#3086 RHOP S10E08 PART TWO: And Still I Lie(s)

0:20Hi everyone, welcome back. This is part 2 of a two-part recap. if you're wondering where part one was, well, go check in the feed and be sure to subscribe. So that way you always get your episodes. But enough of that. Let's get right back into the episode. So they are ready to have cookies sing like a canary and just like my Clippins are about to fall out. So now we go to Mama's Half Shell where Wendy and Monique are going to have a little lunch. Their first time having a one-on-one since everything happened five years ago. And they say hi and everything. And Monique also points out as they get together that, uh, Wendy was actually one of the first people to reach out to her after the fight.

1:00And she's like, she says that like, you know, you texted me and everything. And Wendy says it sucks. Cause they felt, she feels like they never really got to know each other. Yeah. I just wanted to see like a little camera in Candace's house as she watches scene as she's just like shaking the baby on her knee a little too hard. Like, what are you doing? It's just a little too hard. a little too she's also got the cry angle she's like she's taking the baby

1:33she's turned the bassinet into a cry angle she's like so um they are talking about that you know how they didn't get to be friends because she was friends with candace and you know obviously she was going to be on candace's side and wendy's like well you know i'm surprised that she wanted to meet up with me because she did something to my friend but you know like she beat up my friend but i'm you know i'm not going to reach out to her but you know i'm also open to lunch because i love lunch so i came you know people change and they also pay for lunch so monique is like you know i give everybody space and even when i saw y 'all when i came to pride i was like i don't want to come off like being fake but it felt nice the energy was really good, you know?

2:19And what's your and Giselle's relationship like? And Wendy says it's like much better. And she's like, even considers Giselle a friend. And she was like, but you and Giselle need to have a conversation. And Monique agrees that they're going to definitely have a conversation. Yeah. And Monique's like, yeah, but you know, in the old days, I would go hard, you know, like you come for me and I'm taking your whole block out. But that was the old me. Maybe I'd still do that. I don't know. No one changes that much in five years. I don't think. And Monique's like, you know, and sometimes forgiveness doesn't mean reconciliation.

2:53And I've accepted that. And whatever therapy Monique has been to has been great. Like everything she's saying sounds great. So now they're talking about Karen. And Wendy's like, well, you know, Stacey threw off the bomb on me and said that Karen had a sense we'd been talking shit about me. And then Karen didn't come to the reunion, but she thanked everybody in the group but me. And so they're like, oh, no, I can't believe Karen would do such a thing. Yeah. And Wendy says that, like, yeah, Karen was taken right after she was sentenced. She was taken right away. And I hear that the ladies have not spoken to her.

3:30They've not spoken to, but they have spoken to people who speak to her, which is my way of saying, do you still talk to Cookie? because that's the person who was giving the group information about Karen. You want to tell me something about Cookie? I feel like you want to say something about Cookie. I haven't talked to Karen, but I've heard that she's already written my name and my phone number on the girl's stall in the jail. So Monique says that Cookie met Karen through Monique. But she doesn't talk to her. She's like, I don't talk to her at all. Which is funny because it seems like everyone likes Cookie.

4:05and Wendy's like, well, but she's best friends with Giselle now. And so Monique gives us this backstory, which is so funny. She goes, well, I met Cookie back in like 2007 at my ex-husband's birthday party. And we had the father of Go-Go there, Chuck Brown. And she told me that she was Chuck Brown's daughter. And he's not akin to her. Who does that? If you lie about that, you'll lie about anything. And they show this clip of Cookie at some concert being like, daddy, or whatever she was saying. It was like a heartbeat. It was just Cookie being like, me, me. Daddy. So she lied and said she's Chuck Brown's daughter.

4:44That shit's funny. So she's like, well, that's a demonic entity right there. And I can't be around people that act as if they're your friend. I love all the demons. It's like, you know, they're a demon if they say they're Chuck Brown's daughter. They're a demon if they're claiming to be heir to Go-Go and they're not. Demonic. So she's like, yeah, I stay away from that one. So now they talk about pride and meeting the new girls. And Monique's like, yeah, you know, they seemed a little passive. And then I was like, well, I didn't know Wendy was a spokesperson. And she goes, yeah, I don't know why I'm being a spokesperson.

5:20But look, here's the thing. I like Stacey. She's a good person. She has a sweetheart. And I'm tired of the girls ganging up on her. But she needs to acknowledge the way that you move in this group. Can they have people looking at you like, hey, girl, you know? and Monique is like you know you feel comfortable like this is like your homegirl like she's like taking notes on what everyone else is doing and then doing it just trying to comfort you like maybe start to kind of like take a step back and just see who she is like mm-hmm so now speaking of Stacey we go over to Stacey and Timo at Arabella swimming lesson you can swim Arabella swim for mommy and daddy who are definitely still together and when she's done swimming I'm going to get in and show her how it's done I wish Stacy would just go one up Arabella at every event that she did she'll just do some secretized swimming she'll just come up and do Esther Williams and have a swim cap all the children will be making flower patterns around her and Arabella will be up to the side being like I can't do that with a wet sash from the beauty day so Stacy's there with Timo and she goes can you try and be happier Timo and he's like I'm smiling oh that's a smile okay so they're saying how to people she goes Timo and I are still doing our evite dates it was a drought last year it was dry but now it's raining I'm so sorry mom and dad have fun Arabella are you okay Timo yes I'm just a little cold okay well I'm gonna warm you up right but Not too much because the kids are still here.

7:00Please, I'm trying to smile. Now is the time that I smile. So. And then he does try to smile. He's like. Why do they swim back forth in pool? It seems inefficient. So. Just swim one way and get to the other side and then it's over. Where I come from, you swim, you go in a river. You swim up, you get your grocery, you come back.

7:28You swim one lap there, one lap back, and you are done. Why back and forth? Very American. Stacey, by the way, the reason why I always say now is the time is because one time I flew Lufthansa, I had like a layover in Germany, and so there was like a German flight crew. And Lufthansa is a German airline. And when they did the safety, when I got on my second leg on the Lufthansa flight, so the German crew was like Germans. It was like everyone was German on the flight. but they had to do it in English and the flight attendant was like, now is the time for safety. Now is the time that I will teach you about how to use the mask.

8:05Now is the time that you put on your seatbelts. Now is the time. Like everything was like, now is the time. I was like, yes, yes, ma 'am. Now is the time for cocktails. Now is the time. Now is the time you put on your seatbelt. Now is the time you put on your seatbelt. Put it on. She was literally saying, now is the time. like she'd proceed everything with now was the time i love it it was so amazing german people are my favorite i told you the story once but i used to work with this german girl who was so funny to me because she did not give a fuck and customers well one time a customer complained about their food she's like yeah this isn't what my what i ordered and katrine goes this is fine for you and then she just like patted her and walked off my my friend and the lady kept the food.

8:52That was it. My friend Matt always tells the story because he was technically born in Germany, but he's American. So he called up once to try to get dual citizenship. And he was like, hey, I'm calling because I heard that if you're born in Germany, you can get dual citizenship. And he said, the lady goes, and what makes you think that? And I just love... Now is the time that your American person can go fuck himself. Goodbye. Yeah, now is the time. You're I wrong click. So let's see here. Okay. So Tia shows up and Tia is going to, you know, to a swim meet, to your kid's swim meet. What a good friend date.

9:33Want to watch my kid swim? So she comes over and Stacey's like, oh, I don't just bring anyone around my family. But Tia's new and she hasn't made any judgments about me. and Timo's apprehensive about meeting the group because he's aware of things that have happened but he's okay with it. Little does she know Tia is here as a spy. A group spy. That's right. So Tia's like, well, I was wondering if you lot are free tomorrow evening. Maybe we could do dinner with Wendy and her husband, with me and Rob. He's got no friends, my husband. Please, I'll even let him be friends. He's desperate. He'll even be friends with this very strange looking man who seems very uncomfortable around happiness.

10:21Would you like to smile, sir? He's like, I am trying to smile. I cannot. I fly out tomorrow. Could you look happier when you say that? I fly out tomorrow. That was anger. I fly out tomorrow. Okay. That's him happy. That's him happy. Tomorrow is the time that I fly out. I fly out. So Tia's like, oh, well, how long are you in town for? It's like, just today. It's like, oh, well, we were hoping to be able to, you'd be able to come to Giselle's event on Saturday where you can meet all the women. And Stacey's like, no, I don't think he'll be, he'll be back until next week. It's very unfortunate. So they decide, she's like, well, can I just be a threesome with you and your husband to go to that?

11:03And Stacey's like, yeah, Tia's part Nigerian and British, and she's a princess. Who wouldn't want to be friends with her? and Stacy's yeah she's like yeah she comes from royalty I'm not even joking and Tia's like yes my Tia was in the car it's being Polish oh look I got a smile from Tia you gave joke and now is the time that I laugh at joke laughing time is now over so Tia's like well do you want him to meet any of the other ladies and she's like no that's why you're here now I'm friendly but I'm not stupid and there's a history with the other ladies. Well, how do you feel about meeting Monique?

11:45Is that the first time you'd met her? And so, you know, they just make small talk about the ladies. And Tia tells us, well, I'm Sherlock Holmes today and I'm going to own it all and take it all the way there. So now she's going to dig for some information and Timo walks away. She's like, love meeting you, safe travels. Oh, you look like your jaw, oh, it's your, you're trying to smile. Your jaw looks like it's head. You don't have to try anymore, dear. Now is the time that I walk off into the woods. Because he just disappears. So she's like, well, I'm a detective, and I get to ask whatever I want, but this is my moment.

12:22I have reserved a little bit of benefit of the doubt with Stacey, just a little bit. So Tia's joking about how Timo just basically got out of there, and Stacey's like, well, yes. By the way, Monique seems really great. I can't wait to know her just a little bit better. Oh, yes. She sounds like she's been through some things. It was really kind of her and vulnerable of her to share some of her personal details. And how do you know Chris, by the way? Could you speak into this flower that I have on my lapel? Oh, I just know him socially. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So you're not close at all. Has he ever talked about his divorce to you?

12:58No, no, no. We just know each other. I showed him one of my camel sweaters. God, he really loved that. He wasn't into it first, but I said, Camels remind us That wise men brought Jesus gifts On his birthday Which is how we know what Christmas is He bought three Which he got a special deal on I wear these camel sweaters To remind myself of the time I literally broke a camel Oh, so you're not close He's never talked about divorce Oh, he's just a nice guy, is he? Well, I do not know that man but the minute she says it, my heart sinks because I don't leave her. I'm just dying inside. But that piece of benefit of the doubt that was reserved for Stacy, it's turning to ashes.

13:47I just don't trust Stacy. Oh, it's such a shame that he can't come to Giselle's events. Stacy goes, well, I do want to be completely honest with you. I don't know that he's at that level of comfort yet in terms of meeting everybody else. Well, maybe Giselle introduces us to her boyfriend maybe when Giselle introduces us to her boyfriend I'll introduce them to Timo oh so we're waiting for pigs to fly is it princess joke that's a princess joke oh maybe we can all be transparent let's all bring our men okay I'll bring my boyfriend ex-husband husband how's that how about that so now we go to the rooftop at the gram with Giselle, Grace and Ashley's friend Brandita Brandita who we've seen this season and on the love hotel.

14:38So Grace, I've been, Giselle tells us Grace is, Grace is there. So she's like, Grace has grown and Grace has spent a couple of years at college. Really? We didn't know. We only saw 10 seasons of her going off to college. And she, so Grace has been working with Brandt helping to plan events. So that's what Grace is up to in case anyone was wondering. And it's very hot and humid there. You can tell because poor Cal, you know, I love Cal. Cal's one of my favorite gays on Bravo. And this poor guy at this event, I don't know if you saw at one point he just has two, he has two giant sweat patches in the back of his shirt.

15:10I was like this poor guy being dragged to this hot and humid event. He shouldn't be here. Oh, you know what was so funny? Did you notice this at the pride event when they all sat down and had lunch? And when Monique was talking about her breakup with Chris, that they put all the gays at a table nearby and the gays just all sat there and watch the women like a live podcast. That was so funny. I mean, just, you could see their legs just, they were all cheated out towards them just watching the woman talk. Not even trying to blend in. They're just like, mm-hmm. Do you guys know Karen? Love her. She doing okay?

15:44Love her. It also felt like they had to be on deck in case they needed to jump in and help someone out. Be like, wait a second, you do not get to talk to her that way. They're ready. Like, I got my bitch. I'm ready. I got her back. So Giselle is just getting ready for this GNA party and Giselle's telling us that Robin isn't even coming to this party, which is hilarious that you're throwing a podcast party and your co-host isn't going to be there. Like why bother? But it's also weird because Robin was at Bravo con. I did see her there. I saw her at the bar. She was there to promote, she was there to promote, um, uh, traders.

16:23She was on the traders panel and not to promote traders, but she's on the traders panel. So basically Giselle says, you know Robin didn't really like about like how she left the show she clearly did not she's really unhappy obviously about being dropped from the show so she just did not want to go back on the show I kind of feel like I get that and like why would you go back to the show that fired you to like help prop them up but also like promote your podcast I mean I know Giselle can do it on her own but I kind of think in this case like you have a podcast with Giselle like I say show up you know It's not like we're being like, oh my God, we wish Robin were there.

17:00I say do it for your friend. Yeah. And do it for yourself. Like you're promoting your podcast on TV. Like hello. But the other ladies are coming and she's asking about Stacey. She's like, well, I wanted to uninvite her, but you know she called Chris Samuels after we left. Did you know that? And Brandt's like, oh my God, she did. I did not know that. And so the girls are mad at Stacey. commercials here comes one right now

17:32so now let's go to double date time with the glovers and the osephos yeah that's right that wasn't actually the party that was just the setup for the party as you did say so um yeah double date date time which i thought um stacy was gonna be at this double date as like the third wheel or Fifth Wheel. Remember that show? But she's just not there. So they're talking. They're making small talk. You know, the guys meet each other and the wives, et cetera. And Eddie's asking about where Tia's from. She says she's from London, but born in Nigeria. And they're sort of like trading stories about that, et cetera.

18:08Yeah. So, yeah, they make small talk. Like, how long are you guys married? How long are you guys married? And Tia tells us a story. Technically, I was 19 when we met, but we weren't doing anything like that or anything like that. But that's not the only thing I lied about. I used to tell people that I was half Cuban because I thought it sounded exotic as opposed to being Nigerian and English. Like, what's wrong with me? I mean, this is what happens when you send a child to an all-white boarding school. It's an identity crisis. And I love that, like, for her, she's just, like, laughing it off. where Caroline Stanbury's like, I went to boarding school and 10 years later, I'm still devastated by it.

18:50I was devastated. I should never have told people I was part Cuban.

19:01People still ask me to put a ham sandwich in a panini press. Never get over that lie. Can you believe it? the way i would wear those havana shirts around eton is horrifying so um so then eddie talks about how meeting eddie and he said that they've known each other since they were 17 but that wendy was never checking for him and she is like well why not and she goes he didn't have a car so but then he did get a car and she was like yes and then he took out insurance on that car and They pretended it was stolen and that paid for their first dinner. And they knew they belonged together. Damn it. So they make small talk about all this and like relationships and yada, yada, yada.

19:44And finally, they get to being messy. So Tia's like, well, I had invited Stacey and her husband today to join us. And Wendy's like, yeah, I thought she was going to be here. Why is she not here? Well, he's out. He's out of the country. So we couldn't make it. Well, she did say that out of everybody. She felt that I was the safest to be around him. Does that make you mad, Wendy? Oh, she said that. she said that she's like oh yes she did me the safest of tia cuban tia anti-cuban tia tia tia tia it's funny if she named she said she told everyone she was cuban and no one said and your parents named you auntie

20:29Tia, Tia, help me try a lot of mojito, please. So Wendy is like, Wendy's like, so the person you feel safest to is Tia? Tia that you just met? Tia that is not stuck up for you? That, Tia? Okay. And so Wendy is mad now. So she calls Stacey. And Stacey's like, hi, Wendy. How's it going? She's like, Stacey, how are you, love? Question for you. we are here on a double date and my impression was that you were supposed to be here what happened oh well Timo wasn't quite ready for such a big introduction so we had to pass this time and Tia's like oh she said he was out of the country by the way now it's like another by the way this is the real answer this is the real answer is that Timo clearly does not want to be on TV and get into fights with other housewives which it sounded is like what she was kind of telling Tia before where she's like, you know, I'm still uncomfortable with the girls.

21:26I'm not sure when I'm going to introduce Tia or Timo, but she had already lied about it. And so I guess she decided she's not going to lie about it, but she had already lied about it. I mean, Stacey just can't keep it straight. So she's like, oh, well, he just flew in today. He just got here this evening. Yep. This morning he flew to England, then he just got some tea and flew right back. Yeah. Seriously. And so Tia's like, but I just, but, but, but How does this even work? So they're all like, like, wait a second. Like, you just said he just flew out. And I are saying he just flew in. So Wendy says, well, Tia said that you said to her that you felt like Tia was the safest person for Timo to be around.

22:06And I just feel like you're not being the type of friend to me that I've been to you. She goes, Tia, I really don't appreciate you causing friction between Wendy and me, my Nigerian sister. No, darling, you're creating your own friction because you can't keep up with your story. Wendy, I'm sorry. I regret introducing Tia to Timo first. You are my closest friend in this group, and I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. Oh, she's full of it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Wendy's like, well, you know what? We'll have a great time, Stacey, and I'll talk to you soon. So they hang up. And Tia's like, oh, English bollocks.

22:42That's bullshit. She's full of it. Full of it. Here I am, like an idiot, defending you. You're on an island, much like Cuba, of your own, And you're actually creating more water in between because clearly you want to stay on an island, a delicious island with beautiful cocktails and wonderful sandwiches, I'd like to add. A fantastic musical. I'm not going to disregard that. But still. So what is Tia doing here? So did they tell Tia, Tia, you can't just be cute and funny. You have to fight with somebody. So start some shit. Because it seems weird that Tia like went to a swimming thing and then is now immediately trying to be like, well, she said I was the safe one.

23:25And now they're going to have a safety fight. No, no. Tia, Tia was there. Wasn't she there for the conversation where she found out that Stacey called Chris Samuels? So she, Stacey. So Tia's like, oh, like Stacey reached out to Tia. She's like, oh, this is great. I'm going to find out about the Chris Samuels thing. Stacey lies and says she doesn't know Chris Samuels. so Tia's like hmm this person's full of bullshit and then she goes to dinner with Wendy and is like hmm you know she said that I was her favorite because she knows that like Wendy and Stacey are close and she also knows that Wendy is gonna be like wait a second so Stacey and Tia's just like she's just clever she keeps her cards close to her vest or her chest her chest that has a vest on it and her vested chest her best of chess she's gonna say like let's see what happens watch what happens live with tia so yeah so wendy's like okay well did anything else happen she goes well at philippe chow angel did mention that she felt that you and her weren't in a great place and you started off well and she's like what and so we see a flashback to two days ago angel saying yeah you know at the airport Wendy was particularly dismissive, cold and nasty.

24:39And yes, I made eye contact. No, hello, how are you? I mean, that set the tone for me for the trip. Because the person who said the catfish comment was Wendy. It wasn't Giselle. Don't, don't, don't. Oh, God, ain't don't, don't. The twist in her own storyline that only she cares about. So Tia's like, yes, she thinks that you ignored her actually at the airport. Wendy's like, that's not true. She's like, well, in the event, the whole catfish thing, I thought, Giselle said that but apparently she said that you said it first and Wendy's like no Giselle said it first I didn't necessarily say she was a catfish I was saying I was defining what she was saying which I'm so surprised I remember their specifics I cannot remember a conversation I had three days ago and they are so I mean they we always talk about how we saw Erica Jane in person like Brian Moylan was interviewing Erica Jane for like a vulture fest thing and how Erica Jane said that Yolanda told her always take notes about the conversations you had.

25:35And clearly, clearly they all do this because there's no, I would never remember at this point, the stupid conversation, like what specifically I said. Yeah, which came back to a big fight on Miami this year when Lisa Hochstein was like, I always take notes of our conversations. And they were like, you take notes on us? How dare you? When this advice went all the way back to Yolanda Foster. You see? Yes, that's right. But Lisa was so stupid because she actually told everyone she was taking notes and she was doing the notes in front of people. And then she made it sound like she was keeping tabs on people, but she was just trying to keep her story straight.

26:10Right. So then basically Wendy is saying, no, I was saying that Giselle was saying she was catfish. And she was like, oh, you were translating for her then. And she goes, yeah, but you know what? You got a problem with me doing that, but you didn't have a problem with the person who said to you, to your face that you don't look how you look on social media. I mean, she attacks me every opportunity she gets. You know what? Kiana and Angel are obsessed. They need that validation. Grown women don't argue about stuff like this. Okay. Nevis was a week ago. Go fuck you in that camouflage. You know what?

26:41You know what? You know what? You know what grown women argue about is whether or not they're the closest person to someone else. Okay. That's what we argue about. Not this. And so they're talking about the party coming up and Rob is asking where Stacey's from and Tia says Detroit. And Wendy goes, oh yeah they got some hustlers out there which was pretty funny I feel like that was a recent I feel like they that's a recent adjustment to the scene they're like let's put that let's put that line in there so now it's time for the reasonably shady 10 million downloads party so Kierna's there hey Bobby what's going on and Angel Kierna, Angel and Bobby coming together and everyone's saying hello.

27:27And so Tia, they're talking about, where's Stacy? And Tia's like, well, I did get her on the phone yesterday when I was with Wendy. And when I invited Timo for dinner, she said he'd be flying out that night. But when we were at dinner, she said, he had just flown in. So, cheer on that, everyone. Yeah. So then Angel, Giselle's using the fan, I guess that Angel gave her. And Angel's like, oh, that warms my heart. I just want to know how we can get to know each other better. okay, how can you get to know me better? Do you want to get to know me? Let's play a Cain called Get to Know Me, okay? And she's like, well, there's been some problems.

28:04And Angel goes, oh, yeah, but you already apologized, and I've moved past that. But I haven't addressed Wendy's part. Which is funny because Giselle had apologized a long time ago, and then Angel was like, well, I don't accept it. And then she got mad for like five episodes, and then suddenly she's like, oh, well, you apologized, and I accepted that. I'm like, you didn't you actually never accepted that i don't remember seeing any scene where you accepted that except for when you actually accepted it when it initially happened but then you got mad about it afterwards for the next five episodes yeah and she's like but i haven't addressed wendy's part and you know wendy's saying she's calling you a catfish i mean ha ha ha yeah that's an example of our interactions that have devolved in a mercurial nature what and then just all goes mercurial nature.

28:49Please give me a definition. Please. And on the screen we see mercurial, a sprightly, volatile, or thievish person. Yeah, I don't know if that's the right use of mercurial in that context. But it is funny. Conversations have devolved in a mercurial fashion. So, Giselle's like, I don't know what this means. I don't even think Angel knows what it means. She has a delayed reaction to, like, everything we do. And when she processes it, she wants to talk about it right now. and I don't care about her right now. I care about celebrating me. So Giselle's like, I think Giselle's like, I'm just happy it's not me.

29:23It has to do with this bullshit. She's like, whatever. And Angel's like, where is Wendy? Where is she? And Giselle's like, oh God, here we go. So we see Wale from Love Hotel. Gross. And Wale does such the Wale thing, which is that he comes in, all smiles and good looking, and he totally ignores Ashley and gives Giselle a big hug and is like all up on Giselle and Ashley's right there. and she's like um hello and then it's like they have to actually point out like hey there's ashley and then he gives ashley like a hug oh i didn't see you but he's totally giving her the cold shoulder which was totally the way he operated on love hotel when he was mad he got so passive aggressive yeah he was a jerk on there and then he's like oh god i didn't know i was going to be on tv yes you did you signed a release coming in here get out of here he goes where's robin there it is there's the person to ask someone finally asked it so he's like well i'm just here for robin i didn't even see ashley and um i guess he's brought what he bring flowers or something oh i don't know what he brought something he brought flowers but he also has a grill in his mouth and ashley is like oh really like this is so wale he just is gonna show up and like have a grill in his mouth but then they show footage of ashley wearing a grill a few days earlier So then he does They do say hello awkwardly or whatever And he meets Jazzy And they talk about him being on Love Hotel And Ashley's like yeah He was clearly fake on Love Hotel I mean what a jerk Like I was going to put him on my Instagram Wow I'm glad you didn't I'm glad you didn't sully that all important Instagram feed The Ashley Darby feed I'm like have there been photos of Michael Darby on there before Because I'm not sure what they were the things are um i like actually calling him fake when she was probably dating beavis that whole time but whatever it's actually so um then stacy wendy and eddie arrive and you know come in and stacy sees vivian and she's like seeing vivian is neither here nor there i've let that friendship go she would put me in the same outfit as other friends but i will always keep it classy pat your hair down and send you on your way because she does do that to vivian she comes in she's like hello Vivian and then she like runs her hand down her hair and pats it yeah she does so then Wendy Wendy's congratulating Giselle on 10 million downloads and all that and then we see Jazzy and Kay and Angel ordering drinks at the bar and Giselle Giselle makes her announcement she goes hello hello reasonably shady was started during the pandemic we were bored Rob and I are friends We had nothing to do.

32:02So Robin's not here. Something came up. She had to sit on the sofa for a moment. So sorry. She's you only get me here today. Robin is in bed. Let's face it. And so when he's like, this makes no sense. Like, don't have us thinking we're coming to see the Queens and we just get to see Diana Ross. Like, I mean, come on. Where's the group? Where's your backup dancer? Where's Robin? Where's Wob? Is she on the couch? Does this him? she had to deal with a sudden influx of embellished hat orders. So she couldn't make it today. So they put in a clip of Robin being like, it's so hard to get out of bed, which is so cruel because that was her depression storyline.

32:41She was like, Jazzy, Jazzy appears. She almost looks like she's wearing a wedding dress in her confessional. I'm like, okay, Jazzy, we get it. She's like, look, I didn't get my, my wedding only got five seconds on TV. So I'm going to prolong it as much as I can. But she goes, girl, get up off the couch and come support your friends. so yeah ashley yeah ashley says um you know she's like she basically says that giselle's putting on a brave brave face but she can tell that um she's really upset that robin is not there so stacy pulls wendy aside for a talk and um stacy's like okay well i wanted to rehash last night you know because when we talk it's one way but then you're in the group and you act another way and he is like well when i first met you i'd heard a lot about you and i didn't want to form an opinion on you, so I took time to get to know you.

33:30I saw your daughter swim terribly, and I said, I'm done with her. I got up at five in the morning to come meet you and your husband, who couldn't even smile, and your daughter, because I am interested. Or should I say, I was interested. That's called a princess dis. Okay, I was interested in having a friendship with you, so when I was there, I invited you to dinner. Do you remember that? Admittedly, I said it in Spanish, because I having a Cuban flashback, but, you know, I just didn't invite you. I invited you to comida. I'm sorry, this isn't college anymore. And Tia's like, well, you invited my husband, and he politely declined, and he said no.

34:13Oh, well, he said he was flying out the evening of the dinner, is what I understood. No, he was flying out on Wednesday evening. Don't you remember Wednesday evening? And so then Stacey's like, you know, the problem with you, No, you told me he was flying out the next day. And she goes, well, the problem with you is, no, there's no fucking problem with me. But the problem with you is, no, clearly there's no fucking problem with you. The problem's with you. Everybody who has seen you has called you a liar. And I have given you the benefit of the doubt. You thought I was foolish. Don't let this accent fool you.

34:49I don't think that accent makes you, people think you're foolish. I think that accent automatically makes everybody think you're smarter than everybody, right? Yeah. When I hear that accent, I'm like, oh my God, it's so glamorous, you know? Don't let this accent fool you. I'm very unintelligent.

35:08So Tia's like, well, Stacy will say whatever she needs to say to be said. Whatever needs to be said. But she'll slit out of any crook and cranny to try and get out scot-free. And I was a good bloody friend to her for five minutes at a swim match. but of course she switched on me so I know today she's not a friend she's actually a phone so Kiara was like ooh here's my chance well let's talk about showing up today okay cause let's talk about who the real friends are cause last week I thought it was amazing that Monique shared her whole entire like healing journey with her husband so then 10 minutes after that I was on the phone with Cookie and at this point Cookie is sort of like has drifted over Cookie's lingering in the background just kind of looking at everybody ready to jump in like, call me when you need me.

35:54Cookie's here. Don't mess with, when you mess with me, you mess with Olive Go-Go music. So she's like, I was on the phone with Cookie and then the other line, Chris called in, so she clicks back and says over to me, like, Stacy, you called him and Monique was thrashing Chris and then like, he treated her like a piece of meat and then thought they had bad sex. And Stacy goes, what are you talking about? And Wendy actually defends Stacy or she's like, I mean, well, how do you know it was Stacy who did that? and she's like well i know it was her why did you do that stacy she goes i don't know what you're talking about what the lies the link the drama and karen is like you know and she says why would i say that and karen is like well cookie's standing right here and she goes when he's like oh my god why are we doing this and cookie's like because you called him and you told him and Cookie's like, what do you mean how?

36:45With a phone. Don't sit up here and act stupid with me. Don't act stupid with me. So when he goes, okay, let me tell you why this is making me very uncomfortable. Okay, because I met with Monique and she told me that if Cookie is around, Cookie's going to trash her. And if we're talking about Monique, I think it's only right for Monique to be here. Can we get Monique at this party, please? No? Okay, I guess we're going to have to have a Cookie scene. So then Stacey just like points. Stacy does this thing where she just points her finger at Cookie. I don't know what she's trying to point at. I don't know what she's trying to be like, see?

37:17She's doing this. I mean, what? Yeah. Just articulating, if you will. The arm is not fully out, but just a little bit. And Cookie looks at her and goes, don't point your finger at me. That was amazing. Calm down, Cookie. You're climaxing too soon, Cookie. So Stacy starts pointing at her and she's like, point your finger at me one more time, lady. And Stacy just keeps pointing. Talk about drama. Talk about length. Talk about a finger. Talk about gesticulation. And Karen is like, calm down, Cookie. Calm down. She's going to blow. Come on. Calm down, Sophia. Don't do it. And she's like, I'm coming with the truth.

38:00And Stacey's like, well, I can point my finger where I want. Don't do it. Don't do it, Stacey. You need to go take a bath with your funky ass, Cookie says. Cookie, calm down. come on someone come on. I am gone. So Keirna's like, Monique's talking about getting into a good space of coping with her ex-husband and her healing, guys. And Stacey's like, well, no matter how many times you say it, it doesn't mean it's true. Well, guess what? It ain't true. Since you said you've been in the, what did it? She said, nothing you said has been true since you've been in this goddamn group. And Stacey's like, the only time you get heated, baby, is when it's about me.

38:36Usually you're a zero. So today you made it, maybe took it to a two. So I'm happy to see you here, boo. Okay, happy to see you at a two, boo. Your character's flawed, Cece. I never trusted you around my husband. She goes, you don't have one. And it just ends. I laughed at both. I laughed at both things, actually, because I loved when she goes, your character is flawed. I love that. Your character is flawed. I wouldn't trust you around my husband. You don't have one. and that Stacy sort of like shrugs like sorry bitch you don't have one oh my god the fact that they spent the whole episode building a case against Stacy they finally confront Stacy and Stacy wipes the floor with Kay in the very last line was gold you can't have Kay go in to do that like you need Giselle to do that Kierna because Kierna is just throwing whatever she can against all she is trying so hard she just is not there yet and she has no chill she comes right in the middle of another argument and then she just spits it all out there it's just she's badly done i mean this is her third season and she's still just not doing great i mean it is getting to be funny now though with kierna it is she's just so bad at it kierna and angel like just being you know what droop and drip or whatever it is it's actually hilarious how like angel being such a downer kierna just trying so hard it is it is hilarious but really the breakout star of this episode of course was cookie because cookie you know the way she just snapped at stacy like so quickly oh it was so great it was hilarious yeah like holding back cookie is they're like come on calm down calm down cookie calm down yeah this really pulled her away but But also I love that Stacey holds her ground.

40:28She's like, I'll keep on pointing at you. You know, they're like, it was great. It was such a hilarious fight. Yeah. Stacey is really not afraid of anybody, which I like. That's what I think what everyone is real. Like what's, that's, what's so funny about her is that she has this sort of campy, um, presentation that is like, it's, it feels very much like in a 1980s kind of soap opera kind of vibe, uh, in terms of like, there's like a fakeness about the way she talks. that's so QVC, which is very funny, but we know that she can, she really can handle herself and she's very shady and in a way. And so like, like that dichotomy of personalities is, is very entertaining to me.

41:07And the fact that they have to bring in outside cast members to confront her, like none of them can bring her down. They are all trying to bring her down. You got Tia coming in, Stacey didn't care. She didn't pay her any mind. So they have to bring in an outside force and Stacey still just wipes the floor with them. It's amazing how she does it. It's really good. I just want to say also, I think Tia is so tremendous too. I love Tia. She's so funny and she's so good. She does hold her own as well. It's not like Tia lost this argument. It was just Kiana came in and ruined everything. Tia is a great addition.

41:46Between Stacey and Tia and Wendy Dee's having her best season that she may have ever had. You know, Ashley's having like a waning season, but I still think Ashley has a totally deserved place. She's having a decent season, I think. Yeah, I mean, but people are like, what is Ashley even doing? Like, Ashley is Ashley. She's part of this group. Let's not try to fire Ashley. I think Ashley is an essential part of it. Giselle is Giselle. The cast is actually in a remarkably great place. And even though Kiana and Angel are big duds, the fact that they are duds is actually oddly entertaining to me. Like, it's like acknowledge that they're duds.

42:24The season is getting kind of mixed reviews, I think. But I will say it's half a new cast. And when you have a new cast, you've got to give them till their second season to really get firing, I think. But I think it's a pretty good season. I've been laughing my ass off. I love this season. I think by next year, it'll be killer, especially with Karen back. I mean, Karen and Tia in the same space is going to be very, very funny. oh I think it's gonna be I think it'd be wonderful I think the season's awesome I'm surprised I was surprised when I first heard that there was some people were not into the season because I think it's like the strongest in years I love it I think it's great alright everybody well thank you so much for being here we will talk to you manana bye bye watch what crappens would like to thank its premium sponsors ain't no thing like Allison King it's always a party on Allison block our way is the Amberway.
