Overview

In this episode, Ben and Ronnie recap "The Real Housewives of Potomac," Season 10, Episode 11. With their hallmark wit and snark, they dig into the cast's trip to a women's polo event, escalating drama around housing scandals, intra-cast tensions, and a hilarious array of tangents about opera divas, real estate apps, and classic Housewife messiness. The recap is filled with their signature Bravo love-roasting and pop culture observations.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. All About the Polo Event (05:00–15:00)

• The episode opens with the Housewife ladies, led by Tia, heading off to a polo match sponsored by her real estate company DDR Sotheby.
• Ronnie (06:14) jokes about Bravo’s sudden horse content boom:

  "Big horse season on Bravo... Bravo wants you to get a horse. Salt Lake City talking about buying horses. Everybody is into horses."

• Tia brings her brother to the event, expressing nerves about mixing her Real Housewives cast mates with her professional circle:

  "You are taking Real Housewives to a work event. Have we ever seen that? … I would not take a bunch of housewives to a work event." (07:10)

• Predictable shade begins immediately, with the cast dubious about the prospect of behaving at a "no nonsense" outing.

2. Shade, Exclusions, and Social Dynamics (08:34–11:55)

• The lack of invitation to Stacy is rehashed; flashbacks show Stacy’s recent exclusion from events and the growing pile of alleged lies attributed to her.
• Ben pokes fun at the double standards in holding castmates to account:

  "The number of…white lies Stacy tells…don’t even compare to anything Karen has done over the years, nor Mia and Ashley… Maybe part of it is freshman hazing." (24:53)

3. Polo Antics & Social Commentary (12:20–23:57)

• The contrast between the predominantly Black Housewife cast and the sea of "Mitch McConnell-looking" white men at the event is a running gag.
• Memorable bit (13:04):

  "Ashley is like—look at all these Mitch McConnell types. Wow. There's a decrepit old Gollum. Here's my number."

• The women perform "Lift Every Voice and Sing" for the crowd. The hosts snark on the musical attempt and reflect on opera singers, leading to a long, campy sidebar about opera legends and Ronnie's mistaken encounter with someone he thought was David Foster.

4. New Housewife Hazing – Angel’s Alienation (27:51–33:38)

• Angel, the “newbie,” discusses with Ashley how she needs more inclusion; the other women, notably Ashley, quickly spin this into Angel “not trying hard enough.”
• Ben breaks down Housewives social etiquette:

  "Is the onus on the group to get to know the newbie, or the new person to go above and beyond? … I think you gotta do a little bit more of the legwork than they have to do the legwork. Just in terms of Housewives politics." (29:27)

• Ultimately, both hosts think Angel is out of her depth, and Ashley’s tactics only increase group discomfort.

5. The Eviction Scandal—Angel's Housing Saga (33:38–46:48)

• Major storyline: Angel is packing up to leave her Potomac rental unexpectedly—was her lease up, or was it a shady move to time her stint with production?
• Ronnie jokes (34:49):

  "This guy is so cute, but his manners…like, babe, we're on TV. I just sometimes I think on these shows, like, what would I do if that was my husband?"

• The hosts speculate on whether production schemed to create this crisis, and why Angel, supposedly so wealthy, doesn’t just hire movers or sort out a proper lease.
• Tia races to inform Giselle, knowing full well that a housing scandal is Housewives gold:

  "She's reported to Satan. … She's chosen to be on the devil's side for whatever reason." (46:27)

6. Real Estate Shade & Housewives Conspiracies (41:56–44:02)

• The irony that Tia, a realtor, was never involved in Angel’s search, and Angel’s husband complaining about using Zillow, is milked for maximum humor.
• The hosts spiral into a meta-discussion on Zillow vs. Realtor.com, and what “real” rich people do.

7. Potomac Domestic Life—Wendy's Family & Renovations (50:42–54:19)

• The recap closes with Wendy’s home story: exorbitant renovations, impending financial worries, and her complexities with family dynamics.
• Ronnie jests about the recurring theme:

  "Do we think this was already her storyline, or do you think Bravo…edited in these little scenes and moments just to sort of…"

Notable Quotes & Moments

Bravo’s Horse Craze
Ronnie (06:14):

"Huge horse season. I think Bravo this season was like, 'Guys, guess what we’re doing to close out 2025? Horses. Every show.'"

On the Polo Crowd's Demographics
Ben (12:25):

"All these like Mitch McConnells are just like, 'Whoa, look at this.'"

Ashley’s Faux-Concern Instigating
Ben (24:43):

"Which means she’s going to spring a trap for Stacy to step in and make Stacy look bad. I think that's what’s going to happen next."

On Being a Housewife Newbie
Ben (29:27):

"If you are new to a group, is it on the people already in the group to get to know the newbie…or is it on the new person…to go and meet? It’s like you’re the new pledge in the sorority…you gotta do a bit more legwork."

Ronnie’s Take on Packing Scandal
Ronnie (44:48):

"Why are you making your friends pack that? … I would be pissed. I’d be like, 'Bye, I gotta go to that hospital and check myself in for a coma that I’m coming into right now.'"

Conspiracy Corner—Was Angel Set Up?
Ben (39:54):

"My conspiracy is production says, what if we tell Angel they only need [the house] for this long…so it creates this situation…a great controversy to go into the last act of the season."

Reporting to Housewives Satan (i.e., Giselle) Ronnie (46:27):

"Tia is a mess, and she's chosen to be on the devil's side for whatever reason. So she's reported to Satan. Yeah."

Final Thoughts and Tone

Ben and Ronnie keep things snarky, irreverent, and full of Bravo meta-humor, poking fun not only at the cast's antics but the broader franchise’s repeated tropes. Their comedic detours—ranging from opera legends to child literary heroes—underscore the affectionate absurdity at the heart of both The Real Housewives and their signature Crappens recaps.

[A]

It's a lot of going live this evening, but right now we are doing the Real Housewives of Potomac season 10, episode 11, Lisa's up, giddy up.

[B]

Yes. And we open up at Tia's house and she's gathering things together and she's.

[C]

Like, okay, Papa, do you want to help me take these items to the car?

[B]

And she's just basically asking her son to bring stuff to the car because she will be hosting some sort of polo event for the ladies to go to.

[A]

Big horse season. Big horse season On Sunday nights. We've got the last horse thing they did where they watched horses run around in a circle. Today they're going to watch horses. Do the polo thing on Mary Medicine. We had the, the polo party, whatever the hell that was. Lots of horses, guys. It's a big. It's big. Bravo wants you to get a horse. Salt Lake City talking about buying horses. Everybody is into horses. Vanderpump rules. They're taught that girl has a horse named Oreo. Huge horse season. I think Bravo this season was like, guys, guess what we're doing to close out 20, 25? We're talking horses. Every show. Does NBCU just raise horses and they need to sell some. What's happening?

[B]

Well, I do think that NBC is the network partner for Kentucky Derby, so that all makes sense now. But, yeah, horses are like, so in. Horses are very on trend for Bravo.

[A]

They're like, big right now.

[B]

Yeah, horses are like, amazing. So, yeah, she's going to be doing this, this polo event thing and her brother is joining Deiji and she tells us.

[C]

My company, DDR Sotheby, sponsors an all women's polo team, which is quite special. And I felt like, why not do a polo event in Nigeria? My cousin played polo and I like to wear a polo shirt every now and then. And it was a major part of my social scene. And it's still there and still, like a massive thing to do. So you have to, like, you know, you know, like you have proper serious polo players then. I wasn't one of them, of course.

[A]

Yeah. And then she's talking to her brother and she's like, are you excited to meet my friends?

[D]

And please do not embarrass me.

[A]

You need to worry about your friends embarrassing you. You are taking Real Housewives to a work event. Have we ever seen that? Who does that? Because this is like a work event. Because her Sotheby's place or whatever or real estate place sponsors this team. I would not take a bunch of housewives to a work event. I mean, I would because I work for Watch what Happens. But, yeah, well, in general, I wouldn't suggest it.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Like, you know, it's. It's always a bit of a risk when you do that.

[A]

Accusing the horses of things. You never know. Giselle making up lies on people, bringing up shade.

[B]

I would love Stacy as like a. As like a polo commentator. Talk about horses, talk about competition, talk about a small ball being hit by a mallet, talk about penises, talk about.

[A]

Length, talk about girth, talk about luxury.

[B]

So, yeah, so Tia tells us that her brother lives in Long island and so she invited him and that they, you know, they were very Close. Growing up. And she talks about, like, her family. And she has one brother who's really older, and they're younger, small. Like, they. Not smaller. They're younger and smaller. No, but they. They grew up close in age, so they were very close.

[A]

Yeah. So now people are arriving and high, highing each other on the sprinter van. And Kieran is like, tia, you need to lay down the law with ladies because they do not know how to act.

[D]

Sometimes it's like, oh, but guess what? We want to be. We want it to be exciting. So little shade, little shade. Don't snatch any ponytails.

[A]

And so, you know, Ashley's like, it's so nice. We're all here until you start. Ashley, you're going to start in about two seconds, as you always do, you know, which I guess is her job.

[B]

Yeah, she's going to start shit with a horse. She'll be like.

[E]

So I hear that, like, you haven't been totally honest about, like, your polo skills.

[B]

The horse will be like, excuse me, ma'. Am. So Tia's like, hey, guys, I just.

[C]

Want to say thank you for coming. You'll meet a lot of my colleagues and my clients, future former clients. Which is why I was like, I cannot afford to have some nonsense going on.

[B]

I'm like, so you invite Ashley, but not Stacy? I mean, I understand Tia and Stacy don't get along, but, like, let's be honest, like, like, I. There's gonna be nonsense. I was actually shocked that there wasn't more nonsense at the polo match.

[A]

Well, yeah, and I get that you're going to one job, but you're also going to that job while working another job where nonsense is your job. So to be like, hey, guys, let's have a work scene that's about no nonsense. No. What are we supposed to watch horses fucking run around? No, that's not what this show is. Horse run around, lady. That's not what I want to see. No one's paying you for this. So she, of course, didn't invite Stacy.

[D]

Because I was kicked out of an event for the very first time in my life.

[A]

So we see a cut back to that where Face, he's like, toodle do, toodle.

[B]

Do you know, I've.

[C]

I've heard so much about the lies in the web, and now I'm. I'm in the web. I'm like, Sandra Block in 1996, caught in the web.

[B]

And Jazzy's like, well, to be honest, I'm gonna need some solid proof that that girl. That my girl's a liar.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

And now she says, well, so did.

[E]

You know that she wasn't going to come to your wedding until she knew that Wendy and I were coming to your wedding?

[B]

Which, by the way, I don't think that's like, I'm sorry. Maybe I'm going to just like step into. We'll find a way to make an excuse for Stacy. But if it's like, hey, there's this random wedding for a coworker that's like, we have to fly to. I don't remember where it was. Was it like in Missouri or something like that? I don't know. They had to fly to Texas. It was in Texas, like my coworker, who I get along with, but like, I don't know anyone who's going to be there. I don't know if I'm going to go. Oh, you guys are going to go, okay, cool. I'll go to. I don't think that's a crazy thought process to have.

[A]

Yeah, I don't either. But, you know, it's. It's Ashley. So she's gonna try and make a fight out of anything. And so Jazzy's like, well, do you think that's true? Because she told me she had to move a lot of things around in order to be there.

[D]

And now she's like, okay, okay, babe. Well, okay. You'll see. You'll see what evil Stacy is really like.

[A]

Ashley, would you be going to this polo thing if there weren't cameras there? Would anybody be going anywhere on the show if there weren't cameras there? No.

[B]

Yeah. Exactly how many people do you think showed up to your nebulous GNA branded events just because they actually wanted to go to it? No, people go, cuz there's cameras. That's just. That's the name of the game. It's the job.

[A]

Yeah. No one was like, offering to go to your sports where slash. Brain. Brain issues function. That doesn't even make sense without there being cameras there. Okay. So Giselle's like, well, no shade to the horses. But I'm not really here for all of this. I'm here for the food and the champagne. So now we get there and it's all like old white guys.

[B]

Yeah. And they, they're kind of like, whoa, whoa, whoa. And Wendy is. Wendy's like, tia, you're bringing the color. Tia. Tia brought the color. Child, you brought the color. Because all the. All these like Mitch McConnell's are just like, whoa, look at this.

[A]

It's a bunch of Mitch McConnells there are a lot, right? When you think there's a shortage of kind of turtle faced white guys, here they are.

[B]

Will there ever be a shortage?

[A]

They just making them.

[B]

So Wendy's like, you know what? I'm going to enjoy this event because this is what Ashley is going to find. The second husband. I mean, her words, not mine. It's. But it's. You know, they could have been our words. I mean, it's true. Ashley is like. She has a lady boner.

[E]

She's like, wow, look at all these Mitch McConnell types. Wow. There's a decrepit old Gollum. Here's my number.

[D]

Nothing turns me on like an old male waddle.

[A]

She's ready to rumble.

[E]

Is that Lindsey Graham?

[A]

Yes.

[D]

Lady Graham. Lady Graham.

[A]

So Giselle's like, we should. Because they're gonna sing the black. Well, they're gonna sing the national anthem. So Giselle's like, national anthem? Ma, can we do that?

[D]

And Ashley's like, is there a black national anthem?

[B]

Ashley asked that.

[A]

It's in the notes.

[B]

Wow. No, no, I'm just saying that's. That's just. That's wild. So they sang it and Tia's like.

[C]

Well, we have the opportunity to sing national anthem. And I was like, okay, well, we've got two singers. We've got angel, who's an opera trained.

[B]

Singer, which I did not know that about Angel. And then we see her, she's like, you know, I guess I would have known that if we had taken the time to get to know Angel. So I apologize.

[A]

Yeah, Ben, take some time to get to know angel. And you would know she's like a very mediocre opera singer because that her voice sounded nice, but it did not sound like a trained opera singer voice.

[B]

You know, Jesse A.B. norman. That's what it is.

[A]

It was very. Yeah, it was very airy. I don't know how to say it, but still.

[B]

Going through my opera singers, I'm like Renee. Lots of Fleming in the throat. Okay, guys, running dry.

[A]

Angel. Parv. Shut the fuck up.

[B]

Parv. Ar. Naughty. Carol. No finesse.

[A]

I'm out. I don't really know that many.

[B]

This is a tough area for us.

[A]

We're not the most intelligent gays. We're not like, we're not like glitterati gays where we know opera singers and stuff. That is a shame.

[B]

Wouldn't be great to know opera singers.

[A]

My favorite opera scene, my favorite opera performance of all time was when Parvat. Parvati. Why am I. You know that girl from Survivor? Yes. She ruined. How I say Pavarotti. Her stupid name ruined my pronunciation. So anyway, it also ruined Parvati cheese. And she's really messed with my head, that lady. But my favorite opera performance was when Pavarotti got sick and couldn't perform at the Grandees. The Grandees, The Grammys. What's wrong with me? I'm not stoned. And Aretha was there, and, like, I can do Nesm Dorma. I'll do it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And they're like, really? You don't need rehearsal or anything? She's like, no, I know it. And she came out there. I still have it on my itunes. It was amazing. I'll still cry. I will still cry.

[B]

You know, Placido Domingo's like, daughter. I think it was his daughter used to live.

[A]

Oh, it's Placido Domingo. What now?

[B]

His, like, daughter or, like, stepdaughter or some sort of, like, some child that was related to Placio Domingo used to live in my apartment building. And I would go. We had a pool on the top. It was very la. There's a pool on top of the building. And she'd be up there tanning. And she'd be like, oh, my father, you know, he has always been traveling the world. And she was just. She would just complain about Placido Domingo to, like, you just hear her, because you'd always be talking to someone on a lounge chair. But you just. You'd sit there and you, like, if I cared about Placido Domingo tea, it would have been the best thing in the world. But of course, I didn't, so I retained none of it. But it was like, every single day you'd go up there, she'd be like, oh, you know, my father, he, like, doesn't even pay attention to me because, you know, like, he's opera singer. And, you know, it's like, oh, really? I love that you would ever expect.

[A]

I love that he ignored his children. He's like, whatever. I have some offer to sing. Raise yourself.

[B]

This is the same pool where Lala and Jasmine from the Valley once went there and talked about Faith. Faith. So, like, I got all the gossip between Faith and Placido Domingo. That pool had all the good.

[A]

Well, that's why Placido Domingo doesn't respect his daughter. He went to visit her one time, and he's like, you're spending my money on this? On a pool? With Lala badmouthing Faith, they never really gave Faith a chance. Let me tell you something. No one really ever took the time to get to know FiIice.

[B]

What a world. What a world. That these concepts.

[A]

My daughter will do a jackknife. She's about to do a jackknife. I don't know how to do a jackknife. Father lose sir. My daughter is a do. Sir. He hated his daughter. I don't blame him. She sounds like a monster.

[B]

Imagine if I just heard it wrong. Imagine if I just heard it wrong. All these years and I'm. It was like just a regular. Like a regular lady who had issues with her dad, but for some reason, I just had this concept that was Placido Domingo.

[A]

Well, it sounds like something I would do. A few weeks ago, I was out to dinner with our friend Hannah and her husband, and we were at this place in Studio City, and I was like, oh, look, David Foster's here. That's weird. I mean, it was a nice restaurant, but I was like, david Foster, who's that lady he's with? She's so age appropriate. It's so weird. And then the whole time, the husband was like, oh, my God, David Foster's here. David Foster's here. And he's telling Hannah, and Hannah's like, I don't think that's David Foster. Sure enough, they brought a candle. They brought, like, a firework candle. You know, one of those. That's like a Roman candle. It's like. And it was like, a lot of light in his face. And I was like, that is not David Foster. I'm so sorry. But we spent an hour and a half. I literally talked shit about David Foster. I was like, that guy's a monster. You should have seen how he was to his wife on that show. And then he married some ch. Child from American Idol. I don't trust him. Never trust him. Oh, and I heard him on the smart list podcast. What a jerk. What a jerk. Claiming to make everything in the world. Not even giving Whitney credit for anything. You know, it's just going off. And then it was just some innocent guy, you know? And you know why? Because he had old man waddle face. Like we're seeing at this event right now, where you just don't. After. After a while, you just don't know.

[B]

I. I also. I just want to say I had a moment where I got scared because I was. I looked it up, and Placido Domingo has no daughters.

[A]

Is that true? Oh, no.

[B]

Then. But I looked up Placio Domingo granddaughter, and she came right on up, I have to say.

[A]

And a grandfather's allowed to ignore you. He's not your parents.

[B]

I Don't know. I don't know if I. Honestly, I don't know if he ignored her. I was just making that up. It was like that kind of gossip, but it wasn't. It wasn't like, I. I just don't remember the details because who remembers Placido Domingo, details like that? But just like, I just remember Gay.

[A]

Which is the point. We don't know. And we probably just ruined a perfectly good family relationship. I know Placido's on his way to Italy right now listening to Crappens, catching up on his SLC recaps. And he's like, how dare you? I'm leaving you a voice. Not because I'm in the air. You're cut off from my money, you stupid, stupid.

[B]

Yeah, she also had huge boobs, I have to say.

[D]

It's time for a commercial.

[A]

It's time for a crappin's commercial. So now we're going back to this party thing. And she's like, yeah, we've got angel, who's a trained singer, and then we've.

[D]

Got Ashley, who is a singer.

[B]

And so two weeks ago, Tia, Giselle, Angel, Ashley and Kiara are all hanging out.

[C]

And Tia's like, by the way, there's an opportunity to sing the national anthem.

[E]

Angel, I wanted to know if you.

[C]

Would like to sing the national anthem that day.

[B]

And she was like, as a football wife, I've had the privilege of being able to see the national anthem so many times. So. Yes, that's very sweet of you. And Ash is like, we didn't consider me.

[A]

It's like, I did consider you and.

[D]

I still consider you a terrible singer. So. No, only group songs. Fashley.

[B]

So they are going to sing. Lift every voice and sing. And he's like, oh, lovely.

[C]

Well, I knew it wasn't going to be a Grammy Award performance, but it would be a performance nonetheless.

[B]

So the ladies get introduced and they sing like. Like four of them sing together, like Giselle, Angel, Ashley and Kiara. And Wendy's like, acting as conductor. And the crowd's like, wow, look at this. And they're all like, you know, everyone's very happy.

[A]

And the guys are like, wow, Dream Girls. My favorite musical.

[D]

And I'm telling you, I'm not going.

[A]

That's for sure. I don't know where.

[B]

Yeah, so it definitely like, they're. They. The old white guys were definitely like.

[D]

Wowee, I love you.

[E]

And Wicked.

[A]

Looks different without the nails.

[C]

So Tia's like, well, I had my back turned to the people. I don't know what Their faces were like. And I don't know if they were singing to the song, but if they knew the words. And I don't know the words, but I'm going to learn the words because I never want to be left out of that again. And I mean, we look beautiful. Damn it.

[D]

Right?

[A]

So it starts and Tia gets to throw in the ball. And now Kay is spraying herself with perfume. And she's like, this is good. It smells like outside. I don't want to smell like the outside. Whenever Bueller comes in from the outside, I'm like, why does the outside make you smell like this?

[B]

But maybe it smelled like fresh cut lawn. Which fresh cut lawn smells nice, right? Do not like.

[A]

I don't want to smell like it.

[B]

You don't like fcl Fresh cat lawn. Hi.

[A]

I wore sweaters to smell like that. Like, you smell like damp grass.

[C]

Well, not.

[B]

You want damp grass. You want.

[A]

You want fresh fall damp when it's cut because it's. It's wet. It's water. It's a water based thing. Grass.

[B]

The grass puree grass. Am I right, guys? So Angel's like, it smells good. Smells very good. And Kieran's like, yeah, she's. Canada's hot right now. She's hot. So then the guy, the. The managing broker from Sotheby's comes by and he invites the women to go stomp the divots. So they all go do it. It's all very pretty woman, like, but Wendy is like, confounded by this process. She's like, I mean, why are we stomping this on the field? Why are we walking out on the. This is stupid. I think about it, it's kind of a hilarious con that, that the polo, the polo industry has, has performed on all these people to make them go walk amongst the. To fix their field.

[A]

Yeah, I really did like, though, when she goes, we have to stop the divots. Don't y' all pay people for this? Like, she's just at this. She's just at the cheapest match of all time. So she's not liking it because she's wearing white. Okay. And Giselle's like, make sure you don't step in the poop. Y' all. Make sure. So then Jazzy is telling Ashley. Oh, Ashley. So first of all, thank you for coming to my wedding. Roll the clips. Roll the clips of my wedding. It was televised event, televised event for all the clips.

[D]

Okay?

[A]

Let's give it about 10 minutes to get through those clips. Pretty big event. Okay.

[B]

Because no, it did Set me back a little bit when it was even a question on if Stacy's coming to the wedding. Because it wouldn't have been a question if it. If it was her wedding now. She's.

[A]

Yeah. She would have shown up to her own wedding, of course.

[B]

Yeah. Well, we think. We'd like to think Ashley says.

[E]

Yeah, I mean, you wouldn't even blinked because, you know, it was interesting because Stacey and I actually had, like, a really good time at your wedding.

[B]

I'm like, yeah, because you weren't trying to start with her, because Giselle wasn't there. Yeah.

[A]

And she's like.

[D]

And there's, like, glimpses of her, and, you know, I think that we could be friends. But then she goes and does this other stuff that just compounds the bad stuff.

[A]

And Jazzy is like, well, I've never questioned my. My relationship with Stacy, but now I'm going to, because Ashley told me to at a polo match.

[B]

Okay, I'm sorry.

[C]

The.

[B]

The number of, like. Like, little white lies that Stacy tells, those, I think, don't even compare to anything that Karen has done over the years, nor do they compare to, like, Mia and Ashley never held those women to the same sort of, you know, accountability that she is with Stacy. Maybe part of it. Freshman hazing.

[C]

I mean, they.

[B]

No, they. They needled them for sure, and they would, like, give them. But, like, they showed up to Karen's.

[A]

House as pizza men. Remember when they dressed up.

[B]

I know that they've. They poke holes in Karen's stories and that they. They with Karen. But, like, there's kind of a sense with. With Stacy that they're almost, like, trying to, like, not ice her out. But there's, like, a. There's. They're, like, bothered by Stacy in a way that they were, like, bemused by Karen, if you know what I'm saying.

[A]

Yeah. You know, maybe Karen got more respect just because she's an og. But, I mean, I feel like they call people out on their lies all the time. I just think it's getting tiring. It's like, move it along, you know, like, let's move it along. Now we're. We're on episode 11, and we're still talking about this, and it's just not compelling enough. Like, Stacy's lies aren't compelling enough, I think, to. To make this much storyline, but they're gonna still keep going for it, you know, so God bless them. Our job is to support them. So, Stacy. We see a flashback back to where Stacy and Jazzy had lunch a couple Months ago. And Stacy's like, I don't think I've.

[D]

Been a very good friend to you.

[A]

And I pride myself on my friendships.

[D]

And I love you.

[A]

And so Jazzy's like, yeah, well, there's no way that Stacy told these girls that she wasn't coming to my wedding or anything like that. I just don't believe it. But she's starting to. She is starting to believe it. They're starting to turn her with all the zero evidence that they have.

[B]

Yeah, exactly. And Ashley is like, well, I just.

[E]

Hope she doesn't do anything to violate your trust. I really do.

[B]

Which means that she's going to spring a trap for Stacy to step in and make Stacy look bad. I, I. I think that's what's going to happen next.

[A]

So fall right into it.

[B]

And she will st. She'll just.

[A]

She'll just fall right into it.

[B]

You don't even have to, like, you don't even have to hide, like, you know, like, the. In the. The net, in the jungle, like, you know, some sort of like. Like. Like some berries or whatever and everything. Like something like, whatever. Yeah, they don't have to. She'd be like, look at this beautiful netting. It's absolutely gorgeous. Let me get a closer look. Oh, I'm caught in the net now. Well, this is unfortunate.

[A]

You don't even have to put cheese in the trap. She'll just walk right up to the trap and be like, what a glorious plate.

[D]

You could use it for cheese.

[A]

Look, it could go right here.

[B]

Oh, look at the craft work in this. Look at the metallurgy that they've done here. Look at the way they've crafted these bars to be shaped ever so gently.

[D]

Ow.

[B]

It closed on my finger. But how beautifully it did. So.

[A]

So now Tia is asking everybody if they had fun, and Ashley's like, well.

[D]

I think we're getting back to a good place, which means it's time for me to start some. Angel, something you had mentioned to us is that you felt like we weren't really making an effort to include you into the group. Everyone is dying to hear what angel thinks. Angel, as the person that the audience is most focused on right now, please say something.

[A]

So Angel's just nodding like, yeah, I did say that. It would have been nice if you got to know me.

[B]

Yeah. Because we have a flashback to two weeks ago of angel saying, well, I think that, like, not. I think that not knowing me and not knowing you ladies, the olive branch. Just a quick text would have made me feel a little Bit more included. I don't even remember what that the context of that flashback was. It's just funny that yet again, they have new unaired footage of angel wanting to be. Wanting to be known. If you really wanted to get to know me, you would have sent a text. It's like, oh, God, Angel.

[A]

Oh, Angel. And so Ashley's like, ashley's gonna turn it on her now. So she's like, remember when you said.

[D]

You wanted to get to know us? Well, this would have been a good opportunity. Maybe you could have spent a little more time with other ladies.

[A]

And they're like, oh, so you're saying that she didn't do that today?

[D]

She's like, she didn't do it today.

[A]

And Angel's like, oh, okay. Well, I hear you. And that will happen. That's definitely gonna happen. I will. Next time we're at a polo match, I will concentrate more on getting to know you, Ashley.

[B]

Yeah. So I guess it sounds like angel just pretty much hung out with Kierna the whole time. It sounds like Kieran is really the.

[D]

The.

[B]

The ball and chain in this situation. Right. Like, it seems like when Kieran is around, angel feels like she just can't really talk to other people, and so she just sort of, like, lingers around her. And then they're. People on the Internet are calling them sadness and madness from inside out. And so, I mean, it's interesting, like, if you think about it, like, theoretically, you know, if you are new to a group, is it. Is the onus on the people who are already in the group to get to know the newbie, to make overtures, to make them feel welcome, or is it on the new person to, like, go above and beyond, to, like, go and meet the. It's like. It's like you're the new pledge or you're the new new pledge in the sorority, and, like, you have to go and meet your new older sisters? I think probably it's a mixture of both. But, you know, in this case, like, you're the newbie, and you. You gotta. I think you gotta do a little bit more of the legwork than they have to do the legwork. Just in terms of, like, housewives, politics.

[A]

Yeah. She's just too sensitive because when she has tried to do the legwork and they start dissing her every time, then she's like, well, why would I want to make an effort with these women who are always trying to start some mess with me, even in my own home? Like, why would I? I'll just hang out with my friend. Which makes sense.

[B]

Which is in the real world. Makes sense. Yeah.

[A]

Like you're on a housewife show and they're supposed to be giving you some mess. So. Yeah, I just think it's, it's, it just boils down to, like, you're not really ready for this. You know, you need more. Well, in an oven or a different batter. Maybe different batter. Before you even go in the oven, you needed just a different chef.

[B]

Maybe, maybe, maybe a different, like foil.

[A]

You're not a baked product. Sometimes you just need to accept that you're not a baked product. You know, you're like, that's just in your cantaloupe. That's it. You just stay in.

[B]

All this time section. Yeah. All this time we thought you were cookie batter. Turns out you're a smoothie. Sorry.

[A]

Yeah, no one's gonna paint you. So she is saying, you know, this one side interaction with these ladies, I mean, they want me to have my hat in my hand. I mean, please, please. I mean, it's just not who I am. And it's, you know, it was a great time. And she ended it on a sour note, which I agree with too. It's like we finally had a day where Angel's just enjoying everybody and everybody's just being fine. And Ashley has to make it. She has to other her again. So, like, while angel sucks, Ashley also makes life really uncomfortable for people and.

[D]

Then is like, why are you uncomfortable, babe? Maybe you're not a girl's girl.

[B]

Yeah. And, you know, the other thing is, I'm sorry, I'm just still thinking about this angel thing is that for her, like, if you're, if you're also, if you've been on the show a long time, there's always new people. And it probably is exhausting to have to like, put the energy to get to know someone new. And then they're not going to be there a whole season. Or they probably just can smell it in the water that she's going to be a one season housewife, most likely. And they're like, what's even the point? And the thing that sucks for angel is that they don't need to recruit her for any sort of ruing war. All the, all the incumbents are kind of getting along and the people who are on the outs, it's like Kieran is on the outs, Stacy's sort of on the outs. But no one needs to like, gather any people for their personal armies. It's not like Giselle needs to recruit an ally to Go against Karen right now. So they're all kind of sitting pretty. They don't need to get to know her and they don't need to use.

[A]

Her in any proxy wars.

[B]

So they're like, yeah, no proxy was happening.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. So Angel's trying to be positive, and she's like, well, listen, I'm very excited to spend some one on time with everybody, Even the non wags and, you know, look, even Ms. Wendy. Even Wendy. We're gonna be all right, Wendy. Yeah, we're gonna be all right. And now she's jazzy, goes, are you gonna be all right, Wendy? And Wendy's just like. She's just like, still trying to clean off her shoes. Like, what the.

[D]

What are divots?

[B]

I know. I think what drives me nuts about. About angel is the way she's always proposing that this will happen at some point. Like, well, you're gonna get to know me. Don't you worry. I'm gonna have some one on one time. It's gonna happen. I'm like, this is like episode 11, lady. Yeah, you should get like, it's. You better get. Get to some one on ones already.

[A]

Well, listen, nothing bonds people like favors needed. And so now angel needs people to pack up boxes for her. Why? I don't know. Because she's rich. So normally rich people are like, pack my boxes for me. Employees or. Yeah, hired help. But for whatever reason, angel has just gathered some Amazon boxes and the ladies to do it for her. So she has some ladies over and she is packing her boxes. And at first I was very confused because the music was so dramatic. It shows like a packing box and it's like, dun, dun, dun. And then it shows like a shirt thrown over a box. It's like. But it's because Angel's getting kicked out of her house.

[B]

Yes. She's like. She's talking to Bobby and she's like, I just can't believe it that we're going back to Colorado. And he's like, yeah, the sun sucks. She goes, yeah, it does suck having to be out of here early. I mean, unexpectedly. I was so pissed off. I know you're mad too. It's a. It's annoying. And he's like, yeah, I was really mad. And then I thought about it. He's like, I do want to in my own toilet. I'm like, what's. You're in a mansion, right? Is this like. What is this, like a hole in the floor over here? I'm sure this one's pretty good.

[A]

This guy is so cute, but his manners. It's like, babe, we're on tv. I just sometimes I think on these shows, like, what would I do if that was my husband?

[D]

Like, babe, could you not say, in.

[A]

My own toilet on tv?

[D]

God.

[B]

I think the expression is sleep in your own bed. But sure, in your own toilet's fine, too.

[A]

Yeah, I just want to drop a log in my own forest. You know what I mean, Babe? Like, okay, geez. We're trying to pass off that we're super classy people on Real Housewives of Potomac. Okay. Like, no shots of Bobby eating or talking about where he wants to please. Just note to the producers. So we get the story from Angel. She's like, well, you know, long story short, Maryland really didn't ask to spend a lot of time with me, which I found extremely offensive. So we're gonna have to leave. No, she says that they had a rental because they just got a rental so they could look for a home, which, as we saw, was her storyline. And when we saw her look at that last house, which was really nice, she got the ladies together and told them that they had found a house. So I'm not sure what happened, because I thought, yeah, they were going to move into that house, so.

[B]

Right.

[A]

I guess that was just all fake. And she's like, well, the homeowners thought we were going to be gone for a certain period of time, and then there was a miscommunication on dates, and so now we have to be out of here.

[B]

Yeah. And then we see a text from the homeowners on June 26 that said at 5:42am that says, hi, Angel. We hope you're having a great stay. I am sending this a little in advance, but there is our checkout information for VP for you. Check out at 12pm on the 1st. We have loved having you. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out with anything you need.

[A]

So why you got to check out with the vp? I don't want to check out without eyeliner. Criticizing me for no reason. He's like, go back to your own country. My God. Damn it. Oh, to talk to the vp. Is there anyone else I could talk to? Hello, We've come in the government vanderpump.

[B]

I didn't get it at first. I didn't get it. It's like a Monday.

[A]

The vice president is so nosy. He's even involved in Airbnbs. He's like, you are not welcome here.

[B]

So this is. This is fascinating. And, like, as soon as we see this unfurl you know, I don't know what your thought was, but my first thought was as soon as Giselle finds out about this, this, this Angel's done for, because Giselle is gonna be a mess and she's gonna be on her ass. And Giselle has just been waiting to just like, pounce on angel ever since the freaking catfish thing that angel could not get over and continues to not get over. Yeah. So, like, when this. I start to wonder was, did she. Did she book this Airbnb because she thought production would be over by the first or was she confused? Did they. Did they say, hey, we're doing the cast trip in Colorado, So she thought, okay, we go to Colorado and then we end in Colorado, so therefore we don't have to rent this whole thing. Also, why do they not hire their own movers? Which is what you were kind of saying before. A lot of things were running through my mind.

[A]

And how do they know that? The. The tricky part. I think Giselle has it right later when she says, oh, they thought that production was going to last this long, so they only came here to shoot the show. I think that's probably what it is. But the thing that is a weird is that they didn't know that they had to leave by this date. And it's. It sounds like they didn't request more time either. So that's what's super weird about it is she's acting like, I've never heard I had to be out this month. It's just so confusing.

[B]

Commercials. Here comes one right now. Well, I. Here's. I actually have a conspiracy theory which. Far be it for me to ever defend Angel. But, but part of me says production told them. Production. Production knew that they want to go to Colorado for their, their big cast trip. They're.

[A]

They're.

[B]

They're like the main cast trip because you don't just like. Well, I think that production decided the cash trip this year will be in Colorado. These people are from Colorado. That's what they. They can use this as an example. Not example, as like a hook for going to Colorado. They'll do like some sort of Colorado type type cast trip. I think production already wanted that to happen. And then my conspiracy is production says, what if we tell angel that we only. They show they only need their house for this long, and then they do it. And this way it creates this situation and it tees up the Colorado thing really well. And it's a great kind of, you know, it's a great controversy to go into the Last act of the season. And now she can't be like, oh, we only booked it. We only booked it this long because production told us to book it this long or production arranged for it. Like, she can't out production, so she just looks like kind of an idiot for booking this house and not understanding dates and. Or it just makes her look shady. So I would not be surprised if she actually got a little set up by production on this one.

[A]

But even a week before, wouldn't she know she has to move out? Like, don't you think she would be. I guess this was June 26th. I just. It just seems weird that she's not like, well, it looks like we still got these events to shoot. Do I need another month here? I mean, because this text from the landlady sounds like, you know, you're supposed to leave. Bye. Have fun. Know you're packed up already, so have fun. You know, it doesn't sound like she asked for more time, so I don't.

[B]

Know why the landlady texting so early in the morning.

[A]

Yeah, that. That land. That land. Well, here's one thing we know. That landlady runs. Like, she gets her ass up and she goes running. Because that is an early, early text.

[B]

It's just Whitner from Southern Charm.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Waking up at 4:30. Yeah. Either way, I. I guess the thing is, like, my mind goes to a conspiratorial space because it's. This is just so weird. And it's like something is not adding up here in the world of Angel.

[A]

It's not adding up. So Kierna comes over and she sees the packing, and she's like, wait a minute.

[D]

What.

[A]

What's going on? It's like, yeah, we're moving. It's like, no, you can't leave me alone. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? So even Kay is like, what the is this? This is we. And she's like, I'm shocked. Like, what's a proper conversation? Who did you speak with? What's going on? And they can't really get an answer that makes sense. And Tia comes over and Bobby's just like, we're coming back. We're coming back. Listen, at the end of the day, you get nothing for nothing. And I'm addicted to inferior places to lay my loads. Okay? So don't you worry. We will be back.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. You know, later on, she explains that they're going to Colorado to get their stuff to move. Move into Potomac. I'm like, wouldn't the Normal move be just to rent somewhere else in the neighborhood and you just stay there temporarily. If all you have are your clothes, some something is not. And I guess if we had just gotten to know her, we'd understand.

[A]

Yeah. So she says the house was double booked. And Kieran is like, well, why aren't you freaking out? And t is like, I'm alarmed.

[D]

All the questions are going through my mind. I'm thinking, have you been kicked out? What was the agreement? Because I'm thinking, the landlord breaking it. Let's get the landlord.

[C]

Is this like an Airbnb?

[B]

And Angel's like, no, no, it's a wag bnb. It's a different sort of service for, you know, a certain group of people.

[A]

It's an air wagon wag.

[B]

It's like a short term rental agreement.

[A]

I think if it's an air wag.

[C]

So where are you going to put your faf? Are you just going to put it in storage?

[B]

And she's like, like, no. Well, the house came fully furnished, so this is not even our furniture. All we have is our clothes. So that's all we have to go back. We have our clothes and a very teeny tiny Target shopping cart in the basement that we're gonna see about 10 times the next 30 seconds.

[D]

Okay, but why aren't you working with Realtor? You know, I'm a realtor. Why don't I do it? You know, Jessica's not here, so I don't want to mix business with pleasure. But I'm also like, well, you're not very pleasurable, so I might as well do some business with you. You know what I'm saying?

[B]

And angel tells Bobby, she goes, oh, yeah, Tia's a Sotheby. Sotheby's realtor. And he goes, you are like, this whole time we've been on Zillow, which is. That was the funniest line to me because, you know, like, Bobby, you know, the entire time Bobby's like, let's get a realtor. And she's like, no, no, let's just look at this place. And we don't need a realtor. And he's like, this is stupid. We need to get a realtor. She's like, no, no, just we'll go on Zillow. And when he finds out that they could have just like, like, dealt with someone in the group, he just looks so exasperated.

[A]

He does look exasperated. But she mentioned their real estate person is named Jessica, so I'm guessing that was their realtor. But you know what Jessica did she failed? She failed today, so, yeah, she did. Yeah. But he does say we've been on Zillow the whole time, so I don't know.

[B]

Jessica, like a Zillow rep. You know what it is? I think actually it's more like they've been doing all the.

[C]

The.

[B]

The legwork instead of just having a Realtor be like, here, here's some options for you. Although, Bobby, the legwork is, like, the most fun part about that. Like, it's so fun to look on Zillow. Why are you even complaining? I'm not mad at Bobby.

[A]

I mean, it is, but if you're that rich, you need off the market listings that are only going to be shown to rich people. You don't need the Zillows. I mean, I think at that amount of money the Zillow listings are, they've been on there for 500 days for a reason, you know? Can you tell I'm still on Zillow every day? God, I love it. Actually, I've moved over to Realtor. Realtor as well. I use both now.

[B]

Really?

[A]

Yeah. Because I look so much that I go to one and then I go to the other, and they're all the same. Exactly. Exact things, but there's different formatting. Sometimes I just like a darker background. Okay. It's my prerogative.

[B]

No, you need an ergonomic experience. Okay.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So Bobby is, like, very frustrated that they've wasted all this time on Zillow when Tia has worked at Sotheby's this whole time. And Angel's like, okay, well, can you guys help me pack? Okay? Because the horrors persist. It's crazy how much you can accumulate in six months. Angel, you're not, like, 23 out of college. Hire some movers. You guys are rich. Why are you making your friends pack that? This is. I. I would be pissed. I'd be like, bye. I gotta go to that hospital to check myself in for a coma that I'm coming into right now. I've come up with some terrible excuse to get out of.

[A]

Also, those kids just have so many toys. And I mean, anyone with kids or who. With friends with kids or whatever. Kids in your life. You know what those little fuckers do? They amass an empire of toys that they don't ever use. Less toys, more Kindles. That's what I say. Put that kid on a little reader device and say, you know what? You're going to get the gift today of learning who Jane Eyre was.

[B]

That is a gift. You are going to learn about Ethan Frome. And guess what? You shall never desire a sled again.

[A]

Guess. Guess. Who else is age 9? Ramona Quimby. Get to read. Okay.

[B]

Yeah, guess. You know what you're gonna learn about?

[A]

You're.

[B]

You're gonna learn about. You're gonna learn about the color scarlet in letter form. Okay. Get to reading.

[A]

I want you to learn at 5 years old that you will not cheat on your husband or you will be in trouble with fashion in the town. Okay.

[B]

You'll learn that sister is the best.

[A]

We turn off children for reading forever.

[B]

So you will find out why Bernie's bobbed her hair. Yeah.

[A]

So Tia leaves and immediately calls Giselle, of course, because Tia is a mess, and she's chosen to be on the devil's side for whatever reason. So she's reported to Satan. Yeah.

[D]

So she's like, well, I should have used the toilet at Angel's house, but after how Bobby talked about it, I was sort of afraid.

[B]

Yeah. I wouldn't go in there after that.

[D]

So she's like, I've been thinking of you, friend. I've been thinking of you.

[A]

And Giselle's like, well, I wanted to invite you to a little July 4th cowboy Potomac party. Yeah.

[D]

And she's like, well, that will be lovely. So, anyway, let me tell you about my daughter who's been grounded. What? A little, but.

[A]

So she grounded her daughter because she can't stop calling people dumb. Which. This is what gets us grounded now. I would have never gone outside. Well, I mean, I didn't go outside on purpose when I was a child. Let's be honest. But still, I would have been in trouble all the time.

[B]

Yes. And so Tia is like, you know what's so funny? I just had a. I had a huge revelation just now. I had an aha moment when you said about the grounding thing. I thought about how when I was a kid, when. When kids get in trouble in school and they get suspended and they have to stay home. In my mind, I. I always thought, why is that a punishment for the kid? Because, like, to be able to stay home for three days instead of going to school, like, that's the best. But then I realize you're such a burden to your parents because you're home for three days that your parents get so mad at you that they make your life hell. And now it all of a sudden sense the school was saying, like, you're so bad. Guess what, parents? You've done a shitty job with your child, and now you've got to deal with them for Three days when you were planning on drinking wine with your friends and golfing or something.

[A]

Now you're going to deal with the consequences of your child rearing.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You stay home from work and you deal with their stupid ass.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Then maybe better.

[B]

That's why suspending children is effective. Okay. Tia is like, talking about, you know, her daughter, but then we're like, come on, Tia, we know what you're gonna do. Just say it. All right? And so she goes, oh, I was just at Angels.

[C]

Poor thing, she's literally having to move out.

[B]

And Giselle's like, what the. Why?

[C]

Yeah, and she's like, because apparently her lease is up and they've already rented it out to somebody else.

[E]

So she's just gonna pack up and.

[C]

Go to Colorado and then really focus on buying a place and come back properly, you know?

[D]

Who?

[C]

Did I say too much?

[A]

She's like, oh, so she just came here basically for the show. Yes. Like most people, I think, who come on this show. Right. We have a lot of people on the show who move here right when it's time to start filming. Like, Neca did that. That. Who else did that? I feel like there have been a few on this show that just show up.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

When it's time to film.

[B]

Mia sort of like, was in Charlotte and Atlanta. And then you also. I mean, like, yeah. Like Wendy, who apparently lives like an hour away from everyone. Like, there's like, it's a little nebulous. You know, you. You don't see a lot of people that are like, oh, my God, I gotta move to Potomac. Just naturally. And then I get to be on a TV show, coincidentally.

[A]

Yeah. So Giselle has got some chew. She's got something to chew on. Right.

[D]

So Tia's like, well, I don't think that's the case. She's from here. I think her husband's from Virginia. I don't want any parts of this. I don't want to hear, la, la, la, la, la, la, famous last words. And I wish it never came out. Which is why Giselle was the first person I called to tell.

[B]

That's the classic, classic phrase of a messy person. Oh, I wish if I had realized what I had said was gonna set up such a firestorm, I never would have said something in the first place. Classic.

[A]

Yeah. Well, if you plan to move back, you don't get a short term Lisa. Or maybe she doesn't really like us like that. Of course, Giselle takes it like, oh, so she hated us, and that's why she didn't get a full lease.

[B]

She hated us in advance. When she first started renting the house that she lives in, she didn't give the lady the right time frame. Okay. She thought we'd finished filming the show, but we're not. We're still filming, but that lady said, you ain't give me all that time you need, so now you gots to go. So Tio's like, hopefully this is just.

[C]

Like, a temporary setback.

[A]

Yeah. But Giselle is so excited now she has something to go for for the rest of the season. So now let's go to Kid Strong with Wendy and her family. And Cameron has a gymnastics class, and so we see her do some gymnastics. And so camera's the wither. Wendy, she does everything. Cameron in the Quest Twin, she's a soccer player. She's in the school play. I'm here for all of it.

[C]

All of it.

[B]

And then they. They reflect on time years ago when they brought Cruise to karate, and they're just sort of, like, reflecting on all that. And Wendy's like, babe, listen, please make sure that those days available, because I'm doing family, Potomac, and ponies. Eddie's like. Like Patel making ponies. She's like, yeah. She basically says that she and Giselle decided that they're going to throw a party together for the fourth. And we see flashbacks of them planning that. And Wendy's like, they're gonna do a potluck. So everyone's gonna bring something, and she's gonna bring fried chicken. And even though their kitchen's been out of commission. And then they start talking about how the renovations have been driving them all insane.

[A]

I was just laughing because she's like, we're doing a potluck. Everyone has to cook except me, the host of the party. I'm not gonna have no kitchen. So they start talking about their renovations and how it's just endless. They're spending so much money, and she. She can't stay on budget because she just wants other stuff, you know? And she's like, well, I haven't counted. But what I do know is if one voice is already over 100k, then we already went over the budget, so I know the budget.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Not good.

[B]

Do we think this was already her storyline, or do you think that Bravo kind of edited it? Edited in these little scenes and these little moments just to sort of.

[A]

I think it was already. Because her whole thing was the renovation, which is probably.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What she funded by doing the insurance fraud, you know?

[B]

Yeah. But it's. It's like, we. Now we are clocking every little discussion of money from Wendy and Eddie. And it's like, oh, not aging well.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So, yeah, she just says, yeah, eventually. She's like, oh, my God, there's all this money, and we just collect the invoices at the. At this point. Oh, Wendy.

[A]

Yeah. So now she's talking about her dad. And she still wants to speak to her dad, and he's called her, but she hasn't picked up because she doesn't want the comp. She's afraid of the conversation. And she's like, I just want to take that and be able to move on. And he's like, okay. She goes, okay, so what happens after the phone call? Like, we talk. Then what? And so Eddie is saying that him and his siblings, or he and his siblings have a monthly sibling reconnect where they talk and see how everyone's doing. And they're not best friends, but they're still making an effort, you know?

[B]

Yeah. And Eddie's family's been a good support system. Anyway, it's second I seen, like, whatever.

[A]

So, I mean, it's kind of nice, but it's like. It's kind of boring, I guess, because we don't really know Wendy's dad. But also he's kind of an, like, you know, like, no matter what's going on with Wendy, like, I still like Wendy. And so I'm like, fuck her dad.

[B]

She's having her best season.

[A]

Yeah. I feel like dad. So, like, I don't really care if she makes effort towards her dad because I feel like he's an asshole. But also I'm wondering if she cares about her own physical health because becoming friends with her dad again is going to send her mom into a rage. And I'm like, why are you. Are you just trying to send your mom into a rage on tv? Because this happened next week.

[B]

Well, yeah, it's. Because it's gonna happen next week. No, it was a good scene. It's just. It's just that there's so many other messy things happening on this episode that I'm like, I want to get the messy stuff. So.

[A]

Evicted? No. Did your dad refuse to go to a wedding because it wasn't being filmed then? I don't want to hear about it.

[B]

Is your dad part of a football family who's used to moving a lot? Then I don't want to hear about it.

[A]

Yeah. Is your dad a daddy wagon?

[D]

Okay, then.

[A]

Is he a Dag then? No.

[B]

What's it be? Wives and girlfriends? Would be husbands and boyfriends Habs.
