Tacos kicked Katie out of her house for ‘failing’ the fake lie detector test on a fake reality show.
Now she’s super proud of herself for humiliating and bragging in her deep bellowing man-voice to her posse about it with her flabby arms going a mile a minute.
Okay well ONE flabby arm is flapping. Usually she has them both going when she’s worked up about mocking one of the other ladies.
Maybe she’s trying to show some restraint.
I guess that part was just part of the previews.
******
Tacos should probably NOT do these testosterone ‘implants.’ I mean if you’re already built like a linebacker, is that a good idea?
And for the love of all that is holy please don’t discuss your sex life. No one wants to picture that.
So I’m assuming the testosterone shots making these women want to have sex all day long is basically because they just force you to act like a man.
Emily tells Gretchen she’s hoping Katie is now gone (due to the extreme bullying.)
Gretchen in her Stepford Wife outfit says she hopes Tamra’s apology and hug were sincere. Yikes. What a dumb ass. Not only does she look like a Stepford Housewife, she’s also acting like one.
Jenn meets with Katie and she’s crossed over into the typical Housewife realm in case you haven’t been able to tell.
Katie arrives. Jenn already has her food and coffee when that’s actually kind of rude. It seems like that was to make a statement.
She seems more into her latte nd barely greets Katie. She just sits there with her face in her latte. Fucking rude.
Jenn sarcastically questions whether or not she has receipts, when it’s obvious she had a yellow envelope in her hand.
Maybe she should take off the unnecessary sunglasses she’s wearing.
You can tell she has the Housewife ‘tude’ going. Good job Jenn.
She WAS a fan fave. I can see that slipping away if she’s going to side with the mean girl brigade.
I guess the ‘alliance’ discussion took place prior to filming and Jenn has jumped ship to save her job.
Bravo probably told her to stop being so genuine and nice.
There’s no being nice in Housewives!
We can’t have that! What do you think is?? A reality show? We don’t want reality!
Please DON’T act like yourself.
Jenn scolds her for not passing the fake test.
Long story short, and I would really love to condense this, but probably not. Katie presents the receipts showing this lie detector outfit is basically for entertainment purposes and most likely not legit, but Jenn acts too dumb to understand that. Which isn’t a stretch.
Jenn continues to suck on that fucking coffee cup like it’s crack, and acting like Katie didn’t just show her proof these people aren’t at all legit.
“They’re going to think that’s preposterous.”
That’s a really big word for Jenn. And that line shows she’s drinking the Kool-aid, and is not going to listen to anything reasonable.
Katie literally has a print-out of the website! Someone really needs her job, especially since it seems like she’s second guessing this marriage to that shyster Ryan.
And word on the streets is the wedding is ‘postponed.’ And no it’s not because her kids is going to be in boot camp.
That’s kind of neither here nor there right now.
They part ways and Jenn continues to act like she doesn’t know that these people (hired by Bravo probably) were not legit and were paid to say whatever they were told by Tacos or Bravo.
People think the producer that Katie was crying to outside of Taco’s house looked kind of guilty.

While Gina’s and Britt’s relationship is great and I applaud that, it seems a little unrealistic and kind of odd that they would be this good of friends. It seems exaggerated.
I predict Britt being a Housewife next season, and that’s why we’re seeing these scenes with Gina.
I didn’t realize Matt has this heart attack during filming. I came across an article a month or so ago and thought it just happened.
I’m assuming Britt doesn’t have kids.
Gina’s jean dress is way too short. She again needs to stay out of the junior department and dress for her body and age.
Who wants to tell her she’s like 5’10”? She tries to dress cutesy an she’s just not pulling it off.
Britt is stunning. She’s like Kelli Dodd’s much cuter younger sister.
Matt’s fine now. Thank God. Not really. Just kidding. I’m sure he’s a great guy. That beat up his wife. When he was having a bad day.
Gina makes this about her, and how Travis’ ex hates her. There’s definitely more to that.
******
Tamra, Heather and Jenn meet up so Jenn can fill them in on Katie telling her the lie detector test was a set-up, and most likely not accurate
The fact that Emily passed the question about talking about Heather in front of her kids alone proves it was fucking crap.
Jenn has the envelope in tow, and can’t wait to roll out the scoop.
Tamra orders a chardonnay.
They immediately ridicule that these lie detector people are for entertainer purposes. Their site literally said they will say what you tell them to say.
This is like a joke at this point, except it’s not really funny. Jokes are funny,
Fucking Heather makes some sort of fucktard comparison to Terry being an actual doctor, even though he’s on TV.
Okay Heather. How’s that acting career going? That’s what I thought.
Tamra and Jenn attempt another chat to pretend to make up. Tamra claims she ‘beats herself up’ over the dinner at Katie’s last season.
Eddie was so pissed at her.
******
Tacos Gina and Shannon meet to pretend to shop at a small boutique.
I know some may be critiquing Shannon for not having a ‘story line’ this season, but I’m cool with her acting semi-normal and drama-free.
I think in this season she seems a little fish out of water, not having a man to complain about, and the DUI is of course so two years ago and old news (so what does that have to say about SEVENTEEN years ago?
Kind of disappointed she’s jumping on the ‘I hate Katie’ bandwagon, but I assume she’s just desperate for something to say.
What do they immediately start discussing? Why Katie of course.
For someone they’re trying to phase out of the group, it’s pretty funny and ironic that they can’t stop talking about her, just SAYING.
“Katie said they’re hired actors” Jenn reports to Tacos.
So their website ACTUALLY says they’re hired actors, but why bother splitting hairs.
I feel like Gina and Shannon know this is all horseshit. Shannon doesn’t like this phony take-down crap. At least she didn’t use to.
Like none of these women even have anything going on except their hatred for the new Asian Housewife. Bravo really needs to watch this, putting minority Housewives on, then ordering the white women to treat her like shit. In this environment, they don’t feel like that’s an issue, and they’re comfortable doing that?
And as much as I’d love to blame Tacos for the whole thing, you know it was production that planned this and picked this fake lie guy.
He was on Beverly Hills and tested LVP, so there’s that.
But Tacos I would think without getting ‘fired’ as a Housewife has the option to refuse to do something this fucking asinine.
Especially as an attorney pretending to be involved in the Innocence Project and knowing lie detector tests are not legit as evidence.
If she thinks refusing to do a scene that makes her look like a lying fucking fucktard would get her fired, then she doesn’t have very much confidence in her value to the show.
So instead she wants to show viewers how she has no integrity whatsoever.
Tacos, I don’t think your defense should be that you don’t have time on your hands. Give us a fucking break. Clearly you have TOO much time on your hands.
Tacos stages for her kid to call her to talk weird and act defiant.
She then cries about this fake autism diagnosis and questions if she’s a bad mom for leaving the house.
She’s not a bad mom for leaving the house, but I don’t know, you do the math in what she’s leaving the house for right now, so it does seem like some fucked-up priorities if this kid is in this much distress when she leaves.
I think Shannon feels a little left out with Gemily since they’re actual close friends. Emily starts blubbering about Luke, and Shannon doesn’t seem to know what to say. Maybe she realizes it’s fake and she’s never had to fake anything going on in her life for the show, so she’s confused.
Or maybe her kids just never didn’t listen.
He refuses to go to school? So she’s just not sending him to school because he ‘refuses?’ That might be made up.
She refers to her and Shane as “roommates navigating these kids.” These kids.
That just seemed like a weird way to put it to the world.
We all know your marriage is a lavender marriage of convenience, and you only married Shane for his (family’s) money. Tacos, JUST please take a seat.
Good job telling on yourself that your marriage is a big fat lie.

I’m feeling like Matt is starting to embrace the House Husband thing.
He and Katie chat about these nonsense goings on.
Matt says he’s been on three-way convos with Slade and Ryan.
This is so over-produced. Who knows, I’m even wondering if that dinner wasn’t orchestrated by production and Gretchen was told to announce the ‘hospital’ thing.
Literally, never want to hear the word ‘hospital’ on Bravo ever again.
Fucking ridick. Shannon’s DUI is old news being circa 2023, who wants to talk about and relive this? No one.
But here we are obsessing over an occurrence in 2000 fucking eight.
And what’s worse, we’re not talking about the REAL actual disturbing issue in that episode, of the way messy-ass Tamra made her KID creep all over a tipsy Gretchen! I get it he was a legal adult, but STILL. Fucking GROSS.
I guess Gretchen’s marching orders were to not mention THAT! That would be so dumb!
Matt shows his call history and there are a lot of calls from Slade/Gretchen.
Matt claims Slade even told him “Gretchen is going to deny it.”
I don’t get what the big deal is. No one gets it. Bravo are you listening? Literally NO ONE gets it.
I feel like we may want to blame Slade for this, but I think that’s giving him too much credit. This has production written all over it.
And they’re not doing a very good job. Did they had the new gay guy intern come up with the story line this season??
Definitely someone that doesn’t really get women, because the real smoking gun here IF they really wanted to rehash this, why not bring up the real issue of that night?
Bravo loves that old clip from the reunion ions ago (even longer than 17 years if you can believe it) when Slade bragged that it was HIS decision alone to leave Housewives back in the second season. Then Andy points out that his ex-girlfriend left the show so why would he still be on?
It is kind of funny, but enough. We know Slade’s a clown.
I think Katie hits the nail on the head.
That was also the general consensus the last season they were on. Maybe that’s where Katie got it. Or not. Either way, it’s accurate.
I don’t get how this is ‘burying Tamra’ though, if Gretchen is covering for her.
I’m feeling kind of slow for not following Housewives but it makes NO FUCKING SENSE!
******
Jenn hosts a beach day. This is so SoCal. We HAVE to do a beach day. She didn’t invite Katie.
Heather is so fucking weird. Ya know I try to watch the sun exposure too, but holy fuck, a little sun is also okay. She looks like a vampire. How are you that pale living in Southern California??
Carrying an umbrella around for fucks sake. She can’t just put on a fucking hat like a normal person.
It must have been ‘bring a friend’ day. AKA Housewife wannabe auditions.
Britt is definitely a 2026 Housewife, and hmmmm something tells me she and Gina will no longer be chummy. I might have ESPN!!
Bravo ordered Tamra to drag Jo around with her again, even though she’s trying to crawl up Gretchen’s ass.
Again, no one gets it.
Jenn’s sons are trying to get a volleyball game going, but no one wants to play.
Gotta love So Cal beaches, where you have to bundle up.
I thought the croissant in a box presentation was going to represent something, like a trip to France. But I guess it was just a croissant in a box.
It was funny how Heather announces her daughter is going to Yale, directly followed by Tamra announcing Sophia having her first boyfriend.
Pretty sure that’s exactly what Heather was thinking.
Then Shannon announces HER Sophie got dumped, but the good news is she’s visiting. I just realized both have daughters named Sophia (assuming Sophie’s full name is Sophia.)
Finally Tamra questions Gretchen as to why she said that she did go to the hospital seventeen years ago, when they were in New Orleans.
Of course Katie’s not here to witness this. That would make way too much sense.
Gretchen denies that Slade called Matt ordering him to tell Katie not to talk about it with anyone.
But why? This is what viewers don’t get. If their goal was to take Tamra down, why not let Katie blab about it?
It’s screaming set-up story line.
With everyone in on it except Katie.
Why would Katie still blab to this Kiki character if she was asked not to say anything? Unless she was told this after the fact?
It’s hard for me to believe she’s not in on the act, however she seems to be genuinely upset.
And if Tamra knows Gretchen is lying, then why isn’t she defending Katie? Instead of spending her time trying to crawl up Gretchen’s asshole and beg for forgiveness for being a dickwad to Slade years ago (which I don’t think was undeserved.)
Why is no one asking this? Because of the pre-filming ‘alliance’ discussion?
Anyway Tamra and Gretchen step away from the group to chat.
Gretchen immediately questions her dragging fucking Jo around with her everywhere looking like some kind of Bravo Stepford Housewife Puppet.
Tamra claims she ‘hadn’t really thought about’ whether or not it would bother Gretchen or not and ‘it’s not that deep.’
Bravo, pretty please can you have Jenn or Gretchen next season drag this old ‘Judge’ dude (who was Eddie’s boss, and rumored Eddie’s ex-lover who ‘adopted’ him as an adult) around?
Or any of Eddie’s ex-boyfriends or girlfriends really?
Or Simon? Or his wife?
No TamTam Gretchen doesn’t think Jo is here to ‘go after her.’
That’s not Jo’s personality. Tamra should be secure enough in her Housewife ‘job’ to tell production bringing Jo with her is pretty stupid and makes her look like (even more of) a fucking desperate pathetic moronic piece of shit.
And then on top of all of that, Tamra plays fucking dumb and pretends like she didn’t really think it about it. Yes, Tamra we know you’re not deep and you don’t think, but thanks for reminding us!
Gretchen demands an apology for Tamra accusing her of cheating on Jeff (seventeen years ago.)
I think she definitely WAS with that guy for money, and that she probably was messing around oh him. Gretchen isn’t exactly innocent. Is Tamra worse, yes, but Tamra’s worse than everyone.
I think I kind of glazed over that episode where she admitted she was with Eddie while she was still married to, and with Simon. That was new, right? I thought previously she was denying that. Whatever. Not surprised. They’re all a bunch of skanks that project.
Gretchen goes on to complain about the deadbeat dad thing. Again not wanting to take Tamra’s side but I believe due to his financial difficulties (not having income) he most likely was behind on his child support, and pretty sure the technical term for that IS deadbeat dad.
Gretchen claims this is why Slade has been unable to get a job (in the last seventeen years, which I do hate to keep harping on but they leave me no choice.)
Gretchen needs reminded she chose to stay with this man for all of these years. I think it’s kind of fucked up to blame Tamra that he’s lazy and a loser. Even if it is Tamra.
Tamra would be better off steering clear of the ‘Eddie is gay’ rumors. It’s obvious to see that he is. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But he is.
She claims there was no other ‘talk’ about him being gay before Gretchen mentioned it, and I beg to differ.
That was going around very early when people were wondering why he doesn’t have a Latino last name. Oh, and why he acts gay.
So Gretchen tries to stop the tit for tat endless circle that they start to fall into, and apologizes for commiserating with Sidney on social media about Tamra.
Viewers don’t care about this, and perhaps Gretchen is smart enough to see how this is going to translate onto screen, even if Tamra isn’t.
Tamra sort of half-ass apologizes in her Tamra way, and reminds her she did apologize to Slade (in 2012.)
Bravo should really stop playing these time-stamped flashes because it keeps bringing to viewers’ attention how long ago all of this was. I need to stop bitching about that but I can’t help it!
Gretchen quickly reminds her that she was STILL saying it recently when his son passed away. Which was very very shitty of her given the circumstances.
She quickly gets defensive with “I didn’t say he was a deadbeat daaaaaaad!”
Okay Tamra stop playing dumb. I don’t know what’s worse, when a really smart person plays dumb, when they know they fucked up, or a really dumb person make themselves look extra fucking dumb.
Tamra blames iHeart for ‘putting together their headlines.’ So iHeart tells her what to talk about? Not sure she should have admitted that she has no control over her podcast. I don’t think I caught that when I watched it Thursday night. She’s so stupid.
You know her posture and demeanor throughout this discussion is so off. Like she’s extra on the defense. The way she’s craning her neck out and leaning forward like a fucking giraffe. Like she’s trying too hard to make it appear that she’s confident. Woman sit the hell back!
Gretchen calmly asks if she wants to move forward or not. Don’t think screeching “I don’t like you!!” is having a productive conversation. God she’s such a moron.
This is where Gretchen rolls out Slade’s ongoing unemployment situation being her fault, which is ludicrous.
I’m surprised Tamra is taking that seriously. Or pretending to. She delivers this dramatic apology that no one buys.
They agree to bury it. But I’m sure you’ve all seen the previews that this does not last.
Shannon is immediately annoyed. She calls herself the ‘asshole of the group’ if she doesn’t also make up with her.
I think she should just keep doing what she’s doing. Being cordial with her, and that’s it. That’s not being an asshole if you’re being polite and having laughs but not going back to being besties.
Sophie joins all the way from NYC, and Tacos actually has a good idea (that doesn’t even involve food) and has everyone tell their worst (but funny) break-up story, since she just got dumped by some loser.
I guess they’ve never seen geese flying before when they point out the birds flying ‘in a perfect line.’
They think ‘it’s a sign.’
Wow these bitches are dumb.
You ding dongs, this is how geese ALWAYS fly.
