Trip to Mexico for the birthday girl, Ashley Darby. Housewife Girls trip! Why the hell not, the other one went so well. And by well, I mean how we now expect them to go. Going to the arguing table, and screaming and throwing shit. And most of these ladies are not getting along at all.
Karen and Ray are having a fake convo about how Ashley, she and Wendy are going to the destination ahead of time.
What is Ashley and Wendy’s dynamic? They can’t just be indifferent. The wives either love or hate each other. There seems to be no in between. I would think there’s some tension since Candiace and Wendy are besties. Ashley is on a tear down campaign towards Candiace fueled by jealousy. Seemingly trying to accuse Chris of shit her skeevy weirdo husband has been doing for the past eight years. Only Chris hits on women though, allegedly. Not that it matters, cheating is cheating. Just saying.
Gizelle shares a health issue with Robyn, and us of course. Looks like she’s having a hysrectomy. Okay so I’m cringing right now because I just don’t like hearing about gory medical procedures. She talls about her down time afterwards. I think after this procedure you need to take it easy for a week or so, but it shouldn’t be that big of a deal. I know that’s hard to not be able to do things you’re normally able to, even for a short time.
They discuss Karen’s show, and leaving out Charrisse. Then some video from Miami where Karen was cuittin a rug and one of the girls flopped out. She gets pissed about them being referred to as titties. Oh my God, Karen, ohhkay. Stop sounding like an old fogie. You wanna act like you’re young and hip then deal with it! They’re titties!! More gossiping ensues, and pretending to be annoyed by Karen hating Charrisse.
Family meeting at the Dixon’s discussing their wedding ceremony. I get wanting to keep it small. But not having anyone in attendance, not even her parents who she says she’s very close to, or her BFF Gizelle, seems strange. I totally get not wanting it to be a whole big thing on the show where she’s stuck inviting all off of these crazy bitches. What about this. Her parents, Gizelle and the girls, and not sure what the deal is with his parents, but whatever family he’s closest to on his side. Still small and intimate and still some family and friends to make it special. Not sure at this point if it has already happened. They were wanting to do it before July 2022. I’ll have to look up and see if I can f ind something.
There are no plans as to destination. Sounds like she wants something beachy. I think a little beachside thing would be appropriate. I liked the Jamaica idea. They should do some sort of getaway.
Not fucking Maryland. No. The boys get measured for suits.
Mia sitting in her home office looking important. Her lips are so bizarre. She absolutely always looks like she’s puckering. Does she do that on purpose, or is that just because they’re so huge? She complains to to Gordon that Jacqueline is pissed that she wanted Mia to arrange (pay for is what I’m assuming she means by that) for her kids’ care for the trip to Mexico. So it does seem like we have an issue here of Jacqueline sort of taking advantage of Mia, and expecting her to pay for shit. Perhaps as a payback for her family taking her in as a teenager?
So it is kind of an interesting dynamic in that Jacqueline’s sister is her nanny, so Mia has offered to just have Jacqueline’s kids with hers and her sister when she’s away. (is this really a nanny? Or are they trying to sound bougie?)
Sounds more like a babysitter? She’s not a live-in is she? Mia bitches that this shouldn’t be an all the time thing. But honestly what’s the big deal? If the kids all get along, it helps out her friend, who cares. What happened to the Porsche talk, and all of that bragging? What was that, “if my friend’s not winning then I’m not winning, and I’m a bad friend…”
Or something along those lines. What a bunch of bologna that was! But she can’t be okay with helping her out with something that doesn’t really cost her anything? I don’t know. It ‘s really hard to have input here because their dynamic is so strange. There’s also a layer of complication since there’s been some insinuation of some sort of side action with her and Gordon. Maybe Mia is pissed that she shared some of this messiness on the show.
Guys, I can’t stand Ashley. In her yap, she’s pretending to be apprehensive about her singlehood. Please spare us. You can’t be grinning ear to ear constantly, then pretending to be a little sad about it.
No one buys it. Well I shouldn’t say ‘no one’ buys it. I and many others aren’t buying it! Did you all see what she was wearing on WWHL Sunday night? Some cheap looking Fredericks of Hollywood looking trashy dress. I feel bad for her little guys having to grow up watching their mom dressed like a ho constantly. She badly needs a wardrobe person. I was embarrassed for her wearing that. I also feel bad for the struggling prostitute she stole that from.
She confirmed that the divorce will soon be final, but no mention if Michael bought her that damned house yet. Andy didn’t ask this for some reason. So I’m assuming the answer is no.
She’s probably still in the apartment with him, and Michael has finally come clean, that he ain’t buyin her no 2 million dollar house. She wants to divorce him, then she doesn’t get any of the perks. Can’t have it both ways girlfriend. Pretty sure she’s raking in the monthly cash from having his children.
They talk about the agenda. Who goes to Mexico and does cultural things? Ashley stop this act. We know you don’t have a cultural bone in your body. Go to Europe for that.
You go to Mexico to lie on the beach, drink margs and chill out and relax. Just stop with the pretend interest in culture. I don’t buy that anymore than I buy you loved Michael l Darby, and didn’t marry him purely for monetary reasons, and wasn’t planning this ‘8 year ditch’ all along. She needs to stop thinking all viewers are stupid.
Mia and Jacqueline get into an argument in first class apparently. And yes, first class peeps are not supposed to be arguing!! Rich people don’t argue! They are dignified, and should sit there sippin their free champagne. (do they get champagne, or is that just in movies?)
This argument sounds like her animosity from what Mia was telling Gordon earlier, about expecting Mia to deal with who’s minding the kids, when she goes away.
She explains that HER NANNY, Jacqueline’s sister, (and can she stop saying HER NANNY? Does this woman have a name? It reminds me of that movie, The Nanny Diaries with Scarlett Johansson, where the woman she worked for, literally called her ‘nanny’ instead of her name) is looking for Jacqueline’s kids. Mia points out, those are HER kids, so why is she getting asked? I have to admit that sounds strange, and isn’t reflecting Jacqueline in the best light as a mother. If the person who is to be responsible for her kids while she’s off on a free trip to Mexico, doesn’t know their whereabouts, that’s kind of bad.
How old are they, I’m wondering? I honestly didn’t even know she had kids. I don’t thinks she’s even said anything on the show. Her answer “it takes a village” suggests an excuse, because she didn’t handle her mom responsibilities before she hopped onto First class. How can you get on a plane to a whole ass different country before you had your child care squared away? Maybe there is more to this story.
Mia said that Jacqueline gets a dig in that Mia wouldn’t know anything about that ‘it takes a village.’ I think she was referring to the fact that she does not have to worry about obtaining child care for her kids, as she has Gordon and can afford a nanny? Maybe? I’m just guessing. Mia took it as a dig on her childhood and parental situation.
Jacqueline’s side is that Mia felt she didn’t communicate with her sister about what was going on. Which kind of sounds accurate if the woman didn’t even know where they were. I’m assuming they’re old enough to be at home by themselves. Jacqueline is 37, so could have teenagers, pre-teens, toddlers, or grade school kids, we don’t know. I’ll keep digging. She tells Robyn “Jacqueline doesn’t have many friends, this is why.” Why? Because she makes everyone take care of her kids for her?
I found a photo of Jacqueline posing with her ex and her daughters. One looks to be around 12 and the younger around 5. Looks like her Instagram shows them at these approximate ages, so that must have been accurate.
Jacqueline continues to sit awkwardly along the wall by herself, wearing her obedience surgical mask. (or she’s getting ready to perform a surgery at the airport) No one else is masked. Enough with these mouth diapers already. My. God.
Ashley bought everyone vibrators, she is a big advocate of them. She thinks the ladies all need them. Well it couldn’t hurt.
Jacqueline looks really off, and totally looks like she feels like an outsider, as they continue on their journey to the hotel, as Mia is chatting away but not speaking to Jacqueline. Which makes sense for Jacqueline to be feeling alone, because Mia is really her only friend in the group. So this is pretty mean girl of Mia actually to not have tried to smooth t hings over with her at the airport, instead of letting her sit there by herself while she continued to kick her while she was down, to the others and called her a bad mom. But, it’s Housewives. She’s coming off as a shitty person though. Which we know they don’t really look at that as a concern.
They finally start communicating (sort of – through the others) when they sit down for food and beverages, and Jacqueline calls her controlling. Mia is a one table saying Jacqueline does this and that wrong, while
Jacqueline is at a nearby table within earshot bitching about Mia. Then of course the others are chiming in. So you know this is not constructive nor productive.
Jacqueline says “she has tension, and needs more dick.” We’ve already seen how this is a sensitive subject, because of some sort of shady shenanigans in their sex lives, involving Gordon, it seems.
Mia: “you wanna go there, you’re feeling yourself too much, back down.”
Jacqueline: “No you back down.”
We’re getting really far here.
Mia: “Keep your legs closed to married men, bitch.” I feel like she was dying to say that.
Jacqueline doesn’t seem to be disputing it. Not even the completely transparent “Whatever are you talking about?” with confused face.
Jacqueline is upset now – “I am done with you because you have sold yourself to the fucking devil, and I have fought for you my whole entire life.”
The ‘devil’ being Bravo, perhaps? Well certainly not the first time this has been done on the shows. NaHOmie from Southern Charm is the most recent one that comes to mind, that threw away a pre-show ten year friendship for the sake of Bravo fame and first chair. Mia seems to think this is funny. That’s frustrating.
Jacqueline tells her she would never sleep with her husband. Candiace wants Mia to talk to her in private. Wendy consoles Jacqueline. Which makes me proud and surprised. I didn’t know Wendy had a soul hor feelings. She’s probably just doing it because it’s taking the side against Mia.
I gotta say this confessional look of Wendy in the gold dress and blondish hair, and red lips, I didn’t like at first, but I guess it’s growing on me. Candiace and the little red riding hood look, not so much.
Anyway she points out that Mia has had a problem with a lot of people in the group. But Wendy kind of has too.
Mia refuses to console Jacqueline nor talk to her and even says “her kids are at my goddamned house right now eating MY food.”
Who the hell says that?? Eating HER FOOD? These are children. Let’s not do that. And with your $485,000 salary that you bragged about making all last season, surely you have some extra spaghettios lying around. Just stop. She needs so badly to appear ‘better than’ Jacqueline is really how this is beginning to look. So if you’re so desperate to do that, you must be insecure. Reminds me of someone. If you’ve been reading me, you should know who.
They decide to ‘table’ this argument, now being labeled as a ‘domestic issue’ and move to the beach to be whatevered by a shaman to remove the evil spirits etc etc. These type of rituals seem to be all the rage on Housewives now, right? Do we think it’s working at all? That’s a silly question. I’m with Candiace and Gizelle. Why can’t we just lie on the fucking beach and drink tequila?
This weird shit isn’t gonna help the gold digging ho, Ashley. Enough already. She’s pretending she’s all into it, since she pretends this is her ‘thing.’ When someone lies, is disingenuous, fake and phony, it’s hard to believe anything they say about anything. Because there is a large chance they’re lying. That’s where I’ve decided I’m at with my sister. She has lied to my face about something that even happened a few months before the official blow-out, therefore she has NO credibility with me whatsoever. If she told me the earth was round, I would probably start to question it. I saw her over the weekend and she tried to suck up to me. I wasn’t having it. I wasn’t rude, I wasn’t a bitch, I just wasn’t having her fake phony ass bullshit. She should feel guilty.
Ashley is also too shallow to be spiritual.
This ritual is now over. Candiace is consoling Jacqueline too. I’m glad the ladies are seeing what a bitch Mia is being, and not letting Jacqueline fend for herself here. She’s still crying and sad.
Robyn loses her little novelty veil when she puts it on her head, and walks onto the windy balcony.
Who woulda thunk it would blow away?
From what I’m seeing online, it looks like they just applied for their marriage license in August 2022, so sounds like the ‘before July’ deadline they had set in the earlier scene did not happen. They really are pretty disorganized. And even a small intimate affair like they want to do, takes some pre-planning and organization. Robyn is being lazy, and it seems like doesn’t want to marry him that much.
Who thinks they should just resign themselves to being a divorced couple that are on friendly terms. Wouldn’t you rather have that situation, than to be divorced TWICE from the same dude??
So it’s evening, and you know what that means? They’re all dressed and out for their arguing- not- dinner gathering. Gizelle shares that she’s seeing a dude that she’s known for 30 years. Why does she go for these dudes that she already knows? A friend of 30 years, her ex-husband? Please girl, go find someone fresh and new, not someone you’ve already tossed aside. The has-beens are not working out, because there was probably very good reasoning as to why they were tossed aside previously. And dude, MEN DON’T CHANGE.
Charrisse enters the non-dinner gathering and already you can see Karen shutting down and feeling awkward. If I was on this show, I would definitely eat before the ‘dinners.’
What power does she have over Karen? It really is entertaining. She sits across from her. Looks like that seat was saved just for Charrisse, for this purpose.
They ask Ashley about Michael, and she pretends like she’s considering not divorcing him, and pretending she has a soul, because they had some hand touching moment. Nice try.
Wendy’s really quiet. I like post-surgery Wendy. I really am forgetting if Ashley and Wendy don’t get along or not. They have a fake interaction, since they’re sitting beside each other, where Ashley noticed her tattoo and asked her how she’s feeling. Did you guys see her mom is all tatted up?
Wonder if Wendy will give in and give her some new titties.
Candiace enters with Jacqueline, and is wearing one of those body suit outfits that are all the rage and I think they’re weird. Jacqueline looks like she’s still been crying.
So is it safe to assume Jacqueline and Mia won’t be showering together on this trip?
Karen and Charrisse start arguing over the video that Charrisse posted when she was dancing or whatever, and wonders why she just didn’t send it to her and they could have had a laugh. Charrisse also claims she wasn’t upset about being left out of her comedy thing. Which of course she was.
They go back and forth over who wants to be who’s friends and who is saying what to whom. Then rehash who didn’t reach out to who during troubling times such as divorce, and the passing of parents. Karen claims all that she had to offer Charrisse when her mom died was a lame text because her mother had also died.
Karen is getting all excited and yells at her to keep her mother’s name ‘out her mouth.’ Which is weird because all she did was let her know she was there for her when her mom passed away and attended the service. Karen doesn’t think that was coming from a good place, and did it for appearances I guess? So that was the infamous ‘trigger.’ Well it escalates like a typical Housewife ‘dinner’ fight, and it does seem like there’s more to it than what they were discussing.
Actually I do think the other ladies got to eat a little. So that’s good. Who knows what happens when the cameras go down. Maybe they sit there, order their food, and carry on.
