The post Tuesday Night Tea – April 26th appeared first on Reality Tea.
Watching the clips for tonight’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion part two is going to prompt to buy an extra bottle of wine, I think.
Tonight the ladies are joined by Kim Richards, who tries to settle her bad blood with Lisa Rinna and then gets into with Eileen Davidson about LAST SEASON’s poker night. And although she wasn’t even AT poker night, Yolanda Foster feels the need to interject and give one of her lectures. And that’s not the only one she’s handing out. As Kim tries to make a point to Eileen, Yolanda butts in to fight the battle for her – dishing out words of wisdom and holier than thou lectures that nobody gives a rip about. Please let this be her last hurrah. It’ll make it easier to swallow.
Kim also opens up about her relapse and her shoplifting arrest. She tells Andy that she was hard to love, but Kyle disagrees.
In the next clip, Lisa Vanderpump and Eileen Davidson have it out regarding Lisa’s “insensitive” blog comments about Eileen sharing a past abusive relationship. Once again Yolanda never misses a chance to hop in to lecture LVP. It’s going to be a long night. Lisa then tearfully reveals her own abusive relationship.
Are we ready for tonight? Stock those tissues and that wine. Judging from the preview pieces, this is going to be another episode of broken friendships, Yolanda lectures, and the ladies rehashing everything and anything from this season and last.
Don’t forget to tune in tonight at 9/8C – we’ll be Live Tweeting and dishing in the comments below.

Michael Weatherly's Tony DiNozzo is leaving NCIS with a bang, alright--and he's putting up a fight. E! News has gotten a hold of the newest promo for the final three episodes of...Phaedra Parks always has a lot to say – and she has almost as much going on! The Real Housewives Of Atlanta star is currently juggling her law practice, activism, running a foundation, opening a funeral home, parenting her two sons, and reality TV. How does she have the time for all that shade?
Taking a break from dodging depositions squeezing peaches, Phaedra has channeled her activism through Black Lives Matter, the Flint Water crisis, and political involvement into her own self-titled foundation, The Phaedra Foundation. When hubris saves! “My mission is to change one life, one community, one family, hopefully, through the course of my working with them.”
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
Praising the “platform of Housewives,” Phaedra explains that it’s “really important for me to, successfully, not only use it for my own personal benefit, but to, hopefully, bring other people ahead, to inspire people, to rebuild communities.”
The Phaedra Foundation encompasses several programs, including Save Our Sons, and this summer will roll out Camp Joy outside of Flint, MI for the children affected by the water crisis. The overnight camp will provide campers with everything they need for camp and will include volunteer efforts from teachers, academics and celebrities. “I want the children to come to the camp, and just be children,” champions Phaedra. “I want to provide them with true joy.”
Phaedra recently revealed her political aspirations and shares that as her former law school president she always envisioned she’d be the insurance commissioner. (Didn’t her soon-to-be-ex-husband commit insurance fraud?) “I’m definitely moving more towards, maybe, an elected office.” Well, if Donald Trump can turn his reality TV career into a run for president, maybe Phaedra can too!
“I’m not sure where I would be most helpful, but I just want to show people a renaissance woman, much like myself, who has been through a lot of challenges, but also a lot of successes as well, can use your voice not only for cattiness on a television show but to help people in a very positive way,” expresses Phaedra.
“We all live in America and we all want to have the American dream,” she adds. “Someone has to fight for the people who don’t have an opportunity to share in the dream that we should all be living.”
Phaedra’s advice for achieving your own American dream? Be diligent, be consistent, be patient, and remember: “Hard work always pays off.”
In the meantime Phaedra (and a business partner) are performing “due diligence” in preparations for opening a funeral home in Birmingham, Al. “I don’t want to spread myself too thin, but my passion is burying people and embalming – I love it. The dead doesn’t talk quite as much as some of the other Housewives, so I can’t wait to get my own funeral home so I can do it the way I’ve envisioned for so long.”
Apparently Bette Midler and Phaedra once discussed Phaedra’s “love of the dead,” and Bette proposed Phaedra doing her funeral one day. “That would be a dream come true,” gushed an excited Phaedra (she loves Bette!).
Moving on to the topic of parenting, Phaedra strives to be not only a “great example”, but “expose” her children to sometimes uncomfortable reality of their lives. Which, unfortunately, is very “personal” as a result of Apollo Nida‘s incarceration. “I can’t really hide that,” she sighs.
Apollo provides the perfect example of what not to do so Phaedra strives to raise her sons with social conscience regarding issues within the African American community. “I don’t want my sons to have a spirit of entitlement or privilege where they think it won’t happen to them. I think if they’re better equipped from the beginning they’re better prepared as young men to handle those situations appropriately.”
Part of that education included taking them to DC for the Million Man March, which was one of Phaedra’s favorite moments from this season of Real Housewives Of Atlanta. “That was so powerful. I think it was just so impactful on us as women, but moms of sons, and our sons as well.”
However, it’s not all serious stuffs – sometimes Phaedra just wants to be hypocritical ridiculous which is why her friendship with Porsha Williams is so important. “My favorite part of the season was hanging out with my girlfriend Porsha,” Phaedra told Perez Hilton. “We always have a great time together.

If you watched LeeAnne Locken storm out of her lunch with Cary Deuber and Stephanie Hollman at the end of last night's The Real Housewives of Dallas and found yourself wondering what the heck...Amid the the center of the giant fall-out about Dorinda Medley‘s relationship, is the 20-year friendship of Dorinda and Ramona Singer. But are they truly that close?! Not according to Sonja Morgan, who hints that the ladies may be lying about their level of friendship!
Dorinda didn’t bother to shield how hurt she was that Ramona broadcast a salacious secret about John on Real Housewives Of New York instead of speaking to her privately, because, after all, they are real-life, longtime friends. Supposedly… In her Bravo blog Sonja insinuates the ladies barely know each other!
“Dorinda! So dramatic. Friends with Ramona for 20 years? Then you know her,” asserts Sonja. “She has never been any different.”
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
Sonja continues, “Neither of you have been to each other’s homes until recently, so maybe you are now getting to know each other for real.” Yowzers! Interesting. Dorinda has been nothing but support of Sonja and Ramona – including hoping the ladies patch-up their issues.
In fact Sonja admits she’s “so confused” by all the emotional drama that went on during the episode. “I feel like I’m at a tennis match with my head going back and forth.” (Ditto!)
“Not sure where John was going with his story about Skinny Cow? Like, who did skinny first? But it’s not his place to get all confrontational with the girls,” Sonja points out. “Or any woman. It’s not gentlemen-like. Dorinda is obviously going through something. I feel her pain.”
“Dorinda is going to the beach to Bethenny [Frankel]‘s party despite it all, because that is what we do! I’m so confused, though,” admits Sonja. “I thought Dorinda said she was embarrassed and done with John? But before that she was done with Ramona. But now she’s back to John and done with Ramona?”
“This IS getting real. Because if she knows Ramona 20 years, she knows that Ramona is always off the cuff and unfiltered.”
Regardless of how close Ramona and Dorinda truly are, Sonja is glad they worked things out. “I like when Dorinda says, ‘Let me figure it out on my own.’ I agree with that. We all go through passages at our own timing. Oh my, it’s over, it’s done. The apology. Been there with Ramona so many times. Again, welcome to my world.”
Now – on to the remainder of the episode’s drama, for which, of course, Sonja has comments!
Sonja feels it wasn’t Carole Radziwill‘s place to comment on Jules Wainstein‘s weight. “They are both thin as rails,” she snaps. “The fact Jules gets her period IS a good sign, though.” (The ‘Team Sonja’ doctor agrees).
“Not that I’m thin, but I am elderly in Jules‘ book. Well…there is something to be said for wisdom with age and having a good sense of humor,” Sonja teases. “Because, be honest, that just fell flat if it was meant to be funny. I know Jules, and she doesn’t have a mean bone in her body.”
Sonja’s gag reflex was also activated – not over Carole being offended (in flashback) by Luann referring to Adam as “Sonja-young,” to which Sonja asks, “Hey Radz, whats wrong with Sonja-young?”; or by Ramona comparing cocktail olives to penises, to which Sonja comments, “I thought she was the prude always shushing me? I have created a monster. Or maybe that’s what divorce does? Hmmmm,” but from watching Bethenny open her divorce bill! It hit a bit too close to home for Ol’ Lady Morgan.
“I re-lived my own situation. It’s not worth the money spent to get nowhere but backwards. So frustrating,” sighs Sonja. “Gave it up a long time ago. Saved my soul, most of my fond memories and some bank by moving on with my own businesses and my daughter’s peace of mind.”
TELL US -DO YOU BELIEVE SONJA’S ACCUSATION THAT RAMONA AND DORINDA AREN’T THAT CLOSE?

Adam Levine is terrified of Christina Aguilera's chances to win The Voice this season. (After Alisan Porter's performance last night, can you blame him?) The coach told E! News...On last night’s episode of Real Housewives Of Dallas, marital issues caused everyone’s favorite classy lady Brandi Redmond to get wild at a strip club, meanwhile everyone’s other favorite (self-proclaimed) classy lady LeeAnne Locken continued her tirade as a poor man’s carnie attraction version of Emily Post! Now she’s making threats about bowing people. Is this the middle ages? Like bow and arrows?
Brandi’s husband Bryan constantly travels. She feels like he never pays attention to her, which must explain her clown makeup? Brandi and Stephanie Hollman hire baby sitters for a mom’s night out of getting “white girl drunk” (Jesus turns water into wine, and white girls turn it into bad behavior!). After a few glasses of champagne, they invite Cary Deuber to join them. She agrees to “one drink.”

Fast forward a couple of hours later, the real Stephanie and Brandi emerge from underneath the floral and pastels… Cary shares that although Mark is her THIRD husband (!), she’s never had an official bachelorette party, so Brandi and Stephanie, the Genius Twins of Dallas, decide to drag her to a male strip club, where oh-so conveniently they know the owner. Now it is Cary‘s turn to be scandalized!
After a few “stroooooong” drinks, Brandi jumps on stage to give the male stripper a lap dance. She was so drunk she thought he was actually a stripper pole, not a live breathing man. Or possibly she imagined trying to impress the tight end on the Dallas Cowboys field. Girl… simmer down! Cary is speechless and just wants to retreat to the closet Mark lovingly curated for her!
LeeAnne gushes about how much she loves Rick. They met through a blind date, but she instantly knew Jesus walked among us when he provided this handsome, perfect man all for her. LeeAnne is gonna squish him and love him right up until he is turned into little Jesus-blessed Rick stuffed animal. LeeAnne actually tells us her grandmother felt ready to pass away after the blessing that is Rick arrived to take care of LeeAnne as her replacement. LeeAnne’s grandmother rescued her from a life manning the tilt-a-whirl on the county fair circuit.
Pay no mind to the fact that Rick has 2 or 3 ex-wives, and a step-daughter – whom LeeAnne absolutely adores! For her step-daughter’s birthday, LeeAnne is giddy trying to impress her with the perfect gift. She does seem like a sweet girl who LeeAnne does seem to care for. It was nice to see a side of LeeAnne other than Machiavellian Wannabe Stepford Socialitie, who imagines herself wielding the almighty scepter of imperialism over the Dallas charity scene, like a combination Queen of Hearts and Kenya Moore. “Off With Your Red-Headed Heads!”
While LeeAnne is distracted, Tiffany Hendra, her White Rabbit, is desperately trying to sneak out of her rabbit hole to scurry over to Cary’s house and make a friend. Tiffany admits to Aaron, who went from a record deal and fancy recording studio to a tie-dyed Phish throw draped over a wall in the garage and recording YouTube videos, and is now depressed about living in Dallas where he is forced to socialize with LeeAnne.
Since charity begins at home, Tiffany decides they should host their own benefit concert, which will be the joint venture of promoting Aaron’s music alongside Tiffany’s… ummmmm… desire for attention? Tiffany realizes she’s not that enamored with LeeAnne’s phony world of obsessing about archaic social rituals from a dying scene. Aaron agrees and suggests she find some other friends. Just like that, Tiffany decides she likes Stephanie and Cary. And if Brandi has to be dragged along too, well at least she’s kinda fun.
When LeeAnne isn’t deploying KGB tactics on social control, she’s at home taking “day drinking to an art form” – seriously how does this woman make money?! – and cooing at her dogs. Tiffany visits to hear all the ways Brandi has double-crossed LeeAnne while being molested by dog. To make Stephanie and Cary understand just how damaging Brandi is to their reputations, LeeAnne plans to invite them to lunch for a little Come To Jesus LeeAnne lecture about how to Win Friends and Influence People the LeeAnne way.
Tiffany suggests that LeeAnne is taking their prank a little too seriously and should let it go. In response, LeeAnne’s eyes flash like a cartoon villain, and she notes a little check next to Tiffany’s name in the tally of offenses I imagine she records in a leather-bound book kept next to her bed.
Naturally LeeAnne does not support Tiffany branching out and expanding her social connections to include women LeeAnne does not approve of. You are the company you keep! Which is exactly the point Tiffany was trying to make about her friendship with LeeAnne – she doesn’t want to be considered a phony, desperate woman living a phony, desperate life with little substance and a pile of Rubbermaid containers filled with rich women’s stained and tired castoffs, stored in the garage of a drab suburban 70’s ranch home.
In case you hadn’t noticed, Tiffany and Aaron consider themselves young, hip, hot, edgy, and cool. One of Tiffany’s complaints about LeeAnne’s social circle is the other women judging as LeeAnne’s threat of a skinny, hot friend with the hot rocker husband. Keep telling yourself that! Also, your husband is a Keith (Sub)Urban wannabe Christian rocker who drinks Skinnygirl Margaritas through a straw and needs rehab for his flatiron addiction.
So, behind LeeAnne’s back, Tiffany reaches out to Cary to film a segment for her YouTube channel, Sanctuary Of Style, which will showcase Cary’s amazing wardrobe. A wardrobe carefully crafted by her overly-doting husband Mark. Well, these two are odd ducks, but they seem pretty happy together! Mark insists on being part of the video too, because he is all too eager to show off all his favorite pieces and explain why Cary looks so great in them. Cary laughs, “If Mark had hair, he would flip it!” These two seem really fun and easy-going.
After filming wraps, the couples connect over glasses of wine, and shared love stories. Tiffany and Aaron hope they can get together with Cary and Mark again. Actually Cary thinks Tiffany would make an excellent fashion sister wife – Mark can take Tiffany shopping and dress her up like a living doll.
Meanwhile, Brandi has other issues beside LeeAnne. She confessed her strip club shenanigans to Bryan who is angry and embarrassed by her behavior. Now they’re barley speaking. She confides in Stephanie, who is consoling and reminds Brandi that she wasn’t doing anything inappropriate, but Bryan doesn’t realize how relatively tame it was compared to female strip clubs.
Brandi sniffles that if only she and Stephanie could get married and live in a pink house with rhinestone toilets and automatic air fresheners. Then they’d never have to do chore charts again.
That’s not all that’s plaguing Brandi. Her estranged grandfather, who she’s never met, randomly sent her daughters Easter gifts and hopes to connect. Brandi was always led to believe her grandfather cut her mother out of his life when she became a teen mom, but over super strong Bloody Marys, Brandi’s mom confesses that as a result of her parents messy divorce, she chose her mother over her father, which is the reason for they don’t speak!
Brandi is shocked. When she tells Bryan, he’s indifferent and says he has to make a conference call. Brandi looks mournfully at her computer screen and wishes she could take back dropping it like it’s hot at the strip club. I just wish Brandi would put down the frosted eye shadow and get a new plastic surgeon. Dr. Paul Nassif?! Dr. Terry Dubrow?! Are you out there?!
Lastly, Cary and Stephanie meet LeeAnne to try and work past LeeAnne’s bruised ego and poop-upon pride. Cary has just finished 8 hours of surgery and wears her scrubs. She’s channeling her Dr. Jackie and I love it! She’s exhausted after work and has no patience for LeeAnne’s self-important rantings about how to behave. Too bad Cary didn’t bring some tranquilizers with her.
LeeAnne arrives with an attitude and evidence. The evidence: a print-out of the “media” (a blog) panning Brandi’s hat and behavior, and also the plastic poop which LeeAnne saved (and probably and had fingerprinted by the DPD since Rick is a detective) which she flings all over the table to demonstrate the “inappropriate” behavior of these immature ladies, who do not respect their elders (elders including LeeAnne who is 10-years Brandi’s senior).
After LeeAnne spent the entire Mad Hatter’s event raising money for charity telling anyone who would listen how Brandi was mocking them by wearing a hat with hidden poop, her poop smear campaign came to fruition when LeeAnne’s friend and blogger wrote a critique of Brandi’s hat, alongside a photo. LeeAnne presents this as proof to Stephanie and Cary that Brandi is damaging their reputations, which will result in them being excluded from the scene.
LeeAnne even threatens that if you hang out with strippers people will think you’re a stripper – is she alluding to something?! (Ahem… BRANDI!)
I paused the show to read the blog segment about Brandi’s hat. (Far more offensive is her makeup and Botox). The paragraph under the one about Brandi described a premiere Dallas socialite (I googled her) who wore a hat containing a live parrot. And that parrot POOPED on the woman during the event! See, Brandi wasn’t the only sh*t-head, but at least her hat didn’t contain real poop! As Cary pointed, out Mad Hatter’s is a fun event, not some prissy uptight old lady brigade as LeeAnne made it out to seem.
I agree Brandi’s hat was gross and immature, but the poop was pretty well concealed so it wasn’t abundantly obvious what the theme was. Stephanie reminds LeeAnne no one would have known if LeeAnne hadn’t run her big mouth! Which is Brandi’s issue with LeeAnne in the first place – her big mouth always needs to be the center of attention!
Stephanie also defends her friendship with Brandi, who is a good friend. Plus charity is supposed to be about connecting for a good cause, not judgment and pettiness. Cary says they just don’t care as much about what people think, like LeeAnne does.
This infuriates LeeAnne, who shouts she’s allowed to have an opinion and her opinion is shared by the “elderly,” classy women who worked tirelessly on the arboretum charity, which was undermined by Brandi’s behavior which could have negatively reflected on LeeAnne’s ability to raise funds in private by association. Is anyone following this logic? Cary rolls her eyes and reminds LeeAnne that she’s pretending to be someone she’s not – a wealthy woman with a junior league legacy. LeeAnne shrieks in response, “If you bow at me, I will bow back at you!” HUH?!
LeeAnne, frustrated by not being heard, storms out. “I am imparting my information to you as a 411, sometimes as a 911. This is not an audience I’m gonna reach,” she lectures. Stephanie and Cary exchange ‘WTF’ looks and wonder what can of worms on acid they opened now! Someone’s about to get ‘bowed’ at!
TELL US – DID LEEANNE OVER-REACT TO THE PRANK OR ARE THE LADIES DISRESPECTING HER AND HER CAUSE? WAS BRANDI’S STRIP CLUB BEHAVIOR INAPPROPRIATE?

Big Brother stars Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd had big plans for their wedding, but an unexpected surprise threw a wrench in their plans! Everything changed when Jordan suddenly found out she was pregnant after a romantic wedding planning trip to Cancun. The unexpected news prompted the the former showmance couple to rush to the courthouse right away to exchange vows, and save the grand ceremony celebration for later!
After learning they were expecting, Jordan Lloyd and Jeff Schroeder decided they didn’t want to wait any longer to get married. So they chose to go for a simple ceremony at the local courthouse for the time being, and then do the whole big thing with friends and family at Moon Palace in Cancun later as planned.
Jeff and Jordan actually got married back on March 15, but have been keeping it on the down low until just recently. What started out as just a simple trip to the courthouse, however, apparently turned into quite the lovely, fun day for the newly blessed couple!
Honestly, if you're a fan of The Flash you're probably prepared to have your mind blown every week, but rest assured that the last few episodes of season two will not...Last night’s episode confirmed it for me: this season of Teen Mom 2 is too long. How many times can we hear the same stories retold over and over and over again?
Chelsea Houska is trying to get Adam Lind’s child support adjusted, Adam impresses himself, Isaac doesn’t want Javi Marroquin to leave, Leah Messer thinks she has her s–t together, and Jenelle Evans won’t let Nathan Griffith see Kaiser. Some of the story lines actually moved last night, though. Jenelle finally met with Nathan, Javi left for deployment, Chelsea has a new plan for Aubree’s name, and Leah gets a court date for custody reconsideration.
Last week, we witnessed Leah’s awkward dinner with Jeremy Calvert and this week we relive it through her recap to friend Kayla. Jeremy has no interest in Leah, but that’s okay, because Leah doesn’t want to be in a relationship. She needs time and is focusing on her kids. Tinder hookups don’t count. Right after telling Kayla that Ali will eventually lose muscle function in her organs, Ali falls off a swing. It’s a sad reminder that Ali’s condition will continue to deteriorate.
CLICK CONTINUE READING FOR MORE!
Leah gets a bonus day with Ali because she’s taking her to Columbus, Ohio for a doctor’s appointment. Leah is “pushing along” Ali to get ready to leave, but stops everything when she gets an email from the court. Aggressively snapping her gum, Leah sits down and calls cousin Chastity to let her know she finally got a court date and to bitch about Corey Simms. Leah reminds Chastity that she has her s–t together, because if she says it enough times, it will become true. And even though she thinks what Corey did was unfair, she basically admits that’s the reason she got her s–t together. So, she should thank him, right?
Corey meets Leah at Ali’s appointment, where the doctor warns that Ali will continue to fall and advises they protect her head and use the power wheelchair. Then a hospital social worker meets with them to discuss changes to their custody and medical decision arrangements. Unfortunately, Ali was in the room for this conversation. Maybe it’s because Ali is so quiet, but people are always talking around her like she doesn’t understand what’s going on. I’m pretty sure Ali is the smartest one in her family and she knows exactly what’s going on.
As usual, Ali is traded off with no exchange of words between Leah and Corey, but they both stick around in the parking garage for a bit so they can recap what we just watched. Corey’s upset that Leah mentioned the new court date to the social worker in front of Ali and Leah thinks Corey was being a smart ass by saying the court date is in February when it’s actually in January. Leah tells Chastity that Corey is just pissed off because he knows she’s doing better. “I was down for a little bit, but that’s not who I am,” Leah proclaims, yet again.
Jenelle is going to meet Nathan to discuss dropping the assault charges against her in exchange for visitation of Kaiser. She invites David Eason to come along, but he’ll have to wait in the car because she already told Nathan he wouldn’t be there. What could possibly go wrong? She claims to want a civil conversation, but this is Jenelle, and civil conversations aren’t really her thing. Besides, it won’t be civilized if Jessi shows up and talks in Nathan’s ear.
David gets heated just thinking about Nathan stepping out of line. He doesn’t understand why Jenelle has to meet Nathan in person. When he needs to talk to his baby-mamma, he just picks up the phone. Well, when you have a restraining order against you, meeting in person is not even an option. Like a roided-out caveman, David threatens to kick Nathan’s ass if he raises his voice at Jenelle, because that’s a proportionate response. Adding to David’s greatest hits, he lectures Jenelle, “It doesn’t matter if he’s the father of your child or not, you’re with me now. It’s a slap in my face that you want to meet up with him.” If Jenelle were smart, she’d realize this is a red flag, but she’s not so she doesn’t and continues to bring this horrible man around her young, impressionable sons.
Nathan seems so normal now that he’s with Jessi and borderline genius in comparison to David. Nathan tells Jessi that he’s going to meet with Jenelle, and he believes she will ask for the charges to be dropped in exchange for visitation rights. There’s no way Nathan figured that out on his own, but I’ll play along. He insists he won’t agree to it, though, because Jenelle needs to take responsibility for her actions. Then Nathan Googles David’s rap sheet and is rightly concerned that this guy is around his son, pointing out that he looks like a thug. This is coming from Nathan!
At Barbara Evans’s house, Jace is helping Babs plant a tree. When he struggles with the tree, Babs shrieks: “What, are you weak?! That’s cuz you don’t eat vegetables!!” But she praises him when he gets the tree in the ground. Babs may be abrasive and she’s certainly not perfect (she created Jenelle), but she clearly loves Jace and it’s nice to see her spending time with him, as opposed to leaving him with a virtual stranger while she goes out to “dinner.”
Despite their previous conversation, Jenelle and David discuss, yet again, whether David will go with Jenelle to meet Nathan and wait in the car. It takes two segments and all the brainpower they can muster, but they finally decide David will go. Phew! On the way to meet Nathan, Jenelle expresses how mad she is that Nathan’s telling everyone she won’t let him see Kaiser. How dare he?! Now, instead of waiting for Nathan and Jessi to drop charges against her, Jenelle is supposedly willing to let Nathan see Kaiser if he has everything Kaiser needs, like a car seat. David, assuming his opinion matters, asserts that she needs to “point blank” tell Nathan that Kaiser needs his own bedroom. Because Kaiser needs a room to be dumped in when he screams.
When Jenelle and David arrive at the meetup spot, David feels like he’s “about to fill this whole street with upper cut.” WHAT?! Aside from that being completely absurd, why is he so upset? Literally nothing has happened yet! Jenelle goes inside to meet Nathan while David waits in the car. Nathan asks where Kaiser is and Jenelle says he’s in daycare for his daily dose of normalcy. Jenelle promises Nathan he can see his son if he proves he has everything Kaiser needs, such as a highchair and papers promising not to take him out of state.
Realizing the mess he’s walked into, Nathan gets up to leave, but Jenelle persuades him to stick around for more bulls–t. Nathan reminds Jenelle that she lives with a felon and he doesn’t. “He’s not a felon!” Jenelle defends. “He was not found guilty.” While he may have been found not guilty of his domestic violence charge, that doesn’t mean he was innocent. Also, he has a few convictions on his record and a restraining order preventing him from seeing his son. Not a good guy. Nathan accuses Jenelle of alienating Kaiser from his father and “playing daycare” with David. In Jenelle’s defense, what she and David do with Kaiser is far from being anything like a daycare.
After warning her she needs to make better decisions, Nathan asks Jenelle if he can bring Kaiser some presents on Christmas. Jenelle agrees to let him see Kaiser for Christmas and then turns on the waterworks, thinking if she cries hard enough, Nathan will agree to drop the charges. “I’m just trying to be a better person and let you guys see Kaiser, so I hope you guys do the right thing,” she sobs. Unfortunately, the manipulation seems to work on Nathan. He agrees to talk to Jessi about dropping the charges, claiming to have always cared about what’s best for Jenelle, and if the feeling had been mutual, things could have been different between them. If she cared about other people, her whole life would be different!
Chelsea is trying to treat Aubree’s injured finger, but Aubree is having none of it. The joys of kindergartners! Chelsea talks wedding plans with Chelsey while they hang out with Chelsea’s giant dog and Pete the Pig. She’s thinking of having a destination wedding with a bunch of colors that go together. Chelsey thinks that’s, like, a smart idea. The MTV producers instruct them to try to be more interesting, so they start talking about Adam needing to pay more child support and being worthless. And they’re still boring! At least they didn’t have this conversation in baby talk. Or maybe they did; I wasn’t paying that much attention.
Later, Aubree is drawing when Chelsea asks if she’s going to be in the wedding, but Aubree doesn’t care about an icky wedding – she wants Chelsea to get to the baby making! She thinks it only takes two days to make a baby, which depending on what you mean by making a baby, is either a woman’s dream come true, or tortuously long.
Meanwhile, at Adam’s custody-worthy dream house, Adam has the same conversation with friend Tyler that he had last week with his boss. You know the one where Chelsea should work something out with him like Taylor Halbur did and hasn’t Chelsea noticed that he turned his life around? He has a career, house, and vehicle, what more could she want? Adam claims he’s paying literally double now (of what?) since he’s paying child support for Aubree and Paislee, but Randy Houska tweets that Adam has spent more on his dogs’ toys than three months of child support for Aubree.
Later, Chelsea tells Cole DeBoer that Aubree’s ready for a little brother or sister and Chelsea wants to make it happen right away. Cole’s down with that – he has baby fever! Maybe that’s why he finds Chelsea’s dumb baby voice so endearing. Chelsea’s concerned that when she and Cole have the same last name, Aubree might feel left out. Does she feel left out of the Houskas? Doubtful. Anyway, enter the new storyline where Chelsea tries to have Aubree’s last name changed to a Lind-DeBoer or DeBoer-Lind, whichever will piss off Adam the most.
Finally something I care about happens – Pete the Pig does tricks! Aubree has him spin around and rewards him with a chip. Then she asks Chelsea if he can do “the other trick.” Chelsea tells Aubree to just have him give her a kiss, but I want to know what the other trick is!! Pete obeys and gives Aubree an icky kiss. Too cute! I’m okay with just seeing Pete the Pig do tricks during Chelsea’s segments for the rest of the season. Sure, throw the child support hearing in there, too, and the awkward custody conversation at Adam’s house.
Kail is making a surprise video for Javi’s going away party. She can’t think of what to say (how about, I love you and I’ll miss you?) so she grabs Lincoln hoping he’ll think of something good. Given that he’s two and has no idea what’s going on, he doesn’t have any suggestions, so Kail forces out, “We love you and we’re counting down the days until you get home.” Aww.
It’s Javi’s last night at home and tomorrow is the last time he’ll take the boys to school for the next six months. It hurts his heart that Isaac’s taking it so hard and Kail suggests he reassure Isaac that he’s coming back. Isaac climbs into bed with them and gives Javi huge hug. Javi pinky swears he’ll come home.
The next morning, Kail, Javi, and the boys are getting ready to leave for Philly for Javi’s going away party and his last night before deployment, but it STILL hasn’t hit Kail yet. I’ll give her a break on that; people cope with these things differently and I don’t know what it like to be in that situation. But, she should probably stop saying “this is what we signed up for.” She knows it bothers Javi, so she merely alludes to it this time, but Javi knows what she’s talking about.
At the going away party, Kail insists to her friends she’s not an “emotionless bitch.” I thought it wasn’t classy to say the b-word, Kail. Anyway, she’ll have feelings when he leaves. They went through a rough time and she hopes it’s true that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Maybe not her heart, though; she wants Javi to realize what HE has. Then everyone watches the video Kail made of all his friends and family saying goodbye. The whole room is in tears, even Kail.
The next morning, Javi, Kail, and the boys spend the last few moments together before Javi leaves. “I couldn’t say I had a dream before I met you,” Javi professes to Kail. “I was just by myself. I worked to get what I wanted, now I work to get these guys what they want.” If only Javi were this mature when it came to Jo Rivera.
Kail tells Javi his leaving finally hit her last night when she saw the video. As she cries, she reveals that one of her fears is that they may go through tough times while Javi is deployed and because he has a negative mindset, he may leave her for good. So maybe she does truly love and want to be with Javi! Everyone says their final goodbyes, all in tears except for little Lincoln. Javi tells Kail she’s his best friend, but she just commands him to be good and go to the gym when he has free time. Is she worried he’ll find a sidechick while he’s gone? “You’re my best friend, too!” he tearfully exclaims to Isaac, before reiterating the man of the house talk.

Jodie Sweetin was sent to the hospital while rehearsing for Dancing With the Stars, but a bruised bone didn't keep her and pro dance partner Keo Motsepe from hitting the floor and taking on...After Kathryn Dennis’ epic polo match meltdown on last week’s Southern Charm, it’s seems only natural to follow up with a Thomas Ravenel showdown at a flamingo soiree, right? And Patricia Altschul was worried about drama at her party…that’s not a thing with this crowd!
T-Rav heads to JD’s to vent about what happened in Aiken. He reveals that when he threatened not to co-sign Kathryn’s lease, she became so distraught that she had to be hospitalized. Thomas worries about the risks of his son being born prematurely, and he’s ready to write his name on the bottom line. JD warns that his friend doesn’t need to fall prey to any manipulation on Kathryn’s part. T-Rav definitely believes he’s being manipulated, but he blames Jennifer for pulling the puppet strings. Ever since she wanted more from him after their drunken fling (Thomas’ words, not mine), she’s been instigating and doing her best to upset Kathryn by tracking his every move on social media and sharing it with Kathryn. Of course, if it’s on social media, can’t Kathryn find out about T-Rav’s shenanigans herself? The pair both seem rather adept at Twitter rants and Instagram shade.

Shepard “Shep” Rose receives a call from Cameran Eubanks who is suffering from a bad case of number three. Unable to hide his laughter, Shep teases that her cooking may be the cause of her intestinal issues. He’s on his way to Craig Conover’s new office to watch him physically submit his bar application. Craig’s biggest concern is whether to adhere his passport photo with velcro tabs or a glue stick. Really, Craig? Velcro tabs? Craig says he’s excited to be working on JD’s bourbon business, and he feels he has great experience given all the brown liquor he’s consumed in his lifetime. Shep likens that comparison to Craig being able to run Chevrolet just because he knows how to drive. Shaking his head, he offers to drive Craig to the Canadian mail center to make sure the application doesn’t get lost in transit.
Across town, Cameran is lunching with Danni and their friend Leva and Cameran is wary because Leva isn’t drinking wine. No, she’s not pregnant, but she’s trying. Her pals grill Cameran about why her biological clock isn’t ticking, but she retorts that every month she tries not to get pregnant. Joking aside, Cameran admits that while by all accounts she seems ready for a baby (great marriage? Check. Financial stability? Check.), she just doesn’t want to start a family yet. She wonders if her decision is rooted in anxiety.
At Mrs. Pat’s abode, the lawn is being manicured, Michael the butler is polishing silver, and Pat and her party planner are prepping for her flamingo event. She will be showcasing her signature cocktail fountain, over a hundred inflatable flamingos, and a fortune teller.
Meanwhile (because who needs a job when you’re on this show?), Craig and Landon Clements are heading to spa to get lunch hour pedicures. Craig gets a call from Jennifer informing him about Kathryn’s pregnancy scare, and she is quick to share that Thomas was nowhere to be seen at the hospital. Landon has little patience for Jennifer’s news that Kathryn could have died. People go to the hospital everyday. It’s not a big deal! She’s fine, now let’s hit the spa! Jennifer encourages Craig to reach out to Kathryn, and becomes uncomfortable when Landon goes off on Kathryn’s attempts at crying wolf.
Speaking of Kathryn, she’s not keen on having Thomas in her life or their kids’ lives if he’s not willing to co-sign her lease. On cue, he calls to tell her he has submitted all of the paperwork and would love to help her when she’s ready to move. While Kathryn is disturbed that it took something as serious as a trip to the ER to motivate T-Rav, she’s excited about his change of heart…and her new house. Oh hey, Broad Street–there’s my friend’s mother’s house!
Before her event, Patricia is getting dolled up by her make-up artist as Michael presents jewelry to her on a silver platter. Pat is of the generation of dresses, heels, and coifs, and parties call for added glamour.
Thomas is pre-partying with his friend Josh (that hair!) while waiting on Landon to pick them up on her golf cart. He explains to Josh that Landon is a great girl with many skills, and perhaps Josh may become privy to those skills if he gets to know her on a more intimate basis. Thomas can’t hide his smirk in his talking head interview when he states the pair are “just friends.”
As the charmers convene on Patricia’s property, Landon giggles to Patricia that she came in full flamingo attire and snarks that Shep’s date is more Frederick’s of Hollywood than Saks Fifth Avenue. Just as cringe-worthy is T-Rav trying to hit on a college senior. I can’t believe it, but but I’ve missed Whitney Sudler-Smith! Craig comes bearing a gift for Patricia–a huge bedazzled martini glass. While it won’t fit in with her centuries-old china, she will find a place for it (likely next to T-Rav’s giant candle in the Goodwill pile). Cameran swoops in wearing a humongous flamingo hat as Shep and his lady friend strip down to their skivvies for a dip in the pool. Their prank drenches Patricia, and neither Landon or the girl that Shep was with at Royal American find the duo’s antics adorable.
Discussing his conversation with Jennifer, Craig questions whether T-Rav went to visit Kathryn in the hospital. What? He most certainly did! Thomas exclaims that he’s sick of Jennifer meddling in his relationship with Kathryn and his children. Craig thinks that Jennifer annoys Thomas because she was supposed to be the secret mistress…she wasn’t supposed to stick around to befriend Kathryn. Royal American girl tries to get the skinny from Landon on her feelings for Shep. Landon laughs that they have known each other forever, but they are just friends. Sure they may have made out a million years ago, but who hasn’t made out with Shep? In her talking head, Landon admits that sometimes she wonders if she should pursue a relationship with Shep, but she doesn’t want to get hurt if he’s not in the same place.
Back from a one episode hiatus (thankfully!), Cordially Cooper Ray approaches Patricia about her recent iciness. Does it have something to do with his new friendship with Kathryn? Of course not! She’s had house guests, that’s why she’s been so distant! Cooper apologizes for allowing his insecurity and her busy schedule to interfere with their weekly chats. However, he muses that Pat’s problem with Kathryn is rooted in the fact that Kathryn reminds Patricia of her younger self. Patricia reminds Cooper that if she had an issue with him, he wouldn’t have been invited to the party, but in her interview she’s quick to call his desire to be friendly with Kathryn unattractive. She likens him to a poor man’s Truman Capote, but I have to wonder if Truman wasn’t the poor man’s Cooper Ray? Minutes later, Cameran topples into the shrubbery while laughing at the idea of Shep making love. Whitney has to physically lift her out of the bushes, and it’s amazing comic relief.
As the guests down the rose, Jennifer makes her entrance. Thomas can’t believe that Kathryn was excluded from the party yet this pot stirrer was invited. He’d like to toss her into the pool, but JD reminds him of that incident with the hairdresser. Bad idea. Jennifer approaches JD and Elizabeth to get their take on Kathryn’s tantrum. She feels caught in the middle because she’s friends with both of them. Thomas pulls aside Jennifer to confront her about spreading rumors about being absent from the hospital. She clarifies that she simply said he didn’t spend the night. Oh, that pesky playback! Is he lying? Is Craig lying? He’s yelling at Jennifer and she retorts that she’s Kathryn’s only friend. Shouldn’t he be one too? She suggests they call Kathryn immediately. T-Rav believes this proves his point. Why would Jennifer want to call Kathryn when she knows it will only upset her? As everyone watches, Thomas storms off and Jennifer dials Kathryn to rehash their argument.
At Thomas’ request, Whitney instructs his mother to eject Jennifer from the party. When Pat sees Jennifer talking on her phone, she inquires as to if Kathryn’s getting a play-by-play. Pat announces that there is a spy in their midst, and Jennifer hightails it out of the shindig finally realizing how it feels to be Kathryn. Thomas rants that Jennifer is more than welcome to tell Kathryn he’s been with a thousand women, but please, just wait until after the baby’s born so it won’t cause any additional stress.

Yolanda Foster Hadid‘s premiere supermodel spawn – the one, the only, Gigi Hadid turned 21 this weekend, which was celebrated in an event Yolanda dubbed “GIGI Day”.
The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star took a [another] break from Lyme Disease to relax on the beach alongside Gigi and No 2 daughter (and fellow Lymie) Bella. Gigi also had a (separate?) celebration with her father Mohamed Hadid. There was cake at that party – hopefully Gigi was actually permitted to eat a nibble or two...
Photos of Gigi’s 21st birthday weekend are below!

Curiously Yo and Mo do not appear in any photos together. Oh, Mohamed and his women… it always seems to be a mystery what’s going on there! Also present was Gigi’s boyfriend Zayn Malik.
