S02.E06: Don't Cry Over Spilled Tea

Aww, Rich's proposal to Leeann was truly sweet.  As truly insane as she is (as evidenced by next week's preview), there is still something like every week that makes you root for Leann, even it is just for like one minute.

D'Andra continually calling out Leann is awesome.  I would love for her to bring her BS-meter and use it on all housewives. The Honestea is a ridiculous idea for real life but perfect for the Real HoWives.

I laughed out loud when Brandi mentioned the Mark is gay rumor and Leann turned and said, oh. well there we go.  The way she said that was hilarious.  (And I agree with Cary that it is offensive to spread the he is gay rumors as an insult.)

Cary needs to take Zuri and run.  What is Mark's redeeming quality? Being rich?  Cary seems like she could do way better.  I like her this year but I didn't like her at all last season and I can't remember why.  Maybe it was her gross scenes with Mark adn not actually her.  

Hopefully, we never have to hear Kameron complain about Brandi not giving her a present again.  I thought Brandi was trying to play nice by bringing her a gift bag and Kameron was just rude about it.  I think that Kameron expected Brandi to be falling all over her because she is the spoiled rich girl pretty princess and Brandi is the new money from the trailer park but Brandi doesn't care about that.  Is Kameron's whoel thing an act gone wrong?  Like she thought she would come off as cute and witty?

Brandi's kids seem wild in every scene.  It seems ill-advised to have another kid when she seems worn out already - just to get a boy.

I agree about Leann.  She's hard to take but there is a part of me that roots for her.  

I can't seem to watch Cary's scenes, and the mute button goes on when the camera is in her home.   I think she's probably nice enough in real life, but she is very controlled in everything she says, does, wears, etc.  Maybe life comes really easy for her and she doesn't have the same issues many of us have - or maybe she has the ability to shrug them off far better than the rest of us.  Or maybe she's shoved them so far down even she doesn't realize she has issues.  Either way, at the surface, she comes off as flat and boring and not all relatable or interesting.  

Seems like you might be right that being rich is Mark's redeeming quality - which may work just fine for someone like Cary.

SAME. I keep trying to resist liking her, because I feel like I have a really good reason for disliking her. I just can't recall what it is.....

Catching up with the show. Cary seemed to be very snobby last year. She was focused on buying a home in Switzerland with Mark & buying other fancy things. She also bragged about her wonderful sex life with Mark . She is much more attached to Zuri this season. This marriage will not end well if Mark continues to blast his wife in front of dinner guests.

They didn't let LVP use "Pinky" because they thought Pinky Vanderpump sounded like a porn star. LVP wisely doesn't usually wear head to toe pink like the Pink Prissy Princess.

I can't stand her. Outwardly dumb, but secretly smart is not easy to pull off on one of these shows. Kameron is doing a piss poor job of attempting to pull it off. She comes across as dumb dumb, not smart dumb. Kameron didn't even have an answer for her 6 year old when her 6 year asked what's so great about pink dog poop. Wig is dumb and lazy, but she's not shy about putting her

 

which is what keeps her in coins even if she spends them as fast as she can earn them. Sonja Morgan has managed smart dumb the best by being kooky, not straight up stupid like Kameron. Kameron starts her pitch to her husband by talking about how the pet business is worth billions of dollars, but then has no info about whether people want pink dog food. If Dallas is anything like Potomac, Dallas has 2 episodes for the Mexico trip and 4 more episodes until the reunion. That leaves Kameron 4 episodes to explore her dumb dog food idea before it's a complete bust. Pink in itself isn't a concept. It's a color. What's a concept is an app that consolidates all of the in home pet services: sitters, walkers, vets, groomers, trainers, supply, and foods.

I think her husband was shocked by how amateurish her presentation was over pink dog food. We have dogs & they could care less about the color of their food.

"C" as in the name, not the description of the person...bwahaha 

Yep, the letter "C" definitely describes Cary in more ways than one!

I know Kameron gets a lot of hate but she resembles a perfect Disney princess to me.

(Don't hit me!)

[Reppiks2897]

Ugh Mark is an A-hole! Making comments like "why don't you get Zuri to clean up" or  she's adorable, "yeah I guess so".  But Cary knew he was going to be a hands-off dad, so why she bothered to pick him for the father of her child is beyond me! He just seems like he wants to live the life of a childless couple. And probably resents her for getting pregnant and having Zuri is disrupting his life that he wants. I feel bad for a Zuri not having a father she deserves, and wanting his attention and being dismissed by him.

Do you think she went into her Plastic Surgeons office and stated that she wanted to look like Snow White?

I am thinking more Sleeping Beauty.

Apparently Rich has a thing for sociopaths - what's the story there?

Kudos to Rich. That was a perfect engagement set up for Leann. I think she was genuinely surprised. 

Or jealous of the attention the child needs from its mother. 

Yup. Also, their relationship reminds me of RHOBH's Russell and Taylor more than I'd like to admit. He actually scares me a little more than Russell did.

I saw the rerun of Watch What Happens Live with Brandi, Stephanie and Cary today. Andy asked Cary if it's true that she and Mark have to have sex every day. She said, "well, we don't HAVE to...we want to!" Um, right Cary, yes you do HAVE to. She is a liar if she says otherwise-

I think she's a liar when she says they do it once or twice a day every day.

Re Mark vs. Russell Armstrong:

The one time we really got to see Russell spending major one-on-one time with his daughter, he was very tender and engaged with her--in a way that did not look faked for TV, based on how Kennedy responded to him.  He might have been a bad husband (though I'm not sure it was possible to be a good husband to Taylor), but he seemed like a kind father who genuinely loved his child.  Mark?  Oy vey.

Hmm...I don't get that vibe, and I hope that I never do. Is there a specific instance that rattled your gut? 

[ladle]

To the extent that anything on this show is enjoyable (which it isn't, really), I do mildly enjoy the Brandi/Stephanie/Cary friendship. They do genuinely seem to enjoy each other. 

Also, D'Andra's response to Leann's sob story was amusing too.

Mark freaks me out way more than Russell. He's openly nasty and dismissive about Zuri and Cary's efforts to be a mother. He insists on dressing Cary. Cary is always asking his permission to do things (leave work, be with their child, do things for herself). And the sex thing...there is something really off in that relationship. 

According to Cary, he flipped out when he found out she was pregnant. There is something off with him. And a lot of it stems from the same place--wanting to control everything around him. He didn't want the kid because kids are hard to control. He made all of the food at the wedding because he couldn't give up control to a caterer. He dresses Cary because he wants to control her. She has ask permission to leave because of his control issues. I don't think he's physically abusing Cary. But if she left him, he might use all of his resources to ruin the rest of her life. Or murder her.

@HunterHunted  He is very strong in personality as well as dominant. To some it might sound good...a husband who can pick them out the most wonderful outfit. However, is it worth being told when and where you can wear it? What you should (meant more than a suggestion) have on.  I do find his relationship with his daughter disturbing. He does not epitomize a loving and doting father. I can't believe, for instance, that a man like him who loves to buy dresses and dress his wife in them, why it doesn't apply to Zuri.  I had a field day getting feminine stuff for my granddaughter. He is odd. Perhaps not a good odd. 

[pasdetrois]

I don't feel sorry for Cary because I think she pursued Mark for his money (and the free plastic surgery). I think the marriage and having Zuri were very calculated on Cary's part. She's way too smart not to have known what she was getting into. It worked for her for awhile, and now she's ready to move on and leave him in the dust (but not his money).
