Andy
So much happens when there's so much that happens.
Ben
Well, hello and welcome to watch what happens. This is part two of a two part recap. If you're like, hey, wait a minute, I didn't hear part one, guys. It's because we put out a lot of recaps. Go back and listen to part one, okay? It's before this one. Bye. Enjoy the show.
Andy
So Andy's like sudden you told Bose and Malibu you found suspicious that Keely had Never been married or had children before. And Sutton's like, you know, and we see some unseen footage of Bose telling Sutton this, and she's like, oh, God, wow. When you see that, you kind of want to just like, flag it, am I right? With a big red flag. Red, red, red, red flag. But totally supportive of you. And Andy's like, do you stand by it? She's like, well, you know, me and Dayton don't go so well. So, you know, man, it just. It makes me nervous when men have not been married and are approaching 50. I mean. I mean, do you have commitment issues, Andy? I mean, that's all I mean by it. He's like, I've never been married. Yeah, look at you. Look at you right now. A grown, grown Peter Pan with children. Okay, how do you feel about that?
Ben
And he's like, I have commitment issues. Which is kind of her point. So she made that one. So. And he's like, well, okay, let's talk about your fertility journey. No, thanks, ff. But she's doing that. She's still doing it. And then she's talking about the other ladies, and he says, you know, turning what many found to be kind of an unlikely friendship. You could say bosom buddies. What drew you and do read together? And she's like, well, you know, I met with Garcelle before we started filming, and I was like, tell me all the gossip up. And she said she wouldn't because she wanted my relationships to be my relationships. And I really respected that. So when I came to the Suttons party, I was inspired by Garcelle's directive to be open. And basically the other person that was open was Dorit. Now, she was an open wound, but thankfully I had a lot of tool to wipe around that womb and stop the bleeding. Andy, I go where I'm needed.
Andy
Honestly, I was just fascinated by her hat that looked like Saturn. So Andy is like, all right, well, Kyle said Dorit is so all over booze's ass, it's actually gross. And Garcelle said Dorit was an embryo opposite Gucci. How do you feel when you hear those comments? And Dori goes, it was a little pathetic, but it was funny too. You have to admit, it was funny. Wait, hold on one second, hold on. Let me dust this one off.
Ben
Well, Bo said on the after show that Sutton and Greedy. Wait, Sutton and Garcelle. That would be Garcelle and Dorit in a couple. Sorry about that. Sutton and Garcelle were jealous. And we see a flashback of them saying that, both saying, well, Perhaps some jealousy that I would find any interest in Dorit, given that perhaps I'm not finding interest in them.
Andy
So Garcelle is like, absolutely not. Only time I really had a problem with it was when we were in Oceanside and you guys were talking and talking. We were just left out for an hour. I mean, you guys just yapping down there on your side of the table. And we see a flashback to when they were talking at a table and Garcelle saying, are we not included in this conversation? So Garcelle's like, can I tell you if you run the tape of me of the past five years, Everybody had an issue with Sutton and I being friends. So it's not like, this is crazy that this happened.
Ben
Flashback to Diana Jenkins. You are fake. You are such a fake. And a phony fake fake. Well, that ended Garcelle saying, that's kind of shitty. Are you. Are you her bodyguard? You need a new willing.
Andy
Here I am.
Ben
Yeah.
Andy
Well, if people have an issue with you two being friends, then wouldn't you say, I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna engage. And she's like, no, no, I'm not gonna go on and on about it. I mean, oh, my God, how are they friends? Oh, my God, how are they getting along? What do they have in common? I'm not gonna do all that kind of stuff. I mean, is she an embryo? Suck up her coochie, perhaps? Is she. Is she a piece of tool who wants to attach to her dress? Perhaps, But I'm not gonna go on.
Ben
And on and bozen dorito. Like, yes, you did. You did do that. You did go on and on. But to be fair, you all not Bose, because she wasn't here. But everyone else went on and on about Garcelle standing up for Sutton all the time too. It's not like you guys never said anything. So why is it bad for Garcelle to say something if she's saying it? You guys have no problem saying that. Garcelle is up Dorit's ass every single reunion. So why is it a sudden problem, you know?
Andy
Yeah, exactly. So Bose is like, well, there just was so many times that you did that. And Erica's like, yeah, you stuck together. Yes. There you go. You're stuck together. And because now they're literally stuck.
Ben
Garcelle's glove is stuck on Sutton's dress. And so she's like, well, look, anyways, to be honest, if I said stuff, I'm glad you had a friend in Beau's, all right? I don't have a problem with that. I'm just glad that you don't have a friend in me because this is not toy story, all right? I don't need your poor ass in my life. So you're happy for Dorit that she has a friend? Yes. Yes.
Andy
Or as I like to say it, opposite of no. By the way, I think the reason why everyone jumps on this is because the fox force five, even though they're four now, they were really. They were real. They got really annoyed about being called. Now they're just down to three.
Ben
Yeah, it's just Erica, Dorit and Kyle because Teddy and Rinna were the other ones.
Andy
Yeah, you're right. Either way, they were all very, very sensitive about being called The Fox Force 5 being called a clique. And they would sort of respond by trying to own it, being like, here we are, the fox force five. Or they'd be like, we're not a clique. They hated it. They hated being called a clique because they were so obviously a clique. And they. It was so true. It was so. It's obvious to everyone. Everyone knows that they're a clique, and they don't want to admit that they're a click, but they are. So that's why they get so mad about it. So anytime they have an opportunity to sort of throw it back at someone else and get the click heat off of them onto other people, they will take it 100% of the time.
Ben
And just to be fair, the fox force five is fucking annoying. Standing up for each other blindly, as they do in this reunion and every reunion. But also garcelle and Sutton are fucking annoying too, that she. That whole thing annoys me too, with the, like, you have to have my back. You have to have my back. You have to have my back. You have to have my back. Who has my back? Who has my back? Like, part of me is like, you're adults. Like, everyone get over it. And the Dorit and Bose thing does kind of get on my nerves too, because it would be nice for dorit to just be able to fight with somebody and not have somebody intelligent standing right there to speak for dorit. Because dorit couldn't handle most of this on her own, you know? So it's kind of annoying all over the place, even though it's part of these shows, you know, it's like a built in part of these shows. So I just don't understand how they all get mad at each other when they all do it, you know?
Andy
I mean, my hot Take is I actually don't really mind the Bows and Dorit situation, and I actually don't really mind the Garcelle and Sutton thing. It's always annoying when they get into conversations about who has my, like, do you have my back? Do you have my back? And it's sort of surprising because Sutton and Sutton and Garcelle never really talked like that before until this season. But I think The Fox Force 5 was way more egregious because it was like a group of people and they were very sanctimonious and they repeatedly would run people off the show and they would attack people for things that they themselves were guilty of. And whenever being confronted with the things that they do, they get all like, how dare you about it. So I think that's also the big difference between it. But it is annoying when you get into conversations of like, you don't have my back, which is like, of course, like the Salt Lake City, you know.
Ben
Yeah, that's the part I'm talking about. Yeah, but they all, you know, they all do it. It's part of the show. So Kyle's Bose says the most offensive part was where Garcelle said that bows was being manipulated by Dorit. And she's like, that's ridiculous. And Kyle goes, well, I didn't think she was being manipulated. Yeah, Kyle. Okay. So Bose is like, I mean, that's insulting to me. And if you think for one second there's anything that Tariq could say that would influence my opinion of you, then you don't think very much of yourself. And Garcelle's like, okay, okay. But what Garcelle was saying is you're naturally going to have more of a problem because the only thing you know about these people is information you're being fed by Dorit, which is natural. And you said yourself that when you got together with Garcelle, Garcelle would not feed you that information because she didn't want to color your experience. And you said, great, because that could have colored my experience. So now why can't you admit that hearing only information from one other person could possibly color your experience? I mean, you just said the other argument five minutes ago ago.
Andy
So yeah, you know, I agree. So now we go to commercial break, and when we come back, Andy dives into a sudden segment. So we see a montage. I'm not sudden. I mean, Garcelle. Well, they really are. They really are buzzing buddies. Cuz I am mixing them up. So g. We see Garcel, she. Guys, you won't believe it. I got a beach house. A beach house in Oxnard.
Ben
There's a black girl missing. Part three boys. We got the studio.
Andy
We found her, and she's in Oxnard. She built a beach house. It's a beach house, everyone.
Ben
So then we move to the juicier clips of Garcelle saying. Confronting Kyle about Morgan, saying, we tiptoe around Morgan. We don't know what that situation is. And Kyle's saying, there is no situation. Maybe one day I'll have a great story to tell. Okay.
Andy
I hope you do. I hope you do. I hope you dance. Okay. Andy's like, all right, everyone, here it comes. A lot to un back there. So on Entertainment Tonight, she said she wanted to see Sutton and Garcelle open up more about their real lives. And Erica's like, yeah, we want the juicy skip. What's happening? Garcelle's like, I wish there was more. I mean, I put in pretty cool tiling in my home, did I not? I mean, what else do you want from me?
Ben
And Erica's like, that's what we're getting at. You know, I'm not saying she's. I'm not saying she's not telling us what's happening, but what are you doing? And she goes, there's nothing else to show. I'm showing you everything. Well, are you dating? Are you. Where's your love? Where's anybody's love life? Literally none of you. Come on. I don't believe it.
Andy
Where's. Where are your friends, Erica? Who are the people in your life? Who do you hang out with? What are your hobbies? Do you do anything other than, like, get in makeup and, like, what about Marco Marco?
Ben
What about your default in the Marco Marco case is going to get you in trouble again? What about you being sued for another $24 million because someone's about to prove that your ass knew all what Tom was doing all along to fund your stupid career? Come on. What about that? Why is that such a problem to talk about this year?
Andy
What about the way you parked in the Pavilion's parking lot, which I'm just assuming was poorly? I don't.
Ben
So Garcelle. So Garcelle's like, you know, listen, what do you want me to show? And. And he's, like, dating? And they're like, yeah, are you getting a little. And she goes, no, I mean, I went on two dates with somebody. And so Andy's like, what do you guys want to see? And she goes, yeah, what more do you want? Like, there's Nothing I'm not showing. And, you know, to be fair, Garcelle is showing what's going on in her life. She's been building a house for three years. She's been working and producing films and acting and a ton of stuff. I mean, she's busy. She is showing what she's doing. It may not be the most exciting content, but she is doing something, and I would venture to say, more than most of you.
Andy
Yeah. And so Eric is like, no, I guess I just wish you were more interesting, I guess. And then Beau's like, or them.
Ben
Well, we can't all be living off the backs of orphans and widows, Erica.
Andy
You know, we can't all be. We can't all be embroiled in scandal. And Garcelle's kind of like, I already had my scandal. I've already been through this. I did this. That's passe. You're like, I'm farther ahead than you are. I've figured out my life, and I'm. I'm, like, doing things with it.
Ben
Well, she makes a good point where she's like, my divorce was before I came on the show, and I was very open about it. I talked about the divorce. I talked about what happened. I talked about my feelings. I talked about my revolution, my revenge on my husband. I talked about how it made my kids feel, how my kids are still dealing with it. Like, what the. It's not like I didn't talk about it. What about yours? Erica? You're lying. Talking about not seeing Tom anymore and having nothing to do with any cases and saying you're completely out of the woods and all of this. What the.
Andy
And where's.
Ben
What?
Andy
Like, honestly. Okay, I will even say this. If she does not want to talk about these horrific scandals in her life, I mean, obviously, we want to hear about it, but I'm just putting that to the side. Like, there was stuff that. Like, this was Erica's life on the show, even before the scandal. We don't see her with her son. We don't see her with. We just don't see her with anyone. And it's not interesting. And then she says this about Garcelle, and Garcelle's like, well, that's a shitty thing to say. And she goes, well, I think he kind of led me there.
Ben
What?
Andy
You can't blame Garcelle for what you just said. And she said, well, I thought we were in a better place. She goes, well, we are. She goes, no, we're not. If you say something like that. Well, I think so. Our experience, my experience, Kyle and Dari's experience going through all these really ugly public divorces and coming apart. She was like, what do you want me to do? Like, it's not my fault my ugly divorce came earlier. Want me to, like, date someone for, you know, like, I have a fake relationship, but just so I could break up with them to be on the show.
Ben
Yeah. Maybe she could just date a man 50 years her senior for his money and then, you know, have a big fake pop career that she's paid for and then have it all come crashing down when it turns out she's been married to a fucking criminal the whole time. Like, not everybody gets that exciting of a life, Erica. Okay? She wasn't pulled off a pole and put on a pedestal. Like, what the fuck do you want? So now, like, well, I was open. I've been open, you know? And Kyle's like, well, my issue with you is that you say Kyle's not been showing us her life. And I've showed so much of my life, you know? Have you really? She talks about her sisters. Yeah. You've thrown your sisters under the bus. You've had no problems talking openly about their problems, their going on. But we haven't really heard that much. We still don't know why you left your husband. We still don't know if he cheated. We still don't know if he's even dating anybody. We still don't know if you're dating Morgan. We don't know what's going on with your children. Well, what the. Are you talking about Kyle?
Andy
Yeah, I will. I will allow that Kyle has shared stuff in her life in the past, but now that there's something actively happening in her life that she won't talk about it when she was so vicious and relentless with other people on this show that she has that. That since left because they just couldn't even deal with it anymore. It was, like, not worth it to them. Lisa Vanderpump, Denise Richards, others, you know? Like, that's where it's frustrating. It's not that. Like, just because you shared something five years ago doesn't mean that you're. You're. You're off the hook for not, like, really avoiding what's going on in your life this season, you know? And so Kyle is, though. She sees this as an opening where she can deflect from her shit and just attack Garcelle.
Ben
Right. Because nobody wants to see more from Garcelle. That's not the point. They're calling Garcelle Boring. Because Kyle doesn't want to answer whether she's a lesbian right now. That's it. That's this whole thing, and everybody knows it. And Kyle's doing this, like, well, what do you want me to tell you? What more do you want from me? Like, having this big fit. And Erica goes, yeah, that's how we feel. We've just been so open. We've been so destroyed. You destroyed your damn self, okay? You destroyed your damn self, and your husband destroyed you, so stop with this. So Kyle's like. I mean, literally turning the cap, tuning the camera out, and never even thinking about the cameras being there. Do you have my right side or my left? Okay, do it again. That's how much we've done this.
Andy
Okay, Kyle. Kyle saying. Kyle's saying, oh, my God. Do you realize, like, I'm not even thinking about the cameras being there? Let's rewind to the top of the episode. Dorit, how did you not know they'd catch you smoking on camera? Our cameras are there. We all know the cameras are right there. So she's both very aware of the cameras, but she tunes them out. She doesn't remember they're even there.
Ben
So Garcelle brings up that last year, Morgan was part of the show, and they met her. So what's the problem with bringing that up? And so we see the flashback to Kyle tattooing decay onto Morgan and me, Like I told you. Decay on you? Yeah, she stalked me. She stalked me. Yeah, I made a couple albums about her stalker, Mitch, with the clip.
Andy
I mean, you know, listen, listen. Morgan did not sign up for the show. She did not want to be part of it, and she's not part of the cast. And Carcel's like, well, she didn't sign up this season, but she was on before. She's fair game. And Kyle's like, okay, she came on as a favor to me because I wanted her. It was. I wanted her to come on as a favor to me to be someone on the show for no reason, because there's no relationship between us. What was the favor? Why. Why did you want her on the show then? Because what ensued after that created a lot of anxiety for her. She didn't ask for this life. And I'm trying to be respect of someone who didn't sign up for it. You know, your son didn't want to be part of the show this season, and I respect that. I'm actually very hurt by you this season.
Ben
Like, well, I was hurt by you, okay? Now I have to Say, just to be fair, because Kyle makes me crazy. I like that Dorit asks her about this, not to read. Garcelle asked her about this. But it did get old. It got to be too much for me where I was just like, okay, like, this final one of, like, let's talk about Morgan again. Like, enough. You've already done it two other times this season. She said she doesn't want to talk about it. Like, I get how Kyle wouldn't want to talk about it and how she would be annoyed, but I also get that you are the one who brought it on camera in the first place, you know, But I did think Garcelle went a little far with that, personally.
Andy
I mean, I think that, like, in normal life, if it was just like a group of friends, she did go far. But for this show, I don't think so. Because Kyle is happy to use the platform to talk about who Mauricio is, like, banging or whatever. And talks about Mauricio. And by the way. And as she should. Because, you know.
Ben
Right, Yeah, I agree.
Andy
Yeah. As she should. I fully support that. But then what it is is that Kyle paints a picture of herself in a certain way and Garcelle's like, well, but you have to, like, but there's more to this story. And you're just creating a narrative on this platform that's going out to America. But, like, what is. But what's the rest of the story? It's, like, frustrating that they have to tiptoe around. Kyle never has any problem asking nosy ass questions about people, but suddenly he can't ask nosy questions to Ky. And.
Ben
I think that especially about sexuality, as you already brought up Denise and Brandy's lie that Kyle brought Randy on to.
Andy
Tell, you know, so, like, in a normal social situation, yeah, Garcelle's being tacky as fuck. But honestly, I think that at the end of it, at the end of the day, Garcelle does not really care about Kyle, so she's just happy to make Kyle uncomfortable. I think she's always enjoyed doing that. She enjoys needling Kyle. She enjoys watching Kyle get into, you know, a kerfuffle. And, you know, I like that.
Ben
It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Grappens commercial.
Podcast Host
Have you ever wondered how a circus performer could become the most powerful woman in the Byzantine Empire?
Hyundai Ad Voice
Even the Royals is a podcast from Wondery that pulls back the curtain on royal families from ancient empires to modern monarchs, to show you the darker side of what it means to be royalty.
Podcast Host
Before she ruled an empire. Theodora was a teen sensation in circus shows featuring dancing bears, burlesque performers and blood soaked Chariot. But when her star came crashing down, she clawed her way from rock bottom to the very top, using everything from comedy to espionage to get there.
Hyundai Ad Voice
Empress Theodora didn't just survive. She revolutionized women's rights across the Byzantine Empire, like changing laws to let women divorce men own property and bring abusive men to justice. For all her work in pioneering, she's remembered as the most powerful Byzantine empress in history.

Ben
So basically this turns into Garcelle saying, look, this is something everybody's talking about. You're in all the. You're in all the magazines on purpose. So it would look hypocritical for everybody here to just ignore it. Like, why aren't we allowed to ask? And. And then you go on the. After you pretend you're okay when we're shooting it. Like, I made that lesbian comment at the Chuck E. Cheese and you laughed about it. And then we see the clip of her being like, kyle, be who you want to be. If you want to be a lesbian, be a lesbian. And Kyle cracking up. And she's like. And then you were fine with it. But. And I wasn't even being catty. I was just telling you, Kyle, no one will care. We support you. The fans will support you. Everybody's going to support this. You're making it more difficult. And she goes. And then you find you acted like you were fine. And then on the after show, you went. And you called me an asshole. So what's that about?
Andy
Yeah, which also, to be fair to Kyle, like, you're allowed to sit. I think she. Kyle is allowed to call Garcelle an. Because how many times have. Especially like, how many times have you been confronted about, like an uncomfortable situation? And then you laugh it off. And then it's really like, what An. For putting me in that situation. I actually think Kyle was allowed to say that. And Kyle's like, well, what was going through my head is that you're being an right now. She goes, well, you know, that wasn't. You said that intentionally. She goes, well, just be who you want to be. Stop worrying what other people think. And Andy's like, do you think that's what she's doing? And she's like, yeah, she's just trying because Kyle does care about what people think. And she's Very. She's very concerned about all that, which is why she's being protective about it, which is why she doesn't want to talk about it on camera.
Ben
So she's like, you were trying to embarrass me. That was an asshole move. Which you shouldn't be embarrassed anyway, so.
Andy
I don't think she was trying to be embarrass her.
Ben
Yeah, Garcelle's like, look, you can have your opinion. And in any way. It's not about. If Kyle had called her an asshole right then, it wouldn't have been a thing. It's that Kyle acts like she's okay, and then she's. She's two faced. She goes. And then to a different camera calls you an asshole, whereas Garcelle just says right to your face. So then she's like. And then you got mad at Sutton for not jumping on the bandwagon. And she goes, well, because Sutton didn't have my back, and that's between me and Sutton, so, you know, that's between us, period. And she goes, well, but you're saying that she didn't have your back to come after me? She goes, no, she didn't have my back to. To support me. Not come after you. No. Support you in coming after me. Well, Kyle, if you watch the show, as you clearly studied it, you would know that Sutton had just had a conversation with Garcelle where she said, yeah, Kyle needs to be confronted about that. And then act so innocent when it was brought up. That's why she wasn't being supported. She actively sat there and made a plan to come talk about it with you, and then whisked out at the last second to get your. Get in your good graces.
Andy
Yeah. And so someone's like, well, you know what? You know, she didn't want to talk about Morgan and she want to bring that up. So I didn't bring it up. Well, if Morgan had not been on the show prior, then I think it would have been okay to say, well, it's part of my life. That's not. That's off the table. And Kyle goes, but that's not. That's not her place. She didn't sign the contract to be there. I did. But again, it just never. I don't feel like. I'm sure if we go back, we can find plenty of times where Kyle has a lot to say about people. I mean, honestly, everything with Denise and I always go back to the Denise thing because I feel like the. The Denise, like, witch hunt was really one of the most, like, gross things that that clique ever did. And here they are on camera. Well, actually, never mind. I'm taking this back because it. I was gonna say they're happy to revel in, like, this lesbian affair with Denise and Brandy. And I was like, brandy wasn't part of the show. But then I remember Brandi was the one who came to the camera and.
Ben
Was like, kyle brought her to the camera. Don't you remember? Kim's like, oh, man, Brandy, we're just in really not become my Brandy teller. And then Brandy told her on camera. I mean, I think it's all shocked and had to take it to everybody else.
Andy
It's. That's actually even worse than what Garcelle's doing, because Garcelle is merely asking questions like, can you give some context to this?
Ben
Right. She's not bringing on Kyle actually Morgan's or something.
Andy
Yeah, Kyle, like, yeah, she did not bring Morgan onto the show. She's not any of that. You know, like, Kyle did, like, a dirty deed that season, like, a dirty, dirty.
Ben
And then spent the rest of the season going, but Brandi never lies. Brandy's not a liar. Brandi wouldn't lie. Brandy's a truth teller.
Andy
Exactly. Ask her what she thinks about Brandy these days.
Ben
Like I just said, Sutton's been talking about this shit for seasons. And to act like she isn't, like, we haven't seen it on tv, is ridiculous. Like, Kyle says, she didn't want to talk about it. So fine, then why were you have the season saying, and then what about Kyle not talking about this and that? I mean, come on.
Andy
And I think the thing to go back to the Morgan thing, because why should we ever talk about anything else? I think what's also probably frustrating for Garcelle is that Kyle is on camera talking about, oh, my God, I'm realizing that Mauricio has really moved on. And, oh, it's really real now. And those are. Those are probably all completely real and valid feelings. Like, she probably genuinely feels that way, and that is hard to go through. But she's. She's painting a narrative. She's all alone, all by herself. When it's like.
Ben
But you.
Andy
Like, there's this situation with Morgan Wade, which maybe she's dating her, maybe she's not, but it seems like there's a relationship, and at the very least, there's a very close friendship. And. And, like, you're painting a narrative like, you're all alone in this. In this situation, but, like, actually, you're out there also. Having some fun, it seems like. And if you're not having fun, then clarify it.
Ben
So then it turns to, well, why. Why were you just saying that? I wasn't. I would. That I wasn't support. I wasn't standing up for Sutton. Because then you said that. That, like, you know, when. When Sutton was getting trouble. In trouble at the table and everybody was coming for Sutton, and then I didn't say anything. You got mad at me for not standing up for her, but you didn't stand up for her. And no one else stood up for her. Why is it me? Why is it always me? Why?
Andy
Why?
Ben
Why is it me?
Andy
She's going nuts. And Garcelle is basically like, because she wants it more from you. So she. She's expecting it for more from you because she knows she'll get it from me. You know, like, she knows that I support her, but she doesn't know if you support her. And then you stay there and like, she is sitting there asking you to support, and you don't do it. And I didn't do it, because the moment that I do it, everyone goes, oh, there they are again. The two of. It's like, it's Garcelle and Sutton. Garcelle is the mouthpiece again.
Ben
Yeah. I think Garcelle is kind of so thrown off by all of this that she's not really standing up for herself very well, you know, because she's not pointing out a lot of things that are going on. Like, she didn't point out what you just said, which is, I'm always standing up for Sutton. I was giving Sutton a chance to see if you were going to stand up for her or not. If I didn't stand up for her for one scene out of nine million scenes. And you didn't. And that's the point. That's the point I was trying to make for Sutton. You're trying to win Kyle's approval. Kyle does not give a shit about you. When you don't care about. You don't care about my approval because you know that you've automatically got it. And I will always stand up for you. You know, I wish Garcelle kind of had a better defense to some of this stuff.
Andy
Yeah, she definitely was caught off guard because she was not expecting to be in the hot seat. She thought she was just going to be there and chime in and say things and support Sutton. And she did not realize that this was going to be a. This would be such a moment. Right.
Ben
So Kyle does her whole, like, Jennifer, telly didn't stand up for her. What did I do to deserve it? What did I do? And so Garcelle just. Just says, okay, well, I'm sorry about that. She's. I mean, I don't know. It's like, who do you trust? You know? Like, who do you trust? Oh, well, surely you could trust your best friend who's texting your ex behind your back. Surely so.
Andy
I know. Well, I know the feeling. It's not nice. And I think that's why I grew tatted towards Bose. She was so real. I didn't feel like I had. I had to question it ever. Garcia goes, good. And he's like.
Ben
Okay, now we move to the big one, which is Dorit. How do you feel seeing what Garcelle said about someone orchestrating the break in there was new music.
Andy
You're so silly. Gotcha, bitch.
Ben
Gotcha. Cool.
Andy
If you're insinuating that Deborah herself set this up for an insurance scam, you are sadly mistaken.
Ben
So she's like, I don't done this. Now here's the thing. Before we even get into all of this, Garcelle, if you are going to say that somebody or that that was bullshit, you are going to have to take it at the reunion. And that's just it. Like, she's not in this. In this section. And I don't mean this for the rest of the reunion, but for this section, you said it. Take the heat.
Andy
You're gonna have to like, I actually, I liked her. Well, I mean, when she said, I never said it was you or pk. I mean that was kind of bullshitty. But I liked what she ultimately said.
Ben
I think she stood very well for herself. I like that she did not back down in this section. But later when she gets upset, like, they're all coming for me. Well, yeah, I mean, if you say something like that, you have to be prepared to go to the reunion and be ready for her to go on a self righteous terror against you. Because she's going to. And a lot of the audience will join her. And I like that Garcelle is brave enough to be like, it's bullshit. That's why I said it. So she's like, I don't understand the obsession about one of the most traumatic things in me leaf something I suffered terribly for two and a half years. And she goes, well, that's my feeling. And that's the last time I'm gonna talk about it. Well, hallejujah, because you have not stopped talking about it since it happened. She goes, oh, Please. I talked about it twice.
Andy
And you feel it was a setup? Yeah, I do. I feel how I feel. I mean, what am I supposed to do?
Ben
I loved all of this.
Andy
Listen, I've been. I've become an expert in detective movies lately, and my expert self says it's a setup. And so Dorit's like, well, it's based on nothing. Well, I don't want to talk about your finances. It's just my instincts.
Ben
And also, it's not based on nothing. You have a very, very long history with your husband of shady dealing and grifting and not paying people and then break ins and robberies and all this shit seems to always be happening to you. And then even last year, you had that mysterious $10,000 and went missing from your purse. And a target. No, a Home Depot. No. A Home Goods. No. A Marshalls. Come on. It's not based on nothing. It's based on your history, Dorit. And it's not only four people on Twitter who doubted your story. A lot of people still to this day doubt all of your stories because you're full of shit and so is your husband. So that's what it's based on, ma'am.
Andy
Well, I mean, here. I mean, look, she's getting activated because she is interpreting this as you were doubting my trauma. And I don't think anyone doubts the trauma. I think we all believe that she was. Went through a horrific, horrific thing. But I think we all think that there's. There is a chance that, like, she was not aware that this was a setup in some way. Like this was something that there was.
Ben
A lot fishy that went on there. And it's because she. Ghost to say that she. She did that because it was traumatic if it happened. So it is ghost to say it. But people who follow this show and follow the news off of this show would think that it's fishy. It's not the first time they've been robbed. It's not. I mean, it's not crazy to think that this is fishy. Now to say it, I think takes extreme balls. Because even me. And listen, I love deep into this stuff and thinking like, that's not true. That never happened. I love a good conspiracy. Even I was like, I'm not going to go there. Even though of course I think it's fishy. Of course it is, just because of who they are. But I'm still not ready to say it's a lie. I don't know that it's a lie. You know, I don't know if it's.
Andy
A lie either, but. So I'm not going to say fishy. I think fishy.
Ben
Yeah, fishy.
Andy
I think we settle. I think we feel good about. I think the word of the day is fishy. We have decided we're going to. We are going to land in a place of fishiness.
Ben
And in terms of trauma, you got to just give it to the person it doesn't like. It's not a big enough hill to die on for me.
Andy
Right.
Ben
And you say, no, it didn't happen. That's crazy. If that did actually happen to somebody. So even I won't say that. So I actually kind of respected the balls that Garcelle is just like, yeah, maybe Garcelle.
Andy
Maybe Garcelle should have just said, I think it's fishy. Not like it was a setup, but I think it gets fishy. But Dorit is, like, very upset about this. Maybe she's death. Protesting. Protesting too much. Who knows?
Ben
And don't get me wrong, but I'm glad Garcelle said something, and I'm glad how she's standing up for herself. I'm just saying, if you're gonna say it, be prepared because you're gonna get a lot of blowback.
Andy
Right? And again, this is a cast that, like, is very fragile because on Salt Lake city or Potomac or Atlanta or even New Jersey, this is like child's play. It's child's play to say, I think that this break in was a setup like that. That's like, nothing to those. Those casts. But here they're like, how could you?
Ben
Married to medicine. One cast member actually accused another of robbing her home, of setting up people to rob her home. Anila.
Andy
Yes, yes, yes, exactly. So Dorit's like, you can say it so casually, not considering one how it might make me, my husband, our family, our deluxe pack of Pringles feel about this Garcelle, that's absolutely in. That's inconceivable.
Ben
Do you know how the minority help felt about it? Absolutely disgusting of you. And Garcelle's like, well, I'm sorry it hurts you. It's how I feel. And buzz just goes, wow, wow.
Andy
I like ourselves. Like, well, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. It's kind of like, well, you can't argue with that. She's like, I think. I'm sorry, but if I'm wrong, that's my opinion.
Ben
And so Andy's like, so you think it's because the guys gave back the cell phone and she goes, well, yeah. And it was also because I don't put the alarm on at night because the kids run around. I mean, most people's alarm, you can put the alarm on and be in the home. Oh, you think my husband would orchestrate? Have you seen him? He hired Berlin. And Garcelle's like, well, I did say you were your husband. Don't put that in my mouth. Well, you intimated. Well, I did not. I did not. I mean, you did. Gay did. Of course. Who else orchestrated it? I mean, I think the orchestration, the hint, that was. That it was PK who did it was the theory. She did never technically say it.
Andy
Yeah, I, I, I agree. And Garcelle's like, no, I said that. I don't think Dorit knew anything about it. And we see. We do see a flashback of her saying, I don't think the re knew anything about it, but something is going on there. And Garcelle's like, you know what? I'm done talking about it. This is how I feel. And this is how I feel. And Drew's like, well, I'm going to at least tell you how I feel. And she goes, well, I know how you feel because you never shut up. Listen, my husband must be a sociopath and not give a shit about his family whatsoever, that he would send men into a home at night with my children sleeping in the house, and he would put me through that trauma. I mean, the only person who would ever do such a thing would have to be such a severe alcoholic to be so in a not proper place of thinking to do such a thing. And if there's one thing that we know about pk, I can't talk about it, unfortunately. So next question.
Ben
And for Dorit to say, oh, he must be a sociopath, and not give a shit about his family whatsoever. Well, didn't you say that PK never sees the kids? He never calls the kids. When you were at your lowest point going through trauma, he didn't care. He ignored you. He wanted you to shut up. We saw him on camera say, it's more. It's more. It's not even trauma. It's just being annoying or whatever he said on camera. So you've spent a lot of time telling us, and PK is taking a lot of time showing us that he doesn't give a. So, yeah, I don't know what argument you're trying to say, but you've been arguing against yourself for the entire season, painting him as a piece of who doesn't care about his children or you. So.
Andy
So Garcelle was like, was I the only one who felt that way? He says, well, you tell me who else. Four other people from Twitter. And. And girls. I was like, okay, fine. Even though it was like, more than four people.
Ben
For sure, it was a lot more than four people. So Bose is like, well, that's a difficult thing to say without any proof at all. So that has enormous repercussions and it's dangerous to say really, really terrible. She's like, okay, I apologize. Nothing. Zero.
Andy
I mean, zero.
Ben
And then he's like, all right, okay. So I was gonna ask where you stand today, but a few steps forward and a few Pringle cans back, I'm alright.
Andy
So they all get up to go their dressing rooms, and Garcell's like, can I just go home to ox? And so then they all go into their. Their dressing rooms and Sutton is like, well, everybody hates me. Like, everybody. I think I'm gonna start to cry. And Kyle's like, oh, we haven't even started on you yet. Yeah, you're fine.
Ben
Yeah, you have a long reunion ahead of you, ma'am. So Garcelle is upset and Sutton comes to check on her and she's like, look, I'm damned if I do, I'm damned if I don't. I can say how. I can't say how I I feel. I can't say how I, you know, think I have to tiptoe. And I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. Now, look, I agree that this was not great for you, but for. This is kind of the first time Garcelle's really taken heat in a reunion. And at this point, I don't know what happens the rest of the reunion, Right? But at this point, I'm like, buck up, because you're a real housewife. And if you're going to go say that you think someone's robbery was bullshit, you have to be prepared for this. You can't be like, oh, I can't believe it. You know, come on now. Like, stick with it. We're rooting for you. This is kind of a Vanderpump moment where I'm like, I'm rooting for you. Do not. Do not go down. I'm rooting for you. So, yeah, part of me is like, buck up. Get back in the ring and let's go.
Andy
I know they needed someone really tenacious, you know? So I'm about to sneeze. I'm about to sneeze. So you Talk.
Ben
So now we go to Bose and Dorit talking, and they're talking about Garcelle, obviously. And she's like, oh, this Garcelle situation. I mean, this is not casual. We're talking about a crime. Welcome to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, babe. I mean, welcome to Real Housewives in general. This is not unheard of here. And she's like, you can't say those things without repercussions, which I get. And then Garcelle is going like, I'm the bad guy. Goes, oh, don't worry, we're the bad guy. We're the bad guys.
Andy
Well, we're the mean girls, apparently. Oh, we didn't even. We. I think we somehow missed the fact that during when Kyle was getting mad at Garcelle, Kyle had the balls to say, you guys. You and Sutton are mean girls. I could not believe my ears. That was actually the most inflammatory thing I felt like was the entire episode. Because I think Kyle has been waiting to shed that reputation and to push it onto someone else.
Ben
Because that's the most offensive thing anyone has ever said to Kyle, is calling her a mean girl. She's never been able to let it go, and now she's trying to put it on somebody else. No, Kyle, you're still the mean girl.
Andy
She was trying to change that narrative up. And when she tried to do that to Garcelle and Sutton. Is Sutton mean? Yes. Is Garcelle. Can Garcelle be mean? Yes. Are they mean girls? No. You guys are the mean girls. And so when she tried to do that, I. I can't believe we missed that. I think we were in a frenzy because that was, like, definitely peak frenziness for us. But when she said that, I was like, you have to be kidding me. That actually bothered me more than Erica saying that Garcelle was not interested. Because, like, you know, there is a. There is some truth in Erica saying it. Just. We don't feel like Erica should be the one to say it. And also, we don't feel like that should be something that Garcelle should be prosecuted over. However, Kyle calling Sudden and Garcelle mean girls, that was wildly offensive to me.
Ben
So Garcelle's like, well, I'm not taking that on. You can say anything you want, but I'm not taking it because I know who I am. And when she said, be more interesting. Oh, you, Erica, you. Because I'm not going through a divorce because I didn't have criminal activity that I work, that I'm self made, that I Don't have a rich husband, that I wasn't born with the silver spoon in my mouth. Yeah. That's what you need to say out there.
Andy
Yes, say that.
Ben
You don't need to say that in here. You need to say that right to their faces, because those ladies, for saying that to you. And you're absolutely right in this defense. And this is what you need on the stage, man.
Andy
Yeah. This is when it's time for her to shoot the moon.
Ben
She doesn't have a rich husband either. I'm sorry.
Andy
Her. But yeah, shoot the moon on the stage. And as long as you're going down the path, as long as you're doing. You're going to take the role of. I'm gonna the. And now we've said it. Role of. Like, I'm gonna say the thing. I'm gonna say the thing that. I think it might be a setup. I'm gonna say, like, what about Morgan Wade? We're all like, everyone knows about it, but we're not talking about it. I'm gonna say, as long as you do that, then go all the way and bring this energy all the way there. And, like, don't worry about how it might make you look. Don't worry about it being rude, because at this point, you've gone down that path and just confront everyone with the things that they don't want to be confronted with because the audience has your back.
Ben
And I think that there's other things going on here because we. You know, this is the first black woman to ever be on Beverly Hills. And there is a certain. You know, there have been storylines where it's like, she says one thing, you know, and there's micro, not her. You know what I mean? Right. It's an attack or whatever else. And so she's probably not wanting to go too low because she's like, if I keep my composure, the next thing they're going to call me is angry or whatever else they're going to throw at me, you know, like they've done before. So she's. You know, I can see that there's kind of a line that she's walking. So I want to acknowledge that that's there, too. And I guess that would be hard because as a fan, you just want to see her go for it and be like, no, fuck you. You're. You're fucking criminal and your husband's a criminal. And you. When you, Eric, and when you were confronted with what happened to the victims, you said, I don't give a fuck about Anybody but myself. Does that make you more interesting? Does it make you more interesting that you're trying to hold on to diamond earrings like you petty ass that were bought with stolen money that you know was stolen. And that when we said that there are victims and you said, well, we don't know that there are victims, like fuck you is does that make you interesting, you fucking crook? Or you're fucking. But you know, for her to actually go there, you know, that's a bigger choice in her mind because there's repercussions of the ladies and how they're going to treat her and label her after that. So I get how she's probably feeling frustrated and you know, like, you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't. But as a friend, you know, as a friend, as a good friend to Garcelle, as a fan, I really want to see her just let these witches have it.
Andy
Because Erica especially.
Ben
Erica especially. How dare you, ma'am? Oh my God.
Andy
Yeah, that would be really sensational. Anyway, that's it. That was the end of the episode. So this is a good reunion so far. By the way, I would like to say it's been really good and we have more to come next week. So thank you all for being here. We will catch you on the next episode and yeah. Bye everyone.
