Episode Overview

In this lively and razor-sharp breakdown, Ben and Ronnie dive into Part 2 of the Real Housewives of Potomac Season 10 reunion ("Bizarre Love Triangle"). The hosts dissect every shade, side-glance, and reunion revelation: exposing the artifice and try-hard energy of new Housewives, defending flight attendants everywhere, and reveling in the return of infamous Housewives alum Monique—herself sheathed in an unforgettable triangle dress. There’s talk of alliances, betrayals, class shade, and money bravado, all filtered through the hosts’ signature Bravo-satirizing wit.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Opening Drama: The "Ignored on the Train" Argument

Timestamps: 02:27–06:39

• Ben and Ronnie marvel at the classic Housewives move of fighting over trivialities—today, it’s why Karena didn’t recognize Jazzy on the train.
• Ben: "They're just trying so hard to make storylines that are just fizzling" (02:54).
• Ronnie: "It's like auditions, you know? Here they come. And now it's their reunion audition." (05:03)
• The “taking the train to the reunion” bit gets roasted: "It's no snobbery against the train, but… taking a train to the reunion is, like, a funny concept." (03:49)
• Both agree: Newcomers Jazzy and Kieran are less than compelling, compared to past "try-hards" like Mia, whose wild lying and overt drama energized previous seasons.

---

2. Shade and Class Wars: Flight Attendant Debate

Timestamps: 06:12–13:42

• Karena (Kieran) throws shade at Jazzy's looks; the room reads it as a dig at her glam-less appearance ("she's hideous without makeup") (06:33).
• The fight escalates as flight attendant-shaming ensues, leading to the hosts’ heartfelt defense:
  • Ronnie: "Flight attendants are like unsung heroes... They have to stay pretty and cute and nice while literally cleaning up your poop in the bathroom." (08:49)
  • Ben: "Team flight attendant... whatever, Kieran. And going after the flight attendant." (12:38)
• Ronnie shares a detailed anecdote about snack drama on a recent flight (09:29–11:18), cementing just how little shade flight attendants deserve!

Notable Exchange:

• Caroline: "You stupid flight attendant with your mansion and your millions... I'm happy with my rented condo and my picture frame, thank you very much" (13:33).

3. Snoozy Fights & Money-Bragging WAGS

Timestamps: 16:05–24:50

• Andy Cohen tries to redirect from increasingly pointless catfights—“because really, this is a terrible, stupid fight” (16:20).
• The discussion pivots to Jazzy’s WAG (Wives and Girlfriends) status and repeated money flexes, which the hosts thoroughly mock:
  • Caroline: "Read a book. Go do something for a charity. How is that your whole thing in life? 'Wow, I bagged a rich one.'" (24:50).
  • Brandi: "Maybe watch the first few seasons... and you can see what happens to professional athletes after they hit their prime." (25:16)

---

4. Relationship Shade & The Bobby Discourse

Timestamps: 26:48–53:33

• Angel and husband Bobby’s dynamic comes under scrutiny, with Monique’s critique sparking debate: Is Bobby controlling? Or is Angel just using Bobby as an excuse?
• Brandi: "It's just that I saw your relationship and it looked just like mine, and it looks like you have some issues. But I'm not saying they look like mine and you have issues. I'm just saying that's just what I know." (46:03)
• The panel is divided on whether Angel’s nervous energy or Bobby’s standoffishness is the real issue, with references to viewer speculation and “bad optics.”
  • Caroline: "I don't know what I would say. Time will tell, but I don't think Angel has more time on this show, so it probably won't." (51:01)

---

5. Monique's Reunion Return: Triangle Fashion & Binder Tease

Timestamps: 32:07–42:16

• Monique reappears after five years, stunning in a "triangle" dress—immediately inspiring a torrent of jokes:
  • Brandi: "Some would say I've become a square, or should I say a triangle?" (36:34)
  • Caroline: "Nothing says I sell essential oils by wearing upside down pyramid dresses to the reunion." (33:57)
• She brings two new binders, referencing her infamous Reunion 5 binder moment.
  • Derek: "Is the weapon being the binder?" (37:56)
  • Caroline: "What kind of... How's anybody getting a hold of that binder and not immediately paging through that whole thing or putting it under your chair and being like, 'I need something to read during lunch?'" (38:36)
• Monique discusses why she turned down "Ultimate Girls Trip" and touches on her divorce, reflecting on personal growth and finding self-worth post-breakup.

---

6. Family Drama: Giselle’s Will and Legacy

Timestamps: 20:12–22:17

• Giselle opens up about battling her late father's wife over his will and losing in court.
  • Caroline: (mocking) "If you maybe stopped calling her an evil bitch, she might give you some of the stuff you wanted." (21:42)
• Silver lining: Houston is building a park in his honor.

---

7. The "Friend Of" Slams and Wedding Optics

Timestamps: 28:10–30:06

• The debate over attending weddings for “optics,” and the perennial "friend of" insult.
• Derek: "Your one job is to be a friend on the show, and you failed at your job because you're not friends with anyone. See? See how that works? Friend of zingy." (27:48)

---

8. Reveals & Set-Ups for Next Week

Timestamps: 30:06–56:24

• Stacy gets accused of recording phone calls (30:35), prompting laughter and side-eye: "This is crazy. So Stacy's like, oh, I want. And by the way, how stupid are you? Doesn't it say that you're recording the call?" (30:52)
• The episode closes with Monique confronting Stacy about possibly "crossing a boundary" related to her ex—teasing a dramatic reveal next week.

[Brandi]

If your skin care isn't working, you're probably skipping this step. Gentle Daily exfoliation. I love using the toning pads from Bare Faced and they have transformed my skin. Bareface sells one of these every three minutes, so you know they are that good.

[Caroline]

Love the way they make my skin look less clogged, pores smoother, clearer skin, and they give my skin a healthy glow. They're gentle enough for daily use, but effective enough that you'll see a difference within two weeks.

[Brandi]

If you want to see results and find a skincare routine you'll actually stick to, this is where I recommend starting. Head to bareface.com and use code. Crap ins for 15 off at checkout, plus free shipping. That's crap ins for 15% off plus free shipping. Bare faced, less steps, better skin. Guess what happens when there's so much. Who cares what happens when there's so much that happens?

[Caroline]

Well, hello and welcome to Watch what Crappens. 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.

[Brandi]

And Kiana's like, well, I didn't recognize you. So, you know, I didn't. And I didn't recognize you on the train. And just I was like, but she looks the same. And Stacey goes, why?

[Derek]

Why didn't you recognize her?

[Brandi]

She goes, well, I was, I don't. I just didn't recognize her, you know, and now she spoke. And then when I looked up, I

[Derek]

was like, oh, that's Jessie.

[Brandi]

But like, I Didn't recognize her.

[Derek]

She didn't speak.

[Brandi]

And, you know, it's all good. She's like, sort of trying to do, like, low key shade right now. And everyone's like, okay, come on, Karen.

[Caroline]

We know Karena versus Jazzy. These are two people who are trying so hard to make storylines that are just fizzling.

[Brandi]

I find Jazzy more entertaining than Kieran, I have to say. Like, I would rather have Jazzy than Kierna.

[Caroline]

I don't. I choose nothing. You know what I mean? If those are both being passed, I just choose to eat at home. If that's the appetizers. I just don't. I don't hate them or anything. I don't hate either one of them. I mean, I like them both fine, but I mean, they're both just trying so hard. I mean, you're gonna come into the reunion and your first argument out the gate is like, she ignored me on the train.

[Brandi]

Yeah. I do love that. This is the cast that has to take the train to the reunion. I mean, they take the sl. It's nice. It's a nice train. But it's just. Just the concept of it is still very funny to me, but I think, yeah, I mean, you're right.

[Caroline]

They both get around in the northwest or in the north.

[Brandi]

Yes.

[Caroline]

That's how we get around. Eh? That's how we do it, that train.

[Brandi]

It's no snobbery against the train, but there's just something about, like, taking a train to the reunion is, like, a funny concept, even though it makes total sense. And it's a really fun thing to do because this is, I think, last reunion, I think Ashley was like, I was on the train and I was showing, like, I was showing a guy and he's like, oh, yeah, this is. That lady would get wasted. Illegal seafood.

[Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Brandi]

Like, you never know.

[Caroline]

I used to wait on her. Illegal seafood. What a coincidence to see you here on the train.

[Brandi]

But ultimately, I like Jazzy.

[Caroline]

Just nobody recognizes Jazzy on the train. It's just her lot in life.

[Brandi]

She was in a Tyra Banks trench and, like, a mustache.

[Caroline]

Like, who's that? Oh, that's.

[Brandi]

I. Given that there are two people who are trying a lot, I think, like, Jazzy, her version of Try Hard is more entertaining to me. But ultimately, I think what we saw with Mia is that, like, the Try Hards are not great on this show and they will ultimately be corrosive. And the show has been in my book, like, much better without Mia and I. I was someone who actually really enjoyed Mia at first. But Mia is like a classic reality star. She's gonna do whatever she needs to do. She'll have her fight whatever fight she needs to have just to, like, have her reality star moment. And Jazzy sort of feels like she's a bit in that mold, so that's like a red flag for me. But Kieran is just kind of boring, so.

[Caroline]

And Mia also was extremely entertaining. I mean, Mia really it up, especially her last season with all of her, you know, lies and stuff about her marriage and her. I mean, everything that was going on was crazy. But Mia was damned entertaining, at least.

[Brandi]

Cause she was a blatant liar and a bad one at it.

[Caroline]

Yeah. But even beyond that, like, even her arguing with the ladies was really funny. She stood up for herself right in the beginning. I mean, her first entrance onto the show was when Wendy had all the surgery. And she and Wendy went at each other. I mean, all that stuff was so good. She had something. She had, like, a certain spark to her and a certain personality. It was just really, really good for Housewives. And I just don't see that in either Kierna or Jazzy. They're just like. It's just like two. It's like auditions, you know, like we were doing all season. Here they come. And now it's their reunion audition. And it's just every. Everything is like, oh, gosh, a disaster. In a real audition, they would have just been kicked off the stage weeks ago. Yeah.

[Brandi]

So Karena is saying now she's like, she's. Karen is explaining why she did not recognize Jazzy on the train. And she says, you know what? She looks beautiful right now. She's look. She looks dressed. She has her dress on, but she just didn't look like this on the train. I didn't recognize her. Which is her way of saying, yeah, when she's out of all this makeup and glam, she's butt ugly.

[Caroline]

She's hideous. Yeah, she's hideous without makeup and hair.

[Emily]

So.

[Caroline]

Yeah.

[Emily]

So, well, nave from pool said Jazzy. What did K say about Wendy behind her back that was such a big deal when you brought it up in Nevis.

[Caroline]

And basically, Jazzy's like, well, I didn't share everything that she said out of respect for where I thought that we were. But it was a long conversation, and I'm still not gonna say anything. And that's why I bought this really expensive dress and brought three assistants. I'm still gonna give you nothing. Yeah.

[Brandi]

And so Kieran is like, well, you've got 15 minutes. Don't waste your time on me, okay? Keep it. Keep it moving.

[Caroline]

And she's like, no, no, you don't

[Emily]

have to do all this. How about you don't have to?

[Caroline]

She's like, no, no. Stop wasting your 15.

[Emily]

No, you don't.

[Caroline]

You stop.

[Emily]

Wrap it up.

[Caroline]

Okay, well, then, okay, then I'll talk about you then. How about how you stole Greg from his wife and how you're raising his children? And then Wendy's like.

[Brandi]

Everyone's like, wendy goes, hurt you off. What was that about? And Karen's like, you're a lying ass bitch and don't try it. I'm just. She was like, what is happening? The JV team is fighting. Karen's like, you know what?

[Derek]

I knew this is what you wanted,

[Brandi]

but you know what?

[Derek]

You know what? You know what? Time out. The time out.

[Brandi]

And Wendy goes, no time in. Time in.

[Derek]

Okay, let's move.

[Caroline]

I know. Wendy's like, this is finally getting good. What. What are you calling time out for? What the hell?

[Brandi]

Yeah, but then Andy's like, I don't

[Derek]

want to hear these two. Let's keep it going.

[Brandi]

But Jazzy's like, you're like, oh, Oh. A man who hasn't proposed after I told him. After I told him three years. It should be something serious. Blah, blah, blah. She's like, making fun of Karen. And Karen's like, you're goddamn right. You're a goddamn flight attendant. Are you kidding me? I'll book the next flight, though. I will book the next flight, which I just love. She's like. She's like, I've got like.

[Derek]

I don't know.

[Brandi]

The flight attendant shaming is like, what's that?

[Caroline]

But it's also. She misses the mark because she's Kierna. Because she's like, you miss. You're a flight attendant. But don't worry, I'll book the next flight. Okay? She's a flight attendant. She doesn't book flights. It's not. It's not like you're saying you work at kayak. But don't worry, I'll book my next vacation. If you're going to say that, you need to be like, you're a goddamn flight attendant. But don't worry, I'll get my own nuts next time.

[Brandi]

I know. I feel like flight attendants are like unsung heroes because the amount of disgusting, awful people they have to deal with every single day, where they have to be smile in their faces, have to handle their garbage, have to clean up after them. They. They have to like, stay pretty and cute and nice while literally cleaning up your poop in the bathroom and then serving peanuts and then listening to, you know, Fran from Habosus saying, like, complaining because she's hungry for something and her child is crying and, like, these. And everyone. The flight attendants have to be smiling. Keep the vibe right? They are heroes. Okay?

[Caroline]

Oh, my gosh. You know, as far as, like, you were saying, like, they have to keep it cute and nice. No, they don't. I think those rules went out the window because now there are a lot of flight attendants who just look at you like, if you fuck with me, I'll fucking kill you. It's like you have to win a flight attendant over now. It's not like. It's very different. I'm like, oh, my God, please don't hate me, because I know what came before me, and I know it was horrible. I was sitting next to these people yesterday who were very nice to me, but they were. There were this couple, she was sick, which, of course I was like, oh, God, please don't get me sick right now. You know? And they got something free with their airline miles. I guess they got a free snack. So the lady came over and she had a reservation for this. It wasn't even first class. I was very impressed that they had, like, reserved snacks. So the lady come over and she's like, christopher, okay, we've got a free snack for you. I need you to look here at the snack box and tell me what you want. And so the wife is looking. She's like, well, what do you have?

[Emily]

All right, well, we've got a tapas thing.

[Caroline]

What's in the tapas thing? All right, well, there's some olives, there's some chips. You know, I got a long line here. I got to do the whole plane. She's like, okay, but then what's in this thing? But what's in that thing? What's in this thing? And what's in that thing? And then her husband's like, hey. Her husband comes back from the bathroom, and he's like, hey, where's our snacks? She's like, I've got your snacks here, sir. We're trying to pick a snack. What do you got? Well, we got tapas. What's in the tapas? Oh, God. Well, there's olives, there's chips. What else you got? There's a cheese thing. What kind of cheese? She's like, oh, my God, this lady is about to lose it. And then he goes, well, what did you order, honey? And then she said, well, you guys just get one, so just pick one. And he goes, no, we should get two. She says, no, you just. With your program, you only get one. You're Christopher, right? Christopher is the one who gets it. You know, I'm Christopher, but I got a wife. You better get me two. She's like, nope, you just get one. How this lady did not pull out a baseball bat and just club this man over the head, I'll never know.

[Brandi]

Yeah, I would have taken her that plastic box of very low grade cheese and bopped him on the head with it. And it's like, you know what makes me so happy for flight attendants? Like, sometimes if I'm sitting in the aisle on the flight to Miami, I was sitting on the aisle, and the guy in the middle was sort of like, man spreading. So I sort of, like, was going a little bit to the left because he was like. He was also, like, elbow spreading. So I had to sort of, like, sort of like, drift into the left. And so what I don't realize is that my shoulder is sort of like, spilling out into the aisle a little. A little bit. And when it comes time for food and, you know, snack service, snack and beverage service, they come up that aisle with that cart, and I'm like, this is their favorite thing. This is like bowling for them because they bonk everyone who is dangling in the aisle. And I'm sitting there, and all of a sudden I feel like a boom, boom, you know, because the car just, like, plows through, you know? And when they do that, I was like, I'm so happy for them, like, that. So much joy. Like, because they hate us all as they should, and, like, they can't act it out. They can't act on it. But in that one moment, they can be like, you. You just take all our shoulders out. I was like, do it. I was like, I'm not even mad that you bopped it. Like, you deserve that moment of justice.

[Caroline]

Yeah. Team flight attendant. Yeah, yeah, whatever, Kieran. And going after the flight attendant. And so she's like, well, I'm going to book the next flight, though. And Jazzy goes, oh, really? With whose money? She goes, oh, oh, oh, I would love you to serve me.

[Emily]

I got it.

[Caroline]

She goes, oh, well, you don't.

[Emily]

Well, I would.

[Caroline]

I would, actually, because you showed up looking cheap. Yeah, you showed up looking cheap.

[Emily]

Flight attendant. What is this? Spirit?

[Caroline]

What are we on Spirit now? She's like, I looked custom. That's how I look. And that's something clearly you don't know anything about with your store bought picture frame frame. I'm a wag.

[Brandi]

I also do know how to go through customs because I was a flight attendant. But it is also, it is hilarious that Kieran is trying to shame her for being like a flight attendant when she's at the same time holding on to this like drugstore picture frame. I love picture frames. That's what I love.

[Caroline]

She's like, oh look at you, you stupid flight attendant with your mansion and your millions of dollars who married up there. I'm happy with my rented condo and my picture frame, thank you very much.

[Brandi]

I'm happy with my condo that overlooks a regional highway

[Caroline]

it's time for a

So they're trying with each other, and Jazzy's like, oh, that's all she has. And Karen goes, well, I have a body. Are you serious? She goes, okay, whatever. So Andy's like, okay, we gotta move on, because really, this is a terrible, stupid fight.

[Emily]

But, Jazzy, I hope you don't have any forks on you, because the next segment is about me forking Charisse's son.

[Derek]

See what I talk about The Good Place. I can show him that.

[Brandi]

So he's like, don't let the accent fool you.

[Derek]

This British Nigerian princess may seem prim

[Brandi]

and proper, but some of her friends

[Derek]

are calling bollocks on her posh Persona and would love to say doodle doo.

[Brandi]

So now it's Tia's moment, and he's

[Derek]

like, oh, I know. They're not calling Stacy my friend, are they?

[Emily]

So then, hey, any culture shock joining this group? Tia, like, well, one of my fears in doing this was a bit of a culture shock because I've watched Lisa Vanderpump, and people don't understand. It's her humor, sometimes British humor. Am I right? That would get her in trouble. So I was worried that that would happen to me. But alas, the Internet has reminded me I am no Lisa Vanderpump. So thank you, Internet keeping me humble.

[Caroline]

Thank you.

[Derek]

Thank you. All right, well, fish tacos from San Diego says, tia, we never see your husband. Is everything okay on the home front? Yes. Yes, everything is okay. And you'll see right from the beginning, it's nothing new. He's never been on there. He's a very corporate person, and we don't see him on the show. And I don't actually see him quite really around the house either. That's why my children have rages when I go out of town. But he doesn't. He didn't love being called a nanny, so oopsies. But he's really being very defiant, won't do stuff because secretly he thinks that he's the n. He thinks that I think he's a nanny, which I did. We're both our children's nannies, and we work for them. Ooh. Does anyone else have a child that kisses the mirror?

[Emily]

It was a bit of a culture shock, Andy, because now I have to do carpools after this show ruined my carpool with my husband. So thank you for that show.

[Caroline]

And now she's like, well, You've been married, you know, and maybe he's just a little sensitive.

[Emily]

And she's like, well, I can say that verbal abuse is a love language for me. I just don't know why I can't get on board.

[Derek]

Verbal abuse is a love language.

[Brandi]

Wow. God, I love British humor.

[Caroline]

I love that Andy gave his literal crappin's joke.

[Derek]

Laughs well, we tease each other as a way of showing love. All right, well, you had a very unique and boring story about a sister, so let's see some of the clips of that.

[Emily]

Oh, look at this. We have a clip of you going back to visit your childhood home. And look who's in it. Mauricio.

[Caroline]

Oh, hey. So you're coming back to visit your childhood home.

[Emily]

Wow.

[Caroline]

Yeah, we could do this for a couple of million. Yeah, let's have a look.

[Brandi]

Yeah, like maybe change out the banister, but other than that, it looks really good.

[Caroline]

So.

[Brandi]

Yeah, really nice.

[Caroline]

So they watch the clip of the sister and stuff and talk about how her father had kids while he was married to the mom. And then he's like, well, why didn't

[Emily]

you want to talk to your sister?

[Caroline]

Did you not hear the setup of the dad had kids on the mom? Why are we acting like that? So crazy. I mean, it's not the kid's fault, but as a kid, I can understand how you would be like. Or as a younger person, I could understand how you'd be like, excuse me. But the point is they have made friends and everything's okay. And once she never spoke to her dad, but once he was gone, it was important to have her sister with her.

[Emily]

Yeah, she regrets nothing.

[Derek]

It's a real testament to being open to an untraditional modern family. Almost as if, I don't know, your boss wound up in a long term relationship with your son. Right, Right. Everyone, right? No one.

[Caroline]

So Giselle's like, I'm going to make the story about me now because I had some family issues as well with my dad's will. I'm not going to cry. Hold on. I am not going to cry.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Caroline]

And t is like, oh, my God,

[Emily]

I've never seen a cry. This is going to be fascinating.

[Caroline]

And he's like, don't worry, you won't.

[Derek]

I've been waiting 10 years to break that one.

[Brandi]

So Giselle is. She is. She gives an update on this will, which is basically that, sorry, I'm burping everyone. That's really.

[Caroline]

Did you eat the will?

[Brandi]

I ate the will. Guys, you have to know, the will is. I Ate it. And now it's. I'm burping it up.

[Caroline]

Yeah. So basically, she was suing the wife of her father because the wife wanted everything from the dad. And Giselle fought her in court, but Giselle lost the case. And I don't know, there's probably current wives everywhere who are like, hell, yeah, you lost the case. Jill Zaron. But then she explains that, yeah, Jill Zarin. But she explained, no, Jill Zarion was

[Emily]

like, should have called me. Could have helped you.

[Caroline]

But, yeah. They basically talk about how this woman won the case, and Giselle says it wasn't about the money. There was civil rights, artifacts and stuff like that that she wanted and that now she's not gonna get from the evil wife. I was like, well, if you maybe stopped calling her an evil bitch, she might give you some of the stuff you wanted. If it's not just money. I don't know.

[Brandi]

But I don't know. I'm sorry. This way. This lady is evil. Like, how do you not, like, pass any. You know, you change it so that way, you cut the granddaughters out of this guy's will. Like, that is cray cray.

[Caroline]

Yeah, that's some. That's.

[Brandi]

That's just.

[Caroline]

That's pretty bad. Yeah.

[Brandi]

Yeah. But Giselle says that there's a silver lining because the city of Houston is building a park in his honor that's almost done, which means that clearly, next season, they're going to go to Houston and visit the park as they inaugurate it, which is great. And then, Andy, my only request is

[Caroline]

that they could put it closer to the Arizonas.

[Derek]

Wow. So your dad is a. Matt was a massive member of the civil rights movement, and they're building him a park in tribute. That is great. Hey, Tia, let's talk about you and Jassy getting into a squabble. Okay, let's pivot to that.

[Emily]

Any more flight attendant jokes? Okay, let's move on.

[Caroline]

So, I'm sorry, Tia.

[Emily]

Let's talk about you guys. Jazzy, you were offended by Tia saying the restaurant owner called you beautiful, and it was disrespectful to your relationship.

[Caroline]

See, here's another Jazzy fight, and it's so stupid. Mr. Sunshine comes over to the restaurant. Comes over in the restaurant, Nevis, and he's like, oh, hey, ladies, have a shot. And they're like, yeah, he's a hottie. Go get him, Jazzy. And she's like, how dare you? How dare you come from my relationship? I am a wag,

[Brandi]

but not an elder Wag like angel. So Jazz, he's like, let me say this. I didn't think that it was appropriate. And quite frankly, Tia didn't know me that well.

[Derek]

And he was like, aunt and Andy, would you like to know what the truthful story is? I did say that when we got to the car, she was upset with me. And I said, well, of course you're upset, because you don't really know me that well. So I'm not trying to disrespect your marriage or whatever it's called, or future ex marriage, because obviously. And then that was the end of the conversation. And then we were having dinner, and then we had that fork moment, and she's just embarrassing herself because I tried to tell her verbal abuse, especially to someone stupid like you, is my love language.

[Caroline]

Yeah. Yeah. Basically she's saying, this girl is pretending that we were getting along. Like, she's pretending we were having a fight. We weren't having a fight. I apologize. She accepted the apology. We got along really well. And then she needed a scene, so she went at me at a restaurant. And Jazzy's like, no, I was embarrassing you for your piss poor, non wag behavior.

[Emily]

And she's like, well, as everyone can see. I mean, why are you doing this? And you've been very loud since you got here, and you've given me a headache. You can't even move in that dress. You're ridiculous. You're a talking statue covered in roses. It's ridiculous.

[Caroline]

Jazzly's like, you said you wouldn't bring it back up.

[Emily]

She's like, well, as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, your reaction was a disproportionate and slightly unhinged. And you've been picking at me since you met me. You have a chip on your shoulder

[Brandi]

that's literally Moni coming out with a Dorito on her back. But we'll get to that. So Jazzy is like. She's like, well, I have worked. I have a working husband who makes millions. Unlike your husband, let's be very clear.

[Caroline]

And she's like, okay, you know what, Jazzy, shush with this. Like, wow, you. You bagged a rich guy. That does not make you more worthy as a human being. And it's pretty sad that. That what you're hanging on to. Like, wow. Every argument you get into, you're like, well, I'm rich now because I married a rich person. Read a book. Okay? Go do something for a charity. Do something for some. I mean, how. Get a job. Like, how Is how is that your whole thing in life? Like, wow, I bagged a rich one.

[Brandi]

Lane also, maybe watch the first few seasons of the show and watch the story of Juan Dixon. And then you can see what happens to professional athletes after they hit their prime. Because guess what? It's not gonna stay that way. It's great that he has the money now, but it's gonna go away. Odell Beckham Jr. Was former football player, brother of what's his face, Cordell, on Love Island. He was. He has some ridiculous clip that's going around where he's complaining. He got a 150 million dollar contract and he's like, yeah, but you know, he was half of it to the agent, to taxes. And then you got to pay your agents and this and that, and then you got to make like, you know, $8 million a year. Like you got to make $8 million stretch or whatever. He's like complaining and, you know, and everyone's giving him shit because it's like, oh, wow. Like, there are people who are like struggling just to pay for groceries and you're, you're, you can't, you can't make ends meet. But the, but the truth is that I think with a lot of athletes is they do get a lot of money, but then they have a lot of expenses and the downsizing is very hard. And, And Jazzy is probably going to be facing that at some point. She definitely will be facing it at some point. Who knows when that will come? Who knows if there'll be a knee injury. Who knows if she'll get, if, if Darius will get like another seven years or not. But she's sitting here talking about how she has this, like, her, you know, this rich man, which is cool and great. It's cool you got a professional athlete. It's very exciting. But this fairy tale has a second act, and we've all seen into the woods, and we know what happens there.

[Caroline]

Yeah, just bring it back for you, Ronnie. I was like, I'm talking too much.

[Brandi]

I'm talking too many sports for Ronnie right now. Let me bring it back to Sondheim.

[Caroline]

Well, yeah, and it's just like a celebrity thing in general. You suddenly have all this money, but you make more than you spend more, you know, and then you can't keep up because expensive things are extremely expensive. I mean, if you have a couple million dollars, I'll take it all. You know, you, the minute you, you get bigger eyes for something, you know, the more that money drains. So be careful over there. Yeah, I'M just embarrassed for her. It's just so, like, I've had money for a week to be like, oh, yeah?

[Emily]

Well, I'm rich.

[Caroline]

So your argument is bullshit. Well, you're rich, but you still suck.

[Emily]

So Tia's like, oh, and by the way, speaking of, y' all told me, you told me that her husband didn't have a job. So, excuse me, she told me her

[Caroline]

husband didn't have a job, and he

[Emily]

took $150,000 out just to get her a home and clothes.

[Caroline]

And she goes, are you dumb? Are you crazy? I mean, when he didn't have a job, we paid cash to get my home. I mean, what's the problem? Talking about, my husband didn't have a team and he PA paid cash for my home.

[Emily]

Well, now we've got money.

[Derek]

Oh, well, you're a friend of nobody. And by the way, your one job is to be a friend on the show, and you failed at your job because you. You're not friends with anyone. See? See how that works? Friend of Zingy.

[Caroline]

But that. Yes. Now that's a slam. You can't come. Someone's like, oh, you're broke. And she's like, you're a friend of. So, yeah, sorry.

[Derek]

All right, well, I want to move on. Wendy, you defended Jazzy during the argument with Stacy, not wanting to attend her wedding. So, Stacy, did you only go to Jazzy's wedding because Wendy convinced you it'd be bad optics?

[Brandi]

And Stacy's like, no, no, she never said she was upset or questioned me. She only had a problem and told me how hurt she was when we were in the final 15 minutes of filming because she wanted to have a moment. And our friendship was fractured way before.

[Caroline]

Oh, stop the madness, Stacy. Your bullshit is really a form of art.

[Emily]

You're poor.

[Caroline]

So, yeah, she probably. Like we've said a million times during the season, she pro went to your wedding because she knew other people were going to go there because no one wants to go to a wedding alone. Nobody wants to.

[Brandi]

And it would have been bad optics. So she said, I will go. So.

[Caroline]

Yeah.

[Brandi]

Yeah.

[Caroline]

Is it true that you only had your wedding at that time because you were trying to get it on tv? Yes. So why is that better? The only reason you wanted those people there is because they were on a TV show that you wanted to get on. So, please.

[Brandi]

And the optics thing, by the way, I think 50% of people who go to weddings do it it for good optics because they know I don't really want to go to this But I probably should, because that'd be. If I don't. They're not saying I want to go to this because I really want to, like, be there to, like, see this special moment. Like, I know, like, it would be shitty if I don't go, so I'll go.

[Caroline]

Yeah. I don't go for. For optics. I go for good, like, buffets.

[Brandi]

I mean, honestly, if I were Stacy, I would. It would have been like a yes in a heartbeat, because I'm definitely going to go to some. I'm gonna go to an NFL wedding. Hell, yeah. Be there any moment. Any moment. You just. Any. Hey, any wags out there, invite me to your wedding. I will be there because I want to go to an NFL wedding. Okay? I want to see that. I want to see a lavish ass wedding. For as much as we just talked about, like, it's all. All that money's gonna go away. So stop bragging about your money. I'm like, but while you have it and you are spending lavishly, loop me in. Okay. I want to go to that wedding.

[Caroline]

Yeah. So now we go back to Jazzy recording phone calls. And she's like, oh, my God. Stacy's literally using a screen. Small.

[Emily]

Minute.

[Caroline]

Minute situation that happened genuinely, literally. When you have that many. Ellis, at the end of your sentence, you're lying. I've learned that about people. Genuinely, literally, you're a liar. So Stacy's like, oh, that wasn't minute. That wasn't small. She'd been recording phone calls that kind of rhymed, if you think about it.

[Brandi]

Yeah. It was almost like a song lyric. Jazzy's like, Stacy said to me, jazzy, are we good? No. So I hope you all have watched what you've said to her, because she records, and he's like, andy says, has anyone else experienced this? And Wendy raises her hand and Kieran raises her hand.

[Caroline]

So, yeah. So Jazzy was doing it. So here's another situation where Stacy's somewhat vindicated. This is crazy. So Stacy's like, oh, I want. And by the way, how stupid are you? I think. Doesn't it say that you're recording the call? I would imagine that when you press record the call, it records. It says, like, the call is recording. Isn't that how Stacy found out? So what is Jazzy doing? Being the worst call recorder of all time, where everybody has caught her and she still keeps doing it.

[Brandi]

Yeah, she's not even getting a Britney abatement lashing. They just don't even care enough. They're like, yeah, she does it? Whatever. Yeah.

[Caroline]

They're like, we're concentrating on Stacy, not Kieran. We'll get her. I mean, not Jazzy. We'll get her next time.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Brandi]

And so, you know, and Stacy's like, saying, you know, you're putting people on speaker and promising that they can pour their heart out. And then you tell people, you know, like, you're recording. And jazz is like, you are trying to exacerbate a situation as an excuse of your piss poor behavior. You're a fraud. And you know, you are. Everyone should focus on their own lives.

[Derek]

And he's like, okay, well, Jazzy, you had your moment. Now we're gonna bring out the friend of that everyone really cares about. Monique. All right, Monique, come on out here.

[Caroline]

So this outfit is something. It's crazy. She's wearing like a big triangle, like a big flat triangular thing on her back. And then another, smaller one on her front. She looks like a napkin holder.

[Brandi]

I did love it, but. Yeah, it is very.

[Caroline]

It was.

[Brandi]

It was very angular. It had severe, severe shocks.

[Caroline]

I didn't learn. I did not love it. Like, how am I supposed to pass you in a hallway? Like, that's dangerous. I don't feel like I should be afraid of your clothes.

[Brandi]

I just appreciated it for just being wacky, you know, it was like.

[Caroline]

Yeah, it was that.

[Brandi]

It was like. It reminded me of, like, something that you'd wear. Like someone wore and Risk and like, not Risky Business, like Ruthless People, you know?

[Caroline]

Yes. I was going to say it was like the set of Ruthless People, you know, like all super modern furniture and stuff.

[Brandi]

Memphis or something. It's like, I think that art style was called Memphis. All that weird, wacky 80s furniture. I could be wrong. I'm just like, in a name, a random city. Like, guys, I think that's called Biloxi. So Monique comes out with this crazy triangle outfit, and she is like, you know, I'm trying to top the last reunion. It's been five years. Isn't that crazy? I had so much fun. But they didn't show half of it. Here I come. And someone's like, no, binders. And. And then she's like, oh, she's bringing the binders. Bring two binders. Here she goes.

[Caroline]

She's got two. She brought two binders, which is so funny. And she's like, well, don't worry, it's not a secret. I just brought it just in case.

[Emily]

I love reading those bitches.

[Caroline]

So she comes out. Andy's like, hey, triangle.

[Emily]

Ashley's like, is that an arrow? Pointing to the treasure chest.

[Caroline]

And she's like, well, it's an upside down pyramid. Because, guys, when I was in Egypt, that's when I found myself. So, yeah, doing the whole pyramid thing.

[Brandi]

Yeah, guys,

[Caroline]

nothing says I sell essential oils by wearing upside down pyramid dresses. To the reunion.

[Brandi]

Guys, she's sending a message. Be careful. Commercials. Here comes one right now.

[Derek]

Hi, Andy. Great to see you, Monique. What a difference five years can make. Am I right? Is the difference between being 22 and 27, which is a big difference if you think about it, guys.

[Caroline]

Yeah. You know, and it's five years and we're in the same studio.

[Emily]

And he's like, oh, well, I don't care. Okay, So I really wanted to congratulate you on your journey of self discovery and healing. So you made positive changes. We can all see it. We can all see it. It's so impressive. I'm wondering, if 5 Monique was here, what advice would you give her?

[Caroline]

And she's like, well, you know, I would tell her to calm her ass down, Andy. I mean, it's just not that serious, right, guys? I mean, put the weapon down. Am I right? I'm just fun, positive, Monique.

[Brandi]

Yeah, I've done a lot of healing. Some would say I've become a square, or should I say a triangle?

[Derek]

Okay.

[Brandi]

Geometry. Angie's like, okay, well, just wanted to

[Caroline]

come back with softer edges this time around. Angie.

[Brandi]

Andy, I just.

[Emily]

Literally cutting hallways. There's a scrape down the hallway.

[Caroline]

Your dress is terrifying, Andy.

[Brandi]

I just want to do the right thing, the right angle thing. Triangle humor. You just sort of have to wear one to understand it.

[Caroline]

I just wanted something in case Candace came back. I could stab her in the eye. She started crying. Fun.

[Derek]

Monique, scalene triangles.

[Brandi]

Am I right, guys?

[Caroline]

So Monique and Giselle's like, well, that would have been nice if you were calmer during the earlier seasons. Oh, Giselle, don't pretend that you weren't sitting there agitating every second of everything with Monique at all times. I love that they. I don't like that Monique has had to take this stance of like, okay, I'm just gonna come back and completely eat shit. And, I mean, it's worked, right? But it's like, Monique, you know, it went too far with the Candace stuff.

[Brandi]

Yes.

[Caroline]

But everybody else just gets off scot free. I don't think that's fair.

[Brandi]

Yeah. So Monique is that, you know, when she says, like, oh, I put the weapon down.

[Derek]

Is it the weapon being the binder?

[Brandi]

She's like, yes. And by the way, I brought it just in case. And so she holds up the binder,

[Derek]

and he's like, wow, I need that binder.

[Brandi]

Just the binder. So he takes it, like, presumably to bring to the clubhouse. And then he's like, looking through it,

[Derek]

and it's like, okay, there's a tab for Wendy and for Robin and the last lady.

[Brandi]

Oh, it's like. She's like, yeah, sorry, Giselle, you're the last lady.

[Caroline]

The last lady.

[Brandi]

And Andy's like, okay, I'm gonna give

[Derek]

it back because I don't know if I want something with Robin's name in the clubhouse. Okay, here you go. Here you go.

[Emily]

I saw Robin stabbing. I fell asleep. But, yeah, take back the minor.

[Caroline]

What kind of.

[Emily]

Who are you?

[Caroline]

How's anybody getting a hold of that binder and not immediately paging through that whole thing or putting it under your chair and being like, I need something to read during lunch or something. The hell?

[Brandi]

Yeah. As our friend Ira Madison would say, keep it. So Monique is like, well, we do need some new tabs, but, you know, I've just been so busy in court and dealing with custody and all this other type of stuff, I honestly just had no time to even. You know, I had. There's a. There was a cease and desist. And isn't that crazy? Last night, 9pm I got a cease and desist. Okay. And Me and Ashley, we went to dinner and then all of a sudden my ex sent me a cease and desist. So I just don't have time for binders. Andy's like, wow. Jazz. He's like, well, the reason why you guys are there is because of Stacy, right? Stacey?

[Derek]

It's Stacy's fault. Stacey's fault. Stacey, I got the fault.

[Caroline]

Stacy says, Stacey's fault.

[Emily]

You got a cease and desist. It's Stacy's fault. Karen is like, it's flight attendants fault. Flight attendants did this.

[Caroline]

And Monique's like, well, some of it is Stacy's fault, actually. And Stacy goes, what?

[Emily]

Well, after a five, I'm just going to pretend that didn't happen and that

[Caroline]

I don't have a binder. I just want to go home.

[Emily]

I have a son. Okay, well, after a five year hiatus, Monique, you return to this group. Blah, blah, blah. Let's give you a clip package. Okay?

[Caroline]

So they show Monique's clip package.

[Emily]

Okay. Well, over the shoulder from Boulder. Holder says, you're much lighter this season. Monique, can you explain more about how you've done that?

[Caroline]

She's like, well, first of all, thanks for noticing. First step in becoming lighter is losing £350, am I right?

[Brandi]

Jazzy's like, I don't get it. So then she's like, the second step. Honestly, it's just self reflection. I just had to look at myself and I looked at myself and I was like, wow, you're wearing a triangle on your back.

[Caroline]

And it was funny because I was looking at myself while I was wearing the shiny triangle. And I could see my reflection through the shiny triangle and the mirror and it was just like a million Moniques. I saw myself with me whole way of Moniques. Hallway of Moniques.

[Brandi]

Yeah. I just looked at myself and said, wow, you look like one of the buttons for an elevator. And that was cool. So Andy's like, but I don't always go down, which is funny. So Andy is like, well, how good

[Derek]

did it feel to have that lunch,

[Brandi]

the two of you guys, right? And she was like, well, I loved it. I loved it because I felt like me and Monique could have just been cool back then if we just talked, you know, and we're not gonna like, I don't know if we're ever gonna

[Derek]

be besties, you know, besties, besties.

[Brandi]

But like, I love the fact that we're moving in a positive direction and she's much better than Jazzy. So feels good to know that we have a good friend of for next season. Ready to go?

[Caroline]

Yeah. She's like, I'll take care of her next year. Ra, Andy.

[Derek]

Ah.

[Caroline]

I love apology Monique. I love lunch. Smiling Monique, pretending that I've never done anything mean to her in my life.

[Emily]

Okay, well, something that people may not know is that I tried to get you on season two of Ultimate Girls Trip, and you said no.

[Caroline]

And she's like, yeah, it was the season with Dorinda.

[Emily]

Yeah. And you were a hard pass. I mean, you really said emotionally, you were not ready to come back to this platform.

[Brandi]

She's like, yes. Well, they were not manufacturing triangle dresses at that point, so just wasn't. When I say I was not in shape for it, I literally meant I just didn't have the shape, but now I do. She's like, good to go.

[Caroline]

Yeah. She's like, well, I was still extremely rich and had other TV show offers on the table, so if, as my dress is saying, you can see the direction of where that went.

[Derek]

All right, well, why weren't you ready then?

[Brandi]

She's like, well, I just am like, you know, I was figuring out my marriage and all that stuff, and, you know, you. You know, I wasn't healed, blah, blah, blah.

[Caroline]

And he's like, ok. And she said she was mad. She said she was mad at production and the cast and the network, which I thought was. She's like, fuck all of you guys, you know, because she was. I remember her saying stuff back then. She's like, fuck all those people. And they were like, will you ever go back to Bravo? And she was like, hell, no, I will never, ever. So, yeah, a lot's changed since then. So she's like, you know. But then I realized, you know, I'm bored. And staying at home by yourself in solitude is not actually peace because I have children.

[Brandi]

So, yeah, just you and Give me

[Caroline]

the out of here.

[Brandi]

You and animals, you know. Oh, man. Children and my animals. And Andy is like, so, what did your divorce teach you about yourself? And Monique is like, well, it taught me that I didn't love myself. They say, typically, whoever you're in a relationship with will tell you a lot of what you feel about yourself. And I was in a relationship where I. Where I was allowed to be depleted. And I don't know what is the emotional term for. I would wake up feeling like an actual pancake after sex. What's that?

[Emily]

I felt like I was a leaf

[Caroline]

that had fallen between two pieces of wax paper and then ironed in a kindergarten class. Do you know that feeling, Andy? That's how I felt when I woke up under Chris.

[Derek]

So Andy's like, well, Monique, you mentioned that you see a lot of similarities between Angel's marriage and now you're designed of marriage. Do you stand by that statement?

[Brandi]

She's like, well, look, I wasn't coming after her marriage or coming after your husband, Angel. Don't you worry. I'm just not interested enough in you in that way. And Angel's like, well, and I want everyone to know that, like, things don't bother Bobby. And I think that he's like, he thought that you guys had a good rapport, so that really bothered him because he didn't think that of you. Like, you just said that things don't bother.

[Caroline]

Are you listening to your own sentence, Angel?

[Brandi]

You just said bothered.

[Caroline]

Okay, things don't bother Bobby. But that bothered him. Yep.

[Brandi]

Monique's basically like, you know, it seemed like, oh, yeah, it seemed like Bobby has an issue with me because he wouldn't talk to me, but essentially, like. And Angel's like, well, no, he keeps it real.

[Derek]

He keeps it real.

[Brandi]

You know, he keeps it real. It's not out of rudeness. She's like, no, it was rude. It was rude because he could have just said that in that moment. He could have said hi or whatever.

[Derek]

And then it's like, yeah, he's odd at me, too. He's out at me. When I texted him, I said, hey, Jackson, you up? And he's like, this is Bobby, not Jackson. I said, my bad, my bad.

[Emily]

Do you have his number? Okay.

[Caroline]

And Angel's like, oh, he's not mad at you. We just saw you two days ago. He goes, I know.

[Emily]

And I thought he was a little mad at me. So she's like, oh, no, no, come on, Andy.

[Caroline]

Andy. And Kieran is like, bobby, don't mess around, honey. Bobby, do not mess around. So Monique is saying, look, I was saying that because these NFL guys, these are the kind of guys we come in contact with. And that's what I was trying to tell you. And when we first met and I started talking about the NFL and you were nodding your head like you're doing right now. And then once the cameras went down, you were like, well, I really want to talk to you and get some advice. Cause we have things in common. And so we're on a trip, and you're hosting, and I'm watching you do it all. So when I saw that, I was like, well, well, I'll give some advice. So it looked like you needed help. And, you know, I just wanted you to not work yourself to the point where now you're being aggressive with the group and being upset all the time.

[Brandi]

Yeah.

[Caroline]

And as I'll say that, you know, doing too much doesn't make her aggressive with the group. I think that's unfair. I mean, the group was kind of coming for her constantly.

[Brandi]

Yeah, the group was coming for her. But, like, this is a very interesting way of Monique saying, no, no, no. I wasn't saying that your relationship is like mine and that there's any issues. It's just that I saw your relationship and it looked just like mine, and it looks like you have some issues. But I'm not saying they look like mine and you have issues. I'm just saying that's just what I know.

[Caroline]

Your relationship looks just like mine, which I have detailed in my book is abusive and toxic and horrible. And that's all I was trying to say. I was just trying to hug you. Consider it a hug.

[Brandi]

Do you have any letters from your former self? Love letters?

[Derek]

Yes.

[Caroline]

I think she did this. She handled this in a very classy way. I think it was very kind of her to deal with angel like this instead of saying, angel, I know that that probably hurt your feelings, and I shouldn't have been saying that stuff behind your back. I see how it was taken. But to me, it looks like your husband is controlling and an asshole and you're afraid of him or whatever she really felt. Because she could have said that, but she didn't. I thought that was nice.

[Brandi]

Yeah. I mean, I think that basically she's saying, I just saw some, you know, some things that reminded. Reminded me of my situation where the husband's taking all the energy and you're doing everything for him, and it's totally out of balance. And so I just wanted to check in because I saw what happened in my life, and I want to make sure everything's good in her life.

[Caroline]

Yeah. And Angel's like, well, I look at this, and I think that that's projection. I saw a lot of projection this season because you don't know me and you don't know that my marriage is wonderful, but it is. And Bobby is wonderfully supportive.

[Emily]

Oh, my gosh. Well, Bobby did everything when we were at your house. Remember when I stayed at your house and everyone else didn't? Oh, it was just pure luxury. Husband. Luxury. He was basically the daddy. Don't take it personally, but it's my love language.

[Derek]

He did everything. For instance, when it was time to do the dishes, he scowled at me.

[Brandi]

And when it was time to clean

[Derek]

up the table some more. He scowled at me, and it was time to go to bed. He scowled at me. He just did everything. He was just so kind that Barbie.

[Caroline]

So Kierna goes.

[Emily]

And I'll say his host.

[Caroline]

He was actually the host for us more than Angel. He really made breakfast. Kieran.

[Brandi]

Geez, that's funny. That's actually cute. I. I actually do believe that Bobby did do that stuff, But I think that, like, you know, I. I don't know.

[Derek]

I think that.

[Brandi]

I can't tell really what Bobby's role in. In this is. Is Bobby. I sort of. Sometimes I get the idea of, like, Bobby's just doing Bobby, and Angel is, like, insecure about it and, like, trying to. I think she's, like, afraid that she's gonna get, like, kicked to the side or something like that. I don't think energy.

[Caroline]

I don't think Bobby's done anything wrong. I think all this started when Giselle and them started making a big deal, when he was rude, quote, unquote. And they're bad at that thing that they went to that was all the way far away from. They live far away from where they live. They had to get all these kids there. It's this family day thing. The ladies are calling them giving all this shit after coming for his wife all week or all month or whatever. And they're like, where are you? And he said, we'll get there when we get there. And they're like, man, speaking to a woman like that. I mean, I think they've been really overplaying this Bobby thing. I think at the. The final vacation thing, he came off like a real dick because he just sat there. Yeah. With his friends. I think he came off like a real asshole at that one.

[Brandi]

I hope they kind of. I hope Andy asks about that, because in the previews for next week, we see that they're going to talk about Wendy's situation and Karen. But I'm like, I would love that trip to be addressed. It has to be addressed because that moment with Bobby and his friends was. Was really obnoxious like that. That's, like, one of the. The searing moments of, like. Of the season for me, of these guys just staring at the women and being so incredibly rude across the board.

[Caroline]

Yeah. Because my opinion. The whole season had been like, oh, my God, they're just coming for Bobby. Bobby's not doing anything wrong.

[Emily]

And then that hap.

[Caroline]

That happened. And I was like, come on, Bobby. I've been sticking up for you the whole season, man.

[Brandi]

Yeah. I do think that, like, in this situation, though, like, by and large, like, for the whole season, it seems like Bobby has been, like, fine. And it's just angel has, like a. A. A strange energy about it all. Like, she's, like, nervous about it or she's like. I don't know. There's something like, something that's off that she's like. Like overcompensating for, you know, Like. Like, I don't know. It seems like she's just, like, not settled. I get the sense that she's like, a little bit, like, she's like, afraid that she's going to do something wrong. And like. Like, I kind of get the sense that it's like. And maybe it's in. Maybe it's like, that's a situation that she's whipped up in her head. Like, she's gonna, like. I don't know, like, she's afraid that, like. Like she's gonna upset Bobby or let Bobby down or whatever. I. I can't tell, but, like, you know, I feel like her energy is a little extra when it comes to Bobby, but I don't know. I don't know what.

[Caroline]

I don't know what I would say. Time will tell, but I don't think angel has more time on this show, so it probably won't. I kind of want to tell as much.

[Brandi]

I kind of wanted to come back at this point. It's so weird. Weird. Yeah. I would actually be interested to see more of their relationship in a weird way, to see, like, is this. Is this all Angel's energy? What does Bobby contribute to it, if anything? I don't know.

[Caroline]

I mean, I took it honestly as angel kind of using Bobby's an excuse when she didn't want to be around the girls or. I mean, it seems like she's got such a close relationship with Bobby because of how she talks about him and, you know, like, we're a team and. And, you know, this and that. So, I mean, I don't know. Yeah. But, you know, the only shitty energy I got from Bobby was at that finale party. But even then when he was like, well, you know, she said, well, the ladies, they want me to go. What was it like? They. They want me to go party with them and stay at this thing tonight. And he was like, okay, well, do you want to go? I'm like, no, I don't want to go. And he's like, then don't fucking go. And then. So it makes it like he's telling her not to go, but he wasn't really telling her not to. Felt like he was saying, do you want to go? So I don't know if the energy is just her being like, well, Bobby doesn't want me to do things is because she doesn't really want to do them, and she's using that as an out. But I don't know.

[Brandi]

Can't tell. I know what you're saying.

[Caroline]

Yeah, I can't either.

[Brandi]

You can't tell if, like, does he really not want to take care of the kids for a few more hours or does he. Or is she using it as an excuse or is she sort of, like, nervous to leave him behind?

[Caroline]

And honestly, the track record of. Of people that we've seen on Bravo, it's like, well, I. I certainly don't want to sit here and say, no, Bobby could never. This would never happen. Because, I mean, look at just the crappy nominations this year alone of the shitty Men and what they do. So I certainly don't want to discount that theory, if that could be true. But I don't know.

[Brandi]

Yeah, I mean, I think back in the day, I really liked Chris as well, and I don't think I had detected any of this from Chris. Oh, there was. I know. Wait. No, there was like a. There was a turn, a slight turn where he was just like, I want more sex. And she was like, but. But I don't remember. It's, like, past, like, nine months ago. So I have. It's all just vague memories at this point.

[Caroline]

Yeah, well, you've got a longer memory than my five minutes. I'm like a mosquito. Jesus. So anyway, Angel's like, well, now, you know, you said all this stuff about my husband, and so now people are running with this narrative, and it looks like I'm facing trouble in my marriage, and that's not true. And Wendy's like, what people? And Giselle's like, yeah, who said that? Duh. And she's like, you know, the people, the public. And so she means the viewers. And I love that. Giselle's like, who. Who said that? The people that you're trying to make think that all season, Giselle, United nations,

[Brandi]

they had an emergency meeting, and they said something that's going on with angel

[Caroline]

and Bobby, the three amigos,

[Brandi]

all three of them.

[Caroline]

Martin Short, Very, very, very upset for me. So Andy's like, okay, let's move on.

[Emily]

Stacy, you're back with Teemo this season, and he makes misshapen people pizzas. So let's talk about that. Did you date Chris Samuels?

[Caroline]

Or not.

[Emily]

Okay. Cuz we have photos with you on a date with them. And then you admitted to Ashley.

[Caroline]

You.

[Emily]

You admitted it to Ashley on producer

[Caroline]

cam, we have photos of you on a date with him. Really?

[Brandi]

Cuz it's, it's. Was that picture. There's a picture of her at a table with Chris, which to me is just, you know, whatever. They're eating together. So she is.

[Caroline]

Yeah, that's what I thought it was.

[Brandi]

Yeah, that Stacy says that was actually a table of 25 people. She was never on a date, just with him. And Andy's like.

[Derek]

But it seems like on that producer

[Brandi]

cam, you kind of cop to it. And she goes, well, I admitted that I had. I saw him out. And I've always admitted that I didn't go on a one on one date with Chris. Now she's like, yeah, but you said

[Derek]

it in the context of you and Timo.

[Brandi]

And Karen was like, yeah, you were seeing other people.

[Caroline]

Yeah, I know. Come on now, Stacy, you said on that they show us the video again. And Stacy's like, listen, when Timo and I separated, we both saw other people. And Chris Samuels was one of those people. So she's gonna try and wiggle out of this now. And so Kieran is like, but you were seeing other people. And Ashley says, well, Timo saw other people and that Chris was one of your people. You said that.

[Emily]

She goes, no, I didn't see him.

[Caroline]

That's just not true. And that wasn't the context.

[Brandi]

So then Monique is.

[Caroline]

It was AI. It was AI.

[Brandi]

You could see AIC because there was

[Caroline]

a plane behind me and then it was a bus.

[Brandi]

Monique says, well, she was in communication with him. But honestly, whether they dated or not has never been my issue. Because, you know, Stacy's a beautiful girl and I enjoyed watching you in this season. You're hilarious as hell. But it was just the boundary that was possibly crossed when it came to me sharing because I've not been in a space to be around people and let them into this, into. Into this magnitude of it for in so long. And I just felt like if something needed to come back to me, it would. And it did. And I want to show you this. And I know you all won't be able to air it, but at least I can just let you watch here. And so she holds up her phone and they're like, so next week we'll find out.

[Caroline]

Okay, so are we gonna find out that Stacy was the one that went and told Chris? Because that's what it sounds like, right, that Monique. No, I don't think it's talking about him at that lunch because she says it's not about whether they dated. It's the boundary that was possibly crossed when it came to me sharing. So that means that she's talking about that dinner where she was sharing and then someone went and told Chris.

[Brandi]

I think I feel like it's gonna be a bit of a letdown. Whatever it is, I don't feel like it's gonna be a really strong and effective reveal.

[Caroline]

Well, I will say this. Stacy looked worried.

[Brandi]

Yeah, well, we'll find out. We'll find out next week. Thank you, everyone for being here. What a fun time on the show. Get your. Get your virtual streaming tickets for the Crappies.
