RHOP S10E06: Angel and Demons
Date: November 10, 2025
Hosts: Ben Mandelker & Ronnie Karam
Main Focus: Recap and comedic roast of Real Housewives of Potomac Season 10, Episode 6 ("Angel and Demons") – covering the cast trip to Nevis, failed drama attempts, and the ongoing mess of "audition season" for the new and supporting Housewives.
Episode Overview
Ben and Ronnie dive into episode 6 of RHOP Season 10, reveling in what they label "audition season"—the scramble of new and friend-of Housewives to make an impression. They dissect the group’s tropical getaway, the repeated failed attempts at drama, and the self-sabotaging ways of both new and veteran cast members. As always, expect biting commentary, impersonations, and a strong dose of Bravo love-hate.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. "Audition Season" and the Cast’s Weak Performances
- The hosts repeatedly mock how obvious it is that the new cast members (Jazzy, Kierna, Angel) are trying out for more permanent status, but keep failing to create compelling drama or real connections.
- Quote:
"It is another audition Festivus... who will get cast? Who will have the best fight? Not Jazzy. Let me tell you that. She's trying though." (Ronnie, 05:37)
- Ronnie suggests giving Mia another shot for at least being fun in her messiness, as opposed to the current lackluster batch.
2. Angel: The Eeyore of RHOP
- Ben and Ronnie roast Angel’s constant downbeat energy, labeling her the “Debbie Downer” and likening her to Eeyore/Sad Cartoon archetypes.
- Quote:
"She is such an Eeyore... She just ruins every single scene and potentially even episode. Any time they're having fun, she just ruins it. And I actually am now finding that to be so funny. Like, she is the Debbie Downer and you're waiting for that trumpet to go off, the trombone." (Ben, 08:08)
- The hosts debate (half jokingly) how much grace to extend Angel post-partum, ultimately agreeing that being on Housewives requires, above all, bringing the chaos.
3. Failed Confrontation Attempts and Flimsy Fights
- The dinner scene is described as a sequence of limp "audition" fights:
- Jazzy calling out Kierna for talking about Wendy behind her back, but never revealing what was actually said (12:20–13:29)
- Attempts to generate drama over who said what about whom are cut short or left unresolved, with the hosts describing the efforts as "bad auditions."
- Quote:
"You've tried now, what, three fights in five minutes and they've all failed. This audition is not going well. Even Giselle's failing – and she's the director!" (Ronnie, 18:44)
4. The Shady Shots Bit
- Giselle orchestrates "shady shots" at dinner, using personalized shot glasses to deliver playful or pointed jabs ("Duchess Darby" for Ashley, "step mama" for Jazzy; then leaves Stacy’s blank).
- The hosts laugh at the forced nature of the bit, and Giselle's tireless efforts to keep things interesting.
- Quote:
"Just bring me shots with people's names on it so I could diss them again because I'm earning my paycheck. Okay, it's year eight or it's year six. Let's do this." (Ronnie, 15:14)
5. The Group Confrontation: Giselle, Kierna, and Wendy
- On the yacht, Giselle leads a forced confrontation about whether Kierna hates her—tracing back to a much older disagreement that Kierna tries to re-litigate.
- Giselle "high-maintenance friend" branding:
- Quote:
"For you to think I should call you when my father passed away is ... that makes you a high maintenance friend." (Giselle, 30:36)
- Quote:
- Tia chimes in with tears, relating the loss of her own father, which the hosts mock as yet another Housewives "compare tragic backstories" moment.
6. Lighthearted Yacht and Villa Scenes – and Production Filler
- The hosts note a rise in "post-production filler"—silly graphics, costumes, and choreographed fun to pad out the episode due to snoozy group dynamics.
- Ronnie: "I'm hoping this is not a sign of things to come… I'm hoping Eric, the ghost of Eric Fuller, has not resurfaced." (18:44)
- Later, they roll their eyes at the extended bachelorette "slutty" dress-up party for its lack of real content (55:54–58:14).
7. The Angel vs. Jazzy Drama—Attempting (and Failing) to Stick a Landing
- After dinner, off-camera, Angel and Jazzy have a heated fight that becomes partially audible in a van ride, where Angel unloads insults ("snaggle tooth, stringy haired, hot piece of trash," 54:15).
- The subsequent group discussion tries to unpack Angel’s paranoia about being “investigated” and rumors about her past with Bobby.
- Ben points out Angel is playing "Survivor" in her head while everyone else isn’t even playing checkers (66:16).
- Ronnie: "She's just not very good at this, I think. Sometimes it's just as simple as that." (67:30)
8. Jazzy & Stacy: Bridesmaid Gate
- An amusing detour about Stacy declining to be in Jazzy’s wedding ("for family reasons" and to support her burgeoning CBD business for her daughter).
- Both hosts agree Stacy's excuse is suspect—but also valid, as nobody wants to be an unpaid laborer in a wedding for a distant friend (39:04–41:04).
- Quote:
"She’s slapping her name on a weed collab ... What are you talking about? ... I'm giving Arabella a collab. Weed as her legacy." (Ronnie, 39:04)

On Angel’s defeatist energy:
"She is the Debbie Downer and you're waiting for that trumpet to go off, the trombone... It's so predictable so that like, you're almost waiting for her to be like, 'Well, as a wag. I don't think you guys understand. I don't know if I like you right now.' Like, oh, come on, Angel." – Ben (08:08) -
On Giselle playing producer:
"Just bring me shots with people's names on it so I could diss them again because I'm earning my paycheck. Okay, it's year eight or it's year six. Let's do this." – Ronnie (15:14) -

Noteworthy Observations & Running Jokes
- Cartoon Analogies: Ronnie and Ben liken Angel’s energy to Bugs Bunny refusing to be funny, and Roadrunner giving up—a sign of how housewives can drain the show when not participating.
- Postpartum Discussion: The hosts attempt seriousness regarding Angel's possible postpartum, but ultimately default to the “Bring the Drama or Bye!” Housewives ethos.
- Filler Content: Both bemoan recurring overuse of Bravo's on-screen graphics, jokes, theme parties, and production tricks to pad out snooze-fests.

Conclusion
This episode of Watch What Crappens encapsulates why Potomac is such a unique Housewives franchise—even when the drama fumbles, the commentary brings the fun. Ben and Ronnie’s recap is part roast, part group therapy for Bravo fans eager to see new talent rise to the occasion. Unfortunately, with “audition season” in full swing, the verdict is that most newbies are more memorable for their mistakes than their potential. Angel fails upward into meme status, Jazzy’s effort is valiant but unconvincing, and the overall cast is called out for letting interesting fights slip away. The anticipation is now set for Monique’s return—and hopefully, a return to high-octane drama.
For Listeners Who Missed the Episode
- The group trip is more about failed drama and filler than major explosions.
- Angel's gloomy storyline and self-sabotage were highlights in unintentional comedy.
- The old guard (Giselle, Ashley, Karen) keep the heartbeat going, while much of the new blood fizzles.
- Next week promises a shake-up with Monique’s return (and Goselle’s bodyguard, plus Ashley’s Drag King alter ego).
