Welcome back one final time everyone! This is it. The moment we’ve all wasted countless hours for – the bing bang. The Real Housewives of DC Finale! My big bang theory is that the lights go out, we hear fists being thrown, gun shots, screams, complete terror – then silence – the lights come up – and there, sitting in the center of all the bloodshed is…
Mother Fuckin’ Ichiban… in the Historical Society… with the candlestick!
We join everyone while Lynda is conceding to let The Salami come out on his own as long as Ebong is waiting in the wings – ready to leap to her defense and pound The Salami!
Right after he finishes that sandwich. Damn it Ebong!
The Salami steps forward from the shadows and takes a seat on the counch…
While, I swear to God, Lynda tries to use her Jedi mindtricks (her 6th religion if anyone’s counting) to tear him apart. Look at those eyes!
The Salami says it’s a disgrace that the ladies are saying Mic doesn’t really have MS and that Lynda’s OBSESSED with Mic!
He’s totally just trying to plug her new album.
The Salami says that Mic told him about the MS when they got married and that he wished he could’ve absorbed the MS into his body. Yikes. That’s like the world’s worst super-power to wish for. Although I think that’s the power most prostitutes seem to have. That’s why they’re my heros.
We then get treated to a montage of the Salamis over the course of the show: Paul’s party, Oasis, livin’ large – all the BS before the White House basically. Ms. Andy starts off with asking them about how they skirted the bill for Paul’s party. Mic said she was one of 4 “hosts” and that they SWEAR they donated Oasis wine. Ms. Andy fires back that the event venue says they never got any wine. The Salamis insist they sent it and Ms. Andy, along with the rest of the ladies, look like they just wanna throw their hands up in the air and leave. Funny thing about compulsive liars – there’s no use arguing with them because they’re ALWAYS gonna lie and make shit up and they’ll NEVER admit to it. Shame on us for looking for rationality and honesty out of these two.
Then Ms. Andy asks them about their line of credit and why they never proved their “millions” to Stacie during the house search. The Salami says that Stacie never emailed them to ask them about a line of credit.
This is the look one might get right before they black out and don’t remember a thing.
Stacie points out that she verbally asked them for a line of credit (as we all saw) and The Salamis counter with “well the truth is that we already had another real estate agent working for us”. From what little of the real estate process I do know about – I know that would be a DICK move even if it were true. But I’m happy to see The Salami trying to be the lesser-of-two-dicks.
Stacie flat out says they couldn’t afford it and then asks if they actually OWN a house of their own. The Salamis stutter on about Oasis and a “farm house” that no one knows about. $10 says someone living outside of DC that owns a farm house just saw this and said to their husband “Honey… aren’t those the two people you caught living in our barn last week?”
Then the house that they first filmed in gets brought up – the big giant mansion where we first met “Sparkle” (personally I liked “Sparkles” better but so be it – the poor thing’s probably already been sold to a glue factory for cash). Mic says “Oh it’s still there” like Ms. Andy asked if it fell into a black hole instead of “DO YOU OWN IT ANYMORE?” Everyone else chimes in that the house was borrowed and Mic just replies “Oh well whatever you want to believe!” Has anyone noticed that’s her “go-to” phrase when she gets caught? SUCH BULLSHIT!
The next “go-to”? Throw random shit out there for deflection. Mic blurts out, “Oh yeah – well CAT’S been living in Lynda’s basement!” To which Lynda flatly responds, “I DON’T HAVE A BASEMENT.” Awesome!!! She then throws in “It sounds like you have evil in your heart! BWAH! I love that whole couch right now. They’re totally the lovable Witches of Eastwick.
Ms. Andy then adds fuel to the fire by noting how much the Salamis owe to other companies as well as the fact that Oasis is bankrupt. Lynda makes an excellent point that they shouldn’t be buying expensive jewelry when they can’t even pay small vendors back. The Salami, greasy as ever, says that they can’t pay those vendors because they filed for bankruptcy. So it’s basically against the law for them to be decent human beings. I never thought anyone could come to that conclusion – but there you have it. According to The Salami, the law of the land is making him a douchebag.
Ms. Andy decides to settle things thus far by saying the Salamis have to see the dichotomy between the life they lead and the life they portray. They never will Ms. Andy! They both just blankly look at him like “Did he just offer his “dick to me“?”
The Salamis just come back with more BS about the struggle of the wine industry and that he’s glad Bravo got it all on tape. Meanwhile the other three ladies cackle away. Lynda actually snorts at one point. Love it. Sheeeeee’s BAAAAAACON! Anyways, Ms. Andy throws the towel in on this point and throws to commercial. He might very well quit his job tonight.
We’re back from commercial and now all the boys have come out to play: Rich, Ebong and Jason! Just in time for the montage of when the Salamis accused Lollie of grand theft auto, etc! “EEEEEVERYBODY’S GOING TO JAIL!” Ms. Andy brings out a printout of Lollie’s Facebook comment that started off all the accusations and shows how it didn’t really say anything. From my point of view, she could have known about what happened but it certainly doesn’t prove that she had anything to do with it. Rich then confronts The Salami and asks for an apology and The Salami just crap-speaks about “Mr. Merlot” and “Mr. Cabernet” having an effect on him. Unless those are two actual guys that threatened to murder him unless he made an ass out of himself – NO DICE.
They all try to guilt an apology out of The Salami but it never happens because those two will NEVER show remorse or take responsibility for their actions. At this point I can see them blowing Ms. Andy’s brains out and then saying, “It’s not our fault guns are so easy to shoot.”
Now on to another argument-that-will-never-be-settled! The Black Caucus Dinner! Let me guess – now keep in mind I’ve never watched this – Ms. Andy is going to ask if they were ever invited or why they brought extra people when they shouldn’t have. The Salamis are then going to weave a web of lies saying that it was a misunderstanding, they all got in, had a great time and were never asked to leave. Survey says?!
I’m partially right! Why only partially?! Because The Salami gives a WORSE response than I had imagined! He flat out calls Jason a LIAR!!! Oh wait – not just Jason – he calls THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE BLACK CAUCUS A LIAR TOO! Apparently the government has taken time off from fighting terrorists and dealing with a tanking economy in order to… hurt the social status of the Salamis. Makes sense.
I can’t even describe the amount of excuses and lies they come out with. Let’s just go with more than one and less than the amount of times recapping this shit has made me want to cut myself.
Cat puts it best…
“You never have any real answers and you never tell the f**king truth.” This sums up the entire season of this show.
Oh but wait! Lynda tops it off with a perfect analogy – our favorite!
Poor Ebong. He’s the calm in the center of a shit storm.
The Salami finishes the argument by saying that Jason’s definitely a liar, so is everyone else and he’s Captain Awesome. And by “finishes the argument” I mean everyone else just gives up because it’s becoming clearer that they’ll never ever give in.
But there’s just one more round to cover at this Goat Rodeo folks – one more goat to mount – THE STATE DINNER AT THE WHITE HOUSE SCANDAL! First we get to watch a whole “Salamis on the Path to the White House” montage. My favorite part is when the White House girl asked them to stand off to the side and wait to get checked out before going. That girl turned her back and the Salamis left a little *POOF!* cloud where they once were.
Ms. Andy starts out by asking the Salamis if they ever had a physical invitation and they immediately start bullshitting, saying it was a verbal invite, then an email invite and that it was a misunderstanding on the White House side. I LOVE that Mary just laughs and yells out “SPIN DOCTORS!!!” She’s truly enjoying this roast – as she should.
Ms. Andy then reviews the facts and points out that although a White House contact was TRYING to get the Salamis into the receiving line, they never had a concrete invitation. But like a rat, they only needed the smallest of holes to squeeze through. So once they did get in, why did they not stay for dinner?
Soup. It was because of soup. Clearly this whole thing is the chef’s fault now. At this point Ms. Andy must be thinking about making her head explode.
And yet it’s Cat who throws her arms up in the air and storms off. She says they’re not getting any answers and BTW she also came out with a great acronym for the Salamis: “NFI” = “NOT FUCKING INVITED”. Thanks to editing she comes right back though. It looked like she just “cool lapped” around the cameras. Maybe she had a quick shot of True Blood and she’s ready to rumble once again.
Mic then says she left because she wasn’t feeling well – to which Cat fires back “But you felt fine enough to post photos at 1:30am!” LOVE HER! She should knock Ms. Andy outta the chair, rip up his question cards and do the interview herself. Although it would probably consist of her force feeding Mic the question cards – literally.
Ms. Andy then states that after that night, Michelle Jones (their White House liaison who is most likely bagging groceries now) confirmed that they were never invited to anything. But the Salamis insist that they were. Mic says that if they weren’t invited they should’ve been turned away and “not put through this”. This is literally like someone showing up to your house, sneaking in, complaining about the food, leaving and then the next day calling to complain that you didn’t ask them to leave. I feel like this episode should’ve aired on Columbus Day.
Ms. Andy then confirms that the Salamis have neither been charged or cleared in the on-going investigation. WHO THE FUCK is in charge of this investigation?!!
Well that makes sense.
Cat then talks about how she was uninvited to the White House Christmas Party because of the Salamis and Mic says it was probably because Cat talked shit about Obama. Which is OBVIOUSLY not true since that episode didn’t air until 6 months after party. Then she says it was probably Cat’s husband who uninvited her. OMG. Mic must seriously have a sharp shooter ready to take out Cat when she lunges for Mic’s throat. I honestly think she’s just trying to get someone to throw a punch at this point. They probably already have the lawsuit written out and ready to go.
The Salamis go on to say that Congress was mostly upset that this was done for publicity, NOT because they actually crashed the party. Ms. Andy is getting to the end of his rope and calls BS while Cat’s yelling in the background that this interview’s like “Chinese torture!!!” I totally agree. I think everyone would get more out of banging their head against a wall. And by “their” I mean the Salami’s.
Ms. Andy calls Stacie out for using the word “Salahism” on her blog to mean “self-centeredness and narcissism”. The look on the Salamis’ faces is awesome.
You know they’re thinking… “Bitch you now owe us $58.98 for the wine you drank at Oasis AND reimbursement for our London tickets. Luckily for you we paid coach but snuck into first class.”
Stacie then tells it like it is with the Salamis and calls them “delusional” while Mic shows us all exactly how she gets through all of this…
BLINDERS! She just yells and throws up blinders. You know who’s influence I blame for this?
Mother Fuckin’ Sparkle (RIP, 2007-2010 Acme Glue Factory)
Ms. Andy saves the best for last and brings up an incident never discussed before. We’ll call it “Scotch-Gate”. Apparently while on the publicity tour in LA, they were all at a dinner where the Salami threw a glass of wine at Lynda, Lynda says she threw water back at him because she’d never waste a glass of scotch. AND THAT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…
Is why Lynda will always hold my scotch-filled heart in her clutches.
She says it was at that point that she realized the Salamis are both “habitual violators—” and then Bravo TOTALLY CUTS OFF what she was going to say next!!! UGH! WHY?! I feel like they should put the whole rant online. Unless it was because Lynda became so enraged the only thing that was on the film was a bright white light and a pitch only dogs can hear. We’d have to get Ichiban to translate.
The Salami then pretty much says it’s because Lynda is mean to Mic and Mic has MS. It’s completely obvious that he’s lying. Best part is that it comes out that he shoved Mic in the process of throwing the wine. I guess Lynda should be grateful that they weren’t at Oasis when this shit went down. The Salamis have probably filled those wine bottles with cow piss for the last 5 years.
Things get really heated here. Ebong tells The Salami he would’ve leveled him if he was there (there’s still time!) and the Salami says he was only protecting Mic (wine is apparently his weapon of choice).
Mic then offers for everyone to pull on each arm until she splits in two to reveal the demon living inside her.
I kid, I kid. Wishful thinking. Instead she stops everyone from yelling so that The Salami can APOLOGIZE!!! HOLY SHIT!!! RED LETTER DAY!!! And then HE DOES!!! Wow!!! They’re totally turning a new leaf!
Well so much for that new leaf.
Lynda goes apeshit and tells Mic she’s lucky to breath the same air as her (no really – lol – she said that) and that The Salami has Mic shackled in his basement. She totally missed OUT!!! Lynda should’ve added, “Although HE doesn’t have a basement either – or a first floor – or a second floor – or a FUCKING HOUSE!!!!”
We reach the final segment and Ms. Andy asks the girls if they’d do this all over again. Lynda said it’s blown but she’s glad she did it for her charities (which she advertised well) and Mary said the show was hijacked, her kids got involved but she’s glad she did it for her charity (which she then mentions for the first time (I think) all season – ouch). Cat says it was mildly worth it and is excited to tell her side in her book. Ms. Andy asks her about kissing Prince Harry and her response is “Read the book”. WHAT THE WHAT?! She made out with Price Harry?! And then Ms. Andy says he loves a “Gingy” too! (AKA Ginger, AKA Red Head, AKA I just wet myself in fear).
Mic said that she’s glad she did it, regardless of what happened and that she really connected with the crew. I SOOOO wanted them to pan around to the crew while they were all standing there shaking their heads saying, “Bitch is CRAZY.”
Mic adds that she’s excited that “Salahi” is now an official verb for “to crash”. I don’t know if I ever officially have said this or not – but for the record – SHE’S A FUCKING MORON.
Stacie then adds that it’s been “fun” even getting to know Mic. Yeah… fun like a fucking hammer to the head.
And that… my friends… IS THE END!!! DONE!!! We made it! Thanks for sticking around and reading my recaps. It’s been a comic, tragic and dramatic season both on the show and funnily enough, on the recaps. And I’ve enjoyed every minute of this goat rodeo thanks to you all! Keep an eye out for my future recaps (I’m actually filling in for Flipit on RHOBH this week!) and take care! And one last time… let me hear y’all DISH IT!!!

i really hope this show doesn’t come back for a second season. it was seriously the weakest in the whole franchise.
What are you all talking about … Mic was the only enjoyable, watchable part of the show. Lynda and the rest are total squares.
Bbitz, that was an excellent recap! I lol’d at that pic of fucking ichiban and the candlestick. The best thing on this show? Fucking Ichicban!!
OMG! MF Ichiban in the Historical Society with the candlestick!
ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!
Bloody Brilliant!
Thanks for your wonderful recaps of this trainwreck of a show.
You’re a brave, brave man.
BBitiz, poifect recap – What a pair of assholes the Stilloweme’s are! They should be locked in a room with all their creditors and some baseball bats – that way, we can find out if you can get blood out of a turnip.
BBitz, you make me laugh out loud while watching this shitfest made me grind my teeth. Muthafuckin’ Ichiban!
Awesome recap bBitz! Word of warning-do not eat grapes while reading the recap, they make too much of a mess when you spit them out. I need to stick to the already fermented, liquid variety!
I did read on Mary’s Bravo blogs that a lot of her charity-related scenes were cut out. She encouraged everyone to check out the deleted scenes on the website, but, yeah, I never got around to that.
I don’t really see how this franchise could come back. The show centered around the Salahi’s sociapathic lifestyle, would Bravo really try to get them back? You know they’d do it for the money and the “fame.” If it focused on Lynda, Mary, Cat, Jason Bache (sp?), & Paul, sitting around drinking (& whatever else Lynda would like to do…), that would be fun. Oh, and of course Ichiban!!
The Washington Post’s Reliable Source does a great “Fact Check” of all the Salami’s BS. I used to live in that area, and back in college, my ‘rents and I did a wine tour of the Oasis Vineyards. This of course, was before the Salamis tried to get their nasty mitts on his FATHER’S vineyard. Dying father, btw. Class out the…
“I honestly think she’s just trying to get someone to throw a punch at this point. They probably already have the lawsuit written out and ready to go.” Bbitz, this was so right on. Now that I look back on the reunion, the whole reunion, Mic just jumped out with these nasty comments, designed to invoke a response from the other ladies. I bet they were bankiing on one of them getting in their faces or attacking Mic on camera, like a theresa move. And they probably already had talked about setting this up, to have grounds to sue them, or Bravo for putting them in harms way. I mean they continually interview that someone is always attacking them- Lynda, Whoopi Goldberg, this person Tareq was fighting with before Lynda,( love to know what other woman he was verbally abusing) and convince themselves they are victims. I bet They sat down and thought up zingers, at the Super 8 motel they were at the night before. And I still cling to my assertion that tareq is violent, especially when he drinks. If he is willing to push his wife in public and refuse to acknowledge he even did it, then he was either to drunk to rememeber, or he’s just a complete asshole. But guess what– obviosly Mic has alllowed him to abuse her in public, so she obviously enbales that behavior anywhere else- chained in the basement, at the Four Seasons, or the Super 8.
Dear Bbitz,
What a long strange trip it’s been and thanks to your recaps it’s been hysterically funny too
Thank You for a great DC season. Your recaps for this show was like reading a good novel that you hate to see end.
TC, Robin
Since I feel like I am currently dealing with my own version of the Salami’s, I can’t imagine how frustrating it was sitting there listening to them. As an outsider looking in, we all know they are full of shit and can say ‘just fuck em’. But dealing with it in person is a whole other story. Particularly when they have honed their crazy to such a fine point and have perfected their ability to deflect and see the other side giving up as a win. And while Tareq is a very willing participant, Zombie was 100% correct when very early on she stated Mic is the actual ringleader. If anyone is chained in the basement it is Tareq. She is the engineer and conductor of that crazy train. And I use the word crazy very loosely; the lady knows exactly what she is doing and always has her sights set on the goal line.
And while Ichaban is a cute little thing I’m telling you there is no way in hell that dog doesn’t wipe its ass all over the rug when he comes in.
Chemgal I agree. But what can you do with someone that tells stories everywhere they go, then when they are called on any one of their stories they deflect, deflect, deflect? For example what was that shit about Cat living in Lynda’s basement? She knew it wasn’t true. Just needed to deflect…She is really a loving person, that one. I wish I was a fly on every wall that they homestead at. Who in the world would help them out or give them any kind of help now? You can tell by Mic’s hairdo that the help has left the building.
Hugz, Robin
@chemgal-I bet you are spot on about Itchi! And I am sure that Lynda doesn’t care that he does it either!
Great Recap Bbtiz! I enjoyed the DC season with you!! You are the best!! :]
Great recap, BBitz! And great season, you made this goat rodeo very much worth the headache of having to deal with these people. I do agree with what you said about them throwing out random shit just to deflect. Such silly asinine accusations were tossed about and it does briefly take the spotlight off of them and their ridiculousness. Which was blatant, we saw! Personally, I think this reunion could’ve been just one episode because there were no new revelations. We realized all season and during the first ep of the reunion that we weren’t going to get any straight answers from the Salamis. It was frustrating watching another hour of the spin doctors at work, I mean, “lentil soup?” and how did she know what was served..did she stand in the dining room, leaning against the wall watching people while they ate? Awkward. And creepy.
Although, one of Mic accusations did make me think. Chaaales was on the show, as well. So why was Cat disinvited but not him? And did the White House tell her personally or was he the ‘messenger’? For a man who tok off without even a goodbye, i wouldn’t put it past him to want to stop associating with her in public. Heck, maybe he even took someone else. He doesn’t seem to have the highest integrity regarding his treatment of Cat.
@AllisonZ

Good to see you back!
Hugz, Robin
This thing’s been up for almost half a day and we haven’t even gotten past Phase 2 (posting obvious sentiments about the scripted villains) yet? If somebody doesn’t post a thinly veiled attack on another poster, or start oversharing so that someone else can say something tactless about the incident of TMI (Phase 3: provocation and escalation), how are we ever going to reach Phase 4 (cut-and-paste flame war)?
The reunion kind of said it all – at the end of the day Cat’s still hilarious, Lynda’s still a bitch, Mary is human bag of wine who does a great impression Tareqoholic, Stacy can be sketchy about white people; and like any other Narcissistic, attention-whoring freaks, the Salami’s eventually overplayed their hand and came out looking like folie á deux social trolls.
@notwithoutmytv – I nominate you to carryon the banner of the @sarcasatire – @P Cheez feud, either side I don’t care. Even I got bored with it.
Hey my captcha code is BMZ3 – like my old summer car!! Good omen!!
*yawn* So have I. @NWMTV, if anyone is still trying to stir up trouble on the boards or get in digs (phase 3, lol) then they are very sad indeed. Bless their hearts..
I’d rather see a fight between Jiggy and Playa..with Ichiban as referee.
@NWMTV, “how are we ever going to reach Phase 4 (cut-and-paste flame war)?” BWHAHAHAHAAAA!!! I just spit spaghetti on my winter white pants. DAMN YOU!!!
I really hope they don’t invite Tareq and Mic back for a second season. Like Mary said they hijacked the season because all I ever wanted to see was the night of the State Dinner. They should have done like Bad Girls Club tends to do to reel you in. They show the climax at the beginning of the show and then the show goes back how they got to the climax. (Hehehehe…I wish I could get the climax at the beginning. I am here all night people)
“They show the climax at the beginning of the show and then the show goes back how they got to the climax. (Hehehehe…I wish I could get the climax at the beginning. I am here all night people)”
LOL @Classy!! You and me both, although I would probably not notice when the ceiling fans needed to be cleaned nearly as often if that were the case
While I do not like any of the women on DC (maybe Cat a little bit) and could care less what happens to any of them, I was disturbed at how the entire reunion show was focused on beating up the Salahi’s. I think after 5 minutes I had enough of the badgering, especially since the Salahi’s were never going to give the answers everyone wanted. It seems like everyone of the Housewives reunion shows has one person they beat up on – and it is normally all the women against one. Maybe it is just be, but the concept of having a group of women continually bashing one person (even if it is somewhat deserved) is disturbing. It was just painful to watch and I had to turn it off (but had to listen to it when the hubby turned it back on).
Note to Mary – if it weren’t for the Salahis and their White House hijinks, this franchise would have been dull as dirt. No one – and I repeat, no one – gives a damn about your closet, your douchey husband, and your chubby daughter. Cat was fun though.
I want Miss Andy to hire Cat to do all the reunion shows from now on.
Me too @chem!!!!
Notwithoutmytv: Declasse!!!!!
Chemgal: Ichiban doesn’t wipe his ass on the rug “when he comes in”, he wipes it on the rug/floor when he walks, period.
And I totally agree with the idea that they wanted someone to just loose their shit on them. If you look at the things Mic said between all her “love” bullshit, she was vicious. And it was always some lowball, in the gut sucker punch. Cat may be brash (Braaash) but at least she hits you square in the face, not: “I hear you’re living in Linda’s basement.”
Tvaholic: Linda should have her own cooking show. “Cooking: With LInda & Ichban & Bacon”
I so want Cat and Lisa Van der Pump to do lunch. Make it happen, Andy.
@skatt – do you notice how the nastiest bitches constantly talk about “love”, yet they are the worst psychos on the planet?
Teresa was the same way, and so was Jill Z. It’s like whenever someone starts a conversation with me about being “fair”, I know I’m about to get royally fucked – whenever these wretched hags start throwing “love” around you know the snipers are lined up and ready to fire verbal kevlar-piercing bullets.
I though Missy Salami showed her true colors in this reunion, and Tareq is clearly an incompetent and inept nincompoop. Did you see how fast he trotted out that apology when Missy COMMANDED him to apologize to Lynda? LOL, then demanded one in return – HA! Lynda – 2, Missy – 0!
What I find the most amazing is that people are surprised by the salami’s or maybe I just mean unaware that they are dealing with these type of people 24/7. the only difference is that they pulled their shit on camera and on a world wide stage. there are people like this that operate below most people’s radar because most people never want to acknowledge that there are some people that at their core are unethical, immoral, sons of bitches. They are just as skilled at deflecting and blaming and manipulating. When they get found out, they deny, deny, deny and point the finger in another direction. Or the old divide and conquer gets put into play. That is what I found most disturbing about the reunion; I recognize this behavior in people I have contact with and while I’m not the only one aware of it, I’m always shocked by the Stacey’s of the world that due to their belief that it is manners or whatever, in the end feel the need to still placate and allow it. Yes stacey called them out on some stuff but then ends it with “it was nice to meet you” and “we saw a different side”.
Right on @chem! So, so true! And that bugged me when Stacie did that too…
Stacie won me back a bit this time around. Although I don’t know if it is so much Stacie but her husband. He seems like a cool guy. He was really involved in the show without being annoying like a lot of the other husbands.
The Mic/Tarq thing was just ridiculous. They believe their own lives and will never cop to anything. As Sacrasatire said this could have been wrapped in one episode.
bBitz you rule! Seriously awesome job! I hope to see you on a lot more recaps.
*I meant lies not lives.
BBitz, I shall miss your clever recaps. And Mother Fuckin’ Ichiban cameos! Did anyone else think that when the audition tape with the Salahis’ “estate” was shown, it looked exactly like one of those miniature architectural models (a la Mike Brady)? I kept picturing Mic decorating the winery office to look like a room in the make-believe mansion and sending in fake aerial views of the mini.
Wow, this reunion was way better than I thought it would be.
I love Cat. It’s so refreshing to see someone on one of these shows totally hold nothing back and tell it like it is. Her replies and reactions to Mic were fabulous.
I like Lynda as well. She’s sassy and seems to be a pretty fun chick. I dig her.
Stacie seems so wishy washy to me. I feel like she never directly answered any questions. Does she think Cat is racist? Does she like the Salamis? Idk, she seems to deflect as much as Mic does, just in a different way.
Mary is hella chill, part of me wonders what she is doing on this show.
Mic might be the biggest master mind of all the Real Housewives’ loonies. In past reunions, some have cried, deflected, and spun the whole conversation into a totally different topic. She did all three, I declare her the puppetmaster.
I kinda wish someone else would do these reunions though (like Kathy Griffin, or maybe even Cat). Andy just seems to nice to be able to be a terrific host. He takes the questions about 75% of the way, but then he doesn’t drive it home in the last 25% when the girl in question begins to crack. I think he should just stick to his “Watch what happens live”, and leave the reunions up to someone more ballsy tbh.
