Kenya throwing shade upon shade on Sanya’s party. It was kind of lame. Sorry. I had no problem with the balloons, they were fine. Balloons are balloons. What constitutes ‘fancy’ balloons?
There was no effort put into the food and drinks whatsoever. Now THAT constitutes a shitty party.
Why ALWAYS the FaceTiming on Housewives now? ALWAYS. Like really Drew and Kenya, we gotta FaceTime with that weird shit all over your eyes? There just really are times, you don’t answer a FaceTime call. Bravo pushing the FaceTiming for some reason. Just put them on speaker if they need to show they really are on the phone with them.
I love the Housewife trips where the organizer is always so insistent and there is not going to be any “drama” or arguing. I don’t know why the person they’re telling that to doesn’t just start laughing, and make a joke out of it.
We know they’re going to be yellin and making a scene at the first dinner before they even get through the salad. Even if it weren’t for previews, we know.
We seem to have a totally different Ralph and Drew now than we had when the season first started. I’m not hating it. They’re getting along in most of the scenes and Ralph isn’t acting like a narcissistic pain in the ass.
But then again, he hasn’t really been filmed that much. Sadly, last night Drew posted on Twitter something about “working on her marriage.” There were a lot of comments along the lines of “you need to leave him.”
I think this may be part of his apprehension in adopting her son, that their marriage is rocky.
I don’t get why she’s being so pushy about it. It’s something you shouldn’t want to be pushy about if you ask me. If he really wants to do it, and the birth dad is on board, then fine. But neither of those things seem to be the case. With all of my areas of expertise, this really isn’t one of them, but it feels like common sense.
Not feeling this ‘story line.’ I just think it’s too personal, and involves a child, and I really don”t think it should be her main talking point on the show. It also seems like she wants this done for financial reasons. Not because Ralph is exceptionally close to her her son, and a great role model, and wants to take over the father role, and make it official. Ralph isn’t exactly warm and fuzzy, and I’m really not getting this impression.
Drew says “out of nowhere, Ralph spoke to Josiah’s father, and because he wasn’t on board, Ralph decides against it.” I don’t think that’s “out of nowhere.” I think it was the right thing to do, to call his birth father. One of them would have had to discuss it with the birth father. Did they just plan on mailing him the documents to sign? That’s kind of cold. But, having said that, Ralph is very shady.
I don’t trust one fucking thing this creep says. Did he perhaps initiate this convo because he really didn’t want to go through with the adoption, and perhaps, did he sort of talk him out of it? Does the birth father even see Josiah or support him at all? If that answer is no, then what reasons does he have to
So I think, since they are making this the world’s business, I’m not sure Ralph actually wants to adopt him. He shouldn’t have told Drew that if he wasn’t planning on following through. I cannot stand people saying things that they don’t intend to follow through on. That’s such a lack of integrity and lack of respect for the person they’re making promises to.
Drew says she’s confused about him not adopting Josiah, because he’s ‘writing a book’ about step parenting. (which seems strange) But isn’t he a still a step parent if he doesn’t adopt him?
Actually if he adopts him, then he’s NOT actually a step parent. I sometimes wonder about the awkwardness of marriages that end in divorce, where the spouse (probably usually the husbands) adopts their spouse’s child.
I wonder how many times the adoptive step parent is regretful of their decision. Sometimes it IS genuine, but sometimes I think it’s not. Especially when guys do it because their wives are pushing them. (as Drew is with Ralph) So if he does go through with it, and they end up getting divorced (let’s face it – how long is she really going to put up with him?) is Ralph really going to treat Josiah like his own son? I don’t know.
She refers to it as “heart breaking.” Not sure why. You would think you would want your child’s biological dad involved in his life?
They meet with Ralph’s publisher. (or actual author of the book in my opinion) Drew asks a question about the pretense of the book, and Ralph deflects it to this “publisher.” In other words, SHE is writing the book. It is strange Drew is excluded from this project when this is about HER son? Right?
These two sometimes remind me of PK and Dorit on Beverly Hills. Everything they do seems shady, and not really like they are actually doing what they are claiming. He asks Drew to “write the forward.” How can she write the forward if she has no clue what the book is even about. I don’t know. I tried to give Ralph the benefit of the doubt, but …
The more they talk about this, the weirder it all sounds. He sounds about involved in the actual content and ‘writing’ of the book, as Drew is in “Drop it with Drew.”
I feel like that went on way too long.
Leaving for Jamaica. Ross, the keeper of the passports, forgets his passport. Marlo is bringing a “friend/florist.” Kenya’s cousin is sick, and is not coming as her “buddy.” Apparently everyone who didn’t have a husband had to bring a buddy. Just weird.
Sanya ridicules Kenya in her yap. Yes Sanya, people DO get sick. We are living in a time, of panicking over a sneeze or cough. I refuse to use the sentence, and never have used it, “we are in the middle of a pandemic.” We never were and we certainly are not. I was always like “how do you know it’s the middle??” when people said that. We’ve been in the ‘middle’ of it since June 2020. It seemed like people liked the drama of saying that.
Sanya seems to have stepped up her hostessing skills I guess. There are gift baskets in all of the rooms, she says, and rose petals in Kenya’s room to celebrate her birthday. That seems like a strange thing for a birthday but, whatever.
Todd is ‘cleansing’ and not drinking. Well that’s no fun on vacay! So he doesn’t really have a drinking problem? He just thought 3 or 4 drinks per week was too many? Yikes.
Kenya picks up a dude in the golf cart on the way to the room. He actually is cute and seems halfway normal. We all know Kenya is the worst at picking men. As am I.
Kandi is cracking me up. She’s all hangry and telling Todd “I need to eat!”
Which I can appreciate. Traveling is the worst as far as meals. They don’t give you shit on airplanes anymore, so even if you eat something substantial before you leave, and bring snacks, it’s like SEVERAL hours since you last ate something for real, when you get to your destination. And you don’t get alcohol on the planes anymore! Don’t even get me started on that.
Kenya’s random dude isfrom England. So he MUST be nice right?
The resort is approved by these super finicky judgy ladies. All I can even hear is Marlo’s big yap. What’s she even saying?? I’m like tuning this spazz out.
Kenya has this random dude meet her in her room for a quick drink before the restaurant. There are camera guys, so it’s safe, not to worry. He does seem like a normal okay guy. Kenya’s dress – she looks bangin. She brags she’s a great judge of character or something, and they flash to the three horrible dudes she’s had since show began.
This stupid book gets brought up and Ralph, who loves the spotlight, goes into it. He explains he’s now not adopting Josiah since the birth dad is not happy about it. For once Ralph is making some sense. Not sure why the ladies don’t get this. The fact that the birth dad does not want to comply should end the conversation.
Marlo gets all in her feelings, and as per usual we hear about how she was a foster child. She compares her situation to theirs, and it’s literally NOT anywhere near the same. They’re not deserting this kid, just because there’s no piece of paper where the birth dad hands him over to Ralph. And why are we all acting like Ralph walks on water. This is Ralph.
And right on queue, the screaming starts
Kandi calls her out, since you know, she has ditched the nephews. Marlo drones on about being a foster child, and it would be upsetting if someone wanted to adopt her and then backed out. Marlo, newsflash! Josiah is NOT a foster child!
How does THAT foster child argument, apply about Kandi’s Mom not getting along with Todd several years ago. We don’t know. Marlo clearly just got bored with jabbing at Kenya, so she’s moved on to Kandi. The two ladies that she’s the most jealous of.
Then they proceed to argue about Todd, and he’s sitting right there. It’s really awkward. I don’t even get this argument. Marlo just starts bitching at Kandi about random crap.
Now she says Kandi “takes care of her husband and too many people?” Or doesn’t take care of them? She can’t be a working mom? (it does seem like she’s never around though…) But still NOT on Marlo’s side with this. You don’t scream that at a mom in front of people about this, Also it’s none of her business.
She walks right into the “you don’t have a husband or kids!!” from Kandi.
Sanya in her yap “what is happening ? This is is embarrassing…”
Well Sanya, that’s your girl, you’ve been all up in her fucking asshole all season, wanting to be her bestie. This is how she is. Have you not been paying attention?
Todd who met Kandi when he was a producer on the show, points out that none of the ladies were her friends, and she “bought her way into the circle.”
So what if he called her a “country bumpkin” before they met and started talking. Think there are a lot worse things to call someone? And it was before they were even together.
Marlo delivers the “You’re only known in Atlanta!” line we’ve been seeing on every preview, and then keeps repeating the ‘country bumpkin’ thing that Todd supposedly called her. Ten years ago. When they barely knew each other. Sounds like a piece of crucial info she’s been holding onto all of these years. This woman is OFF. Desperate to just hate on everyone’s relationships.
Kenya’s date is outta there. He’s English. He’s not dealing with these crazy -ass -no -couth -what so freaking ever Americans, g for another second. I don’t blame him.
This all went from zero to ridiculous in two seconds. That’s unusual for a dinner on a Housewife vacay.
