RHOM Recap: Season Two Finale!


Good googly MOOGLY, this was one helluva sappy season finale.  Everyone was all emotionally well-balanced and making good decisions and not drunk or crazy or anything!  I literally feel asleep upon first viewing.  Also, I’m at my mom’s house, and since I forgot to tell her to DVR the ep, I’m recapping off of notes from last night’s viewing.  They’re extensive notes, mind you, but if I missed one of your favorite moments, feel free to comment and do a little recapping of your own;-) 

The ladies are still stuck in Bimini because once Karen’t got back to Miami, she tossed a few eyes of newt and some Rembrandt White Lightning into a cauldron and sent a storm south.  Because she’s feeling simpatico, Lea chats with a friend of hers who’s in jail.  This leads to a conversation about the fact that she knows more criminals than Roy.  Ha!  I believe it.  I think she gets’em when they’re young, like Joe Francis, and continues being friends with them after their inevitable downfalls.  Loyalty.  It’s what’s for dinner. 

None of the ladies cannot leave, so they hang out, Marysol drinks some more, then suggests they all head down to the ocean to waste some perfectly good flowers.  It’s the waterpraytime they got into last week.  Marysol blathers on and on about how throwing the flowers is throwing way bad energy and getting in touch with wishes for the future, and this is where I fell asleep. 

  I’m gonna get someone deported for this.

Adriana’s hope for the future?  She wants to want Frederic.  She wants to want him really, really bad.  Lisa wants babies really bad, but she also dedicates her flowers to Karen’t’s safe air travel to Miami.  I’m not kidding about that.  She talks a good long while about Karen’t’s travel plans and not a lick about the faulty pacemaker that’s jolting Papa Sierra’s heart all over the damn place.  As for Marysol, she wants happiness for herself AND her ex, and I swear I can hear Lea’s thoughts, “He’s haaaaaappy!  He’s got his Greeeeeen Caaaaard!”   Alexia wants her son to be better, Joanna wants to marry Romain and Ana, despite her earlier cynicism, melts into a pile of tears and estrogen when it’s her turn.  She cries about her daughters and Robert, and wishes that Robert find happiness.  Dude, he’s dating a 25-year-old and you’re still doing his laundry.  He’s happy.  Trust.  Time to focus on you.

After the “ceremony,” Karen’t’s spell breaks and the women are able to head back to the mainland.  There’s some really dramatic piano music, and we head to a music school to watch Alex have a piano recital.  It’s a weirdly dramatic intro into Adriana’s segment – I think someone totally different either edited or EPed this ep, because it has a very “Desperate Housewives”/”Scandal”/”Deceived” feel to it.  Adriana, Frederic and Alex head into a small auditorium and Adriana is wearing the most ridiculous outfit one could possibly wear to a piano recital.

    @Alejandra You get major props for doing so good on this! Specially since you’ve had to carry a lot of the load by yourself. Without much help from all those extra cast members that aren’t even Mama Elsa.

    This show’s going to win the Guinness world record for being the 1st time nobody’s said they can’t wait for the reunion in Real Housewives history.

    I don’t think it’s creepy for people to play a duet with their mom. What was creepy was how random it was. You’re right it looked like somebody else was directing. Did Alex win a prize? Lose a bet? Did we even know he played the piano? You’d think Adriana’d build it up more than Gretchen singing with the Pussy Cat Dolls. But unless I dozed off more than I think I did they never explained WTF was going on. It didn’t look like a regular kid’s recital. Which is supposed to be in some old lady’s living room. Not a fancy hired hall with a bright colored evening dress on.

    I thought the Joanna proposal scene with her dress matching the flowers was 100% telenovela fan produced too. Down to the stylists.

    I ended up feeling the sorriest of all for Lisa. When she said she might lose her husband if she couldn’t have a baby. There’s no way that can have a good outcome. For obvious reasons if it’s true. But what if he really loves her? How’s he going to feel hearing that?

    But I’m disappointed in Adriana. What about Fredric? What’d Fredric do to deserve a life sentence with somebody that settled for him?

    LOL I just noticed that I sound like I’ve got more sympathy for the boys in the cast. Which is another 1st ever time in Real Housewives history event.

    Just those 2 though. Like most people I knew Rodolfo was Karent’s Walter. Even before this season of RHOA started and it got to be a generic term. And Karent’s just the Miami version of Kenya. I’m suspicious Miss Andy made a new rule. And now every Real Housewives has to have somebody that won a beauty contest. To ca$h in on the pageant craze.

    I was suspcious of Marysol and Philipe in season 1. It didn’t seem like to me she was that into him. Remember how the main thing she wanted for her wedding was a photo shoot in the snow? So I think it was more of a business situation than a love marriage to begin with.

    That got me to wondering if Lea making that green card crack twice was producer driven. And all the drama about past galas too. To give Marysol a story line. As an excuse to keep Mama Elsa.

    It’d be way easier to just make Mama Elsa the Housewife. So my guess is they tried. But she’s didn’t want to have to shoot that many hrs. And isn’t that desperate for $. I bet she gets close to what she’d get anyway. Since she’s the reason people watch it.

    I have NEVER been left feeling more confused from a housewives finale leading to the reunion show before! WTF? It’s like the commercials for the reunion are from a totally different show than we’ve been watching.

    Holy anticlimactic, Batman!

    About the only interesting thing this episode brought was the producers’ lame attempts at humor in the ending “story board” thing-a-ma-bobs and this recap. Love!

    I Hope they drop Ana i just can’t stand her. Karent is nice to look at in full make up but she’s a non personality with a fake storyline who only wants FAME. get Rid of Her!! Alexia’s storyline should have been about her child as a full housewife since she was at every event anyhow. Did not find Elaine cool in anyway not even for drama purposes, but i don’t blame producers for that loose train, he/she should have been FUN and friendly, I’v seen him perform with Leah and they’re cute! He needed to be the fun gay drag queen sidekick, not the bully. I liked Joanna and her fiance, too bad they couldn’t make it work. But i think If Joanne want’s to continue next season she’ll have to Rent/Purchase a place. She is still good t.v. So my MAIN come backs need to be Joanna, Adriana, Leah, Lisa.

    No mention of how James/Elaine just shows up to the party to perform? This whole season was about drama between Marysol and James and in one fell swoop Bravo sweeps it together as if we are too stupid to remember.

    And what in the hell is going on at the reunion? I thought Adriana and Joanna were okay with each other.

    I loved Ana for being the normal voice of reason with some great one-liners.

    Can ‘t wait for the dueling spring weddings. Who has more clout in Miami and which side will Lea be on?

    Lisa what is wrong with you that you feel the need to construct another monstrosity of a house? The one you live in is hideous, please don’t add more garbage to the skyline.

    I feel awful that Karen’t seemed to believe that story from Rodolfo. Like really so he’s pulled this publicity stunt bit more than once and you believed it?!!?!? I don’t really care for her but I hope that she finds love.

    @Labowner remember on WWHL when Adriana called in and her and Joanna had a screaming match, so they are definitely not friendly.

    While Adriana’s dress was very pretty it was NOT appropriate for a child’s recital…unless that child was practicing it’s pole dancing.

    The season started out with promise but seemed to fall flat in the end.

    The dress Lisa has on at the party is the same dress Marysol has on in her bobble head interviews.

    @Classy Drunk I know right? If you do a duet with a little kid it’s supposed to show them off. Not you. They even had her sitting on the side facing the audience. I still can’t figure out what event it was supposed to be. Usually if any of them are going to be onstage or something they talk about it for wks.

    Could someone please put a muzzle on Adrianna? That bitch has rabies. Even when she has a point about something you can’t make it out because she’s too busy frothing at the mouth and repeating herself over and over. Shut the bitch up and get her a spit shield!
