S08.E14: Peaches Of The Caribbean

Tara Ariano · February 12, 2016

Kenya confronts Cynthia about statements made to the other ladies. Meanwhile, Peter serves as tour guide in Jamaica, with Kenya and Matt staying behind for some romance. Also, NeNe plays peacemaker, and cold behavior threatens a commercial shoot.

LilaFowler · February 15, 2016

Cynthia is so pathetic. Truly. When will she dislodge from her spot up NeNe's ass?

Petunia13 · February 15, 2016

She is doing what men do to people they fuck all the time. Spend all this time together then act like when someone better comes along "oh we aren't like that." .... "We're just getting to know each other...."

JAYJAY1979 · February 15, 2016

Oddly, you might as well give Peter a peach with the amount of airtime he gets. Still I'd rather the show revamp the opening to include the families with the women as well as giving all the husbands and kids (if old enough) talking heads.

Plus, let's downgrade porsha and kenya to friends of..since neither are married nor have children.

Lastly, why is nene back? I guess the producers didn't like what Kim Fields had to offer?

The discussion about Kim's husband was so disgusting and uncalled for. Of course, Kenya was doing the most with her 20 years in Hollywood and actually bringing the so-called rumors around town - which given her resume, she was way, way on the outskirts of. Nene, Porsha and Phae were just as bad as they seemed to be openly fanning the flames (pun intended).

I don't know why (well, I do) Kenya was surprised to see she wasn't on the call sheet. When she made a fool of herself last week she said she wanted no parts of it.

I really like when Nene and Kenya get along.

Don't know how the 'mercial will turn out but Kim seemed really professional and organized to me. She basically had the whole thing planned and shot before she even boarded the plane. Kudoz!

LOL! at Kenya throwing shade at that gorgeous beach location saying it wasn't elegant to her. Was she expecting chandeliers and a Liberace doppleganger with candelabras in the sand?

Phaedra and Porsha have been so super fun duper and funny on this trip. I'm loving Porsha for simply coming up with saying 'the 'mercial.' MVP of Jamaica, followed closely by Phae Phae.

Matt does not look 28 to me. That convo really went left for no reason. I don't know what to make of Matt but he seems too mature and serious for this crowd.

Stay messy Sheree. I don't know if it was the editing but Sheree looked to be laughing it up when they were talking about Chris but than got all indignant in the TH. She looked super pretty at the wrap party though.

People have been saying that Porsha has been putting on weight. I admit that I never really saw it --- until tonight!

I am loving Bob, cock eyes and all!

Once again, shut up, Kenya, and keep those sour grapes to yourself.

Ugh, I cannot stand Phaedda with her southern church lady and loose woman acts.

I'm glad Kim's commercial shoot worked, if only to deprive Kenya a chance to gloat.

wanderingstar · February 15, 2016

Ugh! Shut UP, Kenya!

What's grating about Kenya is that every criticism she levels at Kim (or anybody else for that matter) applies to her. Being condescending, being shady, being catty. All of that applies to Kenya, so why is she throwing stones at anybody else?

Enjoyed seeing Kim in her element directing the 'mmercial. Will we get to see the finished product?

Kenya is just vile and she is revolting...Kim was so fabulous tonight...I like her alot....Kenya is a jealous piece of S...t.....Matt was weird and he will not be staying with Kenya for long..He even threw shade at her when they were at the beach....No sane man with options will stay with her for long....

I had to laugh at Kenya trying to throw shade on Kim's b/c seriously, Kenya had NOTHING.

swankie · February 15, 2016

I wonder how Kenya's bff Brandon feels about her using being gay as an insult to Chris just to get back at Kim? She's so jealous of Kim it's pathetic. She just doesn't realize how small and immature it makes her look. I wouldn't be surprised if next she starts calling Kim doodyhead. Chick really has a lot of growing up to do. It would be nice If she would do it before she's 50. And I guess she felt like she was hurting Cynthia's feelings by not participating in the commercial. She may have hurt Cynthia's feelings, but she damned sure didn't hurt Kim's in any way. I'm sure Kim was elated to see her floating way way out in the ocean during that shoot. It just made her job that much easier because you know Kenya wouldn't have taken any direction from Kim at all and they would have been on that beach until the monsoon rolled in. I hope we get to see the commercial.

appledumpling · February 15, 2016

I didn't like the the gay talk about Kim's husband either. What does working with Kim on "Living Single" 20 years ago have to do with the price of tea in China? Kim wasn't even with Chris at that time. The Industry is talking, who Kenya's gay friend, Brandon, who got his a$$ whooped at the pajama party; he's probably the Industry that she's talking about.

I think Matt looks older but his immaturity came thru tonight. Too defensive, but glad he realized the error of his ways and corrected the situation.

Kim was excellent, I hope we get to see the finished product.

Agreed. I also found it telling when Gregg couldn't believe that Matt didn't have children. Gregg legit asked if something was wrong with him! It's novel that a single man doesn't have a baby mama.

Matt seems too mature for Kenya.

Well he didn't mind her calling Walter "gay" as an insult (they both laughed about that), or her calling Kordell S "gay" as an insult to Porsha either so I doubt that he cares about Kenya using it as a slam to another HW or her husband. IMO, Brandon is just as shallow and mean as Kenya is, birds of a feather, as they say.

Chrissytd · February 15, 2016

Kenya was dirty for questioning Chris' sexuality. IIRC, she also called Walter gay when their relationship went south. Is that her only insult?

I loved Sheree stirring the pot but at the same time, owning it.

wanderingstar · February 15, 2016

The 'mercial was so much fun. Kim is a professional and I really enjoyed her this week. It was also nice to see them all (well most) having fun and meeting Peter's family and hanging out.

Did not enjoy the gay jokes about Kim's husband.

Matt's concerned eyebrows were cracking me up.

I need them to quit replaying Oliver's slip into that pool LOL.

Don't know but they seem to be a legit couple from what I've seen on social media.

Sheree.... don't sit by the pool and be all indignant about the conversation, and then open your bigass mouth and say what you did. That was one of the most cringe-worthy moments on this show. Everyone was being nice about Chris, I couldn't believe she actually went there. The conversation never should have been started in the first place by Kenya, and encouraged by Phaedra and NeNe, and it should have ended right there.

Porsha's TH with the long snickering pause when talking about the possiblity of Chris being gay, and her saying she didn't see it. Then that look while she tried not to laugh.

The camera focused in on Gregg asleep a few times. I worry about the guy, he seems to be slipping. I keep waiting for his Bosley hair color to start dripping onto his shirt.

I guess "murshall" is a new buzzword I wasn't aware of.

Phaedra has this way of laughing and sticking her tongue out that reminds me of Moms Mabley.

LydiaOhLydia · February 15, 2016

Kenya wearing bikini top for her luxurious bubble bath with bf, looked silly. I use to think her batting eyes while talking with/of her bf's was her playing prude. After this bath scene and the paddle boat, her body language is strictly friends.

SpringTulips · February 15, 2016

AuntiePam · February 15, 2016

Peter was an ass to Matt. I think he was immediately jealous of Matt's looks and his youth. Those questions came off as challenging, and Matt wasn't having any. I don't blame him for responding the way he did.

Sheree -- it's one thing to be honest, quite another to tell Kim that the bitches were snickering about her husband's sexuality. Why would she do that? She didn't stop to think that Kim would be hurt by the behind-her-back talk, and that if it's true that Chris is gay, it's not something that they have chosen to be open about.

I thought Phaedra's innuendoes to Kenya and Matt were sleazy, and she needs to keep her tongue in her mouth. I swear, those women laugh at the stupidest shit.

Watching those women criticize the call sheets -- petty much? So much jealousy!

I feel the same way. Especially since Sheree was snickering right along with the others so WTF? She's really working overtime to earn her peach back. I guess her whole storyline is going to be about her being a nasty little snitch. And she really does own it. But that doesn't make it right as far as I'm concerned.

straightshooter · February 15, 2016

Just when I start to think Peter might be softening up and becoming a little more likeable, he goes and effs it up. He was a massive dick to Matt. That was so totally unnecessary. I agree with AuntiePam - he was definitely jealous and threatened. Maybe if he wasn't such an asshole he'd feel a little better about himself...

biakbiak · February 15, 2016

Kim being jokingly dramatic on the bus when Cynthia didn't name her in order to diffuse the tensio n was the most I every liked her.

On thing I never thought I would say but I liked Peter tonight getting them to leave the resort and seeing a different side of Jamaica was cool. When he described the area they were going as a place with lots of restaurants I laughed and thought oh dear you are giving these women the wrong image! The scene at the fish fry made me hungry! Did kim eat anything? She mentioned not eating seafood and her plate was empty.

Not4Me · February 15, 2016

The only reason Matt didn't take the bait from Peter is that he knew with his military training he could easily break that piece of shit in two. Peter was lucky Matt took the high road. Now that is a real man, too bad about his taste in women.

Kenya still is an ole' spiteful bitch. It really says a lot when Nene comes off looking better than you.

Porsha's man...yum!

Primetimer · February 15, 2016

Cynthia and Kim manage to avoid a Kenya problem and actually nail their commercial shoot. But it's Kenya's innuendo about Kim's husband that has everyone feeling grimy.

Read the story

biakbiak · February 15, 2016

When Matt and Kenya were in the paddle boat I kept hoping she would get hit by lightening.

I agree Peter was a dick but so was Matt. The conversation started out like tons of conversations I have witnessed where a group of guys is meeting the new boyfriend in a group but Matt responded in shortly. His "you no how old I am" and "I have oly met women" were beyond ridiculous

ridethemaverick · February 15, 2016

Kenya had a lot of nerve asking why Phaedra was invested in her and Matt. She must have forgotten her investment in Phaedra's relationship, to the point of asking about a threesome. Phaedra pulled a Kenya move on Kenya and she didn't like it.

biakbiak · February 15, 2016

Wait I am so confused about this line from the recap

Don Juan (...oh come on, he has to be; no straight man has ever cared about Phaedra Parks getting her comeuppance that much):

Wait Don Juan isn't out?

beesknees · February 15, 2016

NeNe's moose ass can get off my TV screen any time now. Talk of being a "Stylist" (Bwah ahahahahah) with that stupid long blonde wig she was sporting, hooking the girls up with "jeew-ree", and the fact that she's used to signing a "kon-track" when she works... Ugggh. Stop torturing me already and get the fuck off my TV.

I mean, what is it? Is NeNe going to be back on the show permanently now? For the last two seasons Neigh-Neigh didn't have two fu*ks to rub together on RHOA because according to her she was a bona-fide ACTRESS ON TWO PRIME TIME TV SHOWS AND A STAR ON BRAH-WAY. Awwww, fu*k me. NeNe was beyond checked out and felt she was above all the other cast members and was too good for the show anyway so why is she back? Hmmmm. Me thinks NeNe is not signing many kon-tracks these days so now those tall Bravo paychecks she became accustomed to are looking mighty fine again. I wish Andy wouldn't allow her back on Bravo in any capacity.

And Gregg can crawl back underneath that rock he emerged from. I don't need to see his slumbering, shuffling, ignorant ghetto ass either. He really pissed me off when he asked Kenya's 27 year old BF if there was "something wrong with him" because he was childless. I mean, WTF? Matt is intelligent, has a steady career, was in the military, is single and maybe has never been married... Hey Gregg. Here's a concept - maybe Matt chooses not to have children or has a medical condition preventing him from doing so? Did that ever occur to your uneducated country ass?

Or, maybe (Quelle Nightmare!) Matt is deciding to go the "Anti-Bryson" route and not make multiple babies out of wedlock with different women. There's a concept Gregg should ponder. I dunno, just me? And why were Peter and Gregg ganging up on Kenya's BF? What was the reason? That all happened so lightening-fast and it was so odd. I was all like "Wait, did I miss something here?" I turned away from the TV for one second. Matt did the right thing by leaving because he knew the guys were getting him turned up. Matt could have absolutely flattened Uncle Ben without any effort at all. Like swatting a slow, geriatric, bearded fly. No surprise with this bunch that the youngest guy in the group proved to be the most mature.

I was liking Peter for about one hot minute but alas, Peter made me hate him again. Peter needs to get out of his own way. And stop drinking. He acts like a dick when he drinks too much. Peter is his own worst enemy. Peter calling Matt a "girl" when Matt tried to extricate himself from an escalating situation was out of line and uncalled for. So, the ultimate put-down with this group and/or the ultimate shaming is alluding one is gay? What's up with that? What is with all the homophobia on this show. Man, the cast should be ashamed.

Phaedra was on WWHL tonight. Andy asked her what was up with everyone spreading rumors about Kim's husband being gay behind his back. Phaedra gave some lame excuse why the others were talking crap when she was the biggest offender of the bunch. On another note - I didn't miss Kandi and Todd at all this episode. I actually forgot they were missing from the show (hee) until I saw the previews for next week.

No surprise with this bunch that the youngest guy in the group proved to be the most mature.

I have to say, I was seriously embarrassed for Gregg when he made that stupid crack about something being wrong with Matt because he has no kids. Gregg is nothing but a big embarrassment anyway. Every time he opens his mouth I cringe. Not too long ago I rewatched his and Nene's wedding special. Every time Gregg opened his mouth, it was some old tired speech or some corny platitude that had me yelling at the top of my lungs, "STFU Gregg!!!" And he's just as illiterate as his wife. For some reason they seem to boycott plural possessives and possessives. It's like it would kill them to pronounce the letter "s". Drives me nuts.

Peter is really an asshole! He just doesn't seem to be able to help himself. He was the same way he was tonight with Matt as he was when he first met Apollo. They actually almost came to blows. It seems that when Peter meets a younger, better looking man for the first time, he gets combative and tries to flex his muscles like a damned brahma bull swiping the dirt with his hooves. I do believe if Peter and Cynthia weren't hosting this trip, Matt would have stepped to Peter. Too bad he backed off. Peter deserves an ass whoopin. He just does!

I like Matt. He seems like a real gentleman and looks out for Kenya. I think he may really care for her, but I fear the feelings may not be mutual on her end. When all of the others were celebrating in the background after the mercial shoot and he saw how unhappy Kenya looked, he really seemed distressed by it. I bet he wishes they could join the others and have fun instead of being the lone standouts all the time.

Peter and Gregg seemed to go in a little too hard, a little too fast. Too much piling on and the new guy got defensive and decided to exit stage left before he stomped a mud hole in Peter's ass?

To me something that you do say in private or a more intimate conversation it still needs to be called out and seriously using women or gay as in insult is so tired, lazy and ridiculously offensive.

Granimal · February 15, 2016

Was I the only one annoyed by "mershal"? Ack. It made me want to mute the entire episode.

ALL of the women, minus Cynthia and Kim (and possibly Sheree?), were making allusions and comments to Chris being gay in their THs- and some even in front of him. Nice of Cynthia to lay down the line in her TALKING HEAD though. With the "Sassy" and "Read" and *long pause* smirk/laugh- they were all coming at him from shady angles. Sheree is one little messy stirrer. Wrong place, wrong time! Tell me this conversation couldn't wait? She didn't even do the one-on-one thing. Kim's expression looked like she was about to laugh. Which I found refreshing (stupid drama), but judging by previews she gets angry- like most people would. (NOTE: I don't blame Kim for the drama at all.) I have a feeling that Kenya will take ALL the blame from Kim for the gay talk, even though once she sees the episode... (Which Kenya WAS being more blunt than the others by flat out stating that there were "rumors", instead of just saying he was "fiery") However, I'd like to see Kenya as well as some of the others get a good "lesson" from Kim. I've never used "gay" as an insult (obviously) or speculated on someone's sexuality, so I feel out of my element here.

Cynthia looked gorgeous during and after the filming of the commercial. Kim (per usual) looked terrible at the wrap party. If only she had brought a REAL stylist and not a nanny/kids. I just can't stand her "dressing up" outfits, and I swear she was wearing the same top at some other party they went to.

NeeeeNeeee is more tolerable as a "Friend of" to me. I like her look better, at least. Still can't stand the way she says "Jewry"- what was up with that? Does she really design jewellery? Or was she referring to her QVC(?) line?

Kenya is doing the most with the least. Seems people are walking on eggshells with her, and she has to keep getting "her feelings hurt". I get the Cynthia/NeNe denial thing, but other than that- pull a Frozen and Let if Go!

Peter in is his element was cool. The old man gang, not so much- there was definitely some underlying tension that we didn't know about. (Re: You know my age.) Calling him Max? And asking him if his equipment worked? WTF? Just because most (all?) of you have multiple children with multiple partners doesn't mean that that's the norm or there's something wrong if you DON'T have children before you're married. And then Peter turning ragey and essentially calling Matt a girl- charming. And while we're on the subject of Peter, just give him his Peach already. He's always trying to start fights, has multiple THs, just go for it! I guarantee he would fulfill his contract better than Cynthia.

Matt on the beach- thank goodness he realized the error of his ways and good on him for taking the initiative to apologize at the wrap party. Only issue I have is again referring to men as "women" as if it were an insult. Women should be a compliment.

Love Phaedra's talking heads, though I don't like Phaedra for how she treated Todd.

Don't know Bob's history, but he seems cool. Sheree seems to want to dish all the drama, but share nothing of herself - so no opinion of her as a "new" watcher.

What did Phaedra say about Porsha liking Latin flavor, or whatever?

Porsha does nothing for me, and I don't see the chemistry with her date- low standards.

Kenya and Matt seem like a real couple, she seems more "real" with him, than with anyone else.

Though when she said that they hadn't seen each other since Miami, I did a double take. That was a weekend trip where they met on day two! Based on how she and the other wamn were talking about him I assumed they had seen each other after that.
