Taylor Carter-Jones welcomes you to The Drama Desk, where Bravo's most dramatic moments get the unfiltered analysis they deserve. Her first episode focuses primarily on what's happened so far on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16. Taylor delivers a passionate deep-dive into the return of fan-favorite Porsha Williams, whose storyline appears frustratingly limited by restrictions from ex-Simon Guobadia .
The newest cast members receive a thorough evaluation—Angela Oakley wins praise for her authenticity and quotable moments despite questionable wig choices, while newcomer Brit Eady faces criticism for bringing an inappropriate energy that feels misplaced on RHOA. The explosive confrontation between Kenya and Brit at the Kenya Moore Hair Spa represents a concerning escalation that crosses traditional housewives boundaries, with Kenya's subsequent absence leaving viewers without her perspective.
Taylor doesn't hold back when discussing Ralph Pittmas's behavior during his divorce from Drew Sidora, calling out his controlling tactics and questionable parenting choices. The commentary takes a personal turn as Taylor connects these on-screen dynamics to real-life divorce experiences, adding emotional weight to the analysis. We get into the Nashville trip which introduces new dramatic elements as Porsha's friends bring shocking revelations (allegedly) about Drew's personal life that promise to drive future episodes into even more explosive territory.
Beyond just recapping the episodes, Taylor examines how these reality TV moments reflect genuine human experiences around divorce, co-parenting, friendship boundaries, and personal reinvention. Join the conversation each week for brutally honest takes on reality TV's most dramatic moments and the cultural conversations they inspire.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome to the Drama Desk.
I'm your host, taylorCarter-Jones, and I will be
regaling you with tales of whatI've been watching on Bravo
Maybe some other channelssometimes, but mostly Bravo and
what's happening in pop culture,what I like, what I don't like
and hopefully, what I like, youlike and what I don't like, you
(00:22):
don't like.
And we can kiki together hereonce a week.
How do you feel about that?
You can't answer, so I'll keepgoing.
So I'm a little bit behind, Imust admit, on the real
housewives of Atlanta.
I'm not technically behind,because I have watched the past
six episodes, um, but I haven'ttalked about it.
(00:43):
So what I'm going to do is tryto give you as condensed well,
hell, let's just get into it.
So I don't know about you, butI for one out of billions, was
super excited for season 16 ofAtlanta, especially since we've
been waiting so long and my girl, portia, was coming back.
(01:06):
I am a Portia stan Love her.
I've loved her since.
Well, I haven't loved her sincethe beginning, but I did like
her and she grew on me over time, but she was definitely one of
my top gals.
Um, aside from Nini, the queenof Atlanta, I care what no one
says about Nene and her headinflation and how that changed
(01:28):
her as a Bravo queen, but youknow it is what it is.
I still love her.
If they brought her back, Iwould stand for it.
I digress, portia is back, soexcited about that.
So far, within the past sixepisodes let's say seven
episodes, because there was anew episode recently, um, where
(01:48):
they're in Nashville, and I'llget into that later, but right
now, as I said, I'm just goingto talk about what I like and
don't like so far.
So, like Portia so far, itmakes me sad that she can't
share as much as I'm sure thatshe normally would because of
old Simon, as much as I'm surethat she normally would because
of old Simon.
We'll call him that.
He's a real D-bag, didn't well,kind of, we knew that Fallon
(02:11):
Oops, but yeah, we'll move on.
Shamia we've seen her forseveral seasons.
So now we've seen inside of herhouse and now we've found out
that she likes to sing and she'sa good singer.
Go girl, I like all of herlittle fun shade.
She had me on the floor talkingabout the 90s nose.
(02:35):
That was really mean and aswomen I think that we can't win,
no matter what you get yournose done.
You don't get your nose done.
Somebody's going to havesomething to say about it.
So, but it was funny.
It was funny with the LatoyaJackson nose.
But go off, latoya, you queen.
So yeah, it was funny.
And then her coming along withthe olive branch in olive oil,
(02:57):
which is not generally how anolive branch grows.
But go ahead, shamia AKAShamina.
So we'll move into Angela, missAngela Oakley.
So far, I like her and her fan.
She gives me life.
She had one of the quotes.
There's been seven episodes,but one of the quotes of season
(03:18):
16 so far for me was I am notperimenopausal, I'm just the
hottest bitch in the room.
Go off, sis.
I like that, you and your fan.
You keep blowing girl and yourwig.
Somebody do something aboutthat.
Maybe next season, if she comesback which I think she will
based on her track record so farthey can get her a different
(03:38):
glue or a different wig.
Maybe she can borrow somethingfrom Portia.
Maybe she can borrow somethingfrom Portia a little, go naked.
Maybe if she gets back intoMiss Kenya's good graces uh, she
can get some hair from her.
I don't know.
But go ahead, sis, I like her.
She keeps it real.
She's really low-key.
She's not trying to steal thespotlight or be a star, which I
(04:02):
appreciate.
So we like Angela so far.
Speaking of trying to be a starBrit, I'm not a fan.
So, knowing out of the gatewhat was going to happen in
between, who let me backtrack?
I only became a Kenya fan inlike season 14.
(04:26):
Maybe it wasn't season 14.
Maybe it was the RealHousewives of Atlanta.
No, I'm wrong.
Maybe it was the Ultimate GirlsTrip that Kenya went on.
That made me interested in herwhen she told Ramona off,
because I hate loathe, despiseRamona.
(04:50):
She's trash, she's gross, she'sracist.
No, thank you.
If they do a reality show onFox News, fox Network, no,
probably Fox News, not thenetwork itself, maybe she can
get with that.
But Ramona should never be onTV again, and that's my personal
(05:12):
opinion as a brown woman inAmerica.
Anyway, um, yeah, so it tookuntil then for me, like in Kenya
, uh, and she'd been on for alittle minute before that.
But I love Nini, like I said,and I love Portia.
(05:33):
So for me I couldn't be a Kenyafan because she was always
coming at their necks.
Albeit funny, sometimes a lotof the time, taking it too far,
but yeah, so that's how I feelabout that.
Uh oh, I didn't even talk aboutBrit.
I started talking about her andthen I stopped.
I don't know, she just seemslike a try hard.
Her nephew gave it away in theepisode where they were having
(05:54):
dinner at her house and they hadlobster and the nephew was like
we don't even we don't havelobster, what is this Like?
Okay, you should have done alittle brief with the fam before
we started recording so thatthey knew better and they could
go along with your fugazi ass.
(06:18):
But you didn't do that, so itjust looked a little bit of a
mess.
But I'll get more into Brit asI talk about the episode where
they go to the bank the lastKenya episode and then get into
(06:38):
more of that.
And Kelly I didn't like Kelly atfirst because she came at
Portia's neck and I didn't likethat.
But since then, you know, Ilike Kelly.
She didn't like Kelly at firstbecause she came at Portia's
neck, um, and I didn't like that.
But since then, you know, Ilike Kelly.
She's cool.
She had a little uh, chittychat with Portia and they made
(06:59):
jokes and Portia likes her.
So I like her.
Can I think for myself?
Absolutely.
Am I a Portia stan?
Absolutely Do I think Portia isright all of the time?
Absolutely not, but yeah, youcool with Portia.
You absolutely Do.
I think Portia is right all thetime?
Absolutely not, but yeah, youcool with Portia, you cool with
me.
I also appreciate Kelly'shonesty off the rip, talking
about her divorce with this guy,mark, who seems like a real
piece of shit.
She really caught me if shehadn't already, when she was
(07:23):
doing yoga with her daughter oneof the four of her daughters
who was not from the marriagethat she's currently divorcing
out of, but knew the daughter.
The man Mark knew the daughtersince she was two.
Now the daughter's 17, and hewon't have any contact with her.
(07:44):
That's 15 years that you had arelationship with this child and
I'm sorry, there's something inthe DSM catalog that would
describe you, sir, you seem likea real shitty kitty.
Okay, not a fan as someonewho's going through a divorce
myself, we'll get into that oneday and has a no contact
(08:08):
situation with their child.
I can't go for that.
And then that speaks onto Pushaand her little baby, pj, who I
can't remember how old she is,but she's younger than 10.
And Simon developed arelationship with her and won't
talk with PJ and PJ's askingabout him.
That's so sad, like that'sgross.
What is what is wrong withthese people?
(08:29):
They need help, like serioushelp, and I wish them the worst.
No, not really, I'm justkidding.
I'm just kidding, but I don'twish them great.
But I wish them help, thoughthat y'all do that.
So, moving on from Mark pieceof shit Mark, um, moving on from
(08:59):
piece of shit Mark there'sanother piece of shit man In the
third divorce that's happeningin the cast and that's Ralph.
I'm going to take a momentbecause I have a lot to say
about Ralph.
I don't know if I would callhim the number one piece of shit
(09:24):
of the three Simon, mark andRalph.
Yeah, maybe, actually yeah,Because you know Simon's doing
his dirt online but won't letPortia film in her house, which
is messing with her food and herdaughter's food.
Right, because she could besharing more if she was allowed
(09:45):
to film in her home, I believe.
And whatever stipulations Simonhas put up so that she can't
talk about certain things, Ithink that that's really
hindering her performance,especially when we were so
excited for her comeback, butanyway.
So Simon sucks back.
(10:08):
But anyway.
So Simon sucks, and also thathe's going online and just like
saying crazy stuff online butwon't let Portia say anything.
There's got to be some type ofcourt order for that.
I don't know the law, so don'task me because I'm not the one
with the answers, but there'sgot to be something that can be
put in place.
Portia, portia, give somebody acall.
Anyway, mark's a big old pieceof shit, but I guess he'll be
(10:28):
third, because I don't thinkhe's going online.
I could be wrong.
Don't come for me if I am,because I just admitted that I
could be wrong.
So how about that?
But Ralph and I could blameproduction, but I won't, because
I know that.
They said, hey, ralphie, wouldyou like a confessional?
(10:49):
And Ralphie said yes.
And they said hey, ralphie, youwant to put on a shirt?
And he said no.
So he's back in the ninetieslooking like God damn, who was
that man?
Mc Hammer's ass, bobby Brown'sass, with this jacket, suit,
(11:10):
jacket and no shirt.
Like you're trying to picksomebody up, ralph, you are not
it.
You are not it.
And any woman out there who islooking at Ralph saying yes, yes
, that's for me, please continueto watch the show, please watch
the last two seasons.
He is trash.
(11:31):
He is trash, he's a bad man.
You're coming on the showknowing good and damn well.
You talk about how much moneyyou make.
You don't need the show.
Why are you on here?
Just to bother Drew.
You know your kids are going tosee this one day, but you're
(11:52):
not thinking about that.
Huh honey, you're thinkingabout you, and that's the
problem all along.
Ask Tampa.
Okay, I'm going to quickly gothrough episode four and five,
and by quickly go through, Imean I'm going to quickly go
through episode four and five,and by quickly go through, I
mean I'm going to talk about thefact that I think that Kenya
did, was dead dog wrong.
Do I think that Brit deservedwhat she got?
(12:17):
No, no, I don't, um, but I dothink that Brit was also wrong,
but did.
But listen, I'll say it again.
One doesn't cancel out theother.
They were both wrong.
Britt, you have no right, afterwhat, three weeks of filming,
coming out saying that Kenya wasgunning for you from jump?
No, she wasn't.
No, she wasn't.
(12:37):
Have you been watching the RealHousewives of Atlanta for the
past, or in season 16?
Kenya came in, let's say,season four or five.
That might be a lie.
I didn't do my research.
Whatever, I'm sorry She'd beenon for at least 10 years, right?
You've seen Kenya's work,sweetie.
You've seen when Kenya comesfor somebody.
(12:58):
She wasn't coming for you.
She might have given you alittle fun shade about your ring
.
I think she was genuinelyasking just to give you a little
conversation, but that's all.
I don't think she was reallycoming for her.
I think if she wanted to comefor her she would have.
And, like I said, we've allseen that, so we know what that
looks like.
And, to be honest, brit, youseem like a fan, so I know, you
(13:18):
know.
I think that Brit, getting allrah-rah talking about some
pistols and whips, this is notLove Hip Hop Atlanta.
You can easily go on to LoveHip Hop Atlanta.
I'm sure that you know someonewith a record deal that would
put you on.
You dated Rick Ross.
Eh, I think you could make itwork.
(13:38):
Her behavior to me is more of aMona Scott Young brand than an
Andy Cohen brand.
Okay, and that's just how Ifeel.
I don't like it when wethreaten people with guns.
I've never seen that.
On Atlanta.
Now, atlanta has done someoutlandish things, but never
(14:00):
that.
That's low.
That is very low for what?
Feeling like Kenya was tryingto have a moment.
I think you were trying to havea moment, baby.
Let's be honest.
You've been trying to have amoment since you started with
your lobsters, with your strangestories, with your
(14:20):
ever-changing personalitystrange stories with your
ever-changing personality.
I it's just not for real.
Housewives of atlanta.
For me, she's giving very muchlove and hip-hop, atlanta and um
, I would love for you to go onthere and for rashida to put you
in your place, okay, or one ofthem, any of them, really, the
Bam have her, bam Bam.
(14:49):
But yeah, so Kenya was wrong.
I wish that they would havegiven her at least a
confessional or three in thepast five episodes, just, I
don't know, just to get her take.
And I wish that something hadbeen done about brit threatening
her.
I feel like you shouldn't beable to threaten another cast
member like that on record, likeit wasn't something that people
(15:10):
talked about offline.
This, we saw it, we heard it,and she kept going off and it
seemed like her pop-off did notmatch the situation.
Now I I could see if Kenya hadbeen poking, poking, poking and
then she popped off, but thatwasn't the case, so it was
really weird for me.
I hate that Kenya missed out ona huge opportunity, I feel, to
(15:35):
really big up her hard work andinstead used it to try to dump
on Brit.
But you know it is what it isand we'll move forward.
I wish Kenya the best.
I hope that she comes back.
If Portia can come back oh, mybad.
If Phaedra, phaedra okay, ifPhaedra can come back, kenya can
(16:02):
come back.
She didn't do anything to me asbad as what Phaedra did, and I
hope that she comes back nextseason or the following season
sometime.
I would really love for her tocome back and for Britt to be
gone, because in watchingepisodes six and seven and
watching episodes 6 and 7.
5 too, honey I haven't seenanything of redeeming factors
(16:28):
for Brit that she needs to stayon this show.
I'm not a fan.
And ain't she and Kelly notfriends anymore?
She don't need to be on theshow.
She's not friends with Angelaeither, because at the peace
brunch peace my ass.
Hmm, she might have brought herpeace.
Don't have her act up whenthey're talking about what
(16:59):
happened, and obviously you cantell.
Some of the women met up withKenya and talked to her after
the incident at her salon andthey were bringing that there
and just trying to I don't knowfind like some type of happy
medium for everybody.
Wasn't gonna happen.
Um, obviously, based on brit'sreaction and then talking about
how she could lose her licensebased off of this, which seems
untrue and angela brought thatup and she started popping off
again.
So what we're seeing is Brit isa hothead.
(17:22):
She's got a short, tiny littlefuse and she loves to pop off.
And I'll say it once, I alreadysaid it thrice, but I'll say it
eight more times I think sheneeds to be on a different show.
This is not for her.
Bad Girls Club.
Hit them up.
I think that she would do greatthere.
(17:43):
I think that the level is justnot.
It's just not, it's not.
So, yeah, I thought it wasreally funny Shamia saying that
they went from tranquil totranquilizers needing
tranquilizers because the girlwas going off and Angela was
completely right, knowing thebusiness.
(18:05):
It seemed as if Britt realizedthat Angela knew what she was
talking about, so she gotrah-rah instead of saying you
know what I'm in my feelings?
I exaggerated, I didn't want toadmit to the fact that I'm also
going through some type offraud thing that has nothing to
do with Kenya, but I'm going topretend it does because I'm
(18:26):
playing the victim right now,which she is a victim, right,
but she's milking it a littlebit.
I'm not sorry, she's milking itand that's just how I feel.
So we start our most recentepisode with Brit talking about
(18:47):
how she gets a new car every twoyears.
Okay, girl, okay, just stop,stop it, I'm not into it.
Maybe I'll get into it movingforward.
We have many episodes left, butso far no.
(19:09):
And the nerve to talk about howyou're a girl's girl and blase,
blase, and how you wouldn't dowhat Angela had done to you, but
then said the things that Icould say about Angela.
Well then, you're doing thesame thing that I could say
about Angela.
Well then, you're doing thesame thing, angela.
You're accusing Angela of doingStop it, stop it.
I don't like that.
(19:29):
If I had a dollar for everytime a housewife said I could
say this, but I don't in aninterview, I would be able to
apply to be a real housewife ofwhatever state I decided to live
in at that time.
Yes, we move on to Angela'shouse, where we find out shocker
that Drew is actually notMichael Jordan's cousin, as she
(19:51):
claimed in the last episode,saying that her maiden name was
Jordan Girl.
Bye, drew be lying.
Drew be lying, drew be lying.
I'm not into it.
Not a Drew fan, though.
Let me tell you something Inthis episode she looked stellar.
That champagne coif with thechampagne shadow it was.
(20:13):
It was giving, it was giving.
I'll give her that I liked it.
Now I think it is completelyinappropriate in real life, but
appropriate for the housewivesthat Angela has invited drew on
the first trip.
We all know ain't nothing goodcoming from that, not a damn
(20:33):
thing good.
So then we get to kelly's houseand cynthia is back.
I love cynthia.
I don't care who says she'sboring, I love cynthia.
She's gorgeous and wonderful,and I think that production is
doing way too much making itseem like cynthia's got this
laundry list when she's talkingabout what she's looking for in
her next partner.
I think that everything thatshe said was rather reasonable.
(20:55):
Leave Cynthia alone.
I know she's in a newrelationship.
I hope her ass is happy becauseshe deserves it.
My love little Cynthia.
Then Portia and Shamia arriveand we find out that Portia has
added four more girls onto thetrip, which it's her prerogative
.
It's her slash productions trip.
So we learned later that thatbrings the sauce.
(21:20):
Okay, and I'm here for it.
Hello, maniera, we've missedyou.
I'd love to see her as morerecurring friend of I like her,
I like her.
(21:40):
So, okay, not a Drew fan.
But now we're at Drew and Brithaving dinner, because Brit
feels like they got off on thewrong foot.
I feel like they didn't.
I feel like that this was puttogether because Drew is team
Kenya and we'll stay that way,and they want them to have
common ground, so they made themgo out for these little drinks
and they want them to havecommon ground, so they made them
go out for these little drinks,whatever they get their little
(22:00):
lemon drops.
I remember high school Um,andrew was really on to chip,
but I like it because she asksold girl if she's ever sold the
cat the cat for money.
Now, this sounds like somethingGiselle Bryant of Real
Housewives of Potomac would say,and I enjoyed it because I love
my girl, giselle.
Um, but yeah, she says she'snot.
And then Drew asked her if she'sever been in porn.
(22:21):
And I don't know what was inher throat that she was choking
on so hard, Brit, that shecouldn't say whether she was or
was not in porn.
Hmm.
So um me to wonder leaves me towonder.
A little Google search wouldfigure that out.
And no shade, no shame.
(22:42):
Do you Do what you want to do?
It's your body, your choice.
Sweetie, you want to be a camgirl with your bestie for a week
, allegedly, and just sittopless answering questions or
whatever you were doing.
That's fine.
What pisses me off is that youmade it seem like you were a
teenager when that happened, andnow you come out and say that
you were in your 20s.
(23:02):
So to me, brit be lying too.
Drew be lying, brit be lying.
I don't trust either of them.
If I had to pick one, though, Iwould pick Drew over Britt,
because I'm used to Drew'sannoying ass.
So this is really sad this part,the Ralph and Drew of it all,
(23:26):
because this divorce seemsreally contentious and annoying,
and I truly despise Ralph and Ihope that he looks back at this
one day and realizes what apoop-butt he is.
But as soon as I saw Ralph'shome video, I threw up a little
bit of my mouth because what thefuck?
Why do you have a home video?
Why are you submitting a homevideo?
(23:47):
But then I saw that Drew had ahome video and I thought this is
a legal thing.
Could production not recordthem on their own property
driving to the court?
I think they could.
Maybe they were busy that dayand so they both had to submit
their own recordings.
But I don't know.
I don't know what pisses me off,and I said it earlier this man,
(24:13):
ralph I use man loosely actslike he is paying all the bills.
He's paying the mortgage, he'spaying this, he's paying that.
My guy, then why are you livingin your basement?
Let your wife and the mother ofyour children live in the house
that they are used to and yougo get you an apartment, go get
(24:35):
a condo, go get a whole assother house.
You got it like that, daddyright, so move on.
Makes me think you're a liar.
Makes me think that you're anarcissist.
Makes me think you're crazy.
Order a line Not even you havetold the line.
You're a narcissist.
Makes me think you're crazy.
Borderline Not even you havetold the line.
(24:58):
You're over the line.
You're out of control.
Think about your kids, bruh.
Think about your kids.
That's all I have to say aboutthat.
That's insane.
When I left little interjectionhere, when I left my husband.
He was trying to stay in ourhome instead of letting me and
our child stay in the home.
So this touches a sore spot forme.
(25:20):
I don't understand it.
It makes no sense.
I don't know what you'rethinking.
I'm not supposed to.
I guess You're trash, so then.
So then, for you to get out ofyour hearing because they let
you stay in the basement, I knowwhat judge, what cracker box
(25:40):
judge.
This is make that man leavethat house.
You out on the lawn dancinglike you don't have any sense,
doing what looked like aninterview with who knows who.
You should be ashamed ofyourself.
You should truly be ashamed ofyourself doing what looked like
an interview with who knows who.
You should be ashamed ofyourself.
You should truly be ashamed ofyourself.
Now, as far as the sealing andunsealing of the case, I feel
(26:04):
like there's some dirt on bothof them and that's why Drew is
so upset.
She's mad upset, not just upsetbecause the kids are going to
say stuff about their dad.
It seems like it's hitting homea little more than that.
I get it.
I totally get that.
That would bother me too.
I don't want my kids my kidslove their dad.
I don't want them to see badstuff about their dad.
I get that, but I think thatthere's some secrets about Drew
(26:28):
too, and I guess we know them,we're going to know them, I don.
We know them, we're going toknow them.
I don't know, I don't know.
Ralph is a fool.
Ralph is a damn fool andsomebody needs to slap him.
We're his parents, we're hisparents, we're his friends.
Somebody help that man.
Jesus, jesus, please take thatman's wheel, amen.
(26:52):
So now we're in Nashville, we'reheading to Nashville, we're on
the plane.
Angela missed her flight.
Everybody else got there ontime.
I hate to sound like a hater Ireally do, but I really wish
they would put a better unit onAngela's head.
She's a beautiful woman and shedeserves beautiful hair as well
(27:20):
.
Sis, sis.
Anyway, cynthia I can't withher talking about nothing stays
on a girl's trip.
You're damn right, it's RealHousewives.
We go on the girl's trips fordirt, dirt, don't we?
Especially that drew is comingand portia doesn't want her
there and portia's going to be alittle hennyed out.
(27:41):
We know this.
So expect chaos, okay, and I amhere for it, as long as it
doesn't go too far, right.
So we get into the house, therooms there's like three rooms
that are decent, that are nicerooms, not decent.
(28:03):
Decent was, uh, the wrong word.
But then we've got a roomthat's got like eight beds in it
for snow white and the sevendwarfs, um, and a bunk bedroom.
Didn't we just see this onpotom?
Seven Dwarfs and a bunk bedroom?
Didn't we just see this onPotomac?
What are we doing?
A bunk bedroom for?
I don't know who makes thephone call to Airbnb or whatever
rental service that they'reusing for these homes.
(28:24):
If it's production, you shadyas hell.
If it's Portia's assistant,you're either shady or not
paying attention.
But I wouldn't want to stay inone of those rooms either.
So I don't blame anybody.
I thought it was really funny ofKelly talking about Kevin.
I shrunk the goddamn kids inthe attic.
Girl, you're mixing up threemovies.
That's three different movies,honey.
(28:45):
But I love it.
I like Kelly, I like Will Kelly.
She seems like a good time.
I would want to hang out withher.
Um, yeah, then we're sitting atdinner, lunch, lunch, ish,
early, whatever.
And here we got brit againtalking shit, being the victim,
(29:07):
making it like angela didsomething to her.
Angela didn't do nothing to you, boo, stop it, stop it.
I don't like that, then wantsto be all fake in Angela's face
giving her a hug.
Now, I know we've got to do theair kiss, but, girl, if you
feel so strongly about it, giveher a little.
We've seen it happen before.
(29:31):
You could do that, go ahead.
But you're fake, groupie, lying, I'm not here.
Her, I don't think that that'sgoing to change.
We're going out on the town.
We meet Portia's four friends,who we definitely need because,
like I said, they're bringingthe sauce.
(29:51):
We'll get to that.
We have a flash of Drew at theclub with her sister.
What's going on here?
You're celebrating, right, butyou're in a private room with
just you and your sister and gooff.
That's still a celebration.
Yes, I love to hang out with mysister.
She's one of my best friends.
However, you're making it outto be this whole big thing when
(30:15):
it's not Also something I didn'tmention in my short recap
earlier.
Drew, drew, drew, drew, Drew,drew.
Why is Dennis in every one ofyour scenes?
Why is Dennis always on yourphone?
Why is Dennis in every one ofyour scenes?
(30:36):
Why is Dennis always on yourphone?
Why is this happening?
You have enough going on.
Ralph is enough.
You didn't need this extrastoryline, honey, and I don't
think it's going to play intoyour favor, but we will see,
honey, wait until the reunion,wait until the reunion.
I can't wait until the reunion,anyway, so we go.
I almost said horseback riding.
(30:56):
Yes, we're up bull riding.
Shamia and kelly have thehighest number for the bull
riding.
Go sisters, both of them let mego to eat, and one of them, ang
.
Angela's talking about how shedidn't really understand that
(31:18):
Portia didn't want Drew to come,because Portia never came out
and said it directly.
She said it indirectly 20 times.
She didn't have her on the call, on the FaceTime call, zoom,
whatever they used.
She made mention of it.
You know the situation.
Come on, you needed a direct no, you're messy, you're getting
(31:40):
messy.
Angela, I didn't expect thisfrom you.
It's a little messy and nobodyagrees with you at this dinner
table.
And then, thank goodness forProvi, portia's little friend,
who pretended like she didn'tknow what was happening.
Portia's four friends arepeople that Portia probably
actually hangs out with outsideof the show, who, like, actually
know what's happening in herlife.
Grovy, you knew, but go ahead,you gotta carry the storyline.
(32:02):
Make Portia say it again sothat we all remember why she has
a problem with Drew and Lauren.
Bless her, bless her littleheart, for saying that allegedly
certain things happened withMiss Drew and that's why Portia
has a problem with it.
But then old Chanel leave withChanel girl this is her audition
(32:26):
for season 17,.
Talking about Drew done suckedsome dick uh, drew done sucked
some dick.
Hmm, allegedly I'll sayallegedly because I don't want
any problems but Chanel says sheknows.
And then Portia is telling usthat that is how Dennis keeps
his count balanced, not lowbalanced.
(32:49):
I thought that was hilarious.
Thank you, portia.
Spitting out gems here andthere, I love that.
I think that Portia, shamia andAngela are probably the
funniest women on this castright now.
They hit you.
They hit you here and there inthe confessionals.
I love it.
I'm here for it.
So I'm going to be testing somethings out here at the drama
(33:12):
desk and part of that will bedoing a little baby news segment
, just talking about some Bravonews.
What's up in the Bravo sphere?
What's happening?
Mia Mia's leaving.
Speaking of people who be lyingMia be lying, drew be lying and
now Brit be lying.
Anyway, let's now talk aboutDrew and Britt.
(33:36):
Mia Mia's moved to Atlanta andshe will no longer be part of
the Potomac cast Now.
Did I think that that was goingto happen when she stormed off
um of the Potomac reunion?
No, I thought that she wouldjust come back and they would
address it.
But now that she's moving toAtlanta, what does this mean?
What does this mean?
(33:56):
Is she going to Now?
Let me tell you something.
Now I could see Britt beingremoved and them adding Mia.
I think that that would bespicy, seeing Mia interact with
Phaedra and Portia and the restof them.
I think that could be good andat least we know who Mia is in a
(34:20):
sense.
Just don't bring Jacqueline.
I hope that Jacqueline stayedin Potomac and that Mia will be
alone in Atlanta and maybe shecan get a little spot on the
housewives.
Maybe, maybe not, I don't know.
Know.
Let me know what you thinkabout that.
So after dick's out gate, we'llcall it that.
(34:42):
It wasn't that big of a deal.
We'll see, because it seemslike the previews for next
episode it's gonna pop off andI'm ready.
I'm ready for that, superexcited for episode eight.
We're still in Nashville andunfortunately it seems like
Angela has done some recordingof her own.
(35:02):
She said production, production.
Who Wasn't Britney on Salt Lake?
Enough for everyone to know.
Let's just not record unlesswe're doing a fun recording
where everyone knows we'rerecording, and it's after hours
recording at the houses thatwe've rented on vacation.
Those are fine.
It's when you are looking outof a window at people that
(35:24):
that's not cool.
I hope that my view of Angeladoesn't change.
She's tiptoeing toward thefence.
I'm not sure change.
She's tiptoeing toward thefence, I'm not sure.
But we shall see, and hopefullyI'll be back to this desk next
week and you will too.
Ciao.
Hello and welcome to the Drama Desk.
I'm your host, taylorCarter-Jones, and I will be
regaling you with tales of whatI've been watching on Bravo
Maybe some other channelssometimes, but mostly Bravo and
what's happening in pop culture,what I like, what I don't like
and hopefully, what I like, youlike and what I don't like, you
(00:22):
don't like.
And we can kiki together hereonce a week.
How do you feel about that?
You can't answer, so I'll keepgoing.
So I'm a little bit behind, Imust admit, on the real
housewives of Atlanta.
I'm not technically behind,because I have watched the past
six episodes, um, but I haven'ttalked about it.
(00:43):
So what I'm going to do is tryto give you as condensed well,
hell, let's just get into it.
So I don't know about you, butI for one out of billions, was
super excited for season 16 ofAtlanta, especially since we've
been waiting so long and my girl, portia, was coming back.
(01:06):
I am a Portia stan Love her.
I've loved her since.
Well, I haven't loved her sincethe beginning, but I did like
her and she grew on me over time, but she was definitely one of
my top gals.
Um, aside from Nini, the queenof Atlanta, I care what no one
says about Nene and her headinflation and how that changed
(01:28):
her as a Bravo queen, but youknow it is what it is.
I still love her.
If they brought her back, Iwould stand for it.
I digress, portia is back, soexcited about that.
So far, within the past sixepisodes let's say seven
episodes, because there was anew episode recently, um, where
(01:48):
they're in Nashville, and I'llget into that later, but right
now, as I said, I'm just goingto talk about what I like and
don't like so far.
So, like Portia so far, itmakes me sad that she can't
share as much as I'm sure thatshe normally would because of
old Simon, as much as I'm surethat she normally would because
of old Simon.
We'll call him that.
He's a real D-bag, didn't well,kind of, we knew that Fallon
(02:11):
Oops, but yeah, we'll move on.
Shamia we've seen her forseveral seasons.
So now we've seen inside of herhouse and now we've found out
that she likes to sing and she'sa good singer.
Go girl, I like all of herlittle fun shade.
She had me on the floor talkingabout the 90s nose.
(02:35):
That was really mean and aswomen I think that we can't win,
no matter what you get yournose done.
You don't get your nose done.
Somebody's going to havesomething to say about it.
So, but it was funny.
It was funny with the LatoyaJackson nose.
But go off, latoya, you queen.
So yeah, it was funny.
And then her coming along withthe olive branch in olive oil,
(02:57):
which is not generally how anolive branch grows.
But go ahead, shamia AKAShamina.
So we'll move into Angela, missAngela Oakley.
So far, I like her and her fan.
She gives me life.
She had one of the quotes.
There's been seven episodes,but one of the quotes of season
(03:18):
16 so far for me was I am notperimenopausal, I'm just the
hottest bitch in the room.
Go off, sis.
I like that, you and your fan.
You keep blowing girl and yourwig.
Somebody do something aboutthat.
Maybe next season, if she comesback which I think she will
based on her track record so farthey can get her a different
(03:38):
glue or a different wig.
Maybe she can borrow somethingfrom Portia.
Maybe she can borrow somethingfrom Portia a little, go naked.
Maybe if she gets back intoMiss Kenya's good graces uh, she
can get some hair from her.
I don't know.
But go ahead, sis, I like her.
She keeps it real.
She's really low-key.
She's not trying to steal thespotlight or be a star, which I
(04:02):
appreciate.
So we like Angela so far.
Speaking of trying to be a starBrit, I'm not a fan.
So, knowing out of the gatewhat was going to happen in
between, who let me backtrack?
I only became a Kenya fan inlike season 14.
(04:26):
Maybe it wasn't season 14.
Maybe it was the RealHousewives of Atlanta.
No, I'm wrong.
Maybe it was the Ultimate GirlsTrip that Kenya went on.
That made me interested in herwhen she told Ramona off,
because I hate loathe, despiseRamona.
(04:50):
She's trash, she's gross, she'sracist.
No, thank you.
If they do a reality show onFox News, fox Network, no,
probably Fox News, not thenetwork itself, maybe she can
get with that.
But Ramona should never be onTV again, and that's my personal
(05:12):
opinion as a brown woman inAmerica.
Anyway, um, yeah, so it tookuntil then for me, like in Kenya
, uh, and she'd been on for alittle minute before that.
But I love Nini, like I said,and I love Portia.
(05:33):
So for me I couldn't be a Kenyafan because she was always
coming at their necks.
Albeit funny, sometimes a lotof the time, taking it too far,
but yeah, so that's how I feelabout that.
Uh oh, I didn't even talk aboutBrit.
I started talking about her andthen I stopped.
I don't know, she just seemslike a try hard.
Her nephew gave it away in theepisode where they were having
(05:54):
dinner at her house and they hadlobster and the nephew was like
we don't even we don't havelobster, what is this Like?
Okay, you should have done alittle brief with the fam before
we started recording so thatthey knew better and they could
go along with your fugazi ass.
(06:18):
But you didn't do that, so itjust looked a little bit of a
mess.
But I'll get more into Brit asI talk about the episode where
they go to the bank the lastKenya episode and then get into
(06:38):
more of that.
And Kelly I didn't like Kelly atfirst because she came at
Portia's neck and I didn't likethat.
But since then, you know, Ilike Kelly.
She didn't like Kelly at firstbecause she came at Portia's
neck, um, and I didn't like that.
But since then, you know, Ilike Kelly.
She's cool.
She had a little uh, chittychat with Portia and they made
(06:59):
jokes and Portia likes her.
So I like her.
Can I think for myself?
Absolutely.
Am I a Portia stan?
Absolutely Do I think Portia isright all of the time?
Absolutely not, but yeah, youcool with Portia.
You absolutely Do.
I think Portia is right all thetime?
Absolutely not, but yeah, youcool with Portia, you cool with
me.
I also appreciate Kelly'shonesty off the rip, talking
about her divorce with this guy,mark, who seems like a real
piece of shit.
She really caught me if shehadn't already, when she was
(07:23):
doing yoga with her daughter oneof the four of her daughters
who was not from the marriagethat she's currently divorcing
out of, but knew the daughter.
The man Mark knew the daughtersince she was two.
Now the daughter's 17, and hewon't have any contact with her.
(07:44):
That's 15 years that you had arelationship with this child and
I'm sorry, there's something inthe DSM catalog that would
describe you, sir, you seem likea real shitty kitty.
Okay, not a fan as someonewho's going through a divorce
myself, we'll get into that oneday and has a no contact
(08:08):
situation with their child.
I can't go for that.
And then that speaks onto Pushaand her little baby, pj, who I
can't remember how old she is,but she's younger than 10.
And Simon developed arelationship with her and won't
talk with PJ and PJ's askingabout him.
That's so sad, like that'sgross.
What is what is wrong withthese people?
(08:29):
They need help, like serioushelp, and I wish them the worst.
No, not really, I'm justkidding.
I'm just kidding, but I don'twish them great.
But I wish them help, thoughthat y'all do that.
So, moving on from Mark pieceof shit Mark, um, moving on from
(08:59):
piece of shit Mark there'sanother piece of shit man In the
third divorce that's happeningin the cast and that's Ralph.
I'm going to take a momentbecause I have a lot to say
about Ralph.
I don't know if I would callhim the number one piece of shit
(09:24):
of the three Simon, mark andRalph.
Yeah, maybe, actually yeah,Because you know Simon's doing
his dirt online but won't letPortia film in her house, which
is messing with her food and herdaughter's food.
Right, because she could besharing more if she was allowed
(09:45):
to film in her home, I believe.
And whatever stipulations Simonhas put up so that she can't
talk about certain things, Ithink that that's really
hindering her performance,especially when we were so
excited for her comeback, butanyway.
So Simon sucks back.
(10:08):
But anyway.
So Simon sucks, and also thathe's going online and just like
saying crazy stuff online butwon't let Portia say anything.
There's got to be some type ofcourt order for that.
I don't know the law, so don'task me because I'm not the one
with the answers, but there'sgot to be something that can be
put in place.
Portia, portia, give somebody acall.
Anyway, mark's a big old pieceof shit, but I guess he'll be
(10:28):
third, because I don't thinkhe's going online.
I could be wrong.
Don't come for me if I am,because I just admitted that I
could be wrong.
So how about that?
But Ralph and I could blameproduction, but I won't, because
I know that.
They said, hey, ralphie, wouldyou like a confessional?
(10:49):
And Ralphie said yes.
And they said hey, ralphie, youwant to put on a shirt?
And he said no.
So he's back in the ninetieslooking like God damn, who was
that man?
Mc Hammer's ass, bobby Brown'sass, with this jacket, suit,
(11:10):
jacket and no shirt.
Like you're trying to picksomebody up, ralph, you are not
it.
You are not it.
And any woman out there who islooking at Ralph saying yes, yes
, that's for me, please continueto watch the show, please watch
the last two seasons.
He is trash.
(11:31):
He is trash, he's a bad man.
You're coming on the showknowing good and damn well.
You talk about how much moneyyou make.
You don't need the show.
Why are you on here?
Just to bother Drew.
You know your kids are going tosee this one day, but you're
(11:52):
not thinking about that.
Huh honey, you're thinkingabout you, and that's the
problem all along.
Ask Tampa.
Okay, I'm going to quickly gothrough episode four and five,
and by quickly go through, Imean I'm going to quickly go
through episode four and five,and by quickly go through, I
mean I'm going to talk about thefact that I think that Kenya
did, was dead dog wrong.
Do I think that Brit deservedwhat she got?
(12:17):
No, no, I don't, um, but I dothink that Brit was also wrong,
but did.
But listen, I'll say it again.
One doesn't cancel out theother.
They were both wrong.
Britt, you have no right, afterwhat, three weeks of filming,
coming out saying that Kenya wasgunning for you from jump?
No, she wasn't.
No, she wasn't.
(12:37):
Have you been watching the RealHousewives of Atlanta for the
past, or in season 16?
Kenya came in, let's say,season four or five.
That might be a lie.
I didn't do my research.
Whatever, I'm sorry She'd beenon for at least 10 years, right?
You've seen Kenya's work,sweetie.
You've seen when Kenya comesfor somebody.
(12:58):
She wasn't coming for you.
She might have given you alittle fun shade about your ring
.
I think she was genuinelyasking just to give you a little
conversation, but that's all.
I don't think she was reallycoming for her.
I think if she wanted to comefor her she would have.
And, like I said, we've allseen that, so we know what that
looks like.
And, to be honest, brit, youseem like a fan, so I know, you
(13:18):
know.
I think that Brit, getting allrah-rah talking about some
pistols and whips, this is notLove Hip Hop Atlanta.
You can easily go on to LoveHip Hop Atlanta.
I'm sure that you know someonewith a record deal that would
put you on.
You dated Rick Ross.
Eh, I think you could make itwork.
(13:38):
Her behavior to me is more of aMona Scott Young brand than an
Andy Cohen brand.
Okay, and that's just how Ifeel.
I don't like it when wethreaten people with guns.
I've never seen that.
On Atlanta.
Now, atlanta has done someoutlandish things, but never
(14:00):
that.
That's low.
That is very low for what?
Feeling like Kenya was tryingto have a moment.
I think you were trying to havea moment, baby.
Let's be honest.
You've been trying to have amoment since you started with
your lobsters, with your strangestories, with your
(14:20):
ever-changing personalitystrange stories with your
ever-changing personality.
I it's just not for real.
Housewives of atlanta.
For me, she's giving very muchlove and hip-hop, atlanta and um
, I would love for you to go onthere and for rashida to put you
in your place, okay, or one ofthem, any of them, really, the
Bam have her, bam Bam.
(14:49):
But yeah, so Kenya was wrong.
I wish that they would havegiven her at least a
confessional or three in thepast five episodes, just, I
don't know, just to get her take.
And I wish that something hadbeen done about brit threatening
her.
I feel like you shouldn't beable to threaten another cast
member like that on record, likeit wasn't something that people
(15:10):
talked about offline.
This, we saw it, we heard it,and she kept going off and it
seemed like her pop-off did notmatch the situation.
Now I I could see if Kenya hadbeen poking, poking, poking and
then she popped off, but thatwasn't the case, so it was
really weird for me.
I hate that Kenya missed out ona huge opportunity, I feel, to
(15:35):
really big up her hard work andinstead used it to try to dump
on Brit.
But you know it is what it isand we'll move forward.
I wish Kenya the best.
I hope that she comes back.
If Portia can come back oh, mybad.
If Phaedra, phaedra okay, ifPhaedra can come back, kenya can
(16:02):
come back.
She didn't do anything to me asbad as what Phaedra did, and I
hope that she comes back nextseason or the following season
sometime.
I would really love for her tocome back and for Britt to be
gone, because in watchingepisodes six and seven and
watching episodes 6 and 7.
5 too, honey I haven't seenanything of redeeming factors
(16:28):
for Brit that she needs to stayon this show.
I'm not a fan.
And ain't she and Kelly notfriends anymore?
She don't need to be on theshow.
She's not friends with Angelaeither, because at the peace
brunch peace my ass.
Hmm, she might have brought herpeace.
Don't have her act up whenthey're talking about what
(16:59):
happened, and obviously you cantell.
Some of the women met up withKenya and talked to her after
the incident at her salon andthey were bringing that there
and just trying to I don't knowfind like some type of happy
medium for everybody.
Wasn't gonna happen.
Um, obviously, based on brit'sreaction and then talking about
how she could lose her licensebased off of this, which seems
untrue and angela brought thatup and she started popping off
again.
So what we're seeing is Brit isa hothead.
(17:22):
She's got a short, tiny littlefuse and she loves to pop off.
And I'll say it once, I alreadysaid it thrice, but I'll say it
eight more times I think sheneeds to be on a different show.
This is not for her.
Bad Girls Club.
Hit them up.
I think that she would do greatthere.
(17:43):
I think that the level is justnot.
It's just not, it's not.
So, yeah, I thought it wasreally funny Shamia saying that
they went from tranquil totranquilizers needing
tranquilizers because the girlwas going off and Angela was
completely right, knowing thebusiness.
(18:05):
It seemed as if Britt realizedthat Angela knew what she was
talking about, so she gotrah-rah instead of saying you
know what I'm in my feelings?
I exaggerated, I didn't want toadmit to the fact that I'm also
going through some type offraud thing that has nothing to
do with Kenya, but I'm going topretend it does because I'm
(18:26):
playing the victim right now,which she is a victim, right,
but she's milking it a littlebit.
I'm not sorry, she's milking itand that's just how I feel.
So we start our most recentepisode with Brit talking about
(18:47):
how she gets a new car every twoyears.
Okay, girl, okay, just stop,stop it, I'm not into it.
Maybe I'll get into it movingforward.
We have many episodes left, butso far no.
(19:09):
And the nerve to talk about howyou're a girl's girl and blase,
blase, and how you wouldn't dowhat Angela had done to you, but
then said the things that Icould say about Angela.
Well then, you're doing thesame thing that I could say
about Angela.
Well then, you're doing thesame thing, angela.
You're accusing Angela of doingStop it, stop it.
I don't like that.
(19:29):
If I had a dollar for everytime a housewife said I could
say this, but I don't in aninterview, I would be able to
apply to be a real housewife ofwhatever state I decided to live
in at that time.
Yes, we move on to Angela'shouse, where we find out shocker
that Drew is actually notMichael Jordan's cousin, as she
(19:51):
claimed in the last episode,saying that her maiden name was
Jordan Girl.
Bye, drew be lying.
Drew be lying, drew be lying.
I'm not into it.
Not a Drew fan, though.
Let me tell you something Inthis episode she looked stellar.
That champagne coif with thechampagne shadow it was.
(20:13):
It was giving, it was giving.
I'll give her that I liked it.
Now I think it is completelyinappropriate in real life, but
appropriate for the housewivesthat Angela has invited drew on
the first trip.
We all know ain't nothing goodcoming from that, not a damn
(20:33):
thing good.
So then we get to kelly's houseand cynthia is back.
I love cynthia.
I don't care who says she'sboring, I love cynthia.
She's gorgeous and wonderful,and I think that production is
doing way too much making itseem like cynthia's got this
laundry list when she's talkingabout what she's looking for in
her next partner.
I think that everything thatshe said was rather reasonable.
(20:55):
Leave Cynthia alone.
I know she's in a newrelationship.
I hope her ass is happy becauseshe deserves it.
My love little Cynthia.
Then Portia and Shamia arriveand we find out that Portia has
added four more girls onto thetrip, which it's her prerogative
.
It's her slash productions trip.
So we learned later that thatbrings the sauce.
(21:20):
Okay, and I'm here for it.
Hello, maniera, we've missedyou.
I'd love to see her as morerecurring friend of I like her,
I like her.
(21:40):
So, okay, not a Drew fan.
But now we're at Drew and Brithaving dinner, because Brit
feels like they got off on thewrong foot.
I feel like they didn't.
I feel like that this was puttogether because Drew is team
Kenya and we'll stay that way,and they want them to have
common ground, so they made themgo out for these little drinks
and they want them to havecommon ground, so they made them
go out for these little drinks,whatever they get their little
(22:00):
lemon drops.
I remember high school Um,andrew was really on to chip,
but I like it because she asksold girl if she's ever sold the
cat the cat for money.
Now, this sounds like somethingGiselle Bryant of Real
Housewives of Potomac would say,and I enjoyed it because I love
my girl, giselle.
Um, but yeah, she says she'snot.
And then Drew asked her if she'sever been in porn.
(22:21):
And I don't know what was inher throat that she was choking
on so hard, Brit, that shecouldn't say whether she was or
was not in porn.
Hmm.
So um me to wonder leaves me towonder.
A little Google search wouldfigure that out.
And no shade, no shame.
(22:42):
Do you Do what you want to do?
It's your body, your choice.
Sweetie, you want to be a camgirl with your bestie for a week
, allegedly, and just sittopless answering questions or
whatever you were doing.
That's fine.
What pisses me off is that youmade it seem like you were a
teenager when that happened, andnow you come out and say that
you were in your 20s.
(23:02):
So to me, brit be lying too.
Drew be lying, brit be lying.
I don't trust either of them.
If I had to pick one, though, Iwould pick Drew over Britt,
because I'm used to Drew'sannoying ass.
So this is really sad this part,the Ralph and Drew of it all,
(23:26):
because this divorce seemsreally contentious and annoying,
and I truly despise Ralph and Ihope that he looks back at this
one day and realizes what apoop-butt he is.
But as soon as I saw Ralph'shome video, I threw up a little
bit of my mouth because what thefuck?
Why do you have a home video?
Why are you submitting a homevideo?
(23:47):
But then I saw that Drew had ahome video and I thought this is
a legal thing.
Could production not recordthem on their own property
driving to the court?
I think they could.
Maybe they were busy that dayand so they both had to submit
their own recordings.
But I don't know.
I don't know what pisses me off,and I said it earlier this man,
(24:13):
ralph I use man loosely actslike he is paying all the bills.
He's paying the mortgage, he'spaying this, he's paying that.
My guy, then why are you livingin your basement?
Let your wife and the mother ofyour children live in the house
that they are used to and yougo get you an apartment, go get
(24:35):
a condo, go get a whole assother house.
You got it like that, daddyright, so move on.
Makes me think you're a liar.
Makes me think that you're anarcissist.
Makes me think you're crazy.
Order a line Not even you havetold the line.
You're a narcissist.
Makes me think you're crazy.
Borderline Not even you havetold the line.
(24:58):
You're over the line.
You're out of control.
Think about your kids, bruh.
Think about your kids.
That's all I have to say aboutthat.
That's insane.
When I left little interjectionhere, when I left my husband.
He was trying to stay in ourhome instead of letting me and
our child stay in the home.
So this touches a sore spot forme.
(25:20):
I don't understand it.
It makes no sense.
I don't know what you'rethinking.
I'm not supposed to.
I guess You're trash, so then.
So then, for you to get out ofyour hearing because they let
you stay in the basement, I knowwhat judge, what cracker box
(25:40):
judge.
This is make that man leavethat house.
You out on the lawn dancinglike you don't have any sense,
doing what looked like aninterview with who knows who.
You should be ashamed ofyourself.
You should truly be ashamed ofyourself doing what looked like
an interview with who knows who.
You should be ashamed ofyourself.
You should truly be ashamed ofyourself.
Now, as far as the sealing andunsealing of the case, I feel
(26:04):
like there's some dirt on bothof them and that's why Drew is
so upset.
She's mad upset, not just upsetbecause the kids are going to
say stuff about their dad.
It seems like it's hitting homea little more than that.
I get it.
I totally get that.
That would bother me too.
I don't want my kids my kidslove their dad.
I don't want them to see badstuff about their dad.
I get that, but I think thatthere's some secrets about Drew
(26:28):
too, and I guess we know them,we're going to know them, I don.
We know them, we're going toknow them.
I don't know, I don't know.
Ralph is a fool.
Ralph is a damn fool andsomebody needs to slap him.
We're his parents, we're hisparents, we're his friends.
Somebody help that man.
Jesus, jesus, please take thatman's wheel, amen.
(26:52):
So now we're in Nashville, we'reheading to Nashville, we're on
the plane.
Angela missed her flight.
Everybody else got there ontime.
I hate to sound like a hater Ireally do, but I really wish
they would put a better unit onAngela's head.
She's a beautiful woman and shedeserves beautiful hair as well
(27:20):
.
Sis, sis.
Anyway, cynthia I can't withher talking about nothing stays
on a girl's trip.
You're damn right, it's RealHousewives.
We go on the girl's trips fordirt, dirt, don't we?
Especially that drew is comingand portia doesn't want her
there and portia's going to be alittle hennyed out.
(27:41):
We know this.
So expect chaos, okay, and I amhere for it, as long as it
doesn't go too far, right.
So we get into the house, therooms there's like three rooms
that are decent, that are nicerooms, not decent.
(28:03):
Decent was, uh, the wrong word.
But then we've got a roomthat's got like eight beds in it
for snow white and the sevendwarfs, um, and a bunk bedroom.
Didn't we just see this onpotom?
Seven Dwarfs and a bunk bedroom?
Didn't we just see this onPotomac?
What are we doing?
A bunk bedroom for?
I don't know who makes thephone call to Airbnb or whatever
rental service that they'reusing for these homes.
(28:24):
If it's production, you shadyas hell.
If it's Portia's assistant,you're either shady or not
paying attention.
But I wouldn't want to stay inone of those rooms either.
So I don't blame anybody.
I thought it was really funny ofKelly talking about Kevin.
I shrunk the goddamn kids inthe attic.
Girl, you're mixing up threemovies.
That's three different movies,honey.
(28:45):
But I love it.
I like Kelly, I like Will Kelly.
She seems like a good time.
I would want to hang out withher.
Um, yeah, then we're sitting atdinner, lunch, lunch, ish,
early, whatever.
And here we got brit againtalking shit, being the victim,
(29:07):
making it like angela didsomething to her.
Angela didn't do nothing to you, boo, stop it, stop it.
I don't like that, then wantsto be all fake in Angela's face
giving her a hug.
Now, I know we've got to do theair kiss, but, girl, if you
feel so strongly about it, giveher a little.
We've seen it happen before.
(29:31):
You could do that, go ahead.
But you're fake, groupie, lying, I'm not here.
Her, I don't think that that'sgoing to change.
We're going out on the town.
We meet Portia's four friends,who we definitely need because,
like I said, they're bringingthe sauce.
(29:51):
We'll get to that.
We have a flash of Drew at theclub with her sister.
What's going on here?
You're celebrating, right, butyou're in a private room with
just you and your sister and gooff.
That's still a celebration.
Yes, I love to hang out with mysister.
She's one of my best friends.
However, you're making it outto be this whole big thing when
(30:15):
it's not Also something I didn'tmention in my short recap
earlier.
Drew, drew, drew, drew, Drew,drew.
Why is Dennis in every one ofyour scenes?
Why is Dennis always on yourphone?
Why is Dennis in every one ofyour scenes?
(30:36):
Why is Dennis always on yourphone?
Why is this happening?
You have enough going on.
Ralph is enough.
You didn't need this extrastoryline, honey, and I don't
think it's going to play intoyour favor, but we will see,
honey, wait until the reunion,wait until the reunion.
I can't wait until the reunion,anyway, so we go.
I almost said horseback riding.
(30:56):
Yes, we're up bull riding.
Shamia and kelly have thehighest number for the bull
riding.
Go sisters, both of them let mego to eat, and one of them, ang
.
Angela's talking about how shedidn't really understand that
(31:18):
Portia didn't want Drew to come,because Portia never came out
and said it directly.
She said it indirectly 20 times.
She didn't have her on the call, on the FaceTime call, zoom,
whatever they used.
She made mention of it.
You know the situation.
Come on, you needed a direct no, you're messy, you're getting
(31:40):
messy.
Angela, I didn't expect thisfrom you.
It's a little messy and nobodyagrees with you at this dinner
table.
And then, thank goodness forProvi, portia's little friend,
who pretended like she didn'tknow what was happening.
Portia's four friends arepeople that Portia probably
actually hangs out with outsideof the show, who, like, actually
know what's happening in herlife.
Grovy, you knew, but go ahead,you gotta carry the storyline.
(32:02):
Make Portia say it again sothat we all remember why she has
a problem with Drew and Lauren.
Bless her, bless her littleheart, for saying that allegedly
certain things happened withMiss Drew and that's why Portia
has a problem with it.
But then old Chanel leave withChanel girl this is her audition
(32:26):
for season 17,.
Talking about Drew done suckedsome dick uh, drew done sucked
some dick.
Hmm, allegedly I'll sayallegedly because I don't want
any problems but Chanel says sheknows.
And then Portia is telling usthat that is how Dennis keeps
his count balanced, not lowbalanced.
(32:49):
I thought that was hilarious.
Thank you, portia.
Spitting out gems here andthere, I love that.
I think that Portia, shamia andAngela are probably the
funniest women on this castright now.
They hit you.
They hit you here and there inthe confessionals.
I love it.
I'm here for it.
So I'm going to be testing somethings out here at the drama
(33:12):
desk and part of that will bedoing a little baby news segment
, just talking about some Bravonews.
What's up in the Bravo sphere?
What's happening?
Mia Mia's leaving.
Speaking of people who be lyingMia be lying, drew be lying and
now Brit be lying.
Anyway, let's now talk aboutDrew and Britt.
(33:36):
Mia Mia's moved to Atlanta andshe will no longer be part of
the Potomac cast Now.
Did I think that that was goingto happen when she stormed off
um of the Potomac reunion?
No, I thought that she wouldjust come back and they would
address it.
But now that she's moving toAtlanta, what does this mean?
What does this mean?
(33:56):
Is she going to Now?
Let me tell you something.
Now I could see Britt beingremoved and them adding Mia.
I think that that would bespicy, seeing Mia interact with
Phaedra and Portia and the restof them.
I think that could be good andat least we know who Mia is in a
(34:20):
sense.
Just don't bring Jacqueline.
I hope that Jacqueline stayedin Potomac and that Mia will be
alone in Atlanta and maybe shecan get a little spot on the
housewives.
Maybe, maybe not, I don't know.
Know.
Let me know what you thinkabout that.
So after dick's out gate, we'llcall it that.
(34:42):
It wasn't that big of a deal.
We'll see, because it seemslike the previews for next
episode it's gonna pop off andI'm ready.
I'm ready for that, superexcited for episode eight.
We're still in Nashville andunfortunately it seems like
Angela has done some recordingof her own.
(35:02):
She said production, production.
Who Wasn't Britney on Salt Lake?
Enough for everyone to know.
Let's just not record unlesswe're doing a fun recording
where everyone knows we'rerecording, and it's after hours
recording at the houses thatwe've rented on vacation.
Those are fine.
It's when you are looking outof a window at people that
(35:24):
that's not cool.
I hope that my view of Angeladoesn't change.
She's tiptoeing toward thefence.
I'm not sure change.
She's tiptoeing toward thefence, I'm not sure.
But we shall see, and hopefullyI'll be back to this desk next
week and you will too.
Ciao.
