Watch What Crappens #2973 – RHOM S7E11 Part Two: Flamencos On The Side of My Face
Main Theme / Purpose This episode is the second half of Ben Mandelker and Ronnie Karam’s deep-dive recap and comedic takedown of The Real Housewives of Miami (RHOM) Season 7, Episode 11. The hosts revel in the drama between Lisa, Larsa, Jody, and the rest of the Miami cast—especially the social-media fueled feud over the infamous “unfollow Marcus” demand, relationship messes, and the accidental self-destruction of Julia’s likability. Set against the backdrop of a “spiritual flamenco” group event and a luxury dinner, Ben and Ronnie mock, analyze, and imitate the Housewives’ latest antics with their signature irreverence and affection for Bravo absurdity.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. The Lisa-Larsa Feud: "Unfollow Marcus"
- Overview: The main catalyst of chaos is Larsa’s insistence that Lisa unfollow her ex-boyfriend, Marcus Jordan (son of Michael Jordan), on Instagram. Lisa resists, and the group divides over whether she’s violating “girl code.”
- Larsa’s Hypocrisy: Gertie/Ben note Larsa was previously ostracized by the Kardashians for refusing to unfollow Kanye West, making her current demands hilarious and ironic.
- Quote: “[Larsa] comes from this world of, like, fame whoring… That’s the only reason she dated Marcus in the first place.” – Gertie, (10:44)
- Quote: “She's not gonna just give this up [following Marcus], but she should… think about the fame whores, guys.” – Gertie, (08:45)
- Group’s Take: Most cast members (and the hosts) agree Lisa should unfollow Marcus, but recognize that Lisa loves proximity to fame.
- Quote: “It's much harder to unfollow someone like Marcus Jordan who has ties to mega stardom…” – Ronnie, (07:40)
- Underlying Power Dynamics: The unfollow demand becomes a power struggle about who controls group loyalty.

- Block Party: Larsa blocks Jody after being overwhelmed by his lengthy texts.
- Gender Double-Standard?: Ronnie wonders if Lisa only objects to women telling her what to do, since “she’s open to hearing things from like, a man” (09:53).
3. Julia’s Fall from Favor (& Ronnie’s Personal Encounter)
- Julia in the Crosshairs: Despite being a fan favorite last season, Julia is now seen as a pot-stirrer, instigating drama on the group trip.

- Ronnie’s BravoCon Story: Ronnie shares a memorable (awkward) encounter with Julia at BravoCon, interpreting her aloofness as a sign of her current TV villainy.

6. Lisa’s Legal Meltdown
