Finally, in episode 3, were being properly introduced to the two newestReal Housewives of Potomaccastmates.
Theres Dr. Wendy, of course, and the introduction to her lovely family and many degrees.
Truly, noHousewivesfranchise brings the literal LOLs quite likePotomac.
But now that Ive met Wendy, Im intrigued.
Its like the opposite of a Resting Bitch Face…a Living Whew Face, if you will.
If thats not a thesis statement for the entireReal Housewivesfranchise, I do not know what is.
Now thats not to suggest that Im on Candiaces side in all this.
She does, however…needto apologize.
And this season, she says, were witnessing a peaceful Candiace…nice to meet you.
Of course,Gizelleseems to be the one whotoldMonique all of those things about Candiaces betrayal…
So how close are you and Charisse?
Gizelle up and asks Candiace at the table, apropos of nothing.
To which I say does that seem somehowbetterthan fresh beef?
Candiace actually apologizes for not letting Monique know that Charisse would be at her anniversary party.
But then, something weird happens.
The editors play the audio of something that was caught on mic but not on camera.
Which simply has to be the worst possible way to say that.
Ashley has plenty to apologize for in the past, but she better notdarefeel guilty about anything regardingthatman.
Which certainly makes her the most academically educated Housewife weve ever had…right??
I remain concerned for her career as a professor but eager for her contributions to the mess that isRHOP.
I thought all kids wanted their parents back together, she exclaims in her testimonial.
I mean, I sawThe Parent Trap!
You know, the one that ended with Monique and Candiace screaming at each other off-screen.
But they are insistent that there was resolution.
None of that resolution is evident when Candiace arrives.
But when Candiace approaches the circle, everyone is still all, Heyyyyy, girl!
Soon, Wendy and Karen arrive, and the whole group convenes on the designated Housewives CouchTM.
Finally, theres a loud, insistent knock on the door…and itsCharisse.
Wendy says shes loyal to Candiace because thats just the throw in of friend she is.
Monique snorts: Tread lightly, thats what I was doing.
Suddenly, Candiace and Monique are just talking about the same thing at the exact same time.
Theyre not talking over each other; theyre not raising their voices; theyre not even speakingtoeach other.
Theyre just performing opposite monologues at the exact same time.
Oh boy…Monique, Gizelle, and Robyn allerupt: Oh, itsyouthis year!
Its not Ashley anymore!
Something about the seams of this operation are just a little shady.
Gizelle is truly shameless in her pot-stirring.
I agree with Karen: I want some more food.
And with that…yep, its time for my podcast!
See you next week!
