?   

[hoodooznoodooz]

So Rebecca Minkoff saw a metal clasp closure (a snap hook), that many manufacturers were already using, and decided to use it on everything she produces. That’s her thing.

[dancingdreamer]

I'm wondering  if Ubah has endometriosis,  it's terribly painful.  I don't  understand Brynn, she's spiteful,  not funny.

Sai has a lovely  daughter, her hair is gorgeous. Rebecca  was very kind to invite her to see that collection. 

So Erin and Rebecca  are playing  a trick on the others,  to insinuate  Rebecca  is pregnant,  and  she slept  with another man . Good, I hope they noticed  just how quickly  it spread though the group, and who ( Brynn) added their  own embellishment. 

[hoodooznoodooz]

I am already sick of “Wicked.”

[hoodooznoodooz]

Brynn spits on Astroturf. Indoors.

Brynn and her Nordstrom Rack put downs can leave. I don’t know why she’s coming for Rebecca and her line. Brynn herself could use a trip to Nordstrom Rack because she usually dresses like crap. It doesn’t seem like she’s had a successful career either so she should shut up. She’s gross. 
I’m glad Erin didn’t turn on Rebecca and that the rumor was a lie. It’s rather dumb but that seems to be the theme this season.

[janiema]

Brynn is really going after Jenna. The lies she tells are meant to destroy other castmates relationships with Jenna. The vicious way she threw the ball at Jenna in the dodge ball game was beyond the pale. I wonder whether Brynn actually has feelings for Jenna and thinks that she has been rebuffed. Or maybe she tried to get Jenna to invest in whatever the app is and Jenna declined. In any event, Brynn is a nasty piece of work and is not funny or entertaining.

The "rumors" about Rebecca were not true, but Brynn was gleefully spreading the gossip. She went out of her way to ask more people for information. It was not an amusing prank- this was a serious subject. As for Rebecca's business, and her comments, Brynn appears to be jealous (I'm sure that was not her intention). Rebecca Minkoff is a successful designer. She hit Jenna with the ball on the face with a lot of force. She also lied about Jenna saying Jessel is basic.

Sai said that Rebecca is boring. Well, most of them are boring, so? She then had no problem accepting a gift for her daughter.

It certainly wasn't great for them to be spreading the salacious rumor about Rebecca - especially on TV - but I found it very enjoyable to witness the real-time honest reactions from the rest of the cast...

We got to see what Jenna actually said which was a far cry from what Brynn claimed she said. Her pot stirring motion is not cute or funny. Someone should start a rumor about her. Personally I think she looks like she smells bad. Maybe Jessel should run with that.

[Chatty Cake]

What the hell is Sai wearing in her talking head? She looks like a golden globe award with a turd on her head. This woman can’t really be a successful fashion blogger/ influencer can she? 

[hoodooznoodooz]

Erin and Jessel painstakingly creating their dodgeball outfits, only to have to wear those huge navy jerseys over them. 

[Baltimore Betty]

Sai's daughter is adorable, I hope her time on camera leads to something (if she wants), I do not mind London being on camera as much as the other kids.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Was all that junk Jessel bought costume jewelry?

 

I hate all the jackets with the extremely wide shoulders that Ubah wears.

Yes it was Alexis Bittar, I love the colors and texture but just cannot get excited to pay that much for lucite or plastic or fake gold.

Jessel should spend some money and help her mother with her melasma.

[SweetieDarling]

 

So, is Rebecca even pregnant?

The last (only) time I knew someone who purposely spread pregnancy rumors was in high school. How old are these women?

 

I do not get Erin's sense of humor at all: 

Hiding phones: ✅

Bugs in food that make people vomit: ✅

Salacious pregnancy rumors: ✅

Joking about psychedelic drugs in a candy store where it looks like the Crayola factory threw up: ❌

So the rumor is supposed to be a prank but it’s stupid if you have a business and a reputation (actual cult involvement aside).  It’s not just going to stay in the group as the ladies reach out to others in their networks to do additional “research”.  No way I would agree to be part of it.  If Erin finds it so funny (it’s not), she should’ve made herself the subject.

[sugarbaker design]

Unpopular opinion:  I like this show.  I watch the HWs for messy drama, and this show delivers.

I could watch Jessel get ruffled by pigeons all day long.  Jessel taking Pavit's CC for high-priced costume jewelry is so 1950's.  It's something Lucy Ricardo would do.

I'm enjoying Abe and Mel's bonding.

I feel bad for Rebecca's involvement with Scientology.  I understand because I grew up in a nasty cult also.  The Roman Catholic Church.

[DanielleBowden]

Brynn thinks its adorable to purposely misrepresent everything anyone says ever and has the nerve to be surprised when someone calls her a snake.  I loved Rebecca's reaction to her mean girl jealousy because like it out not, she is a successful brand.  I feel for Jenna Lyons, she showed real humanity toward Rebecca and her family being the subject of cruel speculation and then it's going to be revealed it's all a gross prank. Another one.  What is it with the pranks?

[Baltimore Betty]

My thought about this rumor that was spread was to show how Brynn will jump on any tidbit of information, true or not, like when the doctor puts contrast in you to see how your digestive track to see the path it takes.

Rebecca and Erin were setting a trap and it worked. It was stupid to do it but it sort of worked, Brynn's take down in 3, 2, 1...

Typically I am with @SweetieDarling and her questioning Erin's sense of humor being odd because it is, she is humorless and certainly cannot laugh at herself and I do agree with @For Cereals, she should have put herself in the rumor.

Isn't it funny how we sat thru the entire dodge ball game but only got a second of Rebecca and Erin laughing about the trap they set for Brynn.

The other unexpected twist is how Mel and Abe made it enjoyable to watch the double date.

I did enjoy their sapphomance!  It was really sweet. I’d rather see Abe over Erin and definitely over Brynn constantly gay baiting Jenna.  I feel like Raquel or definitely Mel would put miss Brynn in her place if she tried it with them.

[charliesan]

I sort of want this show to continue because, no joke, sometimes I have insomnia and this really helps me to sleep.

The only way this show isn't cancelled is because Andy won't want to admit this was a complete fail, I doubt these women are getting paid within the scale of LuAnn or Ramona but I can't see it making much profit, I do think they spent a considerable amount on advertising and marketing. 

I didn't hate the prank as much but, when you base your entire trailer on some big secret about someone being pregnant and it turned out to be a joke? Well, that pretty much tells you no one had anything going on. 

And if Dubai was "put on pause" for an okay season...

Love Racquel and Mel, I sort of want to see Jenna working on fashion and the rest are meh. 

 

[bosawks]

Jessel warring with pigeons in the opening is more entertaining than anything Brynn has ever done on this show.

[heatherchandler]

I’m so annoyed.  I mean I had a feeling this was all BS because who would let that be talked about on a tv show??  Not a successful businesswoman!  

So the entire season is basically a prank on us, the viewers.

I’m liking it. Brynn and Ubah annoy me but they are doing their jobs. 
This may be a real unpopular opinion but I’d rather see this group than watch Ramona and Sonja pooping their pants and Luann and Sonja chasing dick. Don’t get me wrong , the OGs were great at one time but went downhill after awhile. 

[Keywestclubkid]

This is literally the STUPIDEST “prank” .. like 12yo brain hasn’t fully developed kind of prank that people that have actual children shouldn’t be doing .. WTF is this? Like why?

[Feline Goddess]

Alexis Bittar does make some pretty (if overpriced) pieces, but Jessel didn't pick any of those ones. Using Pavit's credit card without him knowing is petty and just adds more proof how awful their relationship is. The only thing that would've made her run in with the pigeons funnier, is if she'd been pooped on. 

Rebecca is successful enough to be chosen as an official designer for Wicked merchandise. It was sweet of her to let London chose a piece from the collection. I'm surprised that Scientology leadership is okay with her being a bit dismissive about it. But also glad she doesn't seem to be totally sucked in like some other celebs.

I hope Ubah gets relief from her painful periods. Who owns that store she went to for something for her boyfriend's house ... Willy Wonka? Although it  was sensible of her to realize she'd have to restrain herself and only get a small  tchotchke. 

Brynn twisting and even outright lying about what people say about each other is not going to end well for her. Jenna is no longer flattered by Brynn's crush on her.

The best part of the double date was Abe's apparent crush on Mel. 

The dodge ball game was L A M E. Adults actually do that?

[oftentimes]

Why would Rebecca go along with this?

According to what Erin said at the very beginning of the episode - it was all Rebecca's idea...

I am surprised that Erin didn't ask to be excused from dodge ball because she had cramps.

[Pi237]

Obvious prank was stupid. If you can’t come up with actual storylines, end the show.  Most of the women looked very skeptical. I thought they were pretending to believe it.  
 

Sai’s daughter is gorgeous. Loved her enthusiasm about the wicked gear.   It lol at “I have to use the bathroom. Bye.”  
 

Why is Brynn so harsh on the Scientologist?  If it’s because of the cult, ok-I watched Leah Remini’s Scientology show, that cult is evil. But I don’t think that’s it. Especially with her screwing over Jenna, again. Jenna needs to stop laughing that off and ghost her. She’s just mean this season. 
 

Abe’s admission that he questioned his sexuality and was tempted to be with men was brave, especially in the current climate. He always seemed so vanilla to me, now I’m intrigued. I guess Erin beat all the non conformity out of him after the wedding. 

[janiema]

I don’t know whether we will see Jenna again next season ( if there is a next season). This show would be so much better if it focused on Jenna, Racquel and Rebecca and dropped Brynn entirely. As Brynn is so fond of saying, she sucks all the oxygen out of the air. Most of the fighting and yelling this season has been related to Brynn.  Stirring the pot is one thing. Outright lies another. And Ubah is right. Brynn is condescending.

I missed that…so she dumb too 

[snarts]

Brynn is a toxic snake. How they don't all see it amazes me. She seemingly doesn't even care that her constant lies are caught on camera. The claims about her developer 10 person team in NY and 50 person team London made me laugh because her resume is hardly impressive, somebody is definitely funding her lifestyle.

I like the idea of the rumor trap but they should've made it a bit more innocuous, told only Brynn and then watched how she embellished the story before telling others. That's what we did back in junior high when somebody couldn't keep a secret and talked shit about everybody like it was her job.

I like the relationship with Sai & her daughter and I found myself wanting to know more about Rebecca. I was also impressed with Abe's openness about his sexuality. 

 

[Mindthinkr]

I liked Mel renaming Abe to Gabe. He took it well too. 

[StevieRocks]

Someone needs to inform Brynn that she's getting a little long in the tooth for her tired, corny sex-kitten schtick. It's coming across desperate and cringeworthy. All the unimaginative, predictable, and simple-minded innuendos are exasperating.  I guess she's now trying to be the "villain," 🙄 but all her rehearsed, calculated lines about stirring the pot and carpal tunnel are falling flat. She thinks she's outsmarting everyone when she'd struggle to outsmart a five-year-old. Sorry, Honey--you're boring, unaccomplished, not funny, out-of-date, and not cool. Talk about basic.

I used to read about how George Clooney loved to prank the Ocean’s 11 cast, and thought it was dumb. 
 

This prank is even dumber.

Ronnie and Ben remembered that last season Abe said that he’d be willing to try a three-way, but only if the third person was a guy.

 

“Well, last year his thing was, I could have a threesome, but it better be with another guy. Remember when he said that to Erin? She's like, Abe?”

This show sucks so bad I can barely get thru an episode. Actually I didn’t even watch the whole episode & deleted last weeks. None of this is entertaining & most of them seem so mean spirited. I get housewives is messy drama I’ve been watching for years but whatever this is isn’t fun or entertaining at all.

Abe said there were underlying issues in their marriage that was beyond the Bitcoins.  Thier's could be a relationship that won't survive - as we've often seen in the HW world.   

Spoiler

She is pregnant with their 4th child but she's a control freak. 

He's a lawyer, but he's also a DJ.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Last season, Ubah raged when Sai told Brynn, and Brynn announced to the entire room, that Ubah has a boyfriend. But this season she won’t shut up about her boyfriend.

I truly pity the film crew members who are present when Brynn is recording her confessionals. 
 

Who is encouraging this behavior?!? Are others laughing politely?

Does anyone understand Brynn’s T-shirt, “Watch out, I’m gay”?

[Crazydoxielady]

Welp, that was lame. I am not a huge fan of pranks in general and for whatever reason in their attempt to be "fun" these ladies are resorting to grade yard foolishness. I realize Rebecca thought she finally found a way to be relevant &  talked about within the group with an ill advised attempt at humor. She was wrong. Gossip regarding cheating, pregnancy, and who's the daddy is just not funny to me. If it were I would be watching Basketball Wives, Love and Hip Hop or the ilk.  It's also weird that Erin this very same week reveals she is in fact expecting. Side note: I found myself confused last week and ended up without realizing it watching a partial episode from last season, the one where Erin has her anniversary party. For whatever reason, the first time watching it (and watching the guests drone on and on) didn't register, and I was thinking "gosh is this the same bank as last year? Don't these guests know better than to go on and on this time around?" It wasn't until Erin came out in her second "look" and Sai left early for Nobu that I realized I was an idiot. 

Ubah in yet another poorly tied scarf in the store? It surprises me! She usually is quite fashionable. However, I don't need to hear alllll about this man who has yet to show up on camera. Zzzzzzzz

Brynne is a vicious little chihuahua. She isn't half as cute as she thinks with that dry hair and contorted face. I hated the prank but am slightly amused it exposed her. And the velocity that she hit Jenna in the face with that ball? She tried to hurt her. Thats it. Thats the only reason.  I am not sure why Jenna had the sunglasses on in there, but she certainly did not deserve that.

The Rebecca scene with the Wicked props was pretty cool. I am not sure how the continued Nordstrom Rack diss gels with a designer providing handbags for a new widely touted movie. Sai's daughter is beautiful.

Yes I do remember this. He clearly is bi curious. I find it refreshing that he is so honest, but I imagine Erin is embarrassed. She has a very square jawed mannish looking/Jen Aniston vibe, perhaps that was part of his attraction to her ;)
