Karen is hosting a pickle ball event. Can’t wait to see how terrible this will be. Nneka is excited to be included. Neither one of them know what it is. I feel like you have to have been living in a cave for the past few years, to have not any idea what it is. It’s looks like ping-pong tennis to me.
Nneka recounts this situation, as they flash a scene of her talking to her husband’s cousin about this fucking fit Wendy’s sister and mother are having over Nneka speaking of Wendy. She didn’t say anything disparaging about her, she just referenced knowing her, or something like that. According to Nneka.
Now this could be all fabricated, that’s not really a stretch, let’s be ‘real.’ Or it could really be Wendy, whom I believe to be very insecure, being threatened and pissed off by another successful, beautiful, professional Nigerian woman. Her education and supposed intelligence is her schtick. She uses it in every single altercation, or to just belittle the others. Now there’s someone giving her a run for her money.
And I really doubt that she’s actually ‘Ashley’s friend.’ This does not seem like someone that Ashley would be friends with. I believe that dingdong Deborah was really her friend, if ya get my drift. This friendship seems to be lab created. Whatevs, like I always say, we just roll with it.
Her husband knows Eddie from college, just to add another layer of weirdness to this. Here’s a twist though: You don’t hear much about Facebook anymore, it’s all about the Insta, and sometimes Twitter/X, but FaceBook’s getting a big old shout-out in this episode.
Eddie and Nneka’s husband had been FB friends, followers of each other, whatever the hell, and shortly after these alleged threatening phone calls and drama with Nneka, Eddie unfollowed him.
The FaceBook thing isn’t the point as much as, just why? Like, how stupid??
I don’t know who the woman is in his Profile pic, but it looks nothing like Wendy. I agree with Nneka, that Wendy wears the pants. I’m sure she made Eddie unfollow him. Or just did it herself. She has him by the balls since she inappropriate online communication a few years back. Maybe he’s still doing it.

Besties Robyn and Gizelle meet for some cocktails and snackies. Gizelle gets a little fresh with the 28 year old server. She seems to have eyes for the younger dudes now that she has this 36 year old, she’s seeing. Not a boyfriend though.
Gizelle orders a double straight tequila. She’s not messing around. Who needs a silly drink mix?? Waste of time, and unnecessary calories.
She’s looking kind of – refreshed – and not as cranky as she usually is. Wonder why.
They discuss a heated convo between Gizelle and Juan, off camera, where Gizelle felt like he was being a little ‘Juan’ with her. Robyn blames the fact that he talks loud due to his hearing being bad and that’s why she may have felt that he was ‘yelling’ at her.
Robyn always has an excuse. It really sucks to always have to make excuses for your partner’s humiliating and immature behavior.
He assured Gizelle, loudly, several times, that HE DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN!!!
Okay Bill.
Wonder if he was touching his face and head the whole time? As he DIDN’T yell, just talks loud.
Robyn fills her in on the Nneka vs Wendy and clan convo, the shrine, and the hexing voodoo shit, even though she was supposed to keep it on the down low. But we know how that always goes. Pretty sure Nneka wanted her to tell everyone.

Candiace complains to her mom about the money she has to put it out in order to tour. So I’m assuming she’s making no profit as far as ticket sales. Her mom subtly shades Chris and asks what he’s doing right now for work, and if he’s making money.
Candiace explains that she made him quit managing at the W because of the hours, which is weird since she’s now ‘touring’ and isn’t home for weeks on end anyway. You would think that you would be happy that your husband has a steady job.
They discuss the Robyn/Juan/Gizelle situation. “Adults don’t lie???” Yes, Candy girl, so young so naive, they do lie. I just had a SIXTY year old, SIXTY YEARS ON THIS EARTH, (unfortunately) LIE directly to my face, several times. Loser.

Pickle Ball day, and wondering if anyone even knows how to play. Karen is over estimating her ability to pull off a tight cropped work-out look. Did she NOT look in the mirror before she left her rental? Don’t mean to be a dick, but it’s not flattering. She and Ray are cute in their matching outfits though.
Karen sounds like a Karen when she shades Gizelle’s new guy, because he’s ‘not around.’ Karen, just shut up. Jealously looks almost as bad on you as this horrific lime green get-up.
A married woman that had been getting her freak on in bar bathrooms, with dudes not her husband, maybe should NOT judge. She reminds me of someone I know.
Mia and Gordon are cute together. I noticed that they arrived separately though. Maybe they were living separate at this time. As we know, sadly she ditched him since he lost the business that he had ownership in, which I think was due to combo of her behavior on the show, and inappropriate usage of funds. Sounds similar to the Erika Girardi situation where she literally bled him dry, then ditched him when it was somehow gone. Wonder where it all went?? Hmmm. Pretty sure Gordon didn’t want to rent a 10,000 month mansion, and put 60g of renos into it.
These wardrobe choices to play pickle ball, I don’t even know what to say. Ashley who usually sports her natural hair, decides to wear a big old poofy wig to play a game. Then she sticks her butthole in the air towards the dude on the other team like a cat in heat for chrissakes. I mean Ashley, dignity, a little bit, please. You’re a mom. Make an effort to not look like a trollop in front of a million people. It’s bad enough to look like a skanky trollop in front of a handful of people. Also, what happened to her bunions?
Karen sets up the teams with all of the foes on the same teams. And there seems to be more than normal.
Nneka arrives and greets Wendy, and she immediately has a Joker-style fake smile plastered on her face, which soon gets replaced by blinking rapidly, twitching and making weird faces. It’s kind of funny. Nneka seems to be enjoying it. I’m enjoying it.
So the very controversial couple, Robyn and Juan (I knew someone was missing) arrive. Does Juan like, ever smile? It’s why I find him always so sketchy looking. I think he thinks this miserable pissed off face makes him look like a tough guy.
I don’t mean to sound like total Fashion Police, but I thought it couldn’t get any worse that Karen’s outfit, then Robyn arrives in a diaper and leotard. Is this what you wear to participate in a sporting event? Was she confused? Is this what she needs to do to keep Juan interested?
Is anyone actually playing this game, or are we just prancing around in our hooker outfits? Actually never mind. It was better when they were prancing around. The ball is served and they did that thing that you see at Little League games where everyone stood there and looked at the ball.
Doesn’t really matter, we get down to the real reason for the gathering anyway. Ashley starts talking about the Nneka/Wendy thing and again, admits to mistakenly recapping her convo with Nneka incorrectly. Or lying.
Nneka tells Wendy about this infamous phone call from her crazy ass mom, as Wendy pretends to look confused, and knows nothing about it. They show Eddie’s face quickly, and yeah, he knows.
Wendy takes advantage of Nneka accidentally stating that Wendy made the call to the cousin, when it was her sister that made the call. So Wendy uses that as an excuse to debunk the whole conversation and her point. That sounds like a familiar mind game. Sounds like someone who knows that they’re wrong, so they’re desperate to switch the spotlight back on you, and try to make you feel stupid and confused. Hmm, I don’t know ANYONE who does that! Let me think. I don’t want to say his name, he might call the cops.
She keeps talking over Nneka as she’s trying to make the correction. Also sounds familiar. Nneka is not having it. Wendy seems to forget she’s on an even playing ground here. This ain’t Mia.
Wendy tells her she’s a ‘hater’ then proceeds to do a bizarre runway walk simulation, as if Nneka is jealous of her fake-ass face, her fake-ass titties and fake-ass ass??? No Wendy, just no. You basically bought your whole entire body head to toe. Sit the fuck down, ‘professor’ – Doctor of Political Robotic Bullshit!
“It’s a flop! It’s a flop! It’s a flop!” she repeats, and flings her wig and continues to talk over her. Okay someone here sounds like they’re completely off, and it’s not Nneka. When someone keeps interrupting you pretending to ‘misunderstand’ what does that mean?? They’re a BULLSHITTER AND A LIARRRRRRR!!!
I read an article that referred to Wendy as a ‘former professor.’ So assuming Johns Hopkins relieved her of her duties, which explains this very extra bizarre behavior she’s exuding right now. She’s free to pull out the really crazy! Honestly, with her erratic behavior on the show, I’ve wondered how she’s continued in that profession, where it’s a necessity that you are respected by your students and peers. I would think you would have to conduct yourself in a certain type of manner, even in your off-duty life. You’re held to a certain standard of living, due to your profession.
Candiace and Wendy are buds so Candiace defends her by saying she’s not responsible for what her mom and sister did. True, but Wendy claims none of it’s even true, Candiace, so maybe you should sit this one out, and let Wendy defend herself.
Wendy then brings up the convo between Nneka and Ashley that Ashley already admitted she lied about, which is irrelevant at this point. I’m kind of disappointed Four Degrees wasn’t more prepared, that she has to resort to this.
Wendy again plays the religion card, that we’ve heard not one word about in four years, since she was introduced. Now suddenly she wants to rehash shit with Mia, to change the subject, and leave the table and the conversation. This woman needs to go see an actual doctor, of psychiatry.
Wendy is hyper focused on Nneka calling her a bitch when she merely said “bitch, let me talk!” when she kept getting cut off. She now randomly brings up the last season beverage throw. Wendy, we’ve moved on. Stop hiding from Nneka. What a dipshit. Where did she get these ‘degrees?’ From Amazon??
This whole scene is bogus. Nneka tries to explain to Candiace what’s really going on since Zen Wen was screaming, and showing her body to everyone, (like that’s relevant) and wouldn’t let her finish.
As there’s voodoo and shrine talk, one of the foil heated food trays falls on the floor. Wendy randomly starts shimmying. Is this woman okay?? Is Eddie stepping out again? Is that what’s going on?
So it wasn’t an evil spell that caused the tray to fall, it was Juan. Well actually…
He’s apologetic. He wants to hug her.
Wendy continues with the rhetoric of how nice she was to Nneka upon ‘meeting’ her at Ashley’s, even though they’d already met. Nice upstanding people don’t have to keep repeating they’re nice upstanding people.
She brings out the “mother-fucking bazooka” again, because that’s classy, Professor, or former professor, or whatever. Candiace looks disturbed and shocked at that comment. Why is she surprised? Has she not met Wendy? What I’ve definitely noticed about her over the years, is that when she tries really hard to appear completely unbothered, she acts really strange, and bothered. This is no different.
God worked OT on her, and clocked out on Nneka’s ass, she announces.
No Wendy, the plastic surgeons worked overtime on YOUR ass, QUITE LITERALLY, to give you one. I think we should leave God out of this one.
Candiace is again, like whatta fuck? I wouldn’t be surprised if she ditches Wendy by the end of the season.
She continues to sway, sashay and act absolutely fucking bizarre, like everyone is jealous of her. Candiace makes an excuse, and walks away from her, and I don’t even think she noticed.
Nneka shares with Mia, the FaceBook unfollow, mainly to underscore the fact that her claims have merit. Eddie gets asked if he knows Nneka’s husband, and he denies it.
Wendy eggs on Eddie, and claims he’s ‘activated.’ Doesn’t really look activated Wendy, he’s actually very calm, and looks a little frightened and afraid to speak, but whatever. If you say it, it must be true. For some reason he calls for Juan, as if Juan wants involved in this. He hates this shit.
Ikenna confronts him, and asks what was up with him unfollowing him. Eddie pretends to be confused, and insists he doesn’t know him, and doesn’t remember him from school.
“You don’t know me, bro?” Eddie looks scared, frankly, as Wendy gives him a death stare that be better lie for her. I almost feel bad for him.
This reminds me of the argument between he Salt Lake ladies (the ladies) in the first season, when Lisa pretended she didn’t remember Heather from college. But then proceeded to claim she was a ‘good time girl.’ Which was it? She wanted to pretend to not know her to insinuate she wasn’t popular or memorable. It’s quite grown-up.
Nneka makes a comparison between Eddie and the guy from Get Out, and that he’s looking for freedom. She suggests a sequel to free poor Eddie. That was kind of funny. She seems to have some wit and a good sense of humor, that Wendy definitely lacks.
Wendy ridicules Nneka for arguing over FaceBook. Nneka calls her mom a witch.
All kidding aside, Eddie does look really uncomfortable.
That was weird.
Eddie, blink twice if you’re not okay.
