Can I say this:
I don't think RHOA has ever gotten credit for how its featured some of the most intelligent women to grace Bravo. You have to not only be intelligent but quick-witted to spar like this!
16 weeks pregnant is well before the date of the RHOP reunion โ that was filmed 2/28/2024. Iโm assuming Candiace knew she was pregnant by that point.
Candiace, maโam, I get it. Lol.
If you haven't watched RHOP from the very beginning, I don't know if you can understand the sheer joy the Potomac fandom feels hearing about Ashley and Michael's alleged separation and divorce. ๐
One of the wildest parts of Kenya's interview is finding out that neither she nor Porsha had Peaches when they filmed this scene. Imagine not being actual Housewives yet, but delivering this kind of television. Their spots were well-earned.
This led to one of RHOA's best feuds!
A Potomac Housewife who hasn't evolved much โ imo โ is Ashley. If you replace her wealth for children, she's pretty much in the same spot that she was in season 1: she's still messy, and she's still dependent on Michael. Nothing has really changed or progressed.
I used to make fun of how my parents and grandparents would thank God as soon as they got in the house. Now that Iโm older, I fully understand and Iโm just as bad. Lol
As soon as I walk in the house, Iโm like โwhew, God, I thank ya.โ
"I'm ashamed to be seen with her sometimes; I don't know what she's gonna wear" is crazy.
This is probably my favorite Karen Huger confessional ever. The multiple cuts take me out. ๐
RHOA S16
Kenya: Shereรฉ, why were you taking pictures with Simon?
Porsha: ๐คจ
Shereรฉ: IโฆIโฆdidnโt even know that was Simon at first. Heโฆuhhhโฆhe came to me, and asked me for a picture. Iโฆuh..yeah, thought he was a fanโฆandโฆI meanโฆI can take a picture with whoever I want and
I don't understand why RHOA production doesn't document Kandi's trips when she receives awards or takes part in other ventures. Not only would it keep Kandi from looking like a part-time cast member, it might also freshen up her personal story a bit โ make it less predictable.
Say what you will about any of them, but 4/6 OGs making it through seven consecutive seasons full-time is an accomplishment! It's, honestly, iconic.

Apollo used to embarrass Phaedra with the things he said. ๐คฃ
I donโt know whatโs funnier: Apolloโs explanation, the RHOA ladies collective confusion, Kenyaโs confessional, or NeNe yelling โ8 GโS, APOLLO???โ
Lol. Imagine Quad on Traitors
*Quad, I feel you are a traitor*
Quad: โLet me stop you right there. You may be trying to put me in an early grave, but baby itโs not yet my time. Honey, Iโm more faithful to yโall than a crackhead is to cocaine. Iโฆโ(adds 10 minute rant)
Call it what it is, Sanya switched up on Drew because she saw everyone clowning Drew in the first half of the season and didn't want to be associated. Then, she thought Drew would be a easy target so she could earn her peach. Drew did nothing wrong to Sanya, ever.
#RHOA
When the season aired, I was team Monique. In retrospect, though, I've become team Candiace.
Honestly, I hate this fight. It messed up the entire vibe of the show.
For those that know me on this app, y'all know there's no Housewife I love more than NeNe. What she did today, though, has wrecked any chance of a return, a Girl's Trip run, a WWHL appearance...nothing.
I'm super bummed right now. ๐๐
RHOA quick notes:
- I'm convinced that Drew and Ralph planned to come to this show and act like they were happy. However, the true feelings started to boil over and now there's a divorce.
- Ralph does not like Drew at all, and I believe that this divorce could be positive for her
I'm glad Gizelle is ok. Ngl, though, this clip is frustrating to watch.
Do y'all understand how humanizing it would've been to see Gizelle go through this journey? So many women could've connected with her. But, no. She'd rather hide everything. Who even knew she had sister?
Definitely Porsha. Porsha's one of those Housewives that you can split her run into eras because they're so different from one another: Stepford Wife (S5), Newly Divorced (S6), Princess of Thotlandia/Villain (S7-9), The Rebrand (S10-11), Center Peach (S12-13).
That's a journey!
I'm sorry, but Kim's misfortunes legit don't garner any sympathy from me. She had so much pride and arrogance, and she revelled in her privilege.
She gets nothing from me, and I don't want her back on RHOA. I need her to keep that same energy from S10 and stay gone.
Kinda crazy that the main feud to going into season might be Karen vs Robyn. I've watched RHOP from day one, so I've seen the tension building. But, I don't think I foresaw it getting like this. Those women borderline hate each other.
This reunion is going to be so nasty. Lol.
I love seeing Housewives evolve. Karen's evolution has to be one of the most drastic: from the unhinged "etiquette Karen" (S1-2) to "Kurn" (S3-5) to "Mother Hen" (S6-present). Even now, she's evolving, utilizing that mother hen role to position herself as an anchor for the group.
Gizelle will forever hate that Karen took the joke โgrande dameโ title, wore it with pride, and made it into a calling card for herself.
Gizelle has been trying to take the title back for years. Anyways, Karen Huger is the only Grand Dame I recognize.
#RHOP
Gizelle is a benefactor of light-skinned privilege by way of her proximity to whiteness. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it. That so many will defend Gizelle's mess, while condemning Candiace or Wendy at every turn proves that much. She'll never acknowledge it, though
#RHOP
This part Nicole Scherzinger's Behind the Music takes me out every time!! ๐ How are you gonna say you hope you don't get in trouble, and then proceed to air PCD out?! ๐๐๐๐๐๐
Only in the Housewives world can you get:
- A firing confirmation
- A pregnancy announcement
- An alleged firing
- A divorce
- An engagement
All in the same day. Seriously, only in the Real Housewives universe. ๐
I thought Phaedra joining Married to Medicine was justified by her dating a doctor. She didn't mention the doctor here.
So if they break up, then Phaedra's place will be because she dabbles in holistic medicine? That's hilarious. That's Bravo math. ๐
I still watch, but RHOP has given up on themselves. They won't work together to attempt to hash out issues, nor do most seem willing to come together and help make a good show. Not to mention, production enables this kind of behavior. It's a shame.
Andy needs to clock the blatant lying on RHOP at the reunion. I don't mind delusions, but some of the ladies are lying in a manner that's dangerous. When production needs to invalidate lies step by step, we've crossed a line.
I'm still enjoying the season, but lets tighten up.
