S01.E11: Reunion

[AmandaPanda]

Quote

Andy Cohen sits down with the women to rehash the season's most memorable moments; Brandi divulges a secret about her marriage; Stephanie sets the record straight; Cary and Mark confront LeeAnne; Tiffany responds to allegations about her racy past.

[Kiss my mutt]

Gawd!  Mark is at the reunion?

[urusai]

I hope this series is a one and done.  Soo boring and tedious.

[MadLove]

What the fuckity fuck is up with Cary? Her eyes look crazed.

Quote

 

[Pickles]

I think Cary is so upset about the affair rumors, because there is truth to them. As much as she denies the rumors, why would she be so upset if they were not true?

And, wow, about Brandi's kids not being invited back to their Christian school. I don't blame the school.

Tiffany's forehead is absolutely frozen.

[WireWrap]

Leann needs to how to fake cry, she couldn't even get her eyes to well up, not 1 time did she produce a single tear, not 1. LOL

She is upset because they have kids. I am sure Marks children, by his first wife, heard what Leann/idiot friend said on the show, if they didn't watch the show themselves. If what Leann said was a lie, and I do believe it was, that lie most likely caused the children pain/embarrassment.

Tiffany also needs to back off the fillers, her eyes are now thin slits and soon she won't be able to see out of them if she keeps it up.

I was coming to post the same thing.  I think it was rather obvious that there was truth to the rumors.  Even Mark didn't flat out deny them.  And he had the perfect platform to do so.

Leann couldn't she'd a single tear because she's evil and has limited ability to empathize with others, ironic considering her love of charity. She really could not understand the difference between repeating gossip and Cary stating her opinion. 

Even if Mark and Cary had an affair, all of the parties have made their peace with it. Bringing it up now is just being messy and shady.

And Heidi (was that the name of the goth hoedown hostess?) gossiping about one of her guests is beyond disgusting. I hope her charity world goes down just based on that shit she pulled with the corn dog. That was some Kim G level of desperate thirst. You been wandering in West Texas boo? Because you thirsty.

Tiffany does need to lay off the fillers. I was having a hard time remembering what she used to look like.

Leann needs more than anger management. She needs full-time therapy, medication, and possibly an exorcist.

[Grey Goose]

I checked out of the season. Too much poop talk and none of them seem very smart.

Leeanne --- please on the childhood story.  Please. Enough. She, like Kelly on RYONY, is too broken to navigate reality TV. Also, she must have read the blogs about her makeup but the attempt to tone it down was still a fail.  Hair color too harsh, makeup lines too harsh, still too much makeup, expertly applied.  Red is a great color for her but natch on matching the troweled on blush to the dress.

Everybody else is a big yawn and LeeAnne is nuts.

[Jessica]

Cary is legit the worst fake-crier I have ever seen on reality TV.  I have NEVER seen a more patently phony tear-fest.

[lunastartron]

I make a conscious effort to refrain from remarking upon the physical appearances of any cast member but I'm going to give myself a hall pass since these, um, quote-unquote ladies voluntarily made themselves look the way they do. 

Tiffany's face may be frozen but girlfriend's visage was nowhere near as troubling as Cary's. 

Speaking of which: "What was wrong with Cary?" She'd injected so much botulism into her brow that her emotions were literally contorting to manifest themselves in a human expression. 

At the other end of the spectrum, I thought Marie looked amazing. Those highlights were on-fucking-point and her skin practically glowed. LeeAnne looked pretty, too: age appropriate with gleaming hair. 

Tiffany could look great if she always styled herself as softly as in the scene in which she and LeeAnne confronted Marie over the text messages. 

If there's a season two, those three need to be the full-time core since there's authentic history. 

[BloggerAloud]

If Cary and Mark were at all thinking about the children, they would've never signed up for a Bravo reality show. People dredging up awful things about your past, real or imagined, is the bread and butter of these shows.

I basically did as well. I did not like any of these women. Usually for me, there is at least one woman that seems a bit more sane than the rest or at least amusing to watch. It isn't even like RHONY where I go back and forth on all of them depending on what goes down in an episode. None of these women clicked for me. I actually liked a few of the Potomac women most of the time. Hell, I even like some of the more hated housewives like Heather Dubrow, Bethenny, and Kandi, but for some reason was not a fan of any of these women.

I concur. I kept waiting for a tear to fall since she was just so upset. Though none of the women really could get any tears out.

She's ridiculous.  And I LOL'd when they later showed the clip of her declaring that "everyone's afraid of Leeann - not me!!"  about 5 minutes after her crocodile-tear whining about how she felt bullied.

I'm watching it finally.  She and Mark didn't say one thing that sounded true.  Lame. Crocodile tears.  Nice to be concerned about her children.

Heavy breather walk off crier.  Double lame.

[RedheadZombie]

I have a huge soft spot for Brandi, and I think it was very telling that all the women seemed legitimately tearing up for Brandi when she was discussing her marital difficulties.

I saw tears with Cary.  I think she was extremely upset, yet limited by recent botox.  From her inability to move her face, and her large false eyelashes, I think it did make her seem very wonky at times.  She's actually most attractive, IMO, in minimum makeup, such as at yoga.  I think her problem is she's a huge big talker during her THs, but less effective in the moment (sort of like Carole, NY).

I don't like Leeanne, and I think she has huge anger issues, but I don't like Marie, either.  There's something just so false about her.  She does the delicate bug-eyed trembling thing, but she snapped pretty quick into finger pointing and screeching before she reined herself in.  It takes a lot of something to deny you shared a story when the person you told outs you on camera.  Yes Marie, your good friend just made a wild guess and came up with this story, then decided to go on camera and tell it and frame you for the crime.  Give me a break.  It's also extremely telling, IMO, that Brandi/Cary/Stephanie dislike Leeanne and witnessed her attack on Marie, yet didn't fully side or sympathize with Marie (at the reunion).  I think they know she's full of it.  She's far too conscious of her "image" and absolutely refuses to engage with the fallout of her shit stirring.  Just a huge fail in the housewife world, IMO.

Superficial opinions:

Best hair - Brandi

Best makeup - Marie

Best dress - Cary/Tiffany

Best shoes - Brandi

Worst shoes - Stephanie.  Way too matchy match.

Tiffany looks so much better with darker hair, and Leeanne is drop dead gorgeous naturally, and needs the makeup gun pried from her hand, and to stop with the jet-black dye jobs.

Yeah that was one of the more interesting elements of the reunion that they put their own negative feelings aside about Leeanne to call bullshit on Marie's nonsense.

[Noire]

Cary's Botox frozen tears and ragged sobbing are a case study in guilty as fuck behavior.  She did it.  Otherwise she'd be as dismissive as she is of LeAnne every other day.    

[DrivingSideways]

You know you're obnoxious when Leanne looks like the sane and rational one in your argument.  Cary seemed unstable and inauthentic tonight.  So you and your husband got together via infidelity - just embrace it.  The same issue as with Eileen from Beverly Hills - trying to cover it or justify it is way worse than just being honest about it.  When you lie, you are implying that you think what you've done is wrong.

[Grey Goose]

Cary would have laughed and said prove it if it wasn't true.

I felt the Jesus Juice was such an insult to Christians and I applaud the school for saying your "Jesus Juice" comments don't fit with our religious cultures.

Yes, this about Cary's crazy eyes!!!!

 

Superficial opinions!!! Ok goody, here are mine (although some are mental rather than physical observations)

Tiffany- please have Mark or any other plastic surgeon cut that giant growth off your eye!! Are you licensed to drive with your vision obstructed like that?

Brandi- Don't let your mouth hang open when you're listening. You're actually sweet, sharp and articulate when you speak. But when you listen you look dim-witted.

Cary- The crazy eye twitching and rolling creeped me out

Stephanie- You can tell she's been in counseling with all the "take ownership, take responsibility " yammering.

LeeAnn- oh honey. You're beautiful but so ugly inside.

Marie- Agreed she looked great, but also agree she's probably a total snake. I'd love to know what Tiffany has on her.

Very true but it seems that most newbies think it won't happen to them. Also, most HWs avoid things that can affect another's children in a negative way. LeeAnne is one of the few that have crossed that line.

I'm confused about Cary.  When they re played HER TH, she said, "when Mark and I got together, he was married and overweight..."  So didn't she out herself, that she "got together" with Mark when he was still married? 

Edited June 20, 2016 by Neurochick

[ghoulina]

I actually liked the reunion better than the entire season of this show. 

Interesting that Brandi worked for Travis at one point, and thought he was an asshole! I'd like to know more of a timeline on those two marriages and friendships. Did Brandi know Travis before Stephanie did? 

Also interesting - Stephanie said she and and Travis were in therapy the whole time. It seems like that's something they do on a regular basis, which isn't a bad idea. I noticed Brandi and Brian have somehow miraculously gone from the "d" word to vow renewal in just one year, but no mention of therapy was made for THEIR situation. Hmmmm

Also, her kids were kicked out of their school due to her behavior??? That's pretty serious. Is she going to tone it down now? Probably not. She admits she and her husband had an agreement about strip clubs, but just laughs off the fact that she broke her deal.  I really don't like her. 

I thought Cary was a total drama queen. I totally get that it's not really anyone's business how she got together with Mark, and I thought it was tacky every time it was mentioned. But, honey, don't put yourself on a reality show. Surely she had to know this was going to be a topic. But I just didn't buy all her sobbing, like her life was so ruined by this. And she DID act like she purposefully sought Mark out to get a rich guy she could change. Sorry, don't try to change your tune now. 

What I really didn't care for was when she said she thought LeeAnne was all about "upward mobility". Take a look in the mirror. That is, if Mark isn't hogging it. 

Somehow LeeAnne didn't bug me that much. I thought she seemed very self aware and not taking it all too seriously for much of the time. 

I'm over poop-gate, I don't really care. But wow, Marie really showed a different side. No more calm, serene lady of the manor. 

Tiffany bores me and her face scares me. 

[eurekagirl mOo]

Well I LOVED this! Lots of snark, lot's of shade and lot's of screaming. It was everything a Reunion should be. THIS is my super bowl! 

Leanne-Honey-I used to act like you. Screaming. Blaming shit on everybody else.Not making any sense. Then I was diagnosed as bi-polar and put on mood stabilizers. BIG difference. Get thee to a mental health professional. asap

 Cary-DEFEND yourself! Stop crying and just say Yeah? So what? How does this effect you? You owe nobody not ONE word......

All in all a good reunion. I look forward to season 2. If there is one.

Marks socks!!!!! 

[bosawks]

Leanne's nostrils were flaring so much I thought she was about to run the streets of Pamplona.

[Vicky8675309]

I adore Stephanie & Brandi.

I believe and like Cary.

Tiffany is irrelevant and I don't like her.

LeeAnne is malicious and I can't stand this bully. She confabulates, obfuscates and deflects her answers.

[Diane Mars]

My two cents, regarding Marie, Tiffany and LeeAnn : they were escorts and that's how they met. And they probably worked together (maybe only Tiffany and Marie, and that's could be what Tiffany has against Marie......)

I agree with much of this- except that I don't really believe (or frankly care) about Cary and Mark.

Stephanie has a hearty and genuine laugh and that makes me love her. She's real, whether for good or bad.  And I love that she wholeheartedly supports Brandi. She's a good girlfriend.

I think LeeAnne is too mentally ill to put on a reality show.  She keeps talking about "charity world" like its a living, breathing thing and it's creepy. And her willingness to make death threats and not own up to the fact that it's not normal is scary.  Is anyone in "charity world" watching this?

I could not get over Cary and Marie's eyes!  Cary can't fully close her right eye(I actually slo-mo'd both of them) and Marie can't close either of her eyes!  Who chooses to do that to themselves???  It would really scare me to know that I couldn't close my eyes all the way to lubricate them.  Jeeeezus what some women will do for beauty.

Tiffany's entire face is immovable and scary looking. Someone mentioned above that she needs the mole removed above her eye and I totally agree.  She also needs to stop parting her hair right down the middle. Pick a side Tiff, it would soften your face.

I still can't stand Cary and Mark and I do not understand why he had a seat on the couch with all the women...oh wait, he acts so much like a woman that he does belong there.  All except, Brandi and Stephanie need to work on there tear production.  Maybe the reason why Cary was dry crying is because she has no moisture in those poor eyes.  Either way, her crying was fakeity fake.

[MaggieG]

I actually like Brandi and Stephanie. They amused me. I also liked that they told Leanne to stop using her childhood and be an adult and take ownership. I can't anymore with Leanne and her sob stories. 

Mark was rocking some fancy ass socks. 

Marie looked beautiful but I still don't understand why she keeps lying about the ridiculous poop story. If only Leanne, tiffany and Marie knew about it and Taylor and Tiffany aren't friends (I don't think) then obviously Marie blabbed. Does she think we all believe her? I don't follow any of these women on social media but is it true she's talking all sorts of shit about Leanne? 

[MissVanessaIves]

I did not like any of these women, and LeAnn needs to be on meds or in a psych hospital to get over these issues. Please Bravo Andy don't make us watch this again, I would rather watch The Real Housewives of Alaska and see them arguing over who has stockpiled more fish for the winter or who has the nicest fur wrap or biggest Log Cabin. That would be more entertaining and less disgusting than this....... this was too much crazy and too little glamour, closets and shopping.

She said when I met Mark...  and then they told the story that for some reason shocked me, of her first husband.   I don't really like, nor understand the two of them but I believe Cary and Mark.  I think she worked in his office as an engaged woman, he was an unhappily married man.  She went through with her wedding, then her husband bounced and during the period where Mark was acting like a good friend and being super consoling, she would've looked up at him tearfully and said you're such a good guy, if only your wife appreciated you.....    There's something about the way she said (I don't remember if this was on the reunion or in an old TH) he was making changes and lost the 80lbs before we got together.......now I'm not gonna say whether or not he had any incentive *wink wink*.    Emotionally, I think they were more involved than a married man and his still married but going through a divorce assistant are entitled to be.  All that means is she started digging him and let him know it and he was like lemme hurry up and drop this weight because she's out of my league as it is and go ahead and put a cork in this marriage because she isn't about to get with me until I'm really free.  I mean they're the only ones who'll ever know but technically, if it went like that, there was no affair and no stealing.   I just think she's really bad at coming out with both barrels and blasting Luanne for stating that shit like it was a fact.  Inability to articulate doesn't always imply guilt.  Sometimes it means you're so pissed you can't address it.  Aside from all that the thing lends their position some credibility is something Mark said at the end..? about the source Leann hearing it from having been his ex wife's best friend - he said she watched that episode and she swears she's never met you.  Leanne shut up right then.  That's when I would've kicked her ass on national television.  You lying out loud and don't have one receipt?

[Vicky8675309]

Their blogs confirm (or reaffirm) my dislike of LeeAnne & Tiffany.

I believe Cary and think she has a quirky sense of humor.

Interesting that none of the women raised their hands when Andy asked if they agreed with Tiffany showing LeeAnne the texts.

I admire Stephanie (at the beginning of the season I didn't think I would like her as much as I do now)

They all dressed nicely for the reunion (I'm not a fan of the color yellow but the dress was ok). I liked Mark's socks!

edit: I really hated how LeeAnne tried to demean Cary but saying her jobs was just to "cut on titties".

Edited June 20, 2016 by Vicky8675309

[booboopbedoo]

What a horrible group of women!

Harpies and Shrews. Leanne needs a makeover and ALL of them need some class.

I would be ashamed to have them portray my City

[Neurochick]

Still don't believe Cary.  She can bat her eyelashes all she wants (or maybe she can't...too much botox) but I just don't believe her, "I just went to work for him and BAM, he just fell for me and ooops, I didn't break up a marriage."  I've had too many friends where that shit happened to, to believe that woman.

[ZaldamoWilder]

It's probably as likely as any other version.   Either way I'm uncomfortable with Leanne throwing out an accusation like that for any reason, but especially without backup.   Then personally, I can't stand the she *stole* another woman's husband narrative.  You can't steal a person who doesn't want to leave.

[AuntiePam]

I don't see any reason why this franchise should get a second season.  Brandi and Stephanie's issues with their husbands have been resolved.  Tiffany has no story.  Leeanne will never change.  Cary brought nothing except as a small target.

I was appalled at Marie hiring people to use social media against Leeanne and Tiffany.  Surprised to hear that Cary had a quick marriage before hooking Mark.  I chuckled at Cary's comment -- "People think we're weird!"  Yup, we do. 

Love Leeanne's hair.  Marie did look great, but the woman's still a freak. 

[TexasGal]

Either this was the worst editing ever, or every last one of them went off their Xanax for the reunion.  There were a few times where things went from 0 to 200 in the blink of an eye for no apparent reason.

Stephanie's face looked different to me.  I couldn't figure out if she had work done or if it was because she had troweled on raccoon eye makeup that she normally doesn't wear.

[Nancybeth]

Stephanie's eye makeup definitely looked much heavier then we've seen on the show.  On the other hand, I thought Brandi looked better on the reunion than she has the entire season!  I like her hair color (it's got less blonde in it with more true red) and her makeup was an improvement too...she was doing some heavy contouring and bronzer, maybe, during filming? 

Leeann is certifiable.  Really, seriously, there is something wrong with that woman.  The only way I can see tuning in to this franchise again would be to get rid of her and Tiffany (snore), and maybe add Marie to the cast? 

[pasdetrois]

Diane Mars, I think you're on to something with the escort history. The three have a shaky pact not to reveal too much about each other's past. Sounds like Tiffany did nude modeling or soft-core porn.

Did Marie get bolt-on boobs right before the reunion? Don't recall her having much of a bosom during the season. We must be camera-ready while we desperately audition to be a Housewife.

*Slow clap for Cary.* She gets the award for the Best Fake Performance of the evening. She's trying to re-write the nasty, arrogant impression she left throughout all the episodes.

Didn't Michael Jackson refer to wine as Jesus Juice and allegedly give it to young visitors? Maybe Brandi should re-think her catch phrase. Not to mention how much of it she guzzles. You KNOW there was lots of gossip about her at that Christian school. Those poor little girls.

Tiffany's face looks like she's having an anaphylactic reaction, only she did it on purpose. She tried to narrow her eyes a couple times - throwing queenly shade - but they were already slits.

LeeAnne needs to evolve from using her victimhood to garner sympathy and attention and as an excuse to behave like an asshole.

I could handle Stephanie if she would tone down that nervous, hyena laugh.

[Slider]

Cary is the classic bully who cries that everyone else is a bully.  She's just plain awful.  And an ugly fake crier.

I thought Brandi looked nice except for the part in her hair - she had a weird bump in the middle of her head that just didn't look right at certain angles, like she had a random bump at the top of her head.

Is Marie for real?

[raiderred1]

I know I have brought up the eyes with regards to Cary and Marie so sorry for beating a dead horse but have y'all noticed how Cary, throughout the season, would squint her eyes?  It's as though she can't close them enough anymore and they look bug-eyed when she doesn't try to do anything with them.  It is so strange and intriguing to me. I guess Mark is to blame for this shitty work on her.  I will be in that area of their building in Uptown, in a few weeks, I might just pop in (rubbing hands together and quietly giggling) and ask the cost of the "Cary" special.

If they do come back I hope it happens to Tiffany.  She's still my least favorite.  I don't "dislike" Marie as far as housewives go, but she's definitely shady.

I wonder if Cary was surprised by how she came off this season - I think she was going for cool, wacky, and doesn't put up with shit, but realized she didn't achieve that so she tried a new, weepy "poor me" for the reunion.  At one point when they were defending the start of their relationship, her husband said something like "Unfortunately, I started having feelings for her" which was a slip of his tongue, I believe; if everything was innocent and proper it wouldn't have been "unfortunate."

I am not sure him developing feelings for her equals them having an affair. It is just a likely that they both left their respective spouses first and then got together as it is they had an affair. That his children from his first wife get along with Cary tells me that there was no "affair".

I agree, I think Cary sees herself as funny/wacky, cool but tough and came off not so nice/funny.

I dislike Tiffany and LeeAnne. Both think they are something special and neither is IMO.

Absolutely -- she went from playing hip dame to whiny & lame in one clod-hopping (oh, those shoes) stumbling leap. And several have mentioned her forever-slitty eyes -- like a demented porcelain doll in a seventies horror movie -- not a good look for the wife of a plastic surgeon.

I think Stephanie is the stealth troublemaker in the group; that chipmunk voice, uber toothy grin and fake-hearty laugh hide a world of sour, and if there is a second season, I fully expect her to be the one shitting in da' basket.

When Tiffany said she's keeping Marie's secrets to protect her and her daughter, I thought she must be referring to something Marie's husband did.  Otherwise, wouldn't Tiffany had said I'm protecting you and your family?  It seemed very deliberate.

The editing was extremely sloppy, and I saw several parts that were obviously snipped, taking out the context.

I thought all of the women, except Cary and Marie, had plumper looking faces.  I assumed they'd recently had fillers.

I know I have brought up the eyes with regards to Cary and Marie so sorry for beating a dead horse but have y'all noticed how Cary, throughout the season, would squint her eyes?  It's as though she can't close them enough anymore and they look bug-eyed when she doesn't try to do anything with them.  It is so strange and intriguing to me. I guess Mark is to blame for this shitty work on her.  I will be in that area of their building in Uptown, in a few weeks, I might just pop in (rubbing hands together and quietly giggling) and ask the cost of the "Cary" special.

We saw Cary self-inject Botox on the show, so I think she's more to blame than Mark.

Did Cary downsize her breast implants.  She seemed very small-breasted in her dress.

I think Stephanie is the stealth troublemaker in the group; that chipmunk voice, uber toothy grin and fake-hearty laugh hide a world of sour, and if there is a second season, I fully expect her to be the one shitting in da' basket. 

This! I don't mind her, but I think she gets away with stuff.  She has no problem making fun of people on the sidelines, but once she gets called on it? Out come the tears and the indignation.

Overall I think she's fine, but she's stealthy mean Barbie.
