Yolanda Foster “Mohamed Hasn’t Talked To Lisa Vanderpump In 8 Months”; Married David For Love, Not Money
After tonight’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season finale, Yolanda Foster and Erika Jayne were guests on Watch What Happens Live. It was a little bit like the RHOBH finale – all about Yolanda! Erika was just there for moral support, apparently.
Yolanda just returned from Tahiti and says she should’ve just moved there because it was wonderful and she’s feeling “better and better every day.”
Erika and Yolanda are asked what did they think about Ken calling Lisa Rinna a stupid bitch and a wanker? Yolanda says “I’ve heard it before. He called me a bitch. I’ve seen it before and I wasn’t happy about it.”
Erika on her first reunion taping, “it was everything I was told it would be.”
After a montage of their best friendship moments, Erika says that she and Yolanda have been friends for 10 years and met through their husbands.
Andy plays a game – saying a name and asking Yolanda if she’s still fond of that person.
Lisa Rinna? “No.”
Lisa Vanderpump: “Not Really.”
Kyle Richards: “Medium.”
Eileen Davidson: “Yes.”
Kathryn Edwards: “Yes.”
Erika Girardi: “Yes.”
Ken Todd: “Yes, I don’t have a problem with him this season.”
First caller asks why Yolanda believes Lisa Rinna about who started the Munchausen controversy. “I think they’re both to blame, I don’t think it was one of the two.” She says they were both part of the conversation and then says Erika is probably better to answer that question because she was more a part of it than Yolanda. Erika chimes in and says how she understood it is that Lisa Rinna was encouraged by Lisa Vanderpump to bring it up.
The next caller asks what Yolanda has in the vault about Kyle. “They’re just experiences that we have together as women and I just feel very strongly that there are certain things that you just do not speak about on national TV and I never shared those and obviously I won’t share them with you either because that would defeat the purpose. I just think as women you hold certain things in your heart and you never expose those things.”
Why do they think Kyle is so loyal to Lisa Vanderpump? “I think Kyle growing up as the middle child I think she’s used to dealing with a lot of stuff and I think for business they are the two stars of the show that started the show and they wanna keep it going. And they have a certain loyalty to each other and I think they stick to that.” Note: Kyle Tweeted during the show to say that she is NOT the middle child. 
A viewer asks why Erika was judgemental of LVP right from the start and didn’t give her a chance? “I gave her a chance, but I know what I felt and I know what I saw.”
Does Yolanda think that Kathryn is drinking the Vanderpump Kool-Aid as Erika proclaimed tonight? “They seem to be very close and we’ve seen this consistently every season of Lisa bringing in somebody very close so maybe, yes. I mean, I haven’t spent much time with both of them because I wasn’t part of most of the shooting this season.” Erika shares her two cents, “I know they’re very close and I saw that friendship develop.”
A viewer asks at what point during the season’s filming did Yolanda know her marriage was ending? “I didn’t know until November 15th and we had already wrapped shooting and the show was done.” Is she in touch with David now? “Yeah, we are in touch a little bit here and there, yeah.”
The next caller for Yolanda (they’re basically all for Yolanda) asks if Mohamed is the reason that Lisa Vanderpump dislikes her. “I don’t think she dislikes me, I just think that we never had an intimate friendship like girlfriends should have and I think the reason is that her friendship and loyalty was with Mohamed. So our friendship has always been very superficial but I don’t think she hates me.”
Andy says he got the feeling from LVP that she and Yolanda were truly friends. Yolanda says “It was a Hollywood friendship.” Andy mentions that Lisa’s friendship with Mohamed has suffered because of the show. Yolanda says “they haven’t spoken for eight months, since she made the statement that Mohamed said the children aren’t sick. He hasn’t spoken to her since.”
A fan asks Yolanda and Erika why Lisa Vanderpump is “allergic” to apologizing. Yolanda says she thinks it’s just part of her personality. She thinks if it was easier for Lisa to do, she would do it.
Yolanda says she did sign a prenup and Andy asks if she regrets the deal she made back then. She says not at all because she married for love, not money.
The poll question tonight: Who was the biggest shit stirrer this season. Lisa Rinna won with 51% of the votes.

Brandi Redmond Talks RHOD & LeeAnne Locken; Calls Out LeeAnne For Not Buying Anything At The Trunk Show
Real Housewives of Dallas premiered last night. Right out of the gate, there is major drama between Brandi Redmond and LeeAnne Locken. Brandi took to her blog to share her thoughts on LeeAnne, as well as, her excitement over being cast on the show.
Brandi is just a wee bit excited to be a Real Housewife, “Here we go… RHOD! First, I just want to start by saying this is surreal being a part of the Real Housewives franchise. It’s literally like, somebody pinch me please, so honored and excited.” In case you somehow managed not to hear, Brandi used to be a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, an experience she believes will help her navigate the Real Housewives franchise.
CLICK CONTINUE READING FOR MORE!
“The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders was a dream of mine since I was a little girl. These dreams became my reality and I cheered for America’s Team for five years and traveled the world. Throughout my experience I learned to balance school, relationships, good health, work, and the importance of giving back to our community. The experience is a full time commitment but not a full time job. We rehearsed almost every night of the week leading up to and during football season. People often ask me what I miss most, and I do miss performing, my teammates, and bringing smiles to so many precious faces from children, to our military, to nursing homes, and of course the fans. The star spangled uniform is iconic and truly the best,” boasts Brandi.
Moving on to what we really want to know more about, Brandi dishes, “OK, so you definitely hear me mention that people are afraid of LeeAnne Locken. She has been known to make people feel threatened or uncomfortable through gossip and knowledge of others. She is loud and has even told me that when she walks in any room she owns the room, which in my opinion is a bully tactic to not mess with her. So, yes, I said it, I meant it, and stand by it. A lot of people know LeeAnne because she attends up to 3 events in 1 night. Her reputation is that she gets around…for the free drinks and appetizers.”
RELATED: Brandi Redmond and Shep Rose on Watch What Happens Live
Brandi defends Plano, “LeeAnne is entitled to an opinion of me, however, to reference Plano is a low blow and clearly disrespectful. Plano is ranked the third hardest working city in America by Money Magazine, in the top 100 in the USA for families to settle, and West Plano (where I reside) is voted number 1 in the DFW area to raise a family. So what does Locken know about Plano other than that I live there? Girl, bye! For anyone that doesn’t know, Plano is amazing and I love it.”
“As far as the trunk show is concerned,” shares Brandi, “it was a intimate affair and I made a nice purchase while enjoying my time with friends and learning more about the cause. Pretty sure, the person that said it was a little Plano did not make a purchase! Again: Girl, bye!”
Brandi explains why she confronted LeeAnne, and how it didn’t exactly go as planned, “I was feeling LeeAnne and her bully tactics trying to make me feel threatened and uneasy. Clear as day and I just thought I had to say something, because she truly is a hurt individual that does the things she does for attention and to own the room. I knew going into the conversation that I wanted to approach her with good intentions, but she turned the entire situation around. She brought up charity and her involvement, but she didn’t understand what I was trying to say. She took it as an attack and used the word pathetic. I never said she was pathetic, but I do think she needs help, because of the way she approaches people. She is always defensive and in your face.”
“Honestly, it feels as if you’re being attacked by her presence,” admits Brandi.

Karen Huger Defends Her Title As Grand Dame Of Potomac! Asks, “Who Is Katie?”
She may be married to the Black Bill Gates, but Karen Huger is the biggest celebrity in her own mind in her relationship – and on The Real Housewives of Potomac, apparently! In her reunion blog, Karen calls out Katie Rost for being “jealous” of Karen’s status within the group. Oh, Karen of The Farm. While she may be slightly delusional and a little (or a lot) extra at times, I have to admit The Grand Dame is always highly entertaining!
Karen goes in on Katie first: “Katie, Katie Katie…does not have the authority to say who or who is not the Grand Dame. For that matter, who is Katie? I’m not quite sure if Katie is an authority on anything other than her mindless rants. We all have opinions and Katie is entitled to hers and we’ve all seen how quite delusional they can be from time to time.”
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
Claiming she has no idea where the title of “Grand Dame” came from, Karen still says she’ll happily take it. And Katie can keep her hands off! “My title was bestowed upon me long before Katie came into the picture and it’s never been questioned and she can’t have it! Can we say jealous much Katie? My advice to Katie would be to stay in her ‘bubble of love’, she looks sooo pretty there. Katie’s focus would be better served focusing on the Rost Foundation.” Ooh! The shade! The shaaaaaaaade!
Karen also has no regrets about mocking Katie’s fiance, Andrew, for his lack of a digit! Especially after Andrew insulted Karen first. She defends in her blog, “Andrew calling me ‘old and haggard’, me pointing out his missing digit…both statements were insensitive, harmful and unnecessary comments; which at the end of the day thankfully brought smiles to many faces, including Andy and all my girls on the couch.”
Of her days slinging hash at Taco Bell and Burger King, Karen claims, “I am so proud to say I was the help. My first job was actually at Burger King. I was slamming burgers at the tender age of 16. I later worked for Taco Bell at the drive thru window.” (Before headsets were invented, according to Robyn Dixon!)
But does referring to herself as “the help” give Karen license to use the term on anyone else she deems fit? Apparently so. She continues, “While both jobs were short lived I learned that there’s nothing wrong with an honest day’s work at any station in life. Both Robyn and Gizelle [Bryant] could have spoken to me directly about this matter instead of waiting four months and until we were sitting on the couch with Andy to make their ‘bones’. Can we all say ‘lousy game plan’? This girl works, this girl was the help. In the art of war one should know ALL the facts before attacking, otherwise you look like dumb and dumber.”

#BrenchelBaby Has Arrived!
Right around the same time as Jeff and Jordan announced that they were now both married and pregnant with their first child, another infamous Big Brother 13 power couple was having the very first Big Brother baby!

On Friday April 8th, Rachel and Brendon welcomed their first child to the world. Their baby girl’s name is not yet public knowledge but is expected to be announced soon! Brenchel has shared their exciting news with fans on Twitter and Instagram.
According to Rachel and Brendon’s social media posts, the baby is happy and healthy while Brenchel is getting used to the daunting process of being brand new parents. They already say that they are sleep deprived and changing lots of diapers!
On top of this news, it’s been revealed that later this year, baby Brenchel will be getting a Big Brother baby playmate in Jeff and Jordan’s expected first child!
In the summer of 2010, Brendon Villegas and Rachel Reilly met and fell in love during Big Brother 12! After being seen as close the couple was nominated together the very first week. Fortunately, they were able to win competitions and stay together for five weeks, and even come back the following season where Rachel won the game! Six years later, they are parenting their first child together!
Many fans and alumni reached out on social media to congratulate Brendon and Rachel on the birth of their first child. Among the former houseguests to publicly congratulate the couple on Twitter were Big Brother 10 and 11’s Jesse Godderz, Big Brother 12’s Matt Hoffman, and Big Brother 13’s Shelly Moore. Of course, Rachel’s sister Elissa Reilly Slater from Big Brother 15 (who happens to be pregnant as well) also congratulated them as well as friend and Big Brother casting director Robyn Kass.
In the coming days we’re sure to learn of the #BrenchelBaby’s name and see plenty of pictures! Stay tuned to @BigBroAccess on Twitter as well as Rachel and Brendon’s social media for more baby details!

Robyn Dixon Explains Her Irritation At RHOP Reunion; Compares Katie Rost To A “Bratty Child”!
A whole new Robyn Dixon showed up at The Real Housewives of Potomac Reunion, Part 1 Sunday night! Departing from her usual chill style, Robyn took the opportunity on the reunion stage to confront her cast mates about their behavior this season. And now she’s taking to her blog to continue the “discussion!”
Robyn first calls out Karen Huger for dubbing Gizelle Bryant’s hairdresser as “the help” at Charrisse Jackson-Jordan’s crab boil. “Calling someone ‘the help’ and questioning why a person would bring ‘the help’ to a party is stuck up, elitist, and condescending. Karen’s comments implied that people in service positions are inferior and not worthy of attending the same party as her. I have news for Karen, she is not any better or more deserving than any other person simply because she’s married to the ‘black Bill Gates.'”

Robyn turns her attention to Ashley Darby next, who she still accuses of inappropriate humping behavior at their first meeting. “Throughout my 37 years of life, I have spent my fair share of time at nightclubs, bars, lounges, private parties, etc,” explains Robyn. “Not once had I ever been humped by a woman I had just met 15 minutes earlier. Ashley’s behavior was very unusual and an extreme invasion of personal space. If she thinks that is appropriate behavior and a great way to make a first impression, she has a lot to learn!”
As for Katie Rost, Robyn simply requests, “I’d like to press the mute button on Katie please.”
After rehashing her questionable (and somewhat confusing) relationship with ex-husband Juan, Robyn launches into her full frontal assault on Katie! She blogs, “I just learned that the only thing worse than trying to have a sensible conversation with a bratty child is trying to have a sensible conversation with an extremely bratty adult.I have never in my life been so frustrated when trying to have a conversation with another adult.”
RELATED: KATIE ROST SAYS GIZELLE BRYANT PICKS FIGHTS, THEN LIES ABOUT IT!
Robyn continues, “I wanted to address Katie’s comments directly and in a mature manner but instead of allowing me to talk, she continuously cut me off, mocked me, and resorted to name calling (‘dumb and dumber’). I don’t even allow my children to use the word ‘dumb,’ so to hear another mother call someone dumb was extremely disappointing and indicative of a very low maturity level.”
As for her Kenya Moore SECURITY!!!! moment, Robyn defends, “I called for security because, I hate to say it, I got extremely frustrated and completely out of character and felt myself wanting to get up out of my seat to walk across the room and muzzle Katie’s mouth. ‘Security, stop me please!!!'”

Teen Mom 2 Recap: No Access
Two nights of Teen Mom 2 in a row and last night’s episode was a big one! It’s more rainbows and sunshine for Chelsea Houska who gets a special surprise from Cole DeBoer. Things are looking bleak for Jenelle Evans, though, who gets unexpected news from her lawyer. Corey Simms and Miranda Simms welcome a new baby while Leah Messer struggles to prove herself to them. And Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin spend some time apart after suffering a major loss.
Cole finally pops the question! We don’t get to see it happen, but we see a few cute pictures and Aubree draws it out for her grandma. Here’s how it went down: Cole took Chelsea to his favorite spot in the woods where he had pictures of the two of them and Aubree hanging on surrounding trees. Aubree was with him so he asked her if it was okay to marry her mommy. He had already asked Chelsea’s parents for their permission and he designed the ring. We get it, Cole is disgustingly perfect.

Later, Adam Lind takes Aubree and Paislee to a bounce place, so he can enjoy daddy cellphone time. Adam got 50/50 custody of Paisley by settling out of court with Taylor Halbur. He doesn’t understand why Chelsea refuses to work thing out with him like Taylor did. Adam thinks Chelsea’s stuck in 2009 when Adam was a truly horrible person, but he’s turned his life around! “Life goes on, get over it!”
Meanwhile, Chelsea meets up with Randy Houska. Randy’s reaction to Chelsea’s ring: “Holy buckets!” Then he does the BEST impression of Cole asking for Chelsea’s hand in marriage, “Yeah, yeah, um, so I was calling you….” To which Randy had replied, “Good idea, Cole!” I hope we see more of Randy making fun of Cole this season!
Jenelle hasn’t seen Jace in a couple of weeks, but things are going well with David Eason. A couple of weeks without a physical altercation – must be true love. Jenelle leaves Kaiser in his crib to scream into darkness so she can hang out with David. “Night-night,” she taunts. David asks what her plans are for Kaiser’s custody. He thinks Nathan Griffith might still be in love with Jenelle because why else would he be pushing for custody of his child? “You’re not still talking to him?” David asks her. She assures him she’s not and changes the subject to her scholarly pursuits.
Jenelle’s planning on going to school to become a surgical technician. She thinks she can finish the program in a year and half and hopes to have Jace back within that time. David is sure she’ll get custody of Jace, which is pretty much the only thing a man needs to say to win Jenelle over. She asks him to move in since he’s been spending every night there anyway. David teases that she just wants him to do her dishes every day. Yeah, that, and take care of her kids.
Kaiser is in his pen again while Jenelle cuddles one of her dogs. The dog had recently been neutered so now he should stop peeing in the house. I imagine her house smells horrid and the dog pee is only part of it. Tomorrow is Jenelle’s court date for her charge of assault against Nathan’s girlfriend, Jessie. She doesn’t have to be in court, so she’s not going; her lawyer will handle it for her. If she went she would probably have an outburst and make things even worse for herself.
Jenelle informs David that she failed her background check for the surgical tech program. She’s not sure what the issue was, but if it was the pending assault charge, there’s nothing she can do but wait until the case is over. If she’s convicted, she won’t be able to sign up for the program for another 6 years.
Chances are she didn’t fail because of the pending charge, but rather the many prior convictions on her record, which she always seems to forget. If Jenelle can’t get a surgical tech job, she doesn’t know what she would do as a career. How about the reality show circuit? Couples Therapy is an obvious next step. She would rather work in the medical field, though, but questions who would accept her. “Not many people, probably,” David reckons.
Jenelle still really wants custody of Jace, but she’s dealing with the court case, he has already started school, and he’s happy where he is. According to David, Jace is much happier at Jenelle’s house. David, the resident custody expert, also believes that Nathan has no grounds to get custody of Kaiser because he has no license, no job, and no crib for Kaiser. No crib for Kaiser! Sounds like a blessing for that poor kid.
Nathan and Jessie get their own segment again. The two are hanging out with some friends, boasting that things have been awesome except for Nathan getting injured from “sports.” Nathan’s going to hire a lawyer because he hasn’t seen Kaiser in three and half weeks. Jessie’s prepared for her own battle against Jenelle tomorrow when she’ll testify in the assault case. She’s not worried about testifying, though, because there’s “evidence, proof in the truth.” And Jenelle’s priors.
The next day, Jenelle’s lawyer calls. The lawyer asks whether Jessie was ever in the house and Jenelle confirms she wasn’t. Perhaps the lawyer wasn’t aware of this fact previously because now, after the hearing, the lawyer informs Jenelle that she had no right to defense outside of the house.
The lawyer also had a long talk with Nathan and Jessie. Nathan was the most clear-headed she had seen him in years, but upset that he was not able to see Kaiser. She had advised Nathan to try to work on a custody agreement with Jenelle. Jenelle is taken aback and doesn’t understand why they were talking about Kaiser when the issue was the assault charge. The lawyer reasons that Jenelle is caught red-handed – she admitted to the assault and has no defense. Her best course is to use custody as a bargaining chip to have the assault charge dropped.
Wrongly assuming she has a reasonable client, the lawyer adds that Jessie is a good person and very sweet: “I deal with criminals all day long, bottom of the bottom. I know how to judge character and she’s not a bad person.” If that’s true, she must know how awful Jenelle is. Maybe that’s why she’s encouraging Nathan and Jenelle to work out a custody agreement – for Kaiser’s sake. Jenelle is fuming mad and hangs up on her lawyer. Of course, David is there to fan the flames: “It sounds like she’s trying to help Nathan! She’s not on your side!” Oh David, please shut the hell up.
Leah drops Addie off with Jeremy Calvert. When she pulls up to the drop-off spot, none of the kids are wearing seat belts. Leah and Jeremy chit-chat a little while swapping Addie. At least she’s getting along with one baby daddy.
Back at Leah’s house, we meet yet another young, innocent life she’s responsible for – a kitten! What is it with these girls and all the pets?! I love animals, but if you don’t have your life together, why complicate things more? Leah unloads her drama on a friend, telling her that the twins won’t see Addie at all unless she and Jeremy work something out on the weekend. “Did Corey think about that?” Did you, Leah, when you continued to make poor life choices, jeopardizing your girlses lives, and forced Corey’s hand?
The girls had a hard week away from Leah. Aleeah went into a screaming fit after her tumbling class wanting to go home with her mommy. But Miranda locked the car door and drove off. Not sure what else Miranda could have done, but Leah was beside herself. “Who is SHE?” Leah also divulges to her friend how she’s communicating the situation to the girls. When they asked why they can’t go home with mommy, daddy said it wasn’t his fault. Well Leah’s remark to the girls was, no, it IS their (Corey and Miranda) fault. So not only is she being petty and trying to turn her girls against their dad, she’s also bragging about it.
Later, Leah sees a picture of Corey and Miranda’s new baby, Remi, online. Never missing an opportunity to throw Corey under the bus, Leah ponders aloud why Corey didn’t call the twins to tell them the news. Leah shows the girls the pictures and they’re curious about their new sister. She explains that Remi is red because she was born two months early. Leah sees an opening: “I’ll reach out to your daddy and see if he needs any help with you guys. I’ll ask your daddy if he’ll let you guys stay with me so I can get you to school.” “What if he says no?” The girls wonder. “If he says no, there’s nothing I can do.” And they’ve been dragged in by Leah yet again.
It turns out Corey declined Leah’s offer. She calls her cousin Chastity to vent. She insists she’s happy for Corey and Miranda, but Corey hurt her feelings by declining her help with the girls. She believes he’s not letting her help because he wants control. This would be a reasonable theory if she had her s–t together.
Proving that two and half days is still too much to handle, Leah and the girls are running late to Ali’s choir practice, supposedly because it took so long to get Ali in her uniform. If it were Aleeah, I might buy this excuse, but Ali seems to be fairly compliant. Plus, Leah has a history of being the problem and blaming it on others. As they’re heading down the road, Leah starts hitting her steering wheel in kind of a weird is she mad or did her hand fall asleep kind of way, and yells s–t! She forgot Ali’s tie and has to turn around. Now they’re going to be late and Corey’s already there. She snaps at Ali demanding to know where the tie is, but Ali doesn’t know. Leah found the tie somewhere and yells at Ali, “The tie was in this, who had this?” “I didn’t!” cries Ali. “Are you kidding me right now? Why is my life so horrible? Like what the f-ck,” Leah bemoans before disappearing into the house.
Aleeah has gone back into the house, too, but now she’s running back out, kitten in hand. She trips and falls while bolting back to the car, but manages to hang onto the kitten the whole time. She dives into the car, throwing the kitten into the back seat. Aleeah may have a future as a running back! When Leah finally gets back in the car, she doesn’t know why the girls are cracking up and that Aleeah has a kitten hidden behind her back. She discovers the girls have brought the kitten along when they get to Ali’s choir practice and mercifully leaves the window down so it can breathe. Unfortunately, the windows weren’t open wide enough for the kitty to escape.
Javi’s being deployed in two weeks, so Kail is throwing Isaac’s birthday party now. Kail’s friend questions whether Jo Rivera is throwing another party and why Jo isn’t there. She doesn’t think Jo will throw a party for Isaac, which I don’t understand. Jo seems to do all the typical parent-child activities. I’m sure Kail just wants to make him look bad. She didn’t invite Jo to the party because Javi would have a problem with it. I guess she and Javi forgot who Isaac’s birthday is really about.
Later, Kail reveals she had a medical emergency and had to spend time in the hospital. Javi was not supportive and they got into a huge fight, so they’ve decided to take a couple of days apart, even though he’s leaving for six months in less than two weeks. Kail calls Sterling to let her know she’ll be coming to New Mexico with Lincoln while Javi goes to California and Isaac stays with Jo.
Kail arrives at Sterling’s place, which she may have had professionally decorated before the cameras showed up. Kail confesses that the tensions have been rising between her and Javi, not just from the deployment, but also because she had a miscarriage. They had planned the baby and were planning on announcing the pregnancy on their Christmas cards. Kail and Sterling break into tears. It’s heartbreaking. Kail went through a lot mentally and physically, but felt like she went through it alone. Sterling offers that Javi’s way of grieving may be to not talk about it.
When Kail and Javi meet back up at home, they talk about the miscarriage. Javi admits he was so emotionally invested in the baby that when Kail miscarried, he knew it wasn’t anyone’s fault, but needed someone to blame. He sincerely apologizes for taking it out on her and acknowledges that he wasn’t nice to her while she was going through it. It’s apparent that they’re both still hurting, but now they can grieve together.

Real Housewives Of Dallas Recap: Charity Begins At Home
Last night was the premiere of Real Housewives Of Dallas. Did you love it? I kinda loved it – it had all the right elements: one supremely delusional crazy mean girl, fun-loving weirdo besties, a gal with secrets up the wazoo in her closet, a plastic surgeon’s wife (and bizarre-seeming marriage). I’m here for this. Hand me a pair of spurs – lets prod these bitches!
In Dallas, the houses are huge, but the fashions and hair are Real Housewives Of Orange County circa 2008: satin, rhinestones, single-platform peeptoe Loubs. There is also a lot of frosted eyeshadow.
First we meet Brandi Redmond, who is unofficially the ‘star.’ Brandi, a redhead, is married to her JUNIOR HIGH sweetheart Brad (also a redhead), and they have two redheaded daughters who sit on the counter, one of whom wants to join the circus. Which makes her like the future LeeAnne Locken, former carny-child turned wannabe socialite.

Brandi is a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. Brad plans to be a multi-millionaire by 40 (doing what we’re not sure) – according to Brandi, this means Brad will probably die on a golf course and be buried in the hole. Brad travels a lot which leaves Brandi lots of time to swill “Jesus Juice” and make fart jokes with her BFF Stephanie Hollman.
Stephanie is married to Travis, who grew up rich and wished for a Stepford wife (Stephanie says he wants to be married to Betty Draper, who would care for 6 kids while simultaneously making martinis, but I think Stephanie meant Donna Reed, because Betty Draper would be ignoring the kids while chain smoking, spite-shopping, shooting birds in the backyard, and leaving Travis for a future senator with a bigger bank account.).
Instead of Stepford, Travis met Stephanie while drunk and the beer googles never came off. Stephanie grew up in an itty bitty town in Oklahoma, with deeply religious parents, who didn’t dance or drink. She rebelled by finding Jesus in the “juice” and love amid the toilet jokes. Her main skills appear to be disappointing Travis and farting on command.
Stephanie has two boys, who have inherited her love of fart jokes, and have a fascination with poop. One way Stephanie is Betty Draper is the whole not watching her kids things. She recounts a story of finding one of her sons flinging handfuls of dog poop into the pool. Which she finds hilarious. Stephanie is basically Brandi Glanville before Eddie left her and she went totally insane.
Stephanie and Travis live on the third hole of the Four Seasons golf course, so I’m wondering why the grounds crew wasn’t on poop patrol. Likely because they were avoiding other nefarious things Stephanie and Travis may be doing with the extra hole. Stephanie was probably emitting toxic farts from it while Brandi laughed until she peed herself, and because the only liquid these two consume appears to be wine, they possibly drank the pee since Jesus turned water into wine. This is Brandi’s philosophy, anyway.
Travis travels a lot for work and leaves Stephanie chores to complete to ‘earn her keep’. Brandi comes over to help program the new garage door openers. Too bad Stephanie can’t even open wine without smacking herself in the face. Maybe Jesus is trying to tell her the Devil is in the wine? But seriously – gotta get a Rabbit Automatic!
Sure enough, it took Brandi and Stephanie several attempts to open the ladder, followed by lots of jabbing aimlessly at the buttons, before giving up and deciding to play with her kids ride-on toy.
Moving on to LeeAnne. Oh LeeAnne. LeeAnne can be summed up as: self-important, delusional, and in need of help. “In need of help,” not to be confused with “charity, which LeeAnne does. LeeAnne’s entire life revolves around the Dallas charity circuit; she helps socialites arrange them because of her wealth of connections (her only wealth), and attends them pretending to be the host. LeeAnne is neither rich, nor married, and is vaguely intimidating in a desperate attempt to bury her carny roots. In short, LeeAnne wanted to get attention from the socialite crowd, so she made herself Dallas charity circuit’s ‘The Help’.
It’s unclear if LeeAnne actually has a job. The only thing she talks about is charities: attending them, how many she’s involved in, instructing others how to behave at them, letting everyone know how indispensable she is, pretending she’s the one raising money, planning her life around galas. Basically she should change her name to CharitLee. She should also remind herself that charity begins at home. Instead, LeeAnne is likely hoping all the “B as in billionaires” and “M as in Millionaires” will realize that she’s the charity that starts in their home so they should just cut her checks and possibly let her reside there as the unofficial self-appointed charity mascot.
LeeAnne is dating a cop (with a badge – and cowboy boots!) named Rick, who won’t marry her, but is hot. They have several dogs and their house is normal. Exactly what is this crazy ass woman’s deal?!
As Cary Deuber says, “How do you get a job drinking and socializing all day? Maybe I should look into that.” But in the meantime, Cary is surgical nurse married to her third husband (this woman is all of like 30-something), who happens to be Dr. Mark Deuber, the Boob Jesus of Dallas. “Boobs by Deubs” is their motto (it rhymes).
Cary knew Mark before she married him – in fact, she was such close friends with his family they attended her second wedding. A marriage, I presume, that didn’t last very long? In Dallas, everyone believed they were having an affair (She was merely stalking his surgical practice begging him to hire her. Which he did, and so much more!). Now Cary’s essentially the Boob Goddess of Dallas? Boob Archangel? Despite that Cary forgot to wear underwear under her scrubs in the operating room, she seems pretty normal and fun. The only normal-ish person on this show.
Finally, Tiffany Hendra. She’s besties with LeeAnne (for 25 or 30 years, depending on who you ask), and was once a successful model in L.A. Unfortunately she was also very successful at hard partying and got too caught up in the “coke and the Cristal”. Aaron, her Aussie-rocker husband who is rocking bad imitation Keith Urban hair, supported and saved her. Now they’re in Texas so she can reconnect with her roots and escape the party scene. Unfortunately, neither of them have too much going on in the jobs department.
To convince Aaron to like Dallas, Tiffany takes him to buy him his first Texas guitar. Apparently being near guitars requires Tiffany to wear a Brett Michaels‘ bandana, which is ironic because that girl would SOOOO be on Rock Of Love! Aaron sings, Tiffany cried, I cringed and wondered if he’d heard of V0-5 Hot Oil. Aaron’s music must sound better with Tiffany’s ears compressed under the bandana.
Since Real Housewives Of Dallas revolves about charity, how one must give in order to receive, Cary hosts a trunk show for a program that pays for reconstructive breast surgeries after cancer. Very sweet. As a cancer survivor herself, Cary and Mark often perform these surgeries for the organization.
Even though this is NOT LeeAnne’s event, nor her charity, she arrives early to micromanage, oversee, and silently judge Cary’s efforts. Brandi and Stephanie come poised to have party and shop for a cause, unfortunately too many glasses of champagne has them talking about poop over horderves as LeeAnne shoots them scathing looks for their inappropriate “Plano” behavior. Per LeeAnne, Charity Maestro, they only came for the socializing and the cocktails and don’t take charity seriously enough – not like she, High Priestess Of Pseudo-Giving. Did they shop? Then they took it seriously enough. Furthermore Cary wasn’t bothered.
Right away, it’s clear LeeAnne does not like Brandi and they’ll battle it out for HBICCC: Head Bitch In Charge Of Charity Circuit.
LeeAnne goes home to complain to Rick, over Trader Joe’s pre-packaged meals, that Brandi is immature and has no business being involved in the charity scene. Brandi admits she and Stephanie have been occupied raising children, so, yes, the charity events are away to get out of the house. So what if they have fun while drinking for a good cause!
Since this is Dallas and charity is the lay of the land, the women then head over to an event hosted by LeeAnne’s friend Marie, a former promotional model who married an Angel (seriously her husband’s name is Angel) and now has a big ol’ mansion. LeeAnne is Marie’s First Mate, which means organizing food and arranging while Marie flirts with guests. Always by LeeAnne’s side, the Smee to her Captain Hook, is Tiffany.
LeeAnne is in a crotchety mood because a little bird informed her that Brandi has been “mimicking” her. Sure enough, Stephanie arrives at Brandi’s to get ready for the event and confesses to telling Cary about Brandi’s spot-on LeeAnne impression. And it is hilarious!
LeeAnne has a way of aggressively nodding while grunting “mmmmmmm-hmmmmmm” when people are discussing their donations or charitable endeavors. Brandi does a spot-on impersonation. Her motives for the mean girl mimicry: LeeAnne is rude to her. They’ve met at several events, but each time LeeAnne pretends they’ve never been introduced. Predicting that Cary has told others, Brandi knows her ship is sunk and prepares to deal with LeeAnne.
Brandi reveals that people are “intimidated” by LeeAnne, who bullies her way in, and commands control by being the loudest person in the room, but also deploying passive-aggressive tactics that make others uncomfortable. Sure enough within minutes of Brandi walking through Marie’s door, Tiffany has sidled over to confront Brandi about the mimicking, as LeeAnne lurks behind Tiffany’s shoulder being condescending and subtly threatening.
Brandi is uncomfortable but refused to indulge to LeeAnne’s demand that she perform the imitation. Leanne strolls away. But, like an evil Disney witch is watching: watching and waiting… Cary consoles Brandi, and quick as a flash, LeeAnne is back, smirking that they better consider themselves warned. “Y’all sure don’t have much to say,” she hisses, smirking, believing she’s instilled the fear of Jesus in them. “Actually, I do,” Brandi remarks, and she escorts LeeAnne to a nearby sofa to talk.
Brandi says LeeAnne “needs help” for her attention-seeking messiness and is using charities to draw attention to herself when she is NOT the cause. Well at least not the planned cause! For instance at a recent HIV gala, as the survivors were sharing their stories, LeeAnne monopolized things with her own story which had no relevance or purpose! Brandi realized LeeAnne is hijacking the charity events to make herself seem relevant. LeeAnne is floored by the accusation and defensive. Through narrowed eyes, she wonders if Brandi is calling her “pathetic”. Uh – DUH!
Brandi reiterates that she thinks LeeAnne “needs help”. Stephanie comes over to back her bestie, but it’s clear she doesn’t have the spine to go up against The Whip of a ride that is LeeAnne, dropping the bottom out from under people to make their stomachs lurch in her presence.
LeeAnne argues that Brandi and Stephanie don’t take charity seriously, so Brandi points out that LeeAnne attends all these events, judging everyone, yet never pays to host (or donate, presumably), while she’s criticizing their contributions! Despite Stephanie insisting that Brandi is funny and never meant malice with her imitation, LeeAnne feels attacked and doesn’t think it was very kind (she’s right about that!). Brandi doesn’t back down. Battle lines = drawn.
Stephanie and Brandi leave. LeeAnne storms into the kitchen, Tiffany by her side, to start washing dishes. Look – she donated!
TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK OF RHOD SO FAR? WHO ARE YOU LIKING AND DISLIKING? ARE YOU ON BRANDI’S SIDE OR LEEANNE’S?

Southern Charm Recap: Domestic Diss
On last night’s Southern Charm, the snark was flowing like a gin martini, Craig Conover and Shepard “Shep” Rose‘s bromance was back in full swing, and Thomas Ravenel‘s shiner from the premiere was nothing but a faint bruise (take that, Republic headbutter!). Kathryn Dennis grieved passed over invitations while Michael the Butler Cameran Eubanks hosted an intimate dinner party with Patricia Altschul’s guidance. The only one missing was Cooper Ray – he, like JD and Elizabeth, need to be staples. Are you listening, Andy Cohen?
As with every episode, the show begins with each charmer starting a new day in the Holy City. Negotiating a real estate contract reminds Cameran just how much she loves being a modern Southern woman. Her place doesn’t have to be in the kitchen (or in the nursery) – she can have a career! She just needs husband Jason to pick up an ink cartridge for the printer on his way home so she can commence with commerce. Scarlett O’Hara was also a modern Southern woman, but even she knew when to call in reinforcements. Cameran reveals that after two years of marriage, Jason is ready for a baby. Unfortunately, Cameran’s biological clock has yet to start ticking, but she’s building up to some mild domestication with a practice round–she’s planning a dinner party for her friends.

After spending the night in the city for Craig and Naomie’s Lowcountry boil, Kathryn awakens at Jennifer Snowden’s apartment to rehash the awkward events of the previous evening. She still can’t fathom why T-Rav would suddenly change Kensie’s nursery palette to pink unless “someone” persuaded him that periwinkle was the new fetch. It’s never going to happen. Kathryn laments that folks have the wrong opinion of her (I’m actually inclined to agree. Curses!). Gold diggers don’t live in Moncks Corner with their parents and share their childhood bedroom with a toddler. Jennifer just can’t fathom the wringer that T-Rav insists on putting Kathryn through…she thinks he’s such a manipulator. Jennifer confesses to viewers that even though she swore up and down last season nothing ever happened between her and T-Rav when he was with Kathryn, the two may have kind of, sorta, totally, all in hooked up. Shut the front door. I never suspected that bombshell in a million, trillion years! Or maybe it’s just that Jennifer’s face seems so different, it’s like I’m hearing the admission from a totally different person? Not that there is any method to Kathryn’s madness when it comes to views on loyalty or girl code, but she’s given Jennifer a pass. Kathryn is fully aware of this news, and the fact that both she and Jennifer were manipulated by a one time roof-raising politician has bonded the girls even more. Meanwhile, T-Rav takes a break from polo practice at his plantation to share some Rosetta Stone French with the nanny. He espouses that Kensie is his “raison d’etre,” or his reason for existing, while sharing his woes over custody issues with Kathryn and broadly interpreting South Carolina domestic law.
Across town, Shep stops by Landon Clements‘ new home, and she presents him with her staple starving artist snack: hummus and carrots (or just plain ol’ Tuesday lunch for us normal folk!). While Landon is glad to be off the boat, she’s still in self-proclaimed “financial dire straits” after having access to so much money during her marriage. Chickpea offerings and a $2-3K/month downtown rental? I can’t even hashtag that as a first world problem. That’s a straight up peninsula problem…the struggle though. 
But not Craig! He’s working on, well, working. Or at least maybe doing some work. Progress! #NewCraig He’s facetiming with his parents in Delaware and relays that he’s gotten his office set up in Naomie‘s parents’ house. Remember that whole taking the bar thing? Craig sheepishly admits he may not have had enough credits to sit for the exam, but he’s planning on remedying that stat so he can take the bar in February (spoiler alert…he didn’t). Of course, Craig can’t study full time without bringing in some sort of paycheck, so he’s devised a brilliant business plan. He’s going to go to work for JD to help market JD’s hospitality brand. Craig will be investing in the business the good ol’ fashioned way, with hard work, sweat equity, and a check to JD for $15,000.00. I’ve got a similar plan in motion, and as soon as I hear back from that Nigerian prince, I’ll tell y’all all about it. I kid, obviously (not about my get rich quick scheme, as my money is being wired as soon as the prince’s estranged father’s estate is probated) about comparing Craig’s partnering with JD to an Internet scam. JD seems to know how to run a successful business, rear a beautiful family, and stay on the fringe of drama without ever getting sucked in fully. He needs to be a regular cast mate!
In preparation for her dinner party, Cameran pops in on grand dame Patricia where she meets Pat’s intern Anna and Anna’s pet hedgehog. The hedgehog has one of the smallest penises Patricia’s ever seen, but certainly not the smallest. Do tell, Pat, do tell! If someone had told Cameran five years ago that she’d be in Patricia’s social circle, she never would have believed it, but now she relishes in their friendship (who wouldn’t?). Cameran extends an invitation to her gathering, seeking advice on what Crock-Pot creation to fix from Pinterest. Patricia’s ears aren’t tuned to hear those kind of words (slow cooker, plastic ware, BYOB, no valet…it’s all just one big dog whistle) as they are on emitted on a lowbrow frequency. She automatically recommends Cameran enlist local chef/etiquette guru/domestic goddess extraordinaire Suzanne for help with the planning of said shindig. For good measure, Ms. Pat offers up butler Michael (fresh off his vacation) to bar tend. Selfishly, she’ll need a good martini to make it through the pre-dinner mingling. Talk about a hostess gift! Cameran goes over the guest list, and T-Rav and Kathryn are noticeably absent. Cameran can’t be expected to cook for a crowd and mitigate drama at her first dinner party rodeo.
That evening, Craig and Shep convene at Royal American, and they are oh bro cute together. They are joined by Landon and her friend Robyn. Shep may also have invited another girl from his little black book, Bailey, to meet them as well. He has maybe spent quality time with both ladies, but what can he say? He’s generous! Craig likens Shep’s behavior to that of a “college frat star,” and if anyone would know that role, it’s Craig! Landon is always put in an awkward spot when her friends hook up with Shep. Such is the trade-off for being pals with Shepstradamus. Shep notes that two girls in the hand are worth something about bush (no pun intended…), but even he seems a bit uncomfortable seated between two ladies who are vying for his affection. At least Landon and Craig can find amusement in watching the debacle unfold. The following day, Cameran heads to Ted’s Butcherblock (home of the world’s best potato salad) to meet with Suzanne regarding her dinner menu. Between learning the ins and outs of cheese biscuits and cuts of meat, Cameran is enthralled. She was raised on happy meals. Preach, Upstate! Citing her penchant for peasant salt (what in the world is this coarse salt of which Suzanne speaks?), Cameran hopes that Jason won’t run for the hills when he realizes their marital kitchen is void of whole peppercorns. Thank God for Suzanne!
T-Rav has invited Patricia and her son Whitney Sudler-Smith to Annie’s Bistro, the premiere French restaurant in Charleston. A quick Google finds its location to be in front of the Lowes in the Towne Center shopping center in Mount Pleasant. Thomas may have arrived three drinks early, but he’s quick to impress his table mates with his grasp of the French language. Whitney likens it to Rosetta Stone, and I have a moment’s pause. Do we share a brain? Or, as they say in Paris, a cerveau? Whitney questions T-Rav’s social life, but Thomas says he’s not dating because he’s fearful what Kathryn would do if the news got back to her. Patricia thinks it’s a shame to learn that Kathryn is keeping Thomas (as he says it) from seeing their daughter. She recalls her relationship with Whitney’s father, their shared custody, and doing everything in their power to keep the situation from being pernicious and acrimonious (SAT, what?) while making sure everything was in “the best interest of the child” (I just had PTSD from the family law portion of the bar exam). Why can’t Kathryn follow suit? Speaking of, Kathryn is house hunting in the I’On community with Jennifer, who asks whether Kathryn has been invited to Patricia’s upcoming Flamingo Party. The inquiry hits Kathryn like a ton of bricks. What has she done to be ostracized? Will spelling out curse words make her more palatable to the upper crust? Because she can spell, D-A-M-N [space] I-T.
Cameran’s cleaning for her evening’s dinner party, as Suzanne arrives to provide assistance. Suzanne requires saucepans, wine glasses, and carving knives, and she’s shocked to learn they are all still perfectly wrapped wedding gifts that Cameran has yet to utilize…or even unpack. Do these items need to be washed since they have technically never been used? Cameran isn’t fazed. She never claimed to be a cook (or someone who has ever used a pepper grinder). Cameran is honest at least, and she admits that she only hopes to impress Patricia with her dinner party. Luckily, Patricia and Michael arrive early to help with carving, mixology, and place cards. Michael takes over where Suzanne left off, and I don’t think he’s joking that Cameran couldn’t afford him when she teases about stealing Pat’s butler. In West Ashley, as Naomie and Craig prep for Cameran’s dinner party, he receives a call from Kathryn saying she’d like to stop by as she’s been house hunting in the area. If I’On is close to West Ashley, I need a new GPS. Kathryn comments on their dapper attire, and she’s saddened to learn that, yet again, she’s been left off a guest list. I feel badly for her as I know she wants to be part of the group. Craig promises to champion for her to be included going forward.
The gathering is off to a great start, with Michael tending to the roast and the glassware as the crew convenes on Cameran’s beautiful home. Shep wonders if his lack of home cooked meals from attractive females is in direct correlation to never getting past the “let me get you an Uber”relationship stage after a night on Upper King. Cameran’s spread is impressive, even if she does toss Pat’s coveted well-done piece of meat off Danni’s plate and onto Patricia’s. Shep applauds Cameran for not needing to put on airs, and everyone seems to enjoy the food.
Over dinner, Craig and Whitney are hazed about proposals and engagement rings. Cameran asserts that while she dated her husband for four years before marriage, the older you get the more you know what you’re looking for in a partner. Patricia interjects to say she married Whitney’s father after a whirlwind three month courtship, followed by her second husband thirty years later after knowing him for two only weeks. With wine emojis and one-night stands, Patricia feels there is no longer any mystery when it comes to romance. Women are making themselves too available…but marrying after two weeks is playing hard to get? Even though it makes no sense (or does it?), her snarky observations are entertaining nonetheless. Craig, always looking out for his friends, turns the subject to Kathryn with the help of an oh-so-obvious voice over dub. Get it together, Bravo! Cameran blames the awkwardness between Kathryn and T-Rav for their absence. She doesn’t want her maiden voyage dinner party to be the scene for their drama. Shep appreciates what Craig is trying to do (after all, he and Danni are good friends with Kathryn too), but Craig needs to know his audience. Patricia adds her two cents, but Craig can’t take a cue and keeps pushing. #NewCraig, you tried.
