Last week ended with Mary and Angie in a tiff over Lisa.
I want to get this out of the way really quick. So ‘Soup Man’ is actually ‘Suit Man’ as we learn later in the episode.
Saw a TikTok video that actually explains who he is.
Suit Man is the nick name of a dude that the podcaster Sofia Franklin from the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast dated. His name is Alex Cooper. He’s an HBO exec. They actually did the podcast together.
So on Sofia’s current podcast, ‘Sofia with an ‘f’ she interviewed Meredith a few years ago and told Meredith that her ex “used to hook up with Angie.”
Meredith played dumb like she is known to do, and it gets dropped.
So did Angie possibly have a fling with this guy while with Shawn? It doesn’t seem like it would have been before Sean since they got married really young and Alex the Suit Man is in is forties. Angie is in her early 50’s. (she does a lot of Botox)
It did seem to me that when she and Lisa were slinging insults at each other and brought up the other’s side pieces, that there did seem to be truth to them both. Angie did seem genuinely confused, but I don’t think she put together ‘Soup Man’ as this guy.
It appeared that Lisa didn’t really deny having a boyfriend. But she wasted no time matching the accusation by bringing up ‘Suit Man’ (Not Soup Man.)
I could definitely see Angie liking this guy.
Anyway back to the episode, Angie and Heather discuss via FaceTime Lisa being Lisa, and how Mary is upset with Angie, and Angie cares more about that friendship than Lisa’s.
So our Below Deck crossover will be taking place. Heather is planning a trip that she “arranged with Captain Jason.” Hmm. What’s goin’ on there? I could totally see them together. Isn’t he single?

Here we are at the infamous chain ice cream sundae scene where Bronwyn looks like she’s in a Lifetime or made for Netflix movie about a typical small-town woman married to her Sugar Daddy. Fitting that they go for ice cream.
Todd absolutely HATES the show and HATES to be filmed. Also I thought he was supposed to be working on the way he treats her and how he comes off on camera.
Not sure how organic this scene was because it’s hard to decipher what’s real anymore. I do think SLC seems to me to be less scripted than the others at this point.
Bronwyn is looking and acting very child-like in her baby pink outfit and headband, ordering an ice cream sundae, rambling about the cherry.
As she tells Todd she only gets sundaes to eat the cherry on top which she always saves for last, he proceeds to pop said cherry directly into his pie hole looking very smug and proud of himself. It didn’t really seem to me like she expected that.
I think I was more disturbed with the fact that she has a soda with an ice cream sundae. Of all things to drink with that huge sugar overload, a soda?
So we move past that, and Bronwyn asks if he saw the selfie she took and proceeds to give him the deets on the last arguing event. Todd doesn’t even try to pretend to be interested.
I feel bad for her trying to engage with him as he sits there and scowls. The douche bag can’t even lift his head and fucking look at her. What is wrong with him? I guess you can use the cameras as an excuse, but is it?
She’s proud she wasn’t involved in the chaos and wants some type of praise for that.
With the way she’s dressed and acting, he should pat her on her head and say ‘that’s a very good girl Bronwyn!!’
As this excruciating convo goes on, his absolute annoyance and boredom with discussing Housewives with her becomes more and more apparent.
Her yaps during this scene are basically her making excuses for his demeanor. You can tell the producers asked her to talk about that scene, and how he seemed dismissive.
She even tears up at one point telling him he’s bumming her out as she’s trying to engage with him and tell him about the psychic. She does manage to make him say he’s sorry, but he doesn’t mean it. This man is atrocious.

John and Lisa have a discussion while she’s packing for the yacht trip. She of course manages to get in that “all of her other private yacht cruises have been 7 – 10 days, and this one is only three.”
Okay Lisa, it’s a Housewife ‘work’ trip which are always 2 – 4 days tops. You’ve done this before. The incessant bragging needs to stop at some point. It’s making you look shallow and pathetic. And also that you are spending way beyond your means. Wealthy people don’t talk like this.
She tells John about her psychic experience and how he ‘picked up’ on the fact that she and John haven’t been getting along. Poor guy. He looks so scared.
As she tells him they aren’t communicating she cuts him off completely and interrupts him in the middle of speaking.
Can’t make this shit up (or the farts.)
She takes a breath, so he manages to get out a sentence asking how she felt when he said that.
She admits in her yap this is not a recent occurrence, and it’s been a struggle since Day 1.
She claims she ‘manages the household’ and works, and doesn’t feel appreciated. I don’t know that she ‘manages the household’ but whatever you say Lisa. She doesn’t even know how to cook, and I’m sure she has a cleaning lady.
Last season she mentioned poor Henry had to plan his own birthday party, so not sure what she thinks ‘managing a household’ entails.
I feel like it was a lot for him to say to her that she doesn’t listen to him because she already thinks she’s right.
That’s not exactly ‘not being on the same page.’
That’s just life with a spoiled bratty inconsiderate entitled narcissist.
Of course what John tells her she is doing wrong, (not listening to him nor caring) she accuses him of also doing the exact same thing.
Also life with a spoiled bratty inconsiderate entitled narcissist.
Like they’re so fucking dumb. They can’t even be creative and come up with their own fucking grievance. They just repeat back on you what you said. Morons.
She does her signature ugly cry in her yap as she says “yeah I’m a bulldog but my feelings also get hurt.” Okay well you know ya can’t have it both ways. Pick a fucking personality already. Jesus. You can’t be a bully AND a victim. Narcs are nothing if they’re not entertaining as fuck.
Lisa has literally painted their marriage as picture-perfect since the show has began, I’m just saying.
John tries to make a joke, but it doesn’t really land. I think mostly because he wasn’t really joking when he dryly says “everything that you do is perfect, it’s just me.”

Mary drops in on Angie. Angie seems in major ass-kissing mode and meets her at the door as Mary bitches she doesn’t usually answer the door when she visits.
She offers Mary her ‘favorite’ drink however not the sugar-free version. Mary scoffs and refuses it.
Angie apologizes. I forget why they were even fighting. Angie was mad she’s friends with Lisa?
Mary starts lecturing her on getting too worked up about things that don’t matter. Then she goes right into chastising Angie for ‘making fun of her fart.’ I guess that’s something that IS important.
I hate this. I like them as friends. They’re both so teeny and cute.
Apparently Mary and the poodle were gassy one day and it’s unclear as to who was responsible for which farts, specifically.
And yes, this is a real conversation. And it went on entirely too long.
In the end, they drop the fart fight, and make up. I’m sure Angie will not make fun of her fart ever again.

Lisa and Heather meet at a boutique. Lisa is pissed because she can’t bring glam. You know since it’s a yacht and there are a certain number of beds. Lisa claiming to be such a frequent private yacht traveler should have realized that.
And would she make these poor girls sit in their cabin all day if there was room for them? Yes, she probably would.
They bicker about Angie. Heather tries to get Lisa to see she is also guilty of saying bitchy things.
Heather questions ‘Soup Man.’ Lisa clarifies it’s actually ‘Suit Man.’
However she offers no clarification of who this guy is, and acts like she just made it up on the fly. Lucky for you, I informed you.
Heather tries to make Lisa understand how she is, and how things she says rubs people the wrong way.
She then insinuates she has a lot more money than Angie. Exactly the point Heather is trying to make.
Does anyone even remember why they’re even arguing? Over farts? No that was Mary and Angie
I am taking offense to hassling someone during a shopping experience though. It’s just rude.
The contention continues as they approach the register. The sales girls look so annoyed. Do they not understand what they’re getting into when they agree to this?
The infamous vintage Teresa-like scenario with Lisa paying for her boutique purchases with a wad of cash.
She’s been on social media that it’s ‘tip money’ from her events, which I found confusing. As an event planner which is what I think she is, why would she get the tips? Wouldn’t that go to the staff? She seriously takes their tips?

Britani meets her daughter Olivia at a coffee shop. It’s all over social media that Britani acted like she was just someone that Olivia was confiding in, not the person she was actually upset with.
What really is wrong with Britani? Is she like slow or something, and I don’t mean that disrespectfully.
Why did she need a fucking psychic to tell her to stop choosing Lurch who treats her like shit, over her daughters.
Whitney also tried to tell her this last week, and she just looked at her with this weird glazed look on her face.
This interaction seems awkward. Britani tries to bring up something funny from when she was little that didn’t really land.
Sounds like when she got remarried after divorcing her daughters’ dad, there were issues, so her kids moved in with their dad. Perhaps they didn’t get along with the new husband.
Olivia shares that last time they tried to meet and talk, Jared came over and they started making out if front of her. Euww. Just fucking euww.
What is WRONG with this fucking broad? I swear to God, the lights are on and absolutely NO ONE is home.
Olivia says she wants Britani to get to know her. Like did they not ever spend any time together?
Britani says she chooses men because she has kids that don’t talk to her, but I kind of think her being boy crazy is WHY they don’t talk to her.
Olivia has her own yap, where she says she was twelve when Britani got remarried and she stopped being a present mom.
I’m assuming this dude was a controlling man-child and cried like a stupid little bitch that she was paying more attention to her fucking kids than him.
And she chose him.
And now they’re divorced anyway.
Even when she talked about not talking to her daughters in her yaps, it never really even seemed like she cared.
So since this girl was twelve she hasn’t had a relationship with her? That’s what it seems like.

Meredith’s laugh is a laugh like no other. We haven’t gotten to see what AIR BNB she’s in this season, since you know she doesn’t even live in Utah.
She’s reminding me of OC’s Shannon right now with all of her mishaps. She claims she has a bum toe but is wearing very high and uncomfortable-looking boots to go on a hike.
And what do they discuss? Why Lisa of course.
Meredith is believing Lisa that she didn’t tell Angie to dig up dirt on her.
She is just doing the buying the BS thing like she always fucking does.
She even drinks her coffee weird.

Not a preference sheet. Are we watching Housewives or Below Deck? Mary who is probably the most finicky eater in the whole gang hasn’t done hers.
Whitney doesn’t have to explain to us what a preference sheet is. Hello? We watch Below Deck.
So the Bronwyn tea. Apparently she has a bit of a sketchy past other than the teen pregnancy to a dude she barely knew.
Just a little identity theft and grand theft. I think it’s kind of weird she kept her maiden name if she has all of these skeletons.
Maybe he didn’t want her to take his name.
Did she think this wasn’t going to come out at some point?
I like how she describes it as ‘they’re saying’ as if this is all made up.
She goes on to say there was more than an eviction notice, and the case was dismissed and then later sealed and she can’t speak on it.
Sounds to me like it was shortly before she was with Todd and he probably paid big bucks to have it ‘sealed.’
Todd tries to talk her out of going on the super yacht trip.
Well, it’s her job, Todd.
She’s going. Also she probably doesn’t want to be with you.
