Well, everyone, we can finally put a fork in this season; it’s done. It’s the final reunion RHOD recap, and I could not be happier to see this season end.
No More Clucking Around
Not even one minute in, and we are talking about chicken feet. If I had to drink every time they said the words “chicken feet,” I’d be passed out before this show ended. Actually, that might be a good plan. This chicken feet thing is such a fucking ridiculous storyline. Kam, c’mon you don’t have to eat anything you don’t want to. I wouldn’t eat a chicken foot like ever. Oh, and Tiffany is selling a white t-shirt with chicken feet on it for $35 is absurd. Now Tiffany is accusing Kam of “white-splaining.” It’s called a reunion, bitch. She even put it on the internet as a “white-splaining” meme.
Apparently, Stephanie said she would rather lick someone’s asshole than eat a chicken foot. We know you’re a freak, Steph. Okay, NOW Tiffany is starting to make sense. She says that Kam was “white-splaining” when she said something about other cultures (like the southern US, btw) eat chicken feet. She said that Tiffany was stereotyping her whole country over chicken feet. Not that she didn’t eat the nasty chicken foot. Didn’t Tiffany also force-feed the women crickets at her pizza party as a joke? Anyway, Kam just needs to apologize to Tiffany and to China so we can move the fuck on. Instead, Tiffany’s white-splaining meme was removed by Twitter. Tiffany says Twitter didn’t remove it. And that is technically true. When Twitter finds a post offensive, they lock you out until you pull it down.
Tiffany’s Terrible Pizza Party
Brandi tries to say she was in her first trimester and did not know (cough BULLSHIT cough), so that may have had something to do with why she threw up. Kam says it is a misdemeanor criminal offense to tamper with someone’s food, and she has receipts. Brandi, the lying liar who lies, says she didn’t really mind the prank. Yeah right! Then why did she freak out and run to the bathroom to puke then? PA -LEASE
Stephanie, per usual, is the voice of reason on this reunion. Andy asks Kam if she thought Tiffany had a worst first season than she did. She said because she had a bad first season, she reached out to Tiffany multiple times to check on her. Tiffany blankly is staring at Kam. She remembers differently. Kam offers to read her the text messages. She has receipts. D’andra wishes Kam would stop with her receipts. But you cant stop the pink detective, and Andy wants to see them. He reads very nice texts to her. And Tiffany’s replies. Kam says Tiffany cyberbullied her after the show aired. Then they awkwardly hug it out.
Time For D’Andra’s Weird Package
Why do people on this show proclaim to be Christian think that seeing a Shaman/hairdresser is anti-Christian and yet can’t list the ten commandments? I still don’t understand the whole thing with D’Andra and the will. Andy asks Brandi how she can think that ghosts talks to her but that a Shaman/hairdresser isn’t Christian. Because she is an idiot, Andy. Because she is an IDIOT.
We get a lamenting history of why D’Andra changed her last to the man who raised her since she was six. Kam stands up for D’Andra. Apparently, she was at the funeral for D’Andra’s father, who raised her. D’Andra spoke at the funeral. I think this is a bit too real for this sort of show about drunk party moms. D’Andra admits she feels terrible for the way she spoke to her mother at Tiffany’s party.
Brandi’s Lies
Now on to Brandi. Brandi says that YEARS AGO, her doctor told her she was premenopausal. She was 41 when she got pregnant. And I doubt she went without a period for YEARS. Plus, everyone with a period is premenopausal. Might she have wanted to learn the term perimenopausal before the reunion? I really can’t with this one. I can’t tell if she’s coming off painfully dumb or as a big liar. I don’t buy a word she says.
Then they talk about how her mother-in-law was killed in an accident with Brinkley in the car. It’s intense and horrifying. Their vehicle was hit by an 18-wheeler, and the truck dragged them, and the car flipped. Then the truck crashed on top of them and completely smashed the vehicle. The mother-in-law died on impact. Brinkley has some broken bones and scratches, and they have no idea how she survived. Wow. That’s just heartbreaking. Everyone is crying.
Brandi’s Cheating Husband
I hope it’s just the editing making Andy look like a relentless prick, but then he says, “If that wasn’t enough, a video has been circulating about your husband being in a club with another woman.” Brandi says the video was from 2018. It happened in Las Vegas at a bachelor and bachelorette party for her sister and her brother-in-law before their wedding. She apparently was not aware that happened at the time. Everyone is crying. This is the most unmerciful reunion on one person ever. And it’s not even coming from bullshit arguments over chicken feet. These are genuine issues all happening to Brandi all at once.
With his usual grace and compassion, Andy asks Brandi, who is crying her eyes out, what her thoughts are about staying with him. She said this year has been her darkest hour, and he has been by her side for all of it. She says she would be a piece of shit if she wasn’t there for him. Like her or not, it’s hard not to feel for what Brandi has gone through this season. She says a fan sent the video to her daughter’s private IG, and she saw it. WOW. Stephanie is really angry with Bryan. She sent a therapist to Brandi’s house because she was worried Brandi would take her own life. The therapist found in in a pitch-black nursery holding her baby and crying.
Who Does This To A Child?
Andy asks, “Who would do this to a child?” Brandi says, “I think we all know.” Andy says, ” I don’t know that I know.” It was LeeAnne Locken, according to the ladies. D’Andra says it first. Then Stephanie says she feels like it was very intentional. It happened on a Tuesday, the day the show comes out.
I really hope LeeAnne didn’t do this, but let’s be honest, she’s nuts. Kam says she can’t believe LeeAnne would ever do something like this. But maybe she told someone, and they put it out? D’Andra says LeeAnne is very angry because Brandi is still on the show for her racist stuff, and she is not allowed to be on the show. Speaking of that video Brandi made, Andy, who is entirely unsympathetic, says that she pulled out a chair for LeeAnne to sit in for her racism. Should a chair be pulled out for her? I mean, is Brandi a liar and a hypocrite? Absolutely! Did she make a video that was offensive and foolish? Certainly. But LeeAnne got fired for calling Kary a “chirpy Mexican.” We can’t just cancel all of these women. Kam has said some awful things about Tiffany. But they are working through it.
Jesus, Andy Will Not Let Up On Brandi
Wouldn’t the housewives be a great platform to highlight unifying people? If we can’t unify six women, how do we unify the country? Brandi says if she had been there, she would have pulled out her own chair, so yes. Tiffany defends Brandi and says she never thought Brandi put that out to hurt anyone. She made a mistake and recognized it, and apologized for it over and over again. Brandi’s baby is crying in the hotel room because she is hungry.
Andy is relentless with this woman. This is his next question, “Brandi, I’m sorry that you were suicidal over being canceled, but you spent the entire season playing the victim and making everyone feel sorry for you instead of making Tiffany feel welcome and accepted. Do you still think that was the best way to handle this?” It might have been a decent question if Brandi had not apologized a thousand times, had a baby while drinking like a fish, lost her mother in law in a horrific accident where her daughter could have died and was instead severely injured and had videos resurfacing of her husband cheating on her that was shared with the same child. WHEN IS IT ENOUGH FOR YOUR ANDY COHEN?
Brandi says that she went out of her way to be welcoming to Tiffany. She took her to the hospital when she got sick on her birthday. Brandi thinks she was extremely welcoming. Tiffany, on the other hand, does not. Andy says he doesn’t understand why Brandi kept saying she couldn’t be herself around Tiffany. It seemed like a lot she was dumping on Tiffany’s lap. At this point, I don’t know how much more Brandi can take. I hope that Brandi has quit the show like the rumors say because this is not healthy for her.
Wow, D’Andra and Kary (yes, she is actually at this reunion, albeit virtually) seem to be coming for Brandi. Why is no one coming for Kary? I mean, she was the biggest pain in the ass this season. D’Andra makes a good point that they should have all set down with Tiffany for an open conversation rather than just expecting her to tell them what was offensive. Tiffany seems disgusted by Brandi. But she keeps on defending the video as not deliberately harmful.
Regrets? They Had A Few
Anyway, for the last round of torture, Andy wants them all to say something they would have done differently and something they did they wish they had not. Because he can not stop the terrorism.
Kary goes first. She has a long list of things she wishes she had not done. She wishes she had been more open about what she was going through and hopes everyone sees her heart and forgives her.
Brandi’s regret is going into JRs bedroom? Really this whole season, okay? She wishes she would have taken a pregnancy test. Ya think?
D’Andra regrets speaking to her mother the way she did. And she wishes because she brought Tiffany on, she would have instigated conversations they didn’t have with the cast.
Stephanie apologizes for her comments toward Tiffany about showing off her closet and all of her possessions. She wishes she would have supported Tiffany more. Tiffany says she did feel alone. She wishes she had not put crickets in everyone’s food and being so hard with Kam about the chicken feet. Really? You have argued with her for two hours over not being able to force-feed Kam chicken feet. OMG, she’s bleeding from the nose! They broke Tiffany!
Kam says she wishes she had never offended her. It was not her intention. She’s crying again and apologizes. Kam says she wishes she would have asked her more questions so she could understand. She feels like an idiot that she didn’t. They end with pickle shots with an Asian toast! Wow, that was a LOT. I was kind of surprised how much Andy laid into Brandi, but I guess it makes for good TV.
