RHOM Recap: Casa de los PANTIES!


Later on, at a Claudio Milano product placement, Joanna and Karen’t go shopping together.  According to Joanna, Claudio Milano is a hot, hot designer.  According to me, merengue beauty queens shop there.  Anywho, it’s the first time Joanna and Marta have had to talk about why all the other girls hate Karen’t, so get right to it.  They try on dresses for Lea’s gala, and Joanna tells Karen’t that at Lea’s gala meeting, Adriana and Alexia were talking shit.  She interviews she believes that since Adriana and Alexia don’t have jobs, they have too much time on their hands and are jealous of Karen’t, so that’s why they’re bullying her.  Um, Jo?  They both have jobs.  They just hate Karen’t’s fucking guts because she’s really annoying.  Sometimes people just don’t like you, and it has nothing to do with them being insecure or jealous of you.  I know you’re a model and this is hard concept for you to grasp, but being pretty and successful does not preclude you from being a hot mess.

Karen’t brushes all of this off with a trademark wink and a smile, but then Joanna brings up the article in THE PAPER.  (I’m cautiously assuming the Miami Herald wants nothing to do with this show in any real way, which is why it’s not mentioned by name in this episode.)  Karen’t explains her harsh words by saying that she didn’t say them.  She claims her words were twisted, which Joanna is more than ready to believe and the two women finish their shopping expedition more bonded than ever. 

And now it’s time for another day and another shopping trip full of gossip –Goshipping if you will… or Shossiping…  Take your pick and vote in the comments.  I wish I could say more about it, but it’s just Adriana and Ana bitching about Karen’t and the article, Ana’s daughters being foul as usual, and Adriana picking out something pretty wicked and sacrilegious to wear (LOVE).  Ana does drop a diamond of a comment about her “position”  on lingerie – and she does have one.  She’s not comfortable being in it in front of hundreds of people.  Yay Ana!  You’re not a famewhore, yet!

The main point of this segment was to highlight Adriana’s intent to confront Karen’t at the lingerie party should the two meet.  Like anyone thought there was a cold chance in the helliest of hells of that not happening.  Commercial.

The l’il funny bit this week begins with a local news segment featuring Joanna talking shit about Kim Kardashian (all in favor say “aye.” “AYE.”), and then Marta and Joanna making fun of Kim’s ass together.  I don’t care about any of this, but I do hate Kim Kardashian, so… go Jo?  Commercial!

Back to Lisa’s house for more pointing and directing from our fearless leader.  Lenny’s looking appropriately nervous as Lisa interviews a little bit of insight about Marta.  Apparently while Lisa’s “working” Marta is lounging about getting to know Lisa’s friends, sipping champagne, and in general being on an extended vacation.  Aw, Lisa!  This is your first real moocher!  I’m so proud of you!  A moocher’s one of the things on my list of stuff I want when I “make it,” see – infinity pool, boat.

    I figured Joe Francis was saying that either Joanna slept with Mohamed Ali or Mohamed from BH, Lisa Vanderpump’s friend, works for me either way. How come Joanna calls out Adriana and Alexia for “bullying” Karent, but when she talks about KK – that’s not bullying? I hate that the word bully gets tossed around like it’s nothing.
    I loved Marisol this episode!!

    Can anyone tell me where those 800 people were during Lisa’s party?. It looked a lot like parties I used to throw (I mean people standing around in the kitchen, getting drunk, and talking sh… about each other :-) ) There was a random guy with a backpack standing outside in one of the scenes. I guess even backpackers didn’t care to stop by…
    The party looked so trashy but I guess what else can you expect from the party, to which people show up with their buttocks hanging out, and Joe Francis is in attendence? I think that the only reason Lisa picked the theme was so she can show her (enviable) body in a slutty outfit.
    I just hate those stupid charity events those women ( Housewives) organize. They try to look like they give back to the society, but they are only making sure that their social calendars stay busy. “I’ll invite you to my charity ball, and you’ll invite me to yours. Oh, we are so charitable” Blech. Instead of spending money on the venue, champagne, and food, give it directly to the people in need. But we know they won’t, because no one will hear about it.

    Aliens rock…as a person on a board of a charity, we throw an event that costs 10k, but we raise 30k. So the event helps raise money that we couldn’t have raised on our own…

    Just my two cents….

    Oh, Alejandra, I wish “THIS GUY” had a link attached to it so those not in-the-know could get there and see what happened. Tragedy. I hold no ill-will toward Roy, BTW. He’s got to earn a living and people need guys like him to defend them. NEWSFLASH: Not everyone charged with a crime actually did it. But this one damn skippy did!

    Back to reading. Can’t wait to get your take on the Black family’s reunion. Holy uncomfortable, Batman. Wow. That was just so…odd.

    Sigh. Too tired to finish the last couple of **magical**pages (me likey recap.[grin]). Perhaps more tomorrow.

    However I must say I think Karent proved herself to be a double dealing POT STIRRER FROM HELL! Damn! SHE asked if they’d slept together, and when he tells the truth (not even being sleazy about it, either), she rode her broom around the venue (the faster to find Joanna), and once with her wasted no effing time in tattling like a kindergartner. Aaaand she kept on doing it. I know that woman has some redeeming qualities…I just know it! She’s really gotta haul them out soon or hire a thereapist to teach
    her how to suppress the majority of her personality. Then she just might be tolerable.

    Although Adriana is working MY last nerve lol.

    Tired.

    Karent really forced Joanna’s hand by bringing Joe over and putting her on the spot. She could have pulled her off to the side and let Joanna contemplate how she wanted to handle it. I think Joe probably did sleep with her. He’s a sleazeball and was looking to start drama but he’s not stupid. He gets in so many conflicts and legal disputes with far greater stakes that he isn’t going to risk being exposed as a liar over something so inconsequential. He was so smarmy that I never really doubted him whereas Joanna seemed like she was initially more bummed that he had revealed it and then worked herself into a contrived anger cause she was put on the spot. Karent may have had good intentions but she really exacerbated the situation. Initially Joe only said he dated Joanna, which is not an inherently bad thing to say. Karent then asked if he slept with her and thus put the info on camera.

    Hah yeah I dont think Joanna actually had sex with Francis, maybe hooked up in some way but I don’t think all the way. Marta on the other hand… I think she did!!

    Wow Karent is not going herself any favors. At least she has a buddy in Jo though.

    Parties are hard! So is going on vacation. Don’t you remember when Camille had to lift a pencil and write down all of the things for one of her 4 nannies to do before they left? Gah!

    No wonder Joanna likes Karent. They are the same gossipy shit stirrers.

    Joe Francis – eww. Marta is going to bring you down Joanna.

    Alejandra – thanks for the shout out. I know she is bothering some of you, but I love Adriana and how upset she is getting about Karent.

    Oh and Joanna, running an art gallery and a magazine are considered “jobs”. You are the one who doesn’t have a “job”.

    Labowner, I thought the same thing. I actually liked this series because all the women but Lisa and Leah have jobs. I actually give Leah a pass because her event probably takes 3-4 months to put on and to raise that much money is awesome.

    Oh and Joe Francis is there for an hour or so and even he has figured out Karent is a shit stirrer. How sad is your life in JF is calling you out?

    No of course not Classy. Besides she probably sees nothing wrong with them because other parts of the cow were used for various reasons. It’s the same with vegan hippies who smoke. I am so above eating and wearing animals, but I have zero issues polluting the air they breath.

    Labowner, did you see Joanna’s explanation about how she can wear leather? BS! That is something people made up so they could get away with wearing leather jackets, shoes and purses.

    If you don’t think that any animals are raised for their leather you’re stupid.
