love to talk about. I'm Ben Mandelker. Joining me today is the wonderful and hilarious and absolute, some sure, Mr. Ronnie, Karam, hi Ronnie, how are you? Welcome back to the show. Well, hello, how are you? I am fantastic. It's Monday morning. Yeah, how are you doing? How are you? I am fantastic. It's Monday morning.

Yeah, how are you doing? How are you? Good, same thing. It's Monday morning. I feel like that's an answer in itself. It's Monday. It is. Starting, here we go.

I'm excited because we get to travel. We get to go to San Diego, which is always a gorgeous, fun time. A lot of shows being, I feel nervous because we're covering a lot of shows and then the shows are ending and I don't know, I feel so insecure around this time in Bravo. It's like, what's gonna happen?

Is this the time Bravo goes down the tubes and I have to start waiting tables? What the hell is happening? Bravo, so far I think Bravo is doing quite well, although let's circle back once once Real House was on New York starts again, because then if I don't like it, I'll be like,

Bravo's moving everything in the wrong direction. But hopefully New York will be wonderful. We're gonna have a good, optimistic attitude towards New York. Huh, deep breaths, the commercials may not be making me feel that way, but deep breaths, deep breaths. Anyway, we do speaking of our shows.

So it's June. It's June, and it is here the final leg of our tour. This Friday, we're going to San Diego, and we are recapping the season premiere of Real Housewives of Orange County. I feel like people are not realizing that Orange County is back this Wednesday. So we're going to do the premiere of Orange County in San Diego. I'm actually very excited for it because

San Diego is home to some of our favorite voices to do. You got Shan, you got Heather, you got Gina, you got Emily, Tamra's back, you got Taylor Armstrong. I'm thinking this is gonna be a pretty amazing season and we always have so much fun with it. And so it's gonna be a real delight to be doing that. Really in Arche County of Jason down in San Diego. So, yeah, so we're doing it there. We did it last time too. Some of you are pointing out, pointing it out in San Diego. And listen, Vanderpump Rules, first off,

I just love doing a live show that we really enjoy doing all the impersonations and stuff, and it's not that we don't enjoy Vanderpump rules. Honestly, I'm fucking stressed. I'm about to have a nervous breakdown. The show's been going on so long. It's so much vitriol, and this last recap is the big secret. It's the big reveal.

We need three hours to recap this. I don't want to be rushing it at a live show. I don't want to be, I don't want it that. I want to be pissed and screaming the hell for four hours if we have to. It'll probably be a two-parter. So we chose Orange County on purpose because it's so fun.

It's one of our favorites to do. So we're super excited to do it and excited to see you guys over there. It's San Diego. Yeah, it's gonna be wonderful. And then after San Diego, I guess God is it next week already? That we're gonna be going, we have our Midwest section where we go to St. Paul,

and Chicago, and Columbus. And then the week after that, it's Boston, and then Foxwood's Grand Finale and Foxwood's, that's gonna be amazing. Like, I'm gonna party after that show. I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get wasted in Foxwood's everyone, and I'm gonna put down, I'm gonna be a big spender and after the show, I'm gonna put down $5 on the crap table.

So everyone watch out. There could be a round of cocktails on me. You never know. Depending on how that $5 fairs. There's an asterisk on that. Anyway, go to watchacrapans.com to get your tickets. Also, hello to everyone watching us on video. We're on video.

We're doing video all over the place these days. If you want to have early access to our video, go to patreon.com slash watch or crap ends and support it on the crap ends on demand level and get access to all these videos, the moment that we release them and you have a week's access, early access and then they are free to everyone on YouTube. We're all about trying to make as much content as possible and as much that you guys can consume and enjoy. So that is going to be that's on Patreon.

And of course, we have our bonus episodes. And last thing I really do want to mention because I feel like sometimes it gets a little bit lost in the shuffle. I really want to encourage people to go listen to our Dweller Hello episodes on Wondry Plus because we have so much fun doing them. And the most recent one that we did last week was actually such a crazy house under as international that I really do think that people should tune in and listen. If only to like go then watch the show that we covered. So that's on 1D+. So go to 1D or you can

even subscribe on Apple Podcast. So that was my, I just wanted to give a special shout out to Dwell Hello because it's, it's a delight. It really is. It really is. That's it. Now let's start with some bad news. Okay. Well, we started with some good news. So now let's bring in the bad news. Codman locked me released a statement. I just sent it to you, bad in case you need it. She just released a statement that she is leaving top chef. Not okay. You did this during Pride Month and that's homophobic. I'm just gonna thank you. You're a homophob, okay?

This is unfair that you're doing. We said last week when people do shit like this during Pride Month, this is an offense to the gaze. Who do you think supported you in your bikini with a fur vest in your first episode ever. The gaze. I know. You know, and one thing about all this is, oh!

Oh, wait, there's a breaking news, Ron, a breaking news. Looks like Miss Padma Lockshmi is stepping to the podium to address the audience. All right. Oh, well, that's I'd like to see. Yeah. Padma, Padma, Padma, Padma, Padma, Padma, Padma. I'd like to start with the blonde lady over there in the back.

Go ahead, please. Whoa. Padma lacks me. One of New York's finest dentists and I can't believe you're leaving your show. How could you do this to me? How could you do this to all of us? Okay? You know, here's the thing, as one ageless beauty to another, I feel like it's your obligation to stay on bravo. It's for as long as possible. Okay?

Yeah, you know what? I don't even know why. I like you so much because his name is Laksmi and Jewish people so mean to me in college. Okay. That's it. That's it. That's it. Okay. Hey, bad repaid, my bad repaid, my bad repaid, my bad repaid, my bad repaid. Yes.

Yes. Question from non-famous reporter with the frumpy jacket in the back. Thank you. Hello. How dare you call this jacket frumpy. I was just wondering, did you leave this show because people on it were too poor? Yes or no? Just give us a yes or no.

Love for sale! Wow, thank you very much, strange lady with big head. You know, the reason why I had to leave this show was not because there were too many poor people. I actually grew to enjoy their very special stench. It was more that I always felt like there was certain places in this world that were meant for wealthy and famous people like Paris. And then once Sarah got there, I thought, I don't know, maybe it's time to move on to a different echelon. When you look around the city and you realize, wow, the serras are here,

you know it's over. Sorry, Paris, you're done now. Goodbye. Everyone, instead of answering more questions from a bunch of people, I really don't recognize from Netflix. I just like to read a statement after so much soul-searching. I've made the difficult decision to leave my post-watching gal binge-eating and terrible patterns on top chef. Having completed a glorious 20th season as host and executive producer and most famous person here and professional hamburger eater on a Carl's junior commercial, I am extremely proud to have been part of building such a successful show and of the impact it has had in the worlds of television and food and in Gales' case, the dress barn. After 17 years, many of the cast and crew were like family to me and I will miss working

alongside of them dearly. The camera people, Tom, Nilu, my dear friend Alie Wong who would come by on occasion, all of the celebrities. I think the the thing I really won't miss are the cancels kicking me softly under the table. Every time I haven't let her finish chewing before she gets to make one of her insipid silly judgment that no one's here to listen to. You know, and it is such a special experience to work with people that you consider family. Special family members, family members whose names you never got to learn because they were too dirty.

Family members who never got to be friends with people such as Ali Wong or Lena Weith or even my good friend, former Chancellor, Al- chancellor, Archelle America. Family members like that. I feel like it's time to move on. I need to make space for, well, Gail for one. Honestly, she's growing at the rate of a, a snail farm. And two, my television show Tastes the Nation, which you might remember from a few Instagram posts ago, got more Emmy-nominated, critics choice of words nominations, Emmy nominations, and even Oscar nominations than this show, top chef that I'm talking about.

And if you haven't seen Taste the Nation, it's because you have no taste. So please get some. Because Taste the Nation is a show where I go around different cities of America and I ask them where they stole their cultural food from. For example, the burrito. Where did America steal the burrito from? Hmm. Taste the nation is a very special program to me as it airs on HALU. And unfortunately, it sometimes gets confused with my dear friend Gail Simmons, who felt pilot called, I ate the entire nation and there's nothing left. Anywho, if you tune into TASNATION, you get to hear me ask certain questions like,

what is CHAPS SURI? Or what's a hot dog? Or do you put ketchup on that? It's really a blast. I'm deeply thankful to so many of you for so many years of love and support. Almost as deep as a dish that Gail used as to eat her mac and cheese out of. Thank you. Sincerely, pat my Lakshmi. Tom, would you like to say something before I go?

I would just like to say one thing. What? What? You know, uh, I know one, and uh, what it comes to hosting TV shows. You know, there's a lot of great days to have your bad days, and there's a lot of great hosts out there, and we're all doing great host work, and today, the person going home is simply the person who, person who hosted the worst show. Home-up?

Me. What about? Please pack your knives and go. Not okay. Not okay. Literally not. Like I like doing no what to do. This is a travesty that I am angry.

And people think that we hate Padma and like I literally love Padma and people think that like we, like I, she actually is great at her job and she's also like everything that we make fun of her for is literally the exact opposite of what she stands for. So I also just like that she is there on our TV for all the good things that she does.

And I'm just like really upset. I'm not easily- You're not surprised right now. What are you doing? Licking up a pass-mop and down, okay? Because I love Padma. She just quit, she just quit on us during gay pride. Fuck that.

There's another time to kiss her ass. And right now is not it. I will not be on your being nice to Padma train. Everything we say she stands for, she does stand for, okay? Well, I'm just like a, I'm a Padma fanboy. Thonboy. As a fanboy.

You're a Padma. I'm a Padma. I've always been a fanboy, despite what our jokes would imply. I'm like obsessed with her, and I'm really upset that she's leaving. I'm really, really, how could you do this to us question mark

as you wrote on her posts? Yeah, well, that's the end of an era. Okay, so let's get to it because this is not a top chef, free cap. We're not recapping that this week because there are a million things to recap. So we'll be here for the season finale, I assume, we'll have an estimate.

Well, season finale is the week. Yeah, so I assume we're gonna be doing that next week at some point. But for now, guys, we've taken 15 minutes to get into it. Let's get into real housewives of Atlanta. Wow, Atlanta. Yeah. Hunter. Yeah. One of the shows on Bravo, you actually just don't have to show up to work for nobody come to work today. It's okay. Hey, listen, we've got Courtney here. Okay, we've got

cousin Courtney here. That's really all we need. Hey, you know what? No one bother coming in today. We've got fucking, uh, man, yeah, okay. Oh, yeah, man, yeah, man, yeah, enough in a high at place. Okay. Mon, yeah, it's in a high at place. Sort of getting angry, getting angry. Oh, don't worry. We have lots of graphic overlays we can use to stretch the time, get some content out of this episode. Okay, Atlanta, this happened last season too. We're last season to start it and I was like,

yeah, I think this season has promised and then they went on their New York trip, which was God awful. And it kind of like killed the momentum for me. And this season too, I was like, okay, okay, and I'm like, oh no, this season's done. Sorry, sorry to be negative Nancy. And you know what, I will always hold out hope

that it can turn itself around. And it could, you never know. But honestly, this castrip was ridiculous. They went to Birmingham. The idea was they were going to Birmingham because Kenya was gonna be performing half time at the big football game, coach football game, and then everything went to hell, but like it didn't really...

My issue is that it went to hell and I didn't understand really what was going on. It was something very incoherent. It felt incoherent to you. I don't think anybody knew what was going on. So basically last week, we didn't cover last week, but Kenya has all the ladies together to do like sexy dancing to do this show for Kenya more hair care. And she brought up Bravo Con, which I thought was really interesting and what a mess that was. And if it makes you feel any better, everyone was a mess at Bravo Con in that singing portion

where everybody came out, although housewives with singles came out singing, they were all fucking terrible. Not a one was good. Even Candace, and Candace is actually good. For the most part, I think Candace is actually talented. But even she, Candace is like, I'm not singing to track. I'm singing as Candace. And I was like, well, big mistake.

No one came off well in that. But I thought it was interesting that it traumatized Kenya, because it means we have something in common. It traumatized me so it was a traumatizing moment. But they brought that up and so now we know that she's nervous and so we're coming into this like to see Kenya's big show, like what's Kenya gonna do with this half-time show? I can't wait to see a pull it off, darling.

Right. And then she's like, I don't feel good. And then it was over, it was like feel good. And then it was over. It was like the end. Yeah. But what was weird was that, so at the end of last episode, it was kind of funny because they went to a janky charity thing and then they got kicked out of it.

And they were like, what the hell? And they go back to the hotel and Kenya's like, OK, I'm going to go up to my bedroom. And it was like 9.30. And they're all sitting around the lobby and they get upset that Kenya went to bed. And it's all edited pretty quickly and so are they upset?

Like you get the feeling that reading between the lines, they're upset that they're still shooting but Kenya has gone to bed and they feel like that's unfair. Like that's reading between the lines to get that sense. But that's not actually like the narrative of the actual show is a little unclear. They're just like she should be down here. I feel like something else is going on. Like whatever that means. What does that mean? Oh, I feel like something's going on. It narratively doesn't make sense. They go upstairs. They bang on her door, which is kind of funny. And also

they're like being crazy. They're like kicking her door. Can you pull the door open and just scream at them? Like, what the hell is going on with you? And Marley keeps saying, summer, summer, summer, because she's concocted an inside joke with herself that winter is coming, then she's winter and that Kenya summer or some, I don't know. What? Wasn't that at the end of the last episode? She said, some winter is coming for summer, right? I don't know, I don't remember that. I'm glad you told me because I totally missed that whole thing. Well, that just goes to show how narratively tenuous this all is.

It doesn't really make sense why they all went up there, except if you read between the lines that they were mad, that they were all still shooting and she wasn't. But like a housewife show should not have to force you to read between the lines and be able to follow it. Well, there are a couple of things. I think when Kenya was all over Sonia last year about not paying attention to them in their show in her trip and letting them all just not feel like they knew what was happening. And then Kenya, of course, is doing the exact same

thing in this. Also, Kenya was keeping her big appearance at the football game or whatever. It's a football game, right? Yeah, it was a magic city classic, I think. So she was keeping that a secret. So nobody knew why they were dragged down to Birmingham on the first place. Right. And so then they got mad.

And yeah, I think it was about it being unfair that they all had to shoot. And can you just go to bed, but can you did bring her daughter, but then Marlos screaming, get your fucking out, ask out your put Brooklyn in another room then put her in another room then and she's taking the door and we see Sheree like comment give the door one kick and then run away. So she's not she's gonna try and tonight later but canya gets

really pissed and starts screaming you fucking asshole and they're like you guys she said her daughters in there So this is where we open right yeah Marlos y'all I get it doesn't mean who cares? That's bullshit and Kenya's like what is wrong with you? You stupid how and She raised like if you could just come with us. We just want to ask you a couple of questions. Just come with us Like no, are you the police like who does that? Oh? A couple of questions, just come with us. Like, no, are you the police? Like, who does that?

Excuse me. Do you mind if we ask you a couple of, we can do this downtown. We can do this downtown if you prefer. Or down in the hotel lobby, cocktails until 9 p.m. And then Marlowe's like, whoa, the fuck are you stopping? Just respectful with your broadcast.

And you're like, I'm calling the fucking police if you knock on my goddamn door again. Reverse, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Also, fuck you guys. Besides Kenya. I'm telling the fucking believe that you knock on my goddamn door again. Reverse ha ha ha! Reverse ha ha! Also, fuck you guys. Besides Kenya, who I love torturing Kenya. Listen, I love a good Kenya torture. I'm not beyond that. But this is a hotel. How dare you. What are you kicking and screaming on the door? I would have had to knock on the door. I would have had to knock on the door. I would have opened the. I started throwing peanut M&M's one by one at their heads. Well, I would have until I realized it was the cast of

Real House of Atlanta, which case I'd be like, oh my god, oh my god. Then we would have run up and started kicking the door. I would be like, I'll join guys. I'll be a friend of. We will.

Zipper Cruder, the smartest way to hire. I'm going to say something scandalous, Ronny. Go on. Plants are meat. And not only are they meat, they're delicious,

especially if they're from impossible foods. They taste like beef. Exactly. Impossible is making meat history this summer. Yeah, they are. Summer of Impossible. I am so excited to be spending time, cooking my summer foods, all that good stuff,

and guess what, we can use impossible sausages, impossible brats. I mean, it's gonna be a great summer for impossible foods. Impossible beef is made from plants and 19 grams of protein per serving, and it's better for the planet. And it's meat. Plant meat.

Correct. So if you're looking for something to grab for your grill, grab some impossible beef. Summer of impossible. Start making meat history today. Just head over to the meat aisle at your local grocery store, grab some impossible beef or patties and get grilling. Commercial.

So Sheree is like, suddenly they decided to walk away. And Sheree is like, I'm confused on the summer thing. What's the summer? Why summer? And then Marlowe is like, can you summer more? She's like, huh, well, I mean, this is what this young lady does all the time. I mean, this old young lady. I mean, she brings you somewhere, she walks, and then she does what she whatever she wants, walks all over you. So I was like, oh, is that what this is about? Like, was there an issue where they didn't want it to be doing something else? And then Kenya said, no, I got to go up the hotel room, like a narrative, like, I'm going to harp on this point

several times, because narratively it didn't make sense. And like, I feel like the reason I'm going to be in a big harp space right now is because I do feel like this show is struggling. And this is a great example of why it's struggling. Well, I think she wants to fight with Candy, right? Because she wants to still make her nephews death somehow Candy's fault. Right. And I would be lying if I didn't say,

well, that's my blood nephew. A few times a week, just because she said it so many times last week and I was like, what's your point? Like, what does it have to do with anything here, ma'am? So she's trying to make that a storyline with Candy. Candy's not here, because she's at the essence awards. Okay, so then she's trying to make a fight with Kenya. And Kenya goes to bed early,

so she's not gonna be able to fight with Kenya. So now she's left with all these extras, and she's like, what am I supposed to do with these people? So now she starts fighting with Moneda for no reason. So she's like, okay, well, I know that's your friend, Monietta, but that's not cool. So I'm gonna go have some steak, and you guys can sit here and knock

and click-clack all you want. And I just wrote, what a sad fucking group. So nobody in production, nobody in production took one moment to look at this footage and say, we've got Sonya, Courtney, Saray, and Monietta, We just heard that they are putting Jersey on pause for months because they're trying to figure that out. We just heard they're putting Vanderpump rules on pause for months to try and figure that out. Everything is putting on pause when it's a mess, except this show. Why do you keep the bus running on this show? We just heard that they're putting Jersey on pause for months because they're putting the bus running on this show.

We just heard that they're putting Jersey on pause for months because they're trying to figure that out. We just heard they're putting Vanderpump rules on pause for months to try and figure that out. Everything is putting on pause when it to try and figure that out. Everything is winning on pause when it's a mess, except this show. Why do you keep the bus running on this show? This is off, you can't have Courtney and Monietta leading a show, you can't do it.

You definitely not Monietta. I don't know why they brought Monietta back. I'm sorry, Courtney has some upside and really just, because she sounds like a wicked witch, so I'm like entertained by that. But like, she has some upside, Mannyetta does not, but I agree. It's like, why?

I mean, New York, they just cleaned house after one, like, okay, season, like some work. Some people didn't think it was a very good season, but like not nearly as bad as any of these seasons. And they just cleaned house with that. But this show, it's like over and over and over again. And they got a, I mean, I think they got a get rid of the big stars on this show, believe it or not.

People keep on saying on Twitter, like, bring Neenie back. Bring Neenie back. Obviously, Neenie was like one of a kind, iconic, amazing, and wonderful for the first half of her run, I would say. But then she really became like, she became a lunatic and she became really difficult to watch an unpleasant watch because her ego really got so big.

I don't think Neenie is necessarily the answer. I'm not opposed to it. I'm open to whatever, but I think that Kenya and Candy, they gotta go, I think Porsche has to stay gone too. By the way, people at Greenback Porsche, I think it's the one to where two and a Porsche has to stay gone too. By the way, people that bring back Porsche, I think it's the ones who are too, that have become such big stars. It forces us into relitigating old shit.

This isn't about the old history. History is history, it's done, okay? What are you gonna bring George Washington back? Like, it's done, it's history for a reason, it's over, okay? Look at the dollar bill. I don't think we need to like relitigate and bring people back and talk about why they were gone And if they deserve it, no, we need to just start with what you have if you're in an office and people aren't showing up to work

Consistently drew is not showing up to work at all this season. I don't know where the fuck she is Candy has other obligations. I get that she's got to be somewhere, but shoot it I mean should they're not even gonna it. Okay. Then you've got Kenya, who's calling in sick yet again. She called in sick with the flu last season. Am I, am I believing this? I believe this for two seconds. She's like a typical faker. She's like a little kid holding her temperature, her thermometer up to the light show up to work. If people aren't even going to show up to work, don't bother me with your show. If you're not gonna bother your cast with your show. Kenya is one of the greatest villains in Bravo.

Like she does the villain thing better than almost any single person, but she hasn't been doing it. She's actually, but just been doing, like she's actually almost gone in a weird way to her pageant space again. Like sort of like misperfect. She's got, you know, she's the mother, she's all about sort of trying to do a prim and proper thing.

I wonder if like actually Kenya is uncomfortable, or Kenya does not work well if she is the sole alpha. I almost think she needs another alpha, like a real alpha or a real star big star that she can be jealous of, because now that there is no Porsche and there is no Nini, Kenya sort of is trying to be this,

like a different person in a way that's not very entertaining or interesting. So like her greatest skill set's going unused. So Kenya has to go in my mind also until she stops self-protection. I think Kenya's just bored. I think she's just completely bored. I think she doesn't want to be there and it's obvious.

So, look, I know that people listen, if you're going to listen to a recap of Real Housewives of Atlanta, you're generally a fan. So you want to listen to something that's being called and we know that. We have these talks beforehand. Like, you know, we don't want to just like come shit all over a show and we're covering.

It helps us if we all like the shows and we're all here because we want to be here. And I still like the show. It's not that I don't want to cover it or anything like that. It's just that, come on, dude. Like you guys have to like stop this because it's, they're afraid of this, of stopping this train and it's, you're not taking care of problems that have been there for too long. Can you has been checked out for too long? Candy has been doing the same shit for too? These people are checked out as time to retire them.

And then when you're bringing on new people that clearly are not working, why are you giving Marlow another season? People hated her ass last year. She's trying too hard. She's bringing too much negativity to it. And here you go giving her another year. Sonia, nice person.

Seems great. Boring as hell. She was last year. Why would you, what are you doing? What do you do? Stop the car. Stop the car. I don't mind Marlow as much as other people,

but I do think that she is. But we can't not mind them. It's not that we have to be like, don't want to. We have to be laughing. This is Atlanta. This is the best house we have. But we don't, we need to do more than just laugh.

We need to actually have storylines. And I feel like you can see in this episode, you can see them just trying to make anything happen. They're throwing everything at the wall. They are relying so heavily on little graphical things, and little funny moments, and little bits, and whatever. And this is not unlike season nine of Vannecron Bruegel's, where every episode, it would stop,

and there would be some sort of cartoony thing, or some joky visual presentation in the middle of the episode, because was like, it would stop and there would be some sort of like, cartoony thing or like some joky visual presentation in the middle of the episode because they had nothing to work with. So they're just trying to make something happen in post. And like honestly, it's so rare that those things actually hit. Like I can think of a few times. Like the drawing of Wondixen's mistress was like,

that was a great example of when doing something silly in post-production works, but honestly, beyond that, it's all just kind of like, oh, you guys are out of ideas for this show. There's nothing going on. So anyway. Basically, yeah, I mean, what are you going to do? This fix it because I wanted to be fixed. Like, we're pitching not because it's like hopeless, and we want to quit it.

We're pitching because it's like, we love this show. This is Bravo's Crown Jewel. It was for years and years. Fix the show. I want the show to be good again. I love this show. Yeah. Focus on the show. So we go to back to this fight, basically.

So now Marlow has decided she's going to come from Agnieta, right? So now she's like, you friend blah, blah, blah. And Agnietta is like, well, I'm not here for her being on Kenya's door. I mean, Kenya has left me out here to defend myself with these wolves. So now they're on the elevator. And Marlow's going off now about Kenya's child wearing.

And she's like, what you teach your child is the example. And she's older than me. I'm not the example. And what I am the example for is when it comes to disrespect. Marla's not even making sense. She's just spouting out the mouth to do something, you know. Yeah, she's just trying to get a reaction. So that way, then the reaction will create some sort of drama

and then that drama can create a storyline that goes forward. But which is really not how these shows should be. The storyline should come from something innate and real. So then Manieta is like, well, family is everything. And Marlowe says, well, they can't just stay home with their family. And so now Marlowe's getting mad at Manieta. It seems like it, but it's sort of hard to tell. We're in this cramped elevator.

There's just people are up. They're talking over each other and fighting kind of, of but Moneda's trying to do it in a way that's like In argument not a fight basically, but you're not gonna be able to deal that with Marlow, right? So They come out of the elevator and then Marlow just keeps going goodbye Good bye. Good bye. Save it for Kenya. Okay, and she's dressed like a snake, which I think is really funny. It's like at least she knows her role on this show. So then she goes through, she goes from the elevator through some weird storage room looking thing into the lobby, which is why I'm calling this place the high at place because whenever we've stayed in the high place, like sometimes you're walking through the little section where they sell the snickers in case you come home late. And then you're like,

charges to my room or whatever. They're walking through that, trying to be in this glamorous show. So they walk through there. Yeah. And she does like close the door behind her, which of course hits Manietta, which was the point. And so Manietta is like,

did you just slam the door in my face? And she's like, you're not going to disrespect me. And then she's like, I think the door just failed. I think the door failed. The door literally functioned as it was designed. like you're not gonna disrespect me. And then Shri is like, I think the door just failed. I think the door failed. The door literally functioned as it was designed. Like if you slam it, it will slam shut. That is what a door does. And when I was like, did you slam it in my face?

Did you slam it? And we're all like, well, I might have tried to slam it, but that door was heavy, which I don't, I'm like, I can't put it for a long time. I'm like, they show it later. Door gate. See, literally pushes it on her I can't put it for a night. She's snatched it in the barc on later. They show it later. They doorgate. She literally pushes it on her. Like, she does it on her face.

So yes, you did. You fucking liar. Not that I'm shocked. So then we have to find out what all the ladies think. Sonia, what do you think? Did she slam it? She's like, for my vantage point, she slam it. Mannyeta, what do you think?

Well, Mannyeta says, the only person I let slam doors on me is Jesus. Leave Jesus out of this. Hit a Jesus slam door. The man was known for leaving doors open. He was born in a barn. Okay. What do you talk about Jesus slamming doors on you? What? I'm Jewish and even I know Jesus doesn't do that.

Like, that's literally the most un-Jesus-y thing to do. It's a slam door. That's somewhat. So now they're trying to do this fight thing in the high-up place lobby. And Munnye does finger waving her finger, like trying to say something, but Marlo won't let her speak.

And Marlo's like, I will walk a dog on that bitch. So I think it's funny. And then Marlo orders a drink. She's, some guy passes by with luggage. I'm like, I'm gonna have a drink with some pineapple. Yeah. And so then Marlow just yells,

you're talking about me again. Bye bye, you're boring. So now she leaves a hotel, but has nowhere to go, so she just stands on the street corner. Yeah, and Manietta's like, I'm not following her, I'm, you know, like I'm classy,

she's a hot mess. And I was like, well, she's got another dog about a fire leave. And Manietta is like all angry. And she's like, did she want to go back to jail? That's all she does. I'm like, manietta, like she's trying. She's like trying to, to like sort of have a moment.

But like this is the worst she can do is be like, did she want to go back to jail? Whereas next week we see the previews, where I think it's ganty says something. Like how about she goes back to slashing people's faces? Like see, that's how you do it. Not like, did she want to go back to jail? Listen, Marlow's upset,

and she went to stand on a street corner. Okay, sometimes you've just got to go back to your roots. So I say good for you. Taking your time. Remember the old days. So Marlow is outside standing in the window, looking at her reflection, pulling her panties out of her koochi. While tourists are standing next to her watching her and laughing. And she's talking to no one.

She's like, she's got nothing to talk about if I leave. That's what she's got. And so then inside Manietta, she's like, she closed the, my face with force. And Marlo is now staring at the front desk for whatever reason. And then she goes, where's my food? I'm going to have to call the lady at the front desk for my food. I'm hungry. Still standing on the corner. So Courtney comes outside and she's like, Marlo, breathe, Marlo, you've got to breathe, Marlo, for the sake of this group. Okay, we are the only people who showed up to work today, Mar-Low. Yeah, well, and also, you know what, that bitch opened the door, looking like a damn demon possessed her, bitch, you're crazy.

And then they show like a flashback of Kenya opened the door, but they put like, like demon eyes on her again, like kind of stretching the content, trying to make something happen here. So then the waiter comes outside. I have to say, good service at this hotel, because I don't even know who knows if you're even allowed to have an open cocktail on the sidewalk, but he comes outside. This is Birmingham. Birmingham does not give a fuck, okay.

The bartender's just going to move the bar outside, he doesn't care. He's like, here's your drink, my love. He's like, thank you. Thank you very much. So then inside, Manietta is on the phone with Kenya. And she's like, girl, this girl is crazy. And Kenya's like, I already told you that, which is why I rolled my eyes at you.

And the girl is a snake. She cannot be trusted. Ha, ha, ha. I'm on Yada's like, I'm done with this. And Manietta, Kenya's like like but you fall for it every time And she says I don't fall for anything my super power is having kindness wrong Super power is being on the wrong show. That's your superpower Your superpower is taking up space on our TV. Yeah, that's a wrong show for you, ma'am. So then

Kenya is asking, so now she's on speaker phone, right? So she's like, why are you guys knocking on my door and pounding on my door? You know my kid's sleeping. And Shere is like, um, that banging was not done by me. And then we see less than 10 minutes ago outside in the hallway. Shere doing her kick on the door. And Kenya's just like, listen, I don't want those girls around. Okay, I just want whoever's not my core group of friends, they can all go home. Okay, sounds great, Kenya.

You're talking from your bed. You know what I mean? If you're not gonna show up to set, you can't tell other people not to show up to set either. You have to at least be on the set to tell people they can't I love to the set. Yeah, and this sort of gets to one of the problems that this show has been having over past few years

when it comes to these sort of like mini or early season vacations is that there is so much self-producing, you know, of like not deciding not to shoot or taking people off the trip. Like this happens all the time. I think of also when they went to New Orleans, which I guess was a late season trip, and Porsche just went home a day early because she just didn't want to be around it anymore. And this is like, you look at other shows, the younger shows,

especially where they're just so excited to be on Bravo, and no matter how tough or annoying the situation is, they not only shop to work, but they don't make other people go home or they don't try to get, they don't try to control who is shooting a scene. Whereas on this show, it happens a lot. Like Kenya, Porsche's gone, but when Porsche was here, Porsche did a lot too. Like this really bothers me. It upsets me. Like you stay with it and like just deal with the mess. Because we're here for the mess. So Sonia is listening to all this speaker phone stuff. So she asked for the phone and she's like, Kenya, would you just tell me what's going on?

Like, what are we doing here? And she goes, you know what, Sonya, don't come back, it's okay, it's okay, Sonya, just don't come back. It's like, okay, so Sonya is now like, fuck off then. So she's like, I've worked. I don't know if you know this, but I'm the second cast member with a full eye calvac season.

So I have some scenes to shoot about how busy I am. So I'm gonna make all the stairs and do that. I'll be upstairs reading my Ical. Thanks. I'm very busy, okay, because I have a job reporting for NBCU96 channel 45 on the NBC Sports Track and Field Channel. That's available in three homes in this country, okay? I've got a very important job right now.

So she's like, okay, bye. But we also during this, we hear that, like with the crux of what they're all upset about, is that they don't know what they're here for this weekend, I guess, and they're confused. They're like, are we really just, do we just come down to Birmingham for a football game? And so in my mind, Ronnie, like, I think that's good enough. They're confused, are we really just, do we just come down to Birmingham for a football game?

And so in my mind, Ronnie, like, I think that's good enough. Like, I don't see what's wrong with it. Like if someone says, in real life, someone says, hey, I wanna go down to this big game in Birmingham, will you guys come with me? It'll be like a girls trip. That theoretically is like enough for a trip, right?

It's like you're gonna go down to Birmingham, have some fun and go to charity event, next night go to big football game, and then we'll go home. But they're also suspicious to like, is this really it? That I think it's so weird that they are so suspicious right now, and I think they, again, it requires some like reading between the lines

of that I think they are worried that there's gonna be some sort of ambush or a setup or something, and they know that production wise, there's something else is going of ambush or a setup or something and they are they know that Production-wise there's something else is going on and they want to get to the bottom of that But they can't say that on camera and again that's where this entire like trip in this episode It's sort of incoherent because really the thing that they're upset about seems like it's related to production and not related to anything That's pertains to a storyline on camera I think they're pissed because Kenya is taking up one of the trips of the season for herself.

It's like a trip thing. Kenya is doing it and then she doesn't do anything that you're supposed to do when you're hosting a trip. You're supposed to plan an event. You're supposed to plan dinners. You're supposed to plan all this stuff. And when you don't do it right, people judge you on it. And so she's come to this trip.

She's dragged them all to a party they got kicked out of. They don't even know why they're at this party and why they wouldn't be welcome to shoot there. It's weird. And then can you go to bed early without having anything to do for them? And they have to shoot on her trip that she dragged them all to and make plans and they can't just make plans to go somewhere in prompt to you. You have to get forms filled out. You have to, you know, all the stuff is planned way in advance. It's a good point. It's a good point.

The person production crew waiting to shoot you somewhere. So the crew is making them shoot and they have no word to shoot and Kenny is just like, bye, I'm done with you people. I don't have to do anything when she's probably making more than anybody, but Candy on that show. You've got everybody else showing up for $5. I mean, I don't blame them for being pissed, you know?

And I'm sorry you have a child. Waaah! Get a fucking amy for your kid. What the fuck are you doing, dude? I think you're right. I think you're a dog at work day. Get an amy. I think you're right.

I think it's all good but, but the point is that still ultimately, their frustration is with something pertaining to production. And that's just like, that's such a meta thing, and it's also just not compelling. It's not compelling to watch people be upset with the logistics of how their show, their on is panning out.

Like, who cares about how things are going with production? But they're trying to make it seem like it's something more than that, and it's just like, there's no story. The only story is like how like they are interacting with being presented on TV for the alleged story that we don't even have. So then Marlow immediately starts her,

oh my God, I can't believe they made me so angry. I let them do this and I'm a good person. So Marlow, Marlow is the quickest switcher between asshole and victim. And here she goes. Now they've done this to her and made her embarrass herself in this hotel. And da-la-la. So she's starting that.

And Courtney's trying to do her best friend kiss ass thing and stick by Marlo, even though Marlo is clearly in the wrong, right? Yeah. So Marlo is like, I just texted her, you're a rude selfish motherfucker, see how, see how you rude bitch. And then Sheree is inside and Monietta is like, well, I'll tell you this much, I'm not afraid of confrontation.

I was like, well, you're also really bad at it. Yeah, and it, yeah, you're doing it in a very uninteresting way. And then meanwhile Sheree is asking Kenya, so every, listen, everyone's saying, are we just here for the big game? But I feel like it's more than that, Kenya. And she's like, huh, fine. I'm performing it half time. It's still a big game, though. And Shreys, like, well, Kenya, that's all you had to say. I mean, fuck the game. We're here to see you. Which is, well, I just want to do all to be shocked. And this is like a once in a lifetime opportunity. Ha ha.

So, let's see. So then we're trying to get everybody together, right? And when you're just like, you know, I'm gonna snap. I'm about to snap. And I have never snapped in my life. I was like, didn't you just say you have no problem bringing confrontations and snapping? Basically. She's like, didn't you just say you have no problem bringing confrontations and snapping? Basically.

She's like, I'm gonna snap and I'm going to write a very angry letter in my journal and keep it for myself. And I'll always remember this moment. Wow. Watch out about to write a thank you card and not sign it with my clicker free me. I'm going with blossom letters. Blah.

And no underlining nor a smiley face afterwards. It's time for commercial. It's time for a crap and commercial. So then, caddy is still on the phone. And so Courtney sits down and Marlow sits down and Marlow's like, Monietta is like, listen, I'm not a killer. I'm the Monietta says that I'm sorry. I'm not a killer, but don't push me, Marlow. And Marlow just starts laughing loudly.

She's like, ah, ah, ah, ah. So Sonia comes down with her bags and um, Manieta holds a phone in her face basically and Kenya is like, um, who is speaking please? That was my favorite thing that Kenya did. And she's like, Sonia and she's like, oh my God, you don't know my voice. Come on. So she just walks off. And she's like, we don't even know what's happening on this trip. Fuck this. And she's like, oh, she told me she's like, oh my God, you don't know my voice, come on. So she just walks off.

And she's like, we don't even know what's happening on this trip, fuck this. And she's like, oh, she told me she's going to perform at the halftime. And that's major. And Marlow tells us, girl, Kenya was trying to go from Keyoncé to Krayana. And she's nowhere near as talented.

Did you see her bravo performance? And then we see another clip of it, which is just productions way of being like, hey, you don't want to show up for work again. Okay, every time you don't come downstairs, we're going to show your Bravo Con clip for five minutes. Pretty much. And so then, just dropping on the floor, rolling all over, just like falling.

It was less of a drop than just like a fall. So, and Manieta, like what Marlow's based like, Manieta kisses more ass than Kenny eats. Ah! So then Sonja leaves and it's the end of the evening and now it's the next morning. Drew emerges from the hospital and she's like, this is like her big scene.

She's like having the flu sucks. I spent the whole day from the hospital and she's like, this is like her big scene. She's like, having the flu sucks, I spent the whole day in the hospital because I had just been running rapid, not running ragged, running rapid in a studio and dance rehearsals, you know, making that music that LeBron James just loves to listen to you before his warm-ups, I mean, during his warm-ups, just anytime, really.

It just runs me rapid. I thought she said, I've been running rampant. Like, I'm running rampant in the studio, and any time, really. It just runs me rapid. I thought she said, I've been running rampant. Like, I'm running rampant in the studio, and I was like, wow, I love that. You're just going nuts in the studio, going from room to room. What's going on with that, lady?

Drew, if you can't record a couple of songs and go to dance rehearsals, guess what? You're not a singer. Okay. If you have to go to the hospital from a her soul and you have one song, you've chosen the wrong career. Okay. Bye. So now she's just going to go home and spend time with the girls. You know, she just had to get her flute checked out. So now we go over to the candy factory and Todd's on the phone with his co-producer Reese and he's like, yeah, movie script, script

and writing and Oscars, etc. And so Candy walks in and Candy is like, all right, well, it's Todd Tucker time, Todd Tucker TV time. You might have noticed on your iCloud live slated from 110 to 107 and your minutes have already begun Todd, so get off the phone. Yeah, it's another, oh my God, Todd wants to be just as busy as Candy, but she's not as supportive of Todd's ventures. This Todd is of her ventures. What are we gonna do?

He's spent more of Candy's money to have a movie poster blown up. This is classic Todd, like selling. I got so mad, I was like, so you made a whole movie poster on a script that is not written or is partially written, but you're like more interested in a sizzle than the actual like the creative. And what even is the poster? It's a blurred out background. And then what's the main image on it? I forgot.

Doesn't it just say it's title? Like it says the past. I wonder if the blurred out part was because they didn't have rights to whatever, you know, And then what's the main image on it? I forgot. Doesn't it just say which title? It says the pass. I wonder if the blurred out part was because they didn't have rights to whatever, you know, whatever hand models those were or whatever. But like, coming in 2023. The pass. The pass.

And so we find out that this movie is about a couple giving each other the whole pass. You know, to go bang other people. Right. Not to be confused with the movie, Hall Pass from 2011, starring Owen Wilson and Jason Stakas. Or to be confused as the, not to be confused as the response from most of the audience pass. Not to be confused with a part of a journey that the Donner family went on where they all ate each other by the end. That's the Donner pass.

So I don't care about any of this. I'm tired of this storyline. I'm not covering it anymore. Anything else you want to add? Can't use this. Can't use this. Can't use this. Can't use this.

Can't use this. Can't use this. Can't use this. Can't use this. Can't use this. Can't use this. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy.

Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy.

Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy.

Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. Candy's busy. tell your mom. Mom, you fucking leech. You have never had a job. You haven't had a job in 20 something years at least. You have a restaurant named after you for really doing nothing. Let's fucking face it, okay?

Thank you for giving birth to me. I brought you a home. I give you an allowance. If you want the home and the allowance, stop talking shit about my husband. Get the fuck out of here, you old witch. Fuck off, lady. That's what you tell your mom.

Todd, okay. Lulithvice for Todd. Okay, I old witch. Fuck off, lady. That's what you tell your mom. Todd, okay, little advice for Todd. Okay, I know you wanna make a movie that's not based on a movie from 12 years ago, but perhaps takes a lot of storyline from it. But I know that's compelling to you, but why don't you write a movie? Why don't you write a revenge piece on Joyce in your movie? Why don't you write a movie about an awful mom named Jers and just get it out all there. Use her as your muse. Just take her down. Read her for filth in your movie. Don't do something that's like already like the

past. That's actually a really good idea. To make you know, about a mother-in-law who's just evil and undermining and trying to undermine you all the time. But funny. He just slowly starts killing the mother-in-law and nobody would like maybe like putting a little drop of dish soap or something in their head. Maybe. He puts her on a train.

Hear me out. He puts her on a train and he figures out a way to throw her from it. That would work. A remake of Throw Mama from the Train. No, I think that like for sure. You should just like, wasn't there a candy in that movie already? I mean, it works out perfectly. No, it was Danny DeVito and who did the John Candy? No, that was playing Strange and Automobiles.

Sorry. I never actually really liked Throw Mama from the train, but it has a great title. I think there should be something. I like mama. She's like, oh yeah, she's like, it's terrible little mama. I liked her. I thought I remember. Throw a joys from the train.

Like throw a joys from the old lady gang. Do it Todd. I'll support you. Oh yeah. Okay, so they should change the name of that restaurant to old lady duo and get get rid of Joyce, okay? That'll show her. You need to draw some hard lines in the sound.

Old ladies small gathering that used to be one person bigger. So then we go back to Birmingham and every this is what this is where the show is at right now that we're spending more time brainstorming ideas for Todd Tucker. We are talking about what's happening on the show. Yeah. Well, we go to Courtney talking to Drew on the phone and poor Drew's in a bath guys. She's just had such a rough time of it. Fire Drew. She's shooting me on the show to be pulling this shit. I say get rid of the Drew. So then we go to Marlow faking it with her life coach. Like, I can't believe all that don't bring me to this point. And the life coach saying a bunch of bullshit, meaningless pop psychology words like, you were triggered. See, it's the trigger. Okay.

You don't get to, this is why life coaches are dangerous and you need actual trained help. You can't have people making everybody else the problem at all times, okay? This is bullshit. And using the word triggered, if someone uses the word triggered at you in therapy, they're the wrong therapist, promise me. They're never gonna do anything, but still you're money.

Well, I do think that this life coach, to be fair, was basically saying like, she's saying things, she's doing things and those things trigger you, but she wasn't saying it was their fault that they triggered her, it's just more like, it's your fault because you're reacted to it. You know, like, it's the idea is that there's triggers all around us. Anyway, I'm not going to stand up for life coach because it's really like, there's just better things to do in life, like come up with movies for Todd. So I won't say this, you know, the proof is in the pudding.

I don't want to sit here and talk about the baker and the candlestick maker, okay? I judge the bread and the candle. If the bread and the candlestick sucks, then the bread maker and the candlestick maker, the bread baker and the candlestick maker suck, okay? So listen, this is what I'm saying to you, Sharon, the life coach, Marlo suck suck so you suck too, okay? Is this the resume you want to leave behind Marlowe do better? The butcher the baker the candlestick maker. What is the rest of that? I Just know I left the butcher. I totally I totally raised you said Baker and bread maker and I got confused and I was like I bet the bread makers resentful the baker at The baker can do more and then I was like, wait,

there is no bread maker. Can you tell what a pleasant child I was? I was like, fuck this story. Do better. The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker. God, they probably hate the candlestick maker. They hate the candlestick maker. Could you tell you I fucking did it?

I hate the candlestick maker. If I meet one more person making a fucking candle, I don't need, the world doesn't need more candles. Get a real job, okay? Get a real job. Get a real job. Wait, does a candlestick maker make candles or does it make the actual candlesticks

that you put the candles in? Oh, well, don't you call candles candlesticks? Like, when you buy it, when you buy a stick candle, it's not those called candlesticks. I don't know. I think you can get that. I would think so, but I'd know and clue

that you can kill someone with a candlestick, and I'm pretty sure you're not killing them with a wax candle. Unless a candlestick just is a general umbrella term for really all items that are part of the candle structure, including candle labyrinths and hold a candlestick holder. Is that what it is? The butcher, the baker, the candle, family of products maker.

Sour Toge Spring Waters family of candlestick products brought to you by Tlanti Layers, Tlanti, the best candlesticks. I'm just here to announce that I'm leaving this Real Housewives of Atlanta recap. Bye! Bapples! I'm looking for definition of candlestick. Real Housewives of Atlanta recap. Bye. Bapples. I'm looking for definition of candlestick. This is where I now I feel like I'm actually getting dumber over the course of this episode.

Candlestick is a support or holder for one or more candles. Yeah, it's not the candle because the candle's a candle. Well, I was wrong on that one. I quit. Well, Ronnie, how's it feel to have misrepresented your claims about candlesticks? Wow. OK, so then we get a big dramatic announcement

on the screen that says at 10 AM, Kenya informed production. She would not be able to shoot. And then we see Kenya's hotel door, a cell phone footage, and then she's in bed. And she's like, I have to call 911. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. Faker, you're a fucking faker. I'm sick of you faking it and leaving work all the time.

You're too afraid because you know your performance is gonna set, because you did nothing to fucking prepare for it, except have some fake ass scene last week where everybody had to pretend to twerk to your stupid product. You have nothing going on, you're scared, you're a worst for not showing up. Same on you, you should be fired now to you. I'll say Marlow is probably very happy that production actually used the word shoot when they said that Kenya would not be able to shoot. Like thank you for finally using that word.

So finally someone not afraid of candy. Drew's like, we don't like to use that word. I'm sorry, we're ready to what? I'm sorry, we don't like that word in Chicago. Okay. Please say, role film in Chicago. Kenya, so Kenya calls an ambulance, which is a great use of the city's resources

for someone who has a fever. Well, we say, charge you now to use an ambulance. Well, city doesn't pay for that shit. We say, charge you a thousand bucks now. Well, either way, that's someone else who wasn't using an ambulance. Who didn't get access to an ambulance? But I mean, so she feels sick. And you know, God forbid, the production actually drives her anywhere.

They're like, no, let's get the ambulance. So then she tells us she's just, you know, I woke up feeling the weight of everything I've been through the past few weeks. Remind me what you've been through the past few weeks again. What's happened on this show? What have they done in the past few weeks? Yeah, literally nothing.

So I remember the season premiere. What did they even do? Oh, I remember there was a gas party party. There was a there was a Harlem night's party. Okay, it all makes sense now. So yeah, it's really been so been through so much having to dress up. All that scrolling to find Martell's original DM took a lot of that of her. Having to go the she buys Sheree warehouse. It's a lot, it's a lot. So drama in Suz, Sheree sees it happen. And she's like, oh my gosh. And all the girls gather and they're like, oh my God,

poor Kenya, what's going? And Marlo has woken up very sweet. She was reading Bible passages in bed. I didn't mention that part. I think she was reading Psalms in bed to prove to us what a good person. Even though I walk through the valleys of the shadow of death, I do it in Versace, bitch.

Um, says I walk to the valley of the shadow of death. Jesus just slammed a door in my face. Oh, there it is. That's the passage. So then Manietta starts something about her mom passed away this summer. So being in the hospital makes her think of that. And so she starts sobbing. And then Marlo is like, no, we need a prayer for real to make sure Keny is okay. So it's just all a bunch of fake shit where Marlo is coming in pretending that she's the nice one again.

And then we get to this, this, an apology where Monyeda and Marla were like, listen, what Kenya about to die, we really should be friends. Life is too short. Just look at poor Kenya. And so Monyeda is like, and you know, don't, you know, close the door in my face. That wasn't nice. And Courtney's like, um, they now is the argument of if did she slam it or did she not? And we see last night she raised very scientific door test. They close the door again. Because Courtney is like, yeah, she's slamming. And then she's like, no, this isn't breaking news.

She thought you slammed the door, but the door is heavy. The door slams by itself. It's like next season on cereal. Bling, bling, bling, bling, bling. Did you or did you not have a heavy door slam in your face? Dream. So then, this is by the way, not even kidding, this is a five minute scene. On Did The Door Slam?

Is The Door Slamable? Can The Door Slam? Who has proof that The Door Slam? So then we go to packing By everyone on the show by the way, I'm sorry fire everyone on this show Let everyone top bottom. So then Even in the lobby Sherees even better at hosting a trip than Kenya because they're all getting ready to leave and Shere orders Everybody Uber eats which if this is this is a Kenya. That should have only been ordered for one person,

because that's how Kenya rolls. By the way, Ronnie, I'm afraid you may have skipped a really important part of the show, which was watching them pack in slow motion, because that's just, it wasn't just that they were packing, it's that they were being very stylish in the way they were packing. So the show actually showed them packing up their bags

in slow motion. I was like, I guarantee it was to get, eat out four more seconds of content to make this, to finish this episode, to get it to the finish line. So now they're in the lobby with all their, to go food and their delivery food and they're talking about Kenyan.

Shere is like, oh, I think she's still at the hospital and they're running tests and they're talking about Kenyan. Shirei is like, oh, I think she's still at the hospital on the running test and Marlowe's like, no, or someone, not Marlowe, one yet or maybe, who said this? I tried sending flowers, but she checked out. Was it Marlowe? Marlowe tried to send flowers because Kenyan's assistant texted Shirei

and said that Kenyan's still running a fever, so they're holding her. But then Marlowe tried to send flowers and the hospital said that she already checked out. So something is not lining up, but they don't even bother trying to figure it like they just don't even bother to go very far with this. Marlo looks like a bitch. I said, well soon, not immediately. That was faster than Sonya's races. So then they have money to show the the dance move she was going to do for the big halftime show. And she really she's really dedicated. Yeah, to that. And I asked

for a little make it silly. Marlos, like, let's just promise each other one thing that we keep this positive energy that we've all gotten now of his sisters. Like, what positive are you talking about? You were the one who was sitting all over this trip. You lunatic? Yeah. And she goes, and she says, okay, when you're with your other girlfriends or like when your other girlfriends are on candy

and can you, are we still gonna be able to have that same energy and my head is like, as long as you show me respect and don't try to fight my friends and we're all like, oh, that might be a problem. So they have this like weird moment where they're like, gonna pledge to be like really good to each other, which means that they won't be good to each other. And then that's gonna become a fight.

That's gonna be a storyline like, were you promised you'd be good to me? We said we'd have this good energy. And then you didn't. And then that's gonna be a fight. You just know that. So then we be good to me. We said we'd have this good energy and then you didn't. And then that's going to be a fight. You just know that. So then we get to Courtney. And Courtney is like, I mean, keeping with this energy. She'll be right over question. Are you going to be, what are you going to be?

Good energy with my cousin. Stop calling her your cousin. She's not your cousin, Courtney. Stop trying to claw. Stop trying to keep hold of this show, okay? It won't be long. It won't be long now. Just let it happen. Okay, yeah.

So, Shere is like, well, I haven't met the wonderful party yet. And then we see clips of them fighting. And Shere is saying, you know, she called me and we made up, but then a couple weeks later, she was talking shit about me on a podcast, and we hear this podcast clip of Drew saying, oh, do you guys want some tea? But when the reunion was over, Shere started confiscating everything that she gave everybody.

We didn't even get to keep it. I have no see by Shere. And Shere is like, well, that's what I get with her. I don't know where we are. What's going on with her? You know, maybe if she did more cardio instead of running that big fat mouth, then she'd have more to focus on than just me. Okay, so now you're going to do some fat shaming. How about instead of doing so much cardio, you actually go to work and fucking get stuff done, Shre, so that you can let people have

the merch that they would be wearing to promote your fucking business so you don't even know how to promote. Fucking kidding. And now you're gonna make me stand up for Drew. So then they're all laughing. Because now like Monietta's back in the lobby packing up and then there's three of them out on the sidewalk and start laughing about how they're dropping like flies

on this trip and then they put up a graphic like A&TM when they eliminate models and they're all sort of disappearing and it says Kenya's ultimate worst girls trip, which is sort of cute, but again, like they really are having to go to Photoshop a lot in this episode. So now we go, now like this Birmingham trip is finally put to bed and we shall like never talk about it ever again in the history of Bravo and Watcher Crappens, hopefully. And we go to Drew and Ralph with the kids doing homework. And the kids are making sound effects.

The kids are really cute and everything. And then we see Candy hanging out with her cousin Weenie. And Weenie is just saying how proud she is. That Candy's on the Ebony 100. And she's so as big as Candy's biggest fan. And then we kind of settle in a little bit on Sonya and Courtney getting crystals. And there's like talk from the woman who works at the crystal place that there's this one crystal. You can put it on your nilini and it'll do things.

It's good stuff. Good stuff. So then the next big scene is Kenya's house. Shereka comes over and Kenya is like, I am so sick. You know, doing the Kenya thing. we've seen it a million times. And so she's talking about how disappointed she was to miss her, you know, her big Kenya more hair care moment.

And then Sheree, of course, they start talking about Marlow and Sheree, of course, it's like, I will not defend Marlow kicking your door. I will not defend it. And the producer is like, uh, didn't you bang on her door too? And she's like, I absolutely did not. Can he just mad at Marlow because Marlow kicked the door? And I did not do that. So we see a clip again. I was right kicking the door and Shreya telling us, I'm a lady. And she's like, I think Marlow is just being like this because she wants her attention or your approval or something. And then Brooklyn runs in for hugs. And she's like, I think Marlos just being like this because she wants her attention or your approval or something, and then Brooklyn runs in for hugs and she's the cutest fucking kid.

Okay, so she runs and she hugs her and she shows off some karate and Kenya's like, oh my God, it was so good to see you. Okay, go to your nanny, bye. Okay, this is all we ask, okay? Keep that energy for girls trips. You have a nanny. Stop acting like you're doing this alone and living out of your car.

No? Exactly. So then Shere starts talking about how she has fibroids and she's really apprehensive about getting surgery and she wants to treat them the holistic way because Kenyan's had fibroids and she talks about how she's had multiple surgeries, etc. And so Shere, really, she wants it with the natural way. The reason why she doesn't want to get surgery is because she's like, you can't have sex for six weeks afterwards.

And that's like, no, go, when you got someone like Martell hanging around. So, and then she goes, oh, and here's something else. There's the first stuff told anyone. But, well, you know I'm expecting. And Kenyans like, what? I was kidding. Just kidding like Just kidding just kidding you got your red yes, right So we go to candy and Joyce's big meeting John John John and mama Joyce is like Is the whole cat sick the whole everyone? Can we not film this in November anymore? I was like, is the whole cat sick? The whole everyone.

Could we not film this in November anymore? I won't yell at Ace because he's a child, okay? Ace, you're allowed. You're allowed to take a little time off. But like, what is happening with this cast? I mean, it really is a lot of illness. So Candy confronts Joyce about Bravo Con. I've had Joyce's comments that she made about Todd,

her shady comments, and how they all went viral. And Joyce said, well, I'm not going to lie. I mean, they asked me a question. I told the truth. You know, he needs to lighten up sometimes. And how they started this conversation with Candy, of course, whenever you ask Candy how she is, she's like so busy, and then she lists stuff that she's doing. So it started that way.

And she's like, you know, I'm just trying to do a million things. And Joyce is like, well, you just keep on blessing people and helping people because that's what God put you on earth to do. Joyce is just like, you're paying my bills still, right? Okay. Keep that. That's the only answer I needed. Thanks. So, he's like, why does Todd have to lighten up? Like you're constantly dragging him in public. And he's like, she's like, do you ever like bring up the time that you think Todd has done something right or nice? And Joyce is like, well, most of the time when I come home,

he's asleep, so I don't even get to talk to him. So I don't even know if he's a nice person because I haven't seen him in six years or so. And she's like, yeah, he's avoiding the negative energy He's a nice person because I haven't seen him in six years or so. And she's like, yeah, he's avoiding the negative energy. And the negative energy is you. And she's like, well, that's why I don't come over then. And Candi's like, listen, you got to stop this.

You love your grandchildren and what if they're older, they don't want to see you talking like that about their dad. And Joyce is like, Yeah, but I want Ace's six years old to take out the trash. That something as daddy should be teaching him. I'm like, oh, okay. So this is all because you don't think Todd takes out the trash enough. Candy said it wrong.

She's when she said you love your grandchildren, right? The next line should have been like, do you ever want to see them again? Okay, because if you do, if you want to, you need to shut up at that top. Like, that's one of the main reasons I- That's exactly right. That's exactly right. I feel like one of the main reasons why people have children is really to give- give yourself some sort of leverage on your parents at long last. You can finally force your parents to do things, you know, because they always had the parent card, but now you can- you can hold those kids hostage, okay? So do that candy. Yeah

And Mama Joyce's argument is listen He used to be humble and meek and now he's George Jefferson So She's like mom you have to stop. I need you to stop this and she's like okay Well, if that's what you're willing to accept from a man, if you like your man not taking out the trash and going to strip clubs, then find by me. And she's like, I go to strip clubs with him.

OK. Notice she did not say he takes out the trash, mom. She did not contest that point. And Joyce said, well, no one at the strip club looks better than mine. If that's what you all like. And she goes, and what do you and your man like? And Joyce goes, well, if I ever got a man, she goes, exactly, okay?

If you get one, so now leave my man alone. You got to accept who I like. And you and I just think differently. And I think we should go to counseling. So basically, they're all gonna go to counseling together, which is gonna be their storyline. go to counseling. So basically they're all going to go to counseling together, which is going to be their storyline. Okay, so then we go to, um, then we go to a one of those injection, those places where

they give you I. D's no mad M. D. I will never forget that toy for Mary to medicine had this idea years ago and nobody listened to her and everybody said she was fucking crazy and she was like at the right time to capitalize on all of this. So respect to toya, okay? Yeah, let's all listen to toya more because let's she's very smart. Just kidding. But she was right on this one. Okay, so they're all going to be getting these vitamin infusions and it's Sire Kenya and Drew. Yes, so they all gather and then Sire is only willing to give Drew a high five and she's like, it's only a high five because we have an issue and that's everyone knows.

When you have an issue with someone, you only high five them, right? That's a common thing, am I right? Nope. Okay, so Drew goes, well, I have no idea why Sheree's being so cold. I mean, she's getting all her vitamins and hydration. She should be thankful because it's free. I mean, you know, she loves to say,

of a panty, honey. And then we see her thinking of her assistant from last year. So you don't pay. Sheree, so you don't pay. Oh, so Sheree's like, yeah, you know, I heard about your interview saying that I took things back. And she was like, well, I didn't say you took everything back.

And we see the clip. And it's like, she confiscated everything. So yes, you did say it, life face. And she goes, but I wanted that bag. And Saray is like, that was my own personal bag that I had on that rolling cart full of product for you all to choose from. It wasn't supposed to be on there. And she was like, well then, so then like that happened

and but the call that I made to you was after and it was genuine. So I don't want you to think it wasn't genuine. And she was like, I see who she is. And she sees like what she, well, I don't know whatever. She was like, I'm not buying it, but she can hop on my website

and she can make a purchase. So Drew is basically saying, she just joking that she, she didn't get anything, she almost got her hands on some she buys her, she almost did, but she didn't quite get it. So anyway, this issue is put to bed very quickly.

And now Kenya starts telling them about Birmingham, about Drew, about Birmingham, and she brings up how, you know, like Marlow just went off on her. And, you know, you told me, after it was all over with, she had a problem with you for not being hard enough on candy. So could you please elaborate on that scene from two weeks ago because I'd like to get back to that storyline. So she's like, you stood up for candy, you didn't use the word. And Drew's like, I'm sorry, but I'm from Chicago, and we don't use that word. And Syracas, uh, shooting, she's like, oh God.

God, please don't. Not in my presence, please. That's a flashback of Drew's saying, I was there two days before the shooting. Ha! Ha! Ha! Listen, don't shoot the messenger, we just don't use that word, okay? Ha! Ha! We're still shooting, right? Yeah, don't shoot the messenger. We just don't use that word, okay? We're still shooting, right?

Yeah, I don't say shooting. Oh, wow, I really, thank you for this IV. It's so funny. I feel like you're shooting me up with drugs. I know it's just vitamins. So then, Kenya's like, why is it your business? Like, why is she going off at you about it? And she goes, yeah, well, I don't know,

but I don't do well with people being aggressive in my face for no reason. And she raised like, well, she said that you were standing over her. Okay, yeah, but it's because she literally brought out a folding chair into a hallway and parked it right by the front door. Like what? She was sitting in like the door man's folding chair.

Like no one made her do that. I was crazy. And Drew's like no, I was standing against the wall and she was sitting and then she stood up. Did she tell you that part? And then they show funny footage of like a reenactment, which by the way, literally none of this who cares if someone was sitting or standing.

So Drew's like, she went on to tell me something happened to her nephew and I just wasn't really clear what really happened with the nephew. I'm like, Drew, okay, come on, like, it's pretty clear what happened to the nephew. That to be fair is clear what happened. And so Shreya, that's clear why it's Candy's fault and then, no, you're fault for not yelling at Candy about it.

But that's not clear, yeah. That's definitely not clear. But then Shreya explains that I guess what I didn't realize is that, or maybe I forgot and was that Quentin had met the guy who shot when they both met at Old Lady Gang. I thought when it was just a chef at Old Lady Gang, but they actually met there. Yeah, I still don't know how that's in my father's car. So then she's like, yeah, he met a guy that was working at Candie's restaurant as well.

They became roommates and then that one guy killed her nephew. And Candie is like, okay, so this relates to Candie, like how? And she's like, well, her thing is my nephew worked at your restaurant and candy didn't even reach out to the mom or send flowers or anything like that. Is this the mafia? I'm concerned. So, you know, real housewives of Atlanta is spearheading a new genre, you know, like True Crime was so old. Now, please welcome a boring crime. That's what the show is introducing. I'm still, it's a stretch. It's a stretch. Okay. So then Kenya is like, okay, whatever. So Courtney, let's talk about Courtney. Okay. So did you give Courtney my phone number? I know

she's your cousin. And she's like, I did not give her your number, but she did invite you somewhere, right? I know, I told her to invite you and give her your number. So it could be really fun. It's gonna be like team building. We're gonna do like laser lights, like a matrix that has all these activities and missions. It's gonna be so fun guys. We're just gonna hang around and shoot the shit.

And I don't know, I'm sorry for giving her your number. I really hope I didn't shoot myself in the foot right then. But anyway, yeah, I didn't give her your number. I'm so that's gonna be fine. Just building with lasers. Just like the best team building exercises you can imagine. So then, they talk about this pack they made to have good vibes.

And so it's like, yeah, we just wanna continue having good vibes with each other. And so it's like, yeah, we just want to continue having good vibes with each other. And then it's like three days from now. And we see Kenya telling Candy what Marlos said about the nephew getting shot. And then Kenya saying, she had her character, or can't be saying her character went out the window when she slashed all those faces.

Yeah. I just give it yeah, that's all. I had nothing more to say than that. I can't be yelling. I'm only crying because I can't choke you bitch. And then Kenyah says, we'll see who can show up and who can show out. So it looks like next week, people actually arrive

to the set, which is nice. That's pretty big news. Yeah. So we'll see. We'll see, maybe they have a fight that's interesting next week, but until then, yeah, start to be kind of a downer on the show because we try not to come from a place

of being downers on the show, but honestly, we also have to be authentic to ourselves as well. And, you know, we have to express our feelings. So that was Real Housewives of Atlanta. We'll be back with many more shows this week. So stay tuned, we got Summer House Martha's Vineyard also coming down the pike. And thanks everyone for listening and for watching and we will catch you on the next episode. Bye everyone. Bye.
