Bros & Shows - Brit Ditches the Reunion (RHOA Reunion pt 1 Full Recap)

Episode Date: July 18, 2025

What's up Bros? We watched part 1 of the reunion and we stand by our sentiment that there is not enough for 3 episodes. This episode surrounded Brit mainly but one problem... Brit isn't there to answer for any of it. Porsha speaks on her behalf but a lot of it goes unanswered. Porsha and Shamea are clearly at odds and Kelli has some tension with her as well. Angela and Phaedra tease their drama for episode 2 and we are actually interested to see how that and the Charles thing plays out. The positive thing is that this cast is good enough for a solid season next year. We are cautiously optimistic. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Well, it's been three weeks, but we finally got part one of the much-awaited three-part Roa reunion. I needed to be reminded what the hell we were even doing. Samezies.

Take one week off and we forget. Frozen shows, pros and shows. I got to have me my pros and shows. Bros and shows. I got to have me my Bros and shows. Good evening, everybody. Welcome back to another episode. Bros and Shows, I'm your co-host, Steele Russell, joined as always by the one and only Georgia

Peach Goots. What's up, dude? I don't... No, wait, Georgia Poots. Georgia Poots. I don't know what's going on with Atlanta. Like I said, you take a week off, you lose... I don't think they had a whole lot of momentum, but you lose whatever you had.

It was just weird. It took two weeks off. Yeah. Was it two weeks? Two weeks. Because there was one week after the reunion. It was two weeks since the last. Yeah.

Since the last episode. It's been two weeks. Yes, it's been two weeks, but they only took one week off. Yeah, it's man. Whatever. I don't, I just didn't care. I didn't either. And like, here's the thing.

Sorry, we'll still, we'll do our thing. I think I still enjoyed it. It was just, it's just weird. And I know it's July 4th weekend. That seems like a weird reason to take off. I thought so, too. I think you can run it on July 4th weekend. end and like the other part of this is they're clearly not having a lot to talk about to stretch

this into three parts so like weird not a lot happened here the other part of me forgetting a lot is in between those two weeks i watched like 15 episodes of love island correct that took up most of my capacity yeah so as things were happening i'm like oh yeah oh yeah i'd rewind it a lot yeah i i think i agree with you i do and it just pisses me off because we already hate three part regions as it is two parts we hate three parts in good seasons yeah so when there are signs that they're drawing things out and they're spending way too much time talking about things that don't matter it's very apparent that they're doing this because they want to make it three parts yes and i just don't understand there's two things there one thing i'll never understand is the

holiday schedule we went through i still remember going through like christmas there were a couple shows off but other shows were still airing and one of the shows aired like the day after christmas but there was one show that didn't air the day before christmas eve that didn't make any sense so bravo's scheduling around holidays never make sense to me no and i agree with you i there you could have easily just done this last sunday it's two days after july fourth who cares people are home people are getting ready whatever neither here nor there i just needed some time to get into it. And then I realized, oh, God, they're really just dragging this thing out, aren't they?

They really are. And they know, a tough part is like, when you spend that much time in the getting ready phase, it's like, ooh, what are we waiting for? Why are we taking so long to get to the stage? I would have understood it if they spent the entire time because Britt had contacted. Let's say Britt contacted Portia and she contacted, I don't know, Shemia maybe. Who cares? there were two different camps that were talking about this

and finding out that Britt wasn't there if they had different stories about why Britt wasn't there because she changed her story or whatever I would understand that sure let's spend the entire Get Ready phase because we're not going to we're still going to talk about Britt's storyline but she's not going to talk on her on behalf so that's already something getting cut out of this reunion

fine if you want to do the first 10 minutes of getting ready but they're talking about Brits not being there I'm okay with that instead it was where is Britt I don't know did you hear from her Let's call her. No, okay. Hey, don't take, you took too much magnesium, Portia. You're going to sleep and then you're going to have trouble pooping.

No, you're going to have diarrhea. You're going to have diarrhea. I'd say it's one or the other. But that's really all it was. And it was 10 to 12 minutes of that. Yeah. It's just very confusing. And then they were like, we started 9 o'clock, but Drew didn't show up until 10, 15,

but she was basically ready. And then we got started at 1130. Drew was three hours late. Yeah. Drew was three hours late and everybody was two and a half hours late. Yeah. Drew was just extra late. And, like, when it opens up, you get the glam squad, and I thought, I did think

the Kelly's team shirts were funny. Brits MIA, Fager goes to check on her not there, goes into Fajel's room, that's when you get the magnesium with the sleepy poo-poo. Then we get to the reunion. And the minute the Porsche sits down, Shamia rolls her eyes at her. So last we left these two, they were okay. They were fine. I mean, Lundy's passing had just gone through.

sometimes a weird way to say that just apologies I don't know what I was doing there I don't know what that was should be and just happens I don't know whatever I was I was trying to like kind of beat around it to like make it seem nice

I try to soften the blow and instead you said something and then I made it seem like office lingo but yeah Shimea and Porsche were fine and now they're not which I mean we should find out during this why they're not the third part probably

bro why this is the whole thing this episode can be summed up pretty quickly we check in how was your first season how was your first season how was your first season great all right uh Porsche where we where's everybody stand right now with their divorces okay cool and then we're going to tease uh angela and fager getting into it which i'm i'm looking i'm excited about that part yeah same because that'll be somewhat interesting because angela can hold her own and fager is a legend of the game at this point. So that'll be fun. And I know what they were doing when they kept showing that in like every commercial break. This is what we're getting to, guys. Hold on.

Hold on. We're almost there. It's like, okay, I know what you're doing. And then you're not going to give us everything. You're just going to give us a taste so that we come back for episode two. Whatever. I can't even knock that. That's how these things work. But the rest of it really was just let's talk to everybody individually. And there was some nuggets here and there. But I don't know. I just, it was lackluster. It was. You know, we find out that Brit is filing a lawsuit against Drew because she's upset about a blog about the Kenya pictures

I but we didn't get a whole lot of information that would have been nice to dig into a little bit so what I'm getting from it is Britt thinks that Drew played a hand in this and knew that Kenyan was going to do it maybe supplied her with

information about who yeah the post report maybe supplied her with information about who would know things I don't know we didn't really get into it. Drew doesn't seem like she wants to get into it. She's kind of laughed it off. Well, she hasn't been served or anything like that. So she's waiting to get

the lawsuit. Brit's going to sue everybody on the cast probably for looking at it. She needs money. Even though the pictures weren't even her apparently. So like, what's going on? That's the crazier part to me when all of this shook out at the end of the season and like we read everything in the media going on and like Britt talking about

how tough of a season it was and that she's suing Bravo for defamation and for allowing the pictures to happen and then in the same day says the pictures weren't her so like how do you have a lawsuit if the pictures aren't you none of it makes sense i don't get it but i thought we were going to get more out of the portia divorce and like dennis and drew situation then a lot of this was about divorce but like when they brought up portia and drew and dennis i'm like all right cool like this was something that didn't make a lot of sense to me yeah yeah and like let's let's dig into it now

because these two were never able to actually sit down and talk about it so we can talk had a really good showing for this. I thought Drew did well. She had a really good showing for, especially for her getting the last chair, which I think is disrespectful. I think. But it's so weird.

You know what it is? It just had a weird feeling from jump because there were two people sitting on the left side and four on the right. Obviously, you know, Britt was supposed to sit on the left side, whatever. But it just felt weird.

It should be three and three. Yeah, at that point. And I know Cynthia comes out and she sits on the left side, but Cynthia's a friend to all. She should sit next to Andy. I think so, too. Yeah, like Lisa.

does the reunions, just sit next to Andy. That would have been cool. And I think it's weird that like every topic that we discussed, Andy checked in with Portia about how she felt about it. Yeah. Like, Porsche, give your two cents. Like, this has nothing to do with Porsche. No, it has nothing to do with Porsche, but I think it's more,

we brought you back on a full-time deal and we want you to show up. So we're going to check in with you at all turns, I guess. It seemed like they were really pushing that because even like, Pretty much every question that Andy had for Portia was prefaced with, now that you're back, it's, you know, it's great to have you back. Yeah. You think about this. And it's like, okay, we know what you're doing.

That's a good point. It's okay. Like, I have no problem with Portia being on the cast if she brings it. Same. And there are certain times that she could have brought it more. Sure. But, you know, I'm removed enough from the situation at this point because we've been waiting, you know, a month.

Six weeks for the reunion that I don't care too much. And if she's going to show up at the reunion, that's fine. We see people do that all the time on various shows. Yeah. And, like, I'm cool if you bring it at the reunion. This wasn't that. But we start out with the divorces, like I said, and what she's going through with Simon. I guess at some point, Shamiya had warned her about Simon. Like, there's rumors out there. And, like, just be careful pretty much with this guy. Seems like a scammer. Turned out to be a scammer. But let's talk about Kelly asking, why did you take that woman's husband? Yeah. Because that was a sticking point early on. Kelly had just gotten on the show. And she brought that up. of the gate that does give some credit to the the alliance that was formed to go after Porsche because we even thought in the moment we're like whoa that's a strong move to take a swing at Porsche in your first episode but here we are and I guess at some point they had sat down together and had like a real heart to heart about what they're going through and so Porsche

tries to draw on that and says you know we're going through the same thing and Kelly I don't even think she said same thing I think she said a lot like hers I thought it was same thing. Yeah, maybe it was. It didn't seem like that deep. I didn't think so either. I thought it was just like a one-off, like, you know, sort of drawing parallels to the fact that everybody's going through shit right now.

And there's divorces kind of happening left and right. And we even said that towards the end of the season. Like, you guys should have probably talked about your divorces because you're both going through one right now. Maybe discuss the different things that are going on. And you bring ruin to it as well. And I don't think there. And Porsche is being. shady about a lot of things. And she even admits to being shady about certain things. I don't think

she was throwing shade. She was just kind of like, it was a one-off comment. Like, yeah, you know, I'm going through this divorce, blah, blah, blah. This is what's going on. And, you know, some things are happening, you know, just like things are happening in her divorce is kind of how I took it. Yeah. It wasn't even like a, this is happening my divorce. And it's also happening in her divorce. It was just kind of like a, yeah, she's also going through some shit too. Kelly took such offense to it. I think, and like it took me a while to put it together. why Kelly's mad. I think this is stemming from, you know, I don't know if it was the finale or the week

prior, but you had that scene with Britt and, uh, Porsche and Cynthia. Yeah. And that's when Brit divulged a lot of information to Porsche via Kelly. And I don't know if Kelly took that when she saw that. And she's like, oh, Porsche is part of this like gang up on me. Shit. I don't like that. So I, I think that's where this is stemming from.

Right. Because you're right. She very quickly, she's like, don't completely. she's like, don't compare our divorces. They're way different. I was married for 11 years. You were married for 11 months. Don't compare these two things.

I was the same as you. I'm like, oh, I didn't think it was that serious. I think Portia was confused, too. Yeah, it didn't seem like she was taking a shot. Yeah, it didn't seem like she was taking a shot. But this is kind of where we are. And I don't want, you know, Brit or Brit's team or fans or whoever to take this the wrong way. Are there Brit fans?

I hope not. They would have to get a psychological checkup. But with Britt not being there, it leaves a huge void. Sure. Because she was involved in a lot of shit and she had a lot to answer for. We didn't like her. I don't think she was a good fit with the show. She was trying too hard.

It was just miserable watching her on screen half the time. So I don't really want her on the show. But when you're in there for the entire season and you're involved in so much and you're talking shit about so many people playing both sides of the field and then you don't show up to the reunion, we have situations like this where we're, answering and we're having Kelly in portion, whoever answer for what Brit said, it doesn't work at all. It's almost better off not talking about Brit at all. Anything that Brit was involved in, let's just leave that away because there's no reason to talk about it.

You know what I mean? So it was just kind of weird. And that's sort of how this whole episode went. That's a good point. It's like we got the lead in. Yeah. But then we never get any real answers because the main culprit involved isn't there to answer for it. It's almost like we would rather her be there and then also be done.

Agreed. Like go to the reunion, zoom into the reunion, if you want to pull a Diana Jenkins. I don't give a shit. I don't care what you do, but you should be able to answer in some capacity. So at least we can talk about the things that we watch throughout the season. Otherwise, it's just kind of a waste of time. I agree. It's hard to get invested when you know you're not going to get an answer.

And they do that a lot this episode. But we get to Porsche saying, I would fuck Charles or I should fuck Charles in regards to Angela and we get the whole montage of her talking shit about it thereafter like I shouldn't have said that

but I guess I should have because I was talking about girls and Dumbo was up there listening like all that stuff and Angela's response is like well that's why I said why do you take that man's or that woman's husband

she says I jumped in because you were initially talking shit about Charles and that wasn't the I should fuck Charles moment that's when she said I heard something about Charles and then

Yeah, and then didn't say what it was. So, Angela, understandably so, took that some kind of way. And she clapped back at you. And very, like, that's the other thing about Angela. When she does get involved, she says it very calmly. Yeah. Like that. She says it very calmly, and I never doubt that there's going to be a resolution at some point.

It's almost like, I mean, we see a lot of the housewives now and then pretty much go through this type of situation. And they never say or never really get to the core of what they're saying. They just kind of speak around. it. She doesn't. And then they never really want to resolve things. Angela wants you to fully understand and she does a really good job of making you understand how she felt in a moment or whatever the situation might be. And then she's always willing to be like, all right, but we can let that go. I'm okay with letting it go because you let me speak my piece. I don't really care what you have to say, but I'm letting you speak your piece. And you get that kind of air about her. And that's why she

works so well with this group. And I think she would work really well on any show. So it's just it's one of those situations where if Angela's speaking, I'm going to listen to what she has to say. Yeah. Because she's going to make sense. And I'm going to resonate with it. So it's okay. I agree.

That's a good way to put it. But let's get to the Dennis drama. Obviously, we watched all season. Drew was involved with Dennis professionally. I don't think that they point or any boinking. I was pretty convinced during the season, but I don't think any shenanigans were afoot. With MX Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only

The twisted tale of Amanda Knox is an eight-episode Hulu original limited series that blends gripping pacing with emotional complexity, offering a dramatized look as it revisits the wrongful

conviction of Amanda Knox for the tragic murder of Meredith Kircher and the relentless media storm that followed. The twisted tale of Amanda Knox is now streaming only on Disney Plus. Portia's big issue was the filming. It wasn't so much working together. She's saying that now. I don't know about that. I think she did take them working together some type of way.

Yeah. But she told Dennis, in the car, every time he film with her, we're going to have a problem. I see you on camera with her. It's going to be a big problem. now you can look at this one of two ways i actually thought drew did a good job of explaining her side of things her big line was if the cameras are there like they're going to film what they're going to film yeah like i'm at the studio i'm working dennis is my producer they brought the cameras there i'm not going to yeah change we didn't see drew sitting i mean we saw weird

face times yeah where dennis bought a bottle for her and her sister to celebrate or whatever saddest celebration ever yeah the very very sad celebration but i like to drew a lot this episode because she had an air about her like she didn't give a fuck yeah she just simply didn't care about really anything that was thrown her way so i feel like that's when we get a truthful drew when we actually see how she feels we actually get what happened and i i believed everywhere that she said which is a lot for me with drew and i just felt like this was going towards a another non-resolution it's like okay we're just going to agree to disagree. But instead, this took a huge turn where Porsche was just focused on one thing.

We're going to have a problem if you're filming with her. And it seems like after watching the season, maybe she was able to kind of sit through a couple of things and realize, okay, yeah, they really only did film in the studio. What am I supposed to do about that? He's allowed to make a living if he wants to do this with Drew and he's going to get some publicity for it, fine, whatever. It seems like Portia kind of came to terms of that, which is good. Yeah. She's also coming to terms of the fact that, yeah, I was just being shady the entire time. I thought that was the right move for Porsche

I did because if she had taken the stance of we're never going to see eye to eye with this and I'm still mad at Dennis and I still think that things were going on there and it was unsavory whatever it could have been she could have played that game it wouldn't have hit the fact that she was able to just completely stop everything

and just kind of laugh about it like yeah I was just being shady she even stood up and gave Drew a hug I know that was nice I was surprised I think Drew was surprised I think everybody was because they weren't getting along no because until it got clear it up. I agree. I think Portia realized, and that's

why she was like, yeah, I was being shady. Yeah. But she was still defensive until she got there. Like, she brings up the text that implies studio time for sex. Yeah. But conveniently forgets how it was set up. Yeah. Like, I don't remember the first text, but the second text that he said was, I'm not going to fuck

you. Mm-hmm. Give me my money. Yeah. Okay. Well, whatever you're leaving out, it's very important. Yeah. You're making it seem like she solicited this man. And that's a pretty bold claim to be making here for studio time. Drew lost me a little bit when she and not like, that wasn't anti-Drew. It's just funny when she's like, you know, I called her constantly.

It's like you called her like four times sporadically. Yeah. And we both kind of did it. And like we just kind of gave up on that. Yeah, you're ditching each other. Because you guys kept ditching each other and then you were separately talking about it. And we were just over it within a couple of episodes. So bringing it back up now is actually.

kind of funny. Yeah. Because now it's like, oh, we need to hold somebody accountable because you didn't do this. It's like, no, if we remember correctly, you both did the same thing to each other. Just leave it alone. Exactly. Move on.

They do. Yeah. Which we do like. Which is awesome. Yeah, that's a great move. We love resolution. We've got to leave it in the past. Resolution is always great.

She gives Drew flowers for the album, metaphorical flowers, and says that she's sorry for meeting with Ralph. She 100% did that to be petty. She felt bad about the whole season. And she cares about it. about Drew and that wasn't right great cool awesome that now let's spend a lot of time on brit and kelly yeah one of whom can't answer for themselves this was so stupid this is where they lost me yeah i was so hard for me like stay engaged talking for brit and it was like and it was

like and we kind of go back to the beginning of the reunion where who heard from brit and Porsche's like, yeah, I talked to her last night. She said she was going to come and her husband was going to come to or whatever Mike is at this point. I don't really care. And now it's like, yeah, I'm going to speak for Britt on her behalf. And it just, it was nothing there. It was lackluster. It was stupid.

I didn't give a shit. I think Kelly got too riled up for what it was. Like, you should have just been able to sit there and be like, what? Like, Brit's not here. I'm not answering any of this. Like, I don't care. She's a bad person. She's clearly lying about everything and she can't come to even defend herself.

So why am I wasting my breath? That would have been a good response. I don't know if Andy would have liked that response. Probably not, but you know what? Andy doesn't really matter in the scheme of things for this. You said it, not me. Britt's not there. What do you want her to do?

I know. And, you know, Portia speak on her behalf was saying that, like, I think Brit implied that Kelly was jealous of her. And then Kelly's like, she has nothing that I want. It's like, that just doesn't hit because she's not. I know. And I guess Britt, this is where the alliance comes up. Yeah.

Britt said that the newbies all got together in Houston. Not Angela. And Angela was not because she's friends with Drew. Yeah. She had Drew. Angela was like, I wasn't invited. And they're like, well, you have your Chicago twin over there. It's like, oh, okay.

Yeah, that's not nice. Yeah, you should have probably invited the other newbie. So it was Kelly, Britt, and Shamedia, but Portia was part of the alliance. But then claims to not have been privy to being part of the alliance. Because she seemed very perplexed by. I don't believe. leave Britt here in saying, we all got together and our goal was to take down Porsche. I know I said earlier, it does give some merit to that because Kelly immediately jumped in.

Yeah, first episode. But to me, that's more like, let's go after somebody to make a name. Like, let's all back each other up. I don't think the goal was to take Porsche down the entire season. And that sounds like something Britt would say. It definitely sounds like something Britt would say and twist somebody's words in talking about it. because if we're to look at it, like a couple of newbies got together to try to figure out how to navigate the season, fine, you know, whatever, do your homework, whatever. But I can't imagine that they walked away from that saying, this is our plan.

We're taking down Porsche. There's enough here. I think it was more. What's going on in this group of friends? How can we infiltrate ourselves? How can we try to get ourselves and make a name for everybody? What are we going to do? And it's low-hanging fruit.

Portia stole another woman's husband. Okay, maybe we'll use that at some point. Okay, what's going on with, you know, Angela's coming in here. Let's talk about Charles or something. I don't know. Like, it just seems like they were sitting down to do their homework and Brick came away like, oh, yeah, we've got this great plan to bring down Porsche. That's what it sounds like to me.

And that would be something that she would leave that conversation with. And why she ended up turning on the alliance is she felt like she was kicked out of the alliance because of the charity thing. But if you look back at the whole season and her interactions with Kelly, Kelly was a very good friend to her. She went out of her way to try to make her feel better. She stood up for her. She paid $1,000 for an IV drip, which is insane. Is that how much those things cost?

I thought it would be like a few hundred? I've thought I think about those. We see them on Bravo shows all the time. Like you're on a bachelor party or something. You need to get right. Get back out there. IV drip for the boys You're gonna lube up the veins

$1,000, I'm not paying that shit No, not at all We're not rich though That's one of those things Where you do want a good quality one You don't want some back alley IV drip So I mean

Could be fun Could be a good time What's in it? Hey now Alright Let's go find a back alley IV drip Yeah We'll keep you guys posted

That's our show No That's when Shimea chimes in And says We did have an alliance it was Britt, me, Kelly, and Portia. And that's when Portia's like, I had no idea about this. Shamia is shocked at her saying that.

So this is more of the breakdown between these two that were really not sure exactly what has transpired in the off time. Well, then they kind of got into the whole Shamia, like how did Portia meet Simon? Then this became a big thing, but I was like, why do we give a shit? It doesn't fucking matter.

And it was all hinging on the fact that Porsche paused before she answered. Yeah. It's like, who cares? That's my big thing. Because Shimea is saying, at some point in the season, she implied or said, I introduced Portia to Simon. We saw the footage and she said it to Angela and Angela was involved.

But like, Angela has no reason to try to like excuse herself or try to actually help out Shemia. She's just like, all right, whatever. Yeah, I said it. But we saw the footage and Shemia said, yeah, I was there when she met Simon. Yeah, but that's different. Was there an implication that maybe she had introduced them or set it up in some way? Maybe, I guess. But who gives the shit?

When I hear that, to me, sounds like she was just saying I was there at the inception of these two, not I introduced these two. That's all I got from it. But again, even if she introduced, what is she now at fault because of how it landed? Like, you should have known what kind of guy Simon is. She warned her. She said, be careful. Yeah. He's a scammer.

I don't know. It's just, we can dig deeper into it if we want to, but we don't care. I don't understand what it does to the season. Nothing. Zero. Nothing. Because like, what, Shamiya introduced them, and then he did this and she warned Portia at the same time.

It's like, okay, I don't think that she would introduce her best friend to a guy that she was also going to warn about. Here's Simon. Don't date him. Yeah. Here's Simon. I think you guys would get along. really well don't marry him what like yeah i don't i just don't believe that i don't but again i don't

really care because it doesn't really matter portion she can marry who she wants to marry if she wants to do that and uh avoid all the red flags that are popping up left and right then fine that's what she's going to do and then we get to some more brit nonsense and this was awful when we heard it was at Fager's event and she brought up Kelly getting an abortion while she was married or whatever the fuck happened and which is 100% Kelly's business. It's 100%

Kelly's body. She can do whatever the fuck she wants to do. And on top of that, she's claiming it, it's not even true. She's like, after I had the twins, I had my tubes tied. So I couldn't have even gotten pregnant. So this is I trace it back to a hairdresser who was

talking about it and like, does that bring us back to Brit trying to steal Kelly's team? Was there a divide somewhere in there? Like, no, it's probably just Brip being an asshole. Yeah, and we kind of lose the plot. I mean, we lost the plot as soon as we got to this segment of the reunion. But now we're just trying to find things to talk about. We bring up the bodyguard.

And, you know, she has a bodyguard for two reasons, according to Portia. One, because of her ex is threatening to hurt her. And two, that's not true. I think she's just doing it for the show. I heard that she's just doing it for the show. And who did we hear it from? Fucking Ralph doing a basement, divorced, sad guy show? Daddy in the kitchen.

What the fuck is that? That's what his apron said, right? That's a thing? Uh-huh. First of all, how do we not know about this? Second of all, who the fuck is watching that? And third, is it him just making like hungry man microwavable dinners every night and then crying in a bottle? I do.

I mean, who's watching it, us now? I mean, I'm definitely going to check it out. We're definitely going to check it out, to be honest, because I've got a lot of questions. There's a kitchen, a fully functioning kitchen in the basement? I mean, it makes sense if he's living down there. Yes, yeah. Maybe they have that built-in, like, all right, yeah, we're going to have like a live-in area. Like an event space.

Yeah, an event space or, yeah, that would be the rich way to look at it. I was thinking like they were going to start renting out the store. Oh, like, yeah. Or like an in-law suite or some sort of thing like that. But now I got a lot more questions, so I'm going to have to check in with cooking with Daddy Ralph. I don't say that. It says Daddy in the kitchen. Don't say Daddy Ralph.

You can't tell me what to say. I mean, it's just, we've lost all the plot. You are right. It's so convoluted. And all of this is happening because we're grasping at straws to get more content because Brits not there. We would have had long-winded answers, probably a couple of arguments, probably some standing up and leaving that would have happened that would have given us the time to do

this. instead we're not doing that so we're bringing this up we're bringing ralph's sad show up yeah i don't because he ran it he ran into kelly's ex and kelly's ex was saying that she had him thrown in prison maybe yeah sounds like a bad dude sounds like he stole money and then didn't pay fucking child support yeah yeah go to jail and kelly of course you know she has to go through lawsuits because she didn't pay 100 grand in rent to the first Nana's Waffles

place, I guess, in Atlanta. And the question was, well, why didn't you pay your bills? You've got all these things going on. You're dyeing your dog's hair to pink. And she's like, well, that's necessary. Well, I had a lot of legal fees because of all this. Okay. We're not going to ask

anymore. I don't really want to ask anymore, but like we probably should have asked more questions. What are you going to ask? I don't know, but like, who's going to answer? If we're going to do, yeah, exactly. So it's just, it's messy. It was a strange way to lead off the reunion, especially after a two-week hiatus. And then we come back and it's like, all right, let's talk about the person that's not here for the whole time. You didn't make us wait for that long.

Just get right into it, right? Yeah. Talk to Portia and Shimea, figure out what the fuck's going on there. Talk to Angela and Fadra. Figure out what's going on there. What does Angela have going on? No, we're going to tease it. And I know what's going to happen.

Is it usually episode two where we get the husbands? who's always husbands and when in our experience episode two tends to pop off a little bit more than episode three is just more filler episode two's going to end with charles asking all the other women whether husbands are and then they're going to be like oh what's going to happen and episode three is going to start off with that and the husbands are going to leave with them three minutes oh yeah they may not even be there as you enter back onto the stage for episode number three but yeah we we opened the door to the angela charles of it all and obviously and i'm glad they let off with the phaedra plant yeah because i thought that was going to take us all of episode two to get there

but she has receipts which we haven't seen a manila folder in a long time yeah so we i'm glad that we have some receipts i'm happy that angela brought it out too i had high hopes for it yep and she sure did and she's playing the game of connected dots yep now here's the line in which we have gotten to Marcus entering, I can't be there still remember his name, walking into the event and saying that toast and then later coming to Angela's event. Apparently, Kimberly,

whom Fager claims to not know, is friends with Marcus, who is also friends with Fadra's brother whom they all went to high school together. Okay. And Marcus tried to, what did he try to put it on Kelly which we glossed over very fast and I'm not sure why we glossed over it so fast but we did that would have been if we started this I don't know 10 minutes prior and then we could have been like hey Kelly yeah something to do with this why was Marcus saying you first kind of like revisited it quick when Andy asked her like why are you so quick to judge Fajara when he originally tried to put it on Kelly like why are we not just immediately saying this guy's full shit right and we didn't do that because we went right back to Fadra.

Right. Because the arrows are pointing to Fadra, and I don't... And she has a past. Yeah, I don't doubt that. And I think Angela's doing a good job of standing her ground so far. We don't know. We didn't get the conclusion of it. But I think she's doing a pretty good job.

And I would believe it, too. If you have all this and you find a connection where Fager's older brother is friends with one connection away from Marcus, okay. It's fishy. That's fishy. But at least it makes sense. You know, we're kind of going down that path. We did gloss over the Kelly thing.

maybe we'll revisit it? I don't think so. I think it's done and over with. But, I mean, the question still was burning. Why are we believing this guy if he went for Kelly first and you just discredited it right away? Right. Now that's like hanging in my... Because I'm on board with all the other stuff.

I'm like, all right, these connections make sense. Fadra has a past of doing shady shit. This could be a thing. Like two degrees of separation. You do know these people in some regard. Yeah. And I do believe you're trying to stay on this show because you were off TV for a long time. Then she came back to Mary to Medicine.

And then she's making this switch over to here. I do think that she's trying to keep her spot on TV. I think that that's kind of obvious. It's an easy accusation to answer, though, because it is Fager. And she's like, well, I don't need this. I'm a full-time contract. Yeah. Okay.

Okay. Cool. That's not wrong. They did. See, this is like where, and I like Fager a lot, but they did break glass in case of emergency for Fager to come back with, even she said I was there for like 10 days. So. if you're fadre they called you back in okay here's my moment i can secure an easy contract next

year if i do enough in these 10 days it does make sense it all clicks for me i just need more evidence and i need to clear the other people that are accused such as kelly i need to hear why she didn't become a suspect yeah for me to be able to be like okay this was fadra now the audience a lot of people watching this show do believe it was fadra because of her past i think she did it I don't think that, you know, her just saying, I don't know her is enough for me, especially I like that Angela connected these dots the way she did. I'm like that. We look for evidence.

Yeah. Angela always provides good evidence. She really does. And saying, well, a lot of people went to that high school isn't enough for me. No. No. Not at all. She's, Kimberly is friends with your brother.

That's my thing. I don't know. I've never seen her in my life. I've never met him. I just don't believe. I'm not buying it. I'm not either. But I need more. And hopefully, you know, next episode we get more. And Hopefully next episode is a little bit more fluid as far as, like, people being able to answer things because they're actually present at the reunion. Right.

Like, I do think the husband's is going to be pretty solid because of Charles being involved. Ralph is there? Is Ralph there? Yeah, Ralph's there. Oh, wow. Yeah, Ralph and Dennis are both there. Interesting. So things will, and, you know, we kind of already squashed the Portia Drew thing, but Ralph and Dennis both being there will be helpful.

I guess it's just Ralph Dennis I always forget what Chamea's husband's name is Oh For whatever reason I always want to say Simon Commercial air conditioning I know I can't remember his name is though Oh shit

Look it up It's gonna drive me nuts Gerald I was gonna say I think it starts with the G Yeah so Gerald We like Gerald We like Gerald single time that there was an issue with...

This strike me as somebody who's going to be at this reunion, though. There's no confirmation yet that he was there, at least that I saw. I could see him not going. Yeah, but I always appreciated when she was away on trips. Like, if their daughter had any kind of medical thing or he was always on the face time. He wasn't the type that's like, yeah. Oh, yeah. Like, I know they, you know, they have a nanny because, like, they're very busy and, you know,

problems with the nanny. But it seems like when things happened, he's there. He's there. He's there. He's good. We facetimed him during, uh, uh doctor visit and he was asking questions he was involved so we like gerald a lot i hope he's there i don't know he doesn't really have a lot to answer for

yeah all which is a good thing uh but i would like to see him there i think the husband's moment could be usually they kind of flop in our experience so i think this one could actually be good i'm actually somewhat looking forward to episode two episode one for me was a nothing burger i think episode three is going to be the exact same which is why again this should be a two part episode episode three is usually like when you fall for the trap where episode two is very good there's things going on oh wow this is great then they ended with somewhat of a cliffhanger and that gets resolved within like two or three minutes and then it's like all right let's go through everybody's whole life what's going on is there anything you want to apologize for is there anything you want to get off your chest do you learn anything yeah did you learn anything yeah did you learn anything and then before we know the episode's over it's like oh wow just here's my question then we'll get to your questions you like that yeah yeah it's good uh oh Fuck, I forgot I was going to ask. No, no. Oh, what do we have left to talk about after we get done with Angela and Charles?

Shmi and Portia. Oh, that's episode three. Yeah. Okay. That's episode three, which, again, that's... That can't carry an entire episode. Exactly. So, with Britt not there.

Yeah, because we already did Drew and Portia. Yep. Dennis. Dennis. Kelly and Britt. Yeah. Brit's not there. Yeah, it's just Portia and Shemia.

Everything else was centered around Britt. Yep. Which, and not in a good way. We already, yeah, we already did the portion and Angela too. Yeah. Yeah, there's nothing left. It's crazy that we did all of the things that really mattered in this season within one episode. Yeah.

And they didn't mean to do that. And also. And also, it was 10 minutes of filler in the beginning. There was a lot of filler. in between and it's a tough reunion episode that really wasn't very good but let's get to some questions

let's see what you guys had to say about it first up here from a deer in the headlights did Kelly coming for Porsche seem a bit out of left field or is that just my take I think you like I had the same reaction and I the only thing I could trace it back to was that final meeting with Brit and Cynthia

and Porsche and maybe that rubbed her the wrong way after watching it or something has happened in between that and filming this reunion yeah uh from rachel ray why are we here rachel ray yeah wow why are we here love your cookbooks what why are we here we don't know we don't know we don't know we need a reunion obviously i'm not saying they shouldn't have a reunion but i yeah i don't know it's a tough way to start it does it's like i i tried my best to get invested in, and like, right after that started, I'm like, oh, boy, we're going to struggle through this one.

From K. Stokes, 829. How are they making this a three-part reunion? Oh, wow. Well, we told you. We told you we'll do two. And if we feel the need to not do three, like, we may watch the third one and then say, we're not doing this. From Coya, baby, who's the biggest liar? Portia

Shimea, Drew, or Britt? Well, Brit. You shouldn't have been good Britain there, actually. Out of the other three? Of the other three. I don't know I don't know because we don't have enough information to draw conclusions Or she's a liar but she cops to it at some point And then just says she was being shady

Which you know whatever I don't care I don't think she me is a liar I genuinely think she misremembers certain things I do too that's a good way to put it Drew but Drew's right now my favorite out of all of them So I don't know Yeah but I still stand firm even though everyone's like Just Drew lie

Drew lies a lot. Yeah. So I like Drew more after this season. I do think that she deserved to be further up on that couch than she was. And I thought she carried herself very well this year. And I thought she did a good job at this reunion. But I would, I don't know. Yeah.

A lot of people asking why is the three parts? We don't know. We said this before they filmed it. I know. From Michael E. Bow's hilarious first part. Okay. Glad you enjoyed it. I'm thrilled for you.

How do you think Porsche handled Drew? and how do you rate the episode? Two out of ten. Two out of ten. I agree with that. I think Drew handled Porsche better than Porsche handled Drew. Yeah, and if you want to chalk it up to, like, evidence to that, Porsche apologized to Drew. Yeah.

Porsche got up and walked across the room to hug Drew. I would say it's a W for Drew. Yeah. Oh, another one. From Megenia, Hala, 18. After this, I felt like we could maybe get three episodes. do you guys think that no no what did you see i mean no we're not knocking you we're not no we're thrilled that you enjoyed it i just don't know what what did you see that we didn't see

i i don't know oh i didn't i actually didn't see this from mama too little c what do you think about brit not showing up to the reunion but posted her look after it aired i didn't see that i didn't look for it that's ridiculous i don't even know writ edie i meant on yeah sorry i meant like on Instagram, but it should pop up. Brit Edy. It's great podcasting. There she has. Prit Edy Insurance agent.

Oh, that's classic. Yeah, she did. She posted her look. I see. It doesn't say when this was posted. Yeah, one day you go. Here you go. You want to look at her look?

Why the fuck would you post that? Incredibly altered image with like cool effects in the background and such. But yeah. This is on brand for what the look looks like. As I close this chapter, I want to thank everyone who supported me, my friends, my followers,

my amazing team, what team? Hey, Kelly's team. I decided to walk away from something that no longer serves me. You were there for one season because I choose peace over destroying my mental.

It's very easy to say what I should have done when most have not walked a day in my shoes. I choose me, and a lot of people can't say they choose themselves. I still have a lot of of healing left to do, but you can't heal in the same place that made you sick. I don't know

anyone in closure. I only owe myself to do what's best for me. My journey here is done, Brit. Wow. Exhausting. That is unreal. Exhaust. You're fucking kidding. We're dumb with the questions, but holy shit. An outrageous response to what we watched. You know what? That's a great way to end our episode, too. That's just fantastic. Yeah, I don't even have anything to say about that. That's baffling what the I love that she's like you can't heal in the same place

that made you sick wow you brought it there for like some of the season you know you brought it all on yourself what the fuck yeah

I mean she didn't bring the the Kenya stuff on no that was awful that was awful we said that we stood by you and you could have just you could have coasted

yeah you could have coasted you could have gotten mad at people who were supporting Kenya, which you did, but then you got through all of that and then we're a terrible person. You got mad at somebody trying to ask you how you lost your insurance license because she also has an insurance license and was curious to what happened and you attacked her at a brunch. Wow. What a person. That's, wow. Yep. That's all I got. You got anything else? Nope. No, that's our show. And pros got to go. I'm Amy Nicholson, the film critic for the LA Times.
