Heather Dubrow: “If There Actually IS A ‘Puppet Master,’ Her Name Is Vicki”

It was the worst of times, it was the worst of times. That about sums up this season of The Real Housewives Of Orange County, does it not? But, wait! We still have the reunion ahead, so we can relive the shrieking drama all over again!

Given the contentious nature of this season, it’s only natural that the ladies react just as contentiously in their blogs. Heather Dubrow calls out Meghan Edmonds, Kelly Dodd, and Vicki Gunvalson in her blog this week as the ultimate sh*t-stirrers / backstabbers, and she’s not holding back! Citing Meghan as two-faced, Kelly as a troublemaker, and Vicki as the revenge-seeking “puppet master,” Heather claims that the reunion to come “will not disappoint.”

After gushing about her new book “Dr. And Mrs. Guinea Pig” with Terry Dubrow, Heather launches into an update of where things stand since cameras stopped rolling. They’ve moved into their mansion, the kids are doing well, and “Terry has kept his promise to be more available to the family.”

As for the ladies, Heather begins with the easy ones (in her world). Of Tamra Judge, Heather reports, “We are close and I’m proud of her for working so hard and crushing her competition!” Her friendship with Shannon Beador remains strong as well. “We are close, and I loved watching her renew her vows.”

Heather does point out that “It was sad seeing Vicki (through Kelly initially) trying to break down her newlywed status with hateful rumors.” Ah. So – here we go!

Beginning with her gripes about Meghan, Heather reflects, “I thought we were close. I was proud of how we handled things after Glamis. I called her immediately, made a date to talk to her and we worked it out. I was upset watching her talk about me behind my back and take jabs at me in her interviews. I wish she had called me to discuss how she felt like I had done with her previously. I will be bringing this up at the reunion.”

Moving on to Kelly, Heather advises that she has some lessons to learn. “What can I say? Things didn’t end well between us. Watching back the bus trip was difficult. It was 3 AM and we had been drinking for quite some time. I didn’t even remember saying half that stuff. I thought I was defending my friends who were being attacked by Kelly throwing out accusations that she’d heard from Vicki. This is a good lesson which should be obvious – don’t talk/discuss/fight after having too many drinks.”

Heather does admit some fault in the bus-from-hell situation, though. She confesses, “I feel terrible about saying I felt bad for Kelly’s kid. I’m very sorry Kelly. I promise you that I can learn my lesson and never do that again…but I’ve learned that not everyone learns…stay tuned for that.”

Heather also jokes that she doesn’t know if “I’m a puppet or a master or whatever it is I’m being accused of?” but that Kelly’s behavior after the Ireland trip spoke volumes about how she operates. “When we got back from Ireland, I went home and back to my family. I saw Kelly going around to everyone and talking about me.”

“Much comes up at the reunion that explains more of our contentious relationship this year…you will see next week,” warns Heather.

But the real “puppet master,” in Heather’s opinion, is Vicki. Heather claims Vicki was simply out for revenge this season after feeling ganged up on last year. She accuses in her blog, “After watching the season, I think that Vicki wanted revenge for what she perceived we had done to her last year with Brooks [Ayers]. I think she used Kelly and fed her information to hurt everyone. If there actually IS a ‘puppet master,’ her name is Vicki.”

Cynthia Bailey On Dealing With Divorce; Says Peter Thomas Almost Quit RHOA!

Real Housewives Of Atlanta is all about divorces this week! Cynthia Bailey filed from divorce from Peter Thomas earlier this year and has no regrets about leaving that marriage in the dust.

Despite Peter not wanting the divorce, Cynthia says things are moving along without issue. “It’s going to be a pretty simple divorce. We’re doing a settlement agreement,” she explained. “We don’t have children together. We’re not fighting over custody.” Or money apparently? Peter currently lives in Charlotte to focus on his burgeoning bar empire there, and Cynthia is still in Atlanta. They’re selling the home they lived in as a couple.

“I will always love Peter,” Cynthia admits, “I’m dealing with this divorce as best as I can.”

“I have no interest in dragging Peter through the mud or being disrespectful in regards to our marriage,” she continues. “A lot of great things came from our marriage.” Yes – foreclosure, cheating accusations, bankruptcies, reality TV fights, friendship with felons… good things, indeed!

“Not many reality TV marriages peacefully move on,” Cynthia adds. Although Peter almost didn’t return to the show this season. Yeah right!

Season 9 started filming right after they officially separated. “He was very emotional, very upset about it all… He had to go through his process to feel the way he wanted to feel,” shares Cynthia. “As we were able to kind of communicate and talk, I think he felt more comfortable coming on. He does come on the show.”

RELATED – Peter Thomas Attends RHOA Cast Trip!

NeNe Leakes tried to get them back together because her separation from Gregg worked wonders, but Cynthia laughs off reconciling with Peter.

Despite their many issues as a couple, Cynthia maintains that Peter was always her “biggest cheerleader,” encouraging her to follow her heart and intuition. Unfortunately too much business ultimately broke them apart. Does Cynthia mean Peter’s constant mismanagement of running businesses?

“Our plan was once we reached a certain point, we’d have time for each other. Unfortunately, all that time apart really just put a strain on our relationship and other issues came up,” Cynthia tells Atlanta Constitution Journal. “We had a plan. We just didn’t make it to the finish line.”

“I want to be happy. I want to have fun,” says Cynthia of the future. “That’s what I choose to focus on. You’ll get to see how that plays out.”

RELATED – Kenya On Love In The Public Eye!

On other subjects Cynthia is “excited” that Sheree Whitfield is back, and thinks Kim Fields made the right decision in leaving. “I don’t know if the show was a great fit for her. I thought she did well when she was here.”

Cynthia and Phaedra are “back and cool again.” She’s also having no issues with Porsha. “I don’t see Porsha outside of the group. As for working relationships, we’re good.”

This season Cynthia becomes “closer” to Kandi, but hints at some issues with resident shit-stirrer Kenya Moore.

“I end up spending quite a bit of time with Kandi. I’m glad about that. She’s good people,” says Cynthia. “Kenya is like my little problem sister sometimes. I always have this love for Kenya but she is going to act out. It’s just going to happen!”

Real Housewives Of Atlanta reruns to Bravo this Sunday at 9/8c

The FBI Investigating Tamra Judge Over A Topless Photo Of Vicki Gunvalson?!

Vicki Gunvalson is no stranger to topless photos accidentally getting out, but this time Tamra Judge (who never talks about people, ever) and the FBI are involved!

The photo in question happened when Vicki flashed her boobs to FaceTime Terry Dubrow during the Real Housewives Of Orange County trip to Ireland and Tamra reportedly snapped an uncensored shot of Vicki’s boobs.

Production sources attest that Tamra did share the photo with cast and crew, also making a slew of rude comments about Vicki. That in itself is mean, but where it potentially gets illegal is in the hands of a minor! Tamra is also accused of sharing the nude photo with guests at a party and allegedly asking a 15-year-old girl to post it on social media.

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!

A woman named Rosalie Coleman, a CA resident, filed a complaint with the FBI claiming Tamra “sent a nude photograph of an acquaintance of hers (taken at a small gathering) to a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD girl & asked her to distribute it online in an effort to humiliate & harass one Vicki Gunvalson.”

RELATED – Vicki Wants Legal Action Taken Against Tamra?

A copy of Rosalie’s complaint, available at TMZ, specifies that she also contacted the local sheriff’s office and CPS about the incident, but received no response which is when she escalated to the FBI. She also has proof the photo was in a teen’s possession and has a copy of the uncensored shot before it was removed form social media.

Tamra says she had nothing to do with leaking the photo, and certainly didn’t allow it to fall into the hands of a minor. She’s been shockingly silent on twitter in light of the expose.

RELATED – Kelly Says Tamra Set Her Up Over Stolen Texts

An FBI source says they’re currently evaluating the incident, but have yet to open a formal investigation. So, wow, the FBI, huh. My, my… what are Housewives coming to?! From now on, let’s keep your clothes on, and your iPhoto and Twitter to yourselves, ladies!

Vicki has not commented. She was too busy winning a reality TV award.

Kandi Burruss Calls Out Porsha Williams For Propositioning Her; Says Friendship With Phaedra Parks Is “Rockier” Than Ever!

Lesbian accusations on Real Housewives Of Atlanta?! That’s a first, right? Kandi Burruss is having major drama with Porsha Williams this season which centers all around accusations about who propositioned whom for a threesome.

Kandi also dished on motherhood – Ace is walking! – her friendship with Phaedra Parks, and the status of Chateau Sheree!

Chateau Sheree is finally finished and “amazing,” according to Kandi. “It took her a minute, but she got it together,” laughed Kandi. The entire cast attended Sheree Whitfield‘s housewarming party which also included “a couple of extra Housewives.”

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!

“Old girls,” Kandi dished. “Kim Zolicak was there and Lisa Wu stopped by too.”

Kandi defended Sheree taking 5+ years to finish her McMansion. “She was doing it on her own. And she was using a lot of her own money to do it instead of financing.  I felt bad for her, because I know how it is when you’re trying to build something. Everyone else may not get it, but I get it.”

RELATED – Sheree Whitfield Gives Side-Chicks A Read!

While Chateau Sheree is finally on solid ground, Kandi’s friendship with Phaedra is “rockier” than ever. “We haven’t been friends for two years now,” Kandi admitted, with a roll of her eyes. “One minute we’re cool; one minute we’re not…. It’s been that way this whole season.”

Kandi is NOT cool with is Porsha – no bones about that! A preview of season features an accusation that Kandi is secretly a lesbian and wanted to have a orgy with Porsha and Shamea Morton. Kandi argues that it was actually other way around!

“All I have to say is, if I’m a lesbian, she is too. There was never a sex dungeon. My husband and I never invited her anywhere – she actually invited US out somewhere!” Kandi fired back on Hollywood Today Live. “And I had the text messages to prove it!”

RELATED – Kordell: Marriage To Porsha Got “A Little Too Stinky”

Because of the Bedroom Kandi line, Kandi feels her castmates assume viewers think she’s a freak – luckily she was able to spill the truth!

Kandi dished a bit more on Access Hollywood. “Porsha and I definitely are not in a good place right now,” she laughed.

She also shared that this season Riley will be working on her relationship with her biological father this season. “Honestly,” Kandi sighed, “they’re still trying to work that out… ” His wanting to reconnect was a surprise.

“That was something that I never really tried to bring up on the show, as far as bringing him on the show, because we have had issues, but um… this was something he chose to do,” Kandi laughs sourly. “Aaaand … it was interesting!”

One thing Kandi never hesitated to put on camera was her relationship to Todd Tucker. She occasionally worries about ‘the curse of the Housewives marriage,’ but thinks their entire relationship including cameras will make the difference.

RELATED – Kandi & Todd Have Hawaiian Airlines Issues!

“We didn’t have the whole pre-show vs. after-the-show,” Kandi explains, “so I think we’re gonna be better for it because we know how to handle it.” While Mama Joyce has finally gotten over her hatred of Todd, she’s “bringing the drama” in other ways! “She’s outspoken and she doesn’t bite her tongue about how she feels about some of the people on the show.”

“There’s gonna be a lot,” Kandi warns, “You gotta watch!” And watch we will this Sunday when RHOA returns at 9/8c.

Don’t Be Tardy Recap: Smells Like Teen Spirit

On last night’s episode of Don’t Be Tardy, Kim Zolciak Biermann had to brave the mean streets of Los Angeles without the protection of chef Tracey husband Kroy Biermann. Of course, life of a wannabe momager isn’t always easy, and if she’s going to help skyrocket her twin Brielle and foul mouthed KJ into super stardom. Who do you think would win in a cage match between Kim and Kris Jenner?

The episode begins with Kim complaining about how often Tracey prepares fettuccine alfredo. Sure, Kim loves pasta and eats it everyday, but Kroy deserves something fancier in the kitchen. Tracey would love to get to use her actual culinary skills, but (shocker!), her talent is lost on the Biermanns. She admits that when she started cooking for the family, she made everything from scratch with fresh ingredients, but gave up when it became obvious that they preferred canned crap. Tracey cites being the Biermanns’ cook has been the most difficult experience of her career…and she was on Top Chef. Kroy insists he’s a foodie, although he’s never heard of exotic foods such as flank steak and tomatoes. Tracey promises to wow them with an upscale menu when they return from Los Angeles. They are taking Brielle to meet with Access Hollywood and have arranged for two huge casting agencies to fight over who will reap the benefits of KJ’s future celebrity.

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE! 

Kroy’s physical therapist comes for a dry needling session, and he’s wincing and whining through the pain. Kim chides him about his low tolerance for pain, but Kroy counters that he’s much tougher than his wife. Kim laughs at the idea of Kroy dealing with the pain of labor, but he thinks getting hit on the football field is much more painful. Okey-doke, Kroy! With his new free agency, he may not have to worry about getting tackled anymore. Fortunately, the Buffalo Bills are interested in speaking with him, but unfortunately, he’s going to have to bail on the beginning of the LA trip to make the trek to upstate New York. Hopefully, Kim won’t be on her own with Brielle and KJ for long.

Tracey walks in on Brielle practicing her hosting skills by reading subtitles on the television, a tip she received from Jason Kennedy when she visited E! last season. I never thought I’d type this, but Brielle is actually pretty good at it. Tracey agrees. Brielle may be irresponsible as hell and the chef never thought she’d be able to hold a job, but Kim’s mini-me just may be on to something with this career path. Brielle reveals that she is going to LA to meet with Access Hollywood. Her parents will only let her move to Los Angeles if she’s employed, and her publicist got her an interview. While it’s technically not a paying gig, he’s confident that if Brielle starts out as an intern she can quickly work her way up the ranks to a prime time hosting position. Mmmhmm. Sure.

After a rowdy game of pool with his sons, Kroy questions KJ about whether he’s excited about the LA trip. Um, $^*& yeah, he is! Kim joins the crew in their home theater to work with KJ on his acting chops. She tells KJ the casting director may ask what he wants to be when he grows up, and KJ confidently replies, “A chef!” Wrong answer, kid! You want to be a television star! The child is literally bouncing off the walls as Kim and Kroy try to cajole him into being interested in acting to the point where we’re forced to watch Kroy improvise a skit about his ass. I swear, I’m getting dumber watching this episode, but I know I’ll watch it eighty more times in the next two weeks.

Arriving in Los Angeles, Brielle hits up In and Out and scarfs down a burger in literally one bite. Even KJ is appalled, but I’m reminded of Kim slurping up Tracey’s noodles mere minutes ago. Kim finds it ironic that her daughter has gained the freshman fifteen without actually attending college. Speaking of food, back in Atlanta, Tracey is experimenting with her high end menu with Ariana and Kash as her guinea pigs. Kash is practicing his dicing skills will a butcher knife the size of his arm, which is a normal kitchen task for a three-year-old. While he doesn’t have the most discerning palate, he’s at least willing to try whatever Tracey puts in front of him. Ariana, not so much…she claims non-existent food allergies to avoid taste testing.

It’s a wonder that KJ has such a foul mouth given his mother’s delicate vocabulary. She’s stressed to be navigating Los Angeles without her security blanket Kroy by her side, so she’s enlisted her publicist Jack to be his stand-in until Kroy arrives in California. Kim is concerned about dragging KJ to the laboratory that is creating her skincare line without Kroy there to wrangle his precocious behavior. Brielle really isn’t much of a baby-sitter, you know. After a hairy drive to the lab, Kim meets her “team” in person, and the crew gets down to determining the perfect scent for her line. She’ll know it when she smells it, but it sure as $&%* isn’t going to be an easy job. Or is it? Coconut lime, it is!

In case you aren’t convinced that Kim and Brielle are slowly morphing into one person, their stance of elevators will change your mind. They don’t ride them (high five!) in elevators and insist on taking the stairs up to the hotel penthouse. In fact, neither has ridden (fist bump!) the elevator in their Atlanta home. In fact, wouldn’t it make more sense for penthouses to be on the first floor? It would save them the unnecessary exercise! Later, KJ is rehearsing for his audition with the help of Brielle and Jack, and by rehearsing, I mean talking a bunch of gibberish and jumping all over the furniture. Kim is nervous about how he’ll do the following day given his high energy and lack of respect for adults. Fingers crossed Kroy will be able to make it to LA in time for the audition since KJ listens better to his father. KJ rushes through a quick line about sunscreen that I can barely understand, and Kim is convinced he’s ready for an Oscar.

TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK OF LAST NIGHT’S EPISODE? ANY PREDICTIONS FOR HOW KJ’S AUDITIONS GO?

Phaedra Parks Officially Divorced From Apollo Nida; Doesn’t Miss NeNe Leakes; Headed To South Africa Again

“It’s finalized!” says Phaedra Parks of her long divorce from Apollo Nida.

The Real Housewives Of Atlanta star filed for divorce in 2014 when Apollo began serving an eight-year prison sentence for about three zillion counts of fraud. Since then, Phaedra has been focusing on her children and trying to disentangle herself from her marriage.

Now that she’s finally a single lady again, Phaedra is not entertaining the idea of reconciling with Apollo once he’s released, even if he IS a changed man!

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!

“I never say never, but in this case, I don’t think that will be a possibility,” Phaedra informs vlogger Raq Rants. “At the end of the day, we’re friends and we have our kids together, so we’ll always be friends. We’ll always have a relationship.”

“I’ll always love him,” continues Phaedra to ABCNews, “but as far as being in love with him romantically, I’m definitely not at that place in my life anymore.”

So what does it feel like to be divorced? Well, to Phaedra it feels like being a failure! “I’m glad that I’m able to enter a new chapter in my life, but at the same time as a woman and, as probably an anal person, who’s very ambitious, you don’t want to be the most successful business person and be a failure at personal relationships.”

Phaedra shares that “where they feel [Apollo’s] absence” most is in her sons who look for a father-figure. Worrying about exposing her sons to a new man is why she’s is so hesitant to start dating again. Although perhaps a lil romance is in store for Mama Parks – she and Porsha Williams have joined a dating app! “We are trying to navigate those waters,” Phaedra laughs, “We’re very excited and happy about that.”

Ayden and Dylan are doing “very, very well,” however, although they haven’t seen their father in person since that lone visit filmed by Real Housewives Of Atlanta last season. Future visits are “not in our schedule at this time,” reveals Phaedra. Yeah, so much for that co-parenting thing.

As for Apollo’s reaction to being divorced, a source connected to the imprisoned former reality star tells TMZ that this is the first he’s hearing of it. Let’s hope his prison-pal Juicy Joe doesn’t suffer the same fate!

RELATED: Celebrate Phaedra Parks’ Shade!

Switching gears to the upcoming drama on Real Housewives Of Atlanta, apparently this season is all twisted up! “All the strong personalities make for a very exciting show,” muses Phaedra. “You get all that together and it’s like a whirlwind, honey! It’s like a tornado.” Is it… gone with the wind fabulous, then?!

Phaedra and Kenya are finally able to be in the same room together. Calling them friends is a “mis-characterization” Phaedra explains to Raq Rants, “but we are at place where we can do things together without it turning into a knock-down, drag-out fight.”

“BFF – no… But we have definitely evolved,” Phaedra continues. “This season we really got to be cordial. We actually had lunch a few times. She invited me to tea!” However Phaedra “doubts” she’ll be allowing Kenya anywhere near the vicinity of any men in her life.

“Cynthia and I are in a better place. She was being a little mean with me last season. Of course now she’s going through the same thing I’m going through,” shrugs Phaedra.

Phaedra has no concerns about how RHOA will fare without NeNe Leakes‘ looming presence. This is the first season NeNe will have absolutely no role.

“She’s gone,” confirms Phaedra. “I have nothing against NeNe, and I’m very happy for her success, but this is an ensemble cast; it’s not ‘The HouseWIFE,’ it’s the House–wives. Plural.”

“When people say, ‘It’s this person’s show…’ that’s not accurate, because if it was their show they would have a spinoff,” snarks Phaedra. “That’s not being shady,” she adds, “that’s just the truth.”

Finally, Phaedra, who has been devoting her time to political and humanitarian causes, is heading to South Africa next week to speak at the Essence Festival there. The RHOA cast traveled there a few seasons back and it was, well, a trip!

Little Women: LA Season Finale Recap: Sail Away

Call me a cynic, but I think this season of Little Women: LA was extended for the express purpose of showcasing Terra Jole’s first training session for Dancing With The Stars, which she does on last night’s finale. The issues between Christy McGinty Gibel, Briana Renee, and Terra were pretty much corked up during Tonya Banks’ survival retreat last week, after all.

But production Elena Gant thinks it might be worth one more try! So she gets the ladies together for a “land sailing” day in one final attempt to heal that which will never be healed: The bruised egos within this group. (Does anybody else get the sense that this might be Elena’s final swan song on LWLA? She seems Totally. Over. It.) Despite the one-track storyline of Christy v. Everybody this season, I do still hold out hope for this show, which I’ve truly loved watching over the years. So c’mon, ladies, rally! I just can’t quit you!

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!

Preston and Elena are spending some kid-free time at the miniature train store. Not Elena’s favorite pastime, but she stands by her man, and his hobbies! Disappointed at the result of Tonya’s outing last week, Elena wants to gather the girls to try mending relationships again. She wants to remain friends with the entire group, and she recalls the good old days when you could invite them ALL to outings without WW III ensuing every damn time. Preston suggests a location far, far away. Because he’s no fool.

Christy and Todd are out to lunch discussing family issues. Autumn is doing better, but Christy’s father is still struggling. Christy is ready for some relief – from family and friend drama, alike. She says she’ll have to be okay with how things were left at the retreat, even though it wasn’t ideal. She can keep her distance from Terra, but Briana will always have a special place in her heart. Still raw about not receiving “honest” apologies from either of them, Christy holds out hope that will change.

At a self defense class Tonya organizes, she, Terra, Elena, and Briana fend off a silver-helmeted “attacker” with only the fierceness of their right jabs and groin kicks. Tonya hopes Briana takes the hint that defending oneself doesn’t always necessitate a gun – especially when you live with a volatile, angry man who could turn that gun on you (dark thought, I know, but a potential fear nonetheless). After training, Tonya admits that her survivalist retreat left her feeling deflated. She wants peace, and Terra says she does too, but that doesn’t mean friendships will be rekindled. Fair enough.

Elena wants Terra to walk her talk though, so she suggests land sailing as their final group outing. Briana pipes up that she’ll be a “cordial acquaintance” to Christy there, but nothing more. Elena calls bullsh*t on Briana’s brokedown high horse, reminding her how many chances she gave certain cretins in the past! What does Briana want from Christy, beyond the apology for “meddling” that she’s already offered? Does she want her to bend down, kiss the ground she walks on, pay homage to Queen Bonnie and King Clyde forever? Briana stubbornly refuses to bend. Because she is a ridiculous person.

Tonya is at the eye surgeon to get Lasik surgery. After the procedure is over, Tonya is thrilled with the result – and with her Terminator sunglasses! Lil Robot Boss! She and Kerwin discuss Angelique’s dating life, which still remains the worst/best kept secret among their family. She’s seeing her ex-boyfriend, Reggie, but won’t tell her parents. Tonya wants Angelique to date a BMW, “Black Man Working,” but she fears Reggie does not fit the bill. Hence, the secrecy.

Out to dinner, Briana and Matt Ericson [Grundhoffer] talk about Briana’s self defense class, which she felt empowered by. In the strangest scripted by Lifetime segue ever, Briana says the self defense class reminded her of Christy. Who is dead to her. (Remember? Good. Because Briana really, really wants us to know this!) Briana maintains that she is not following Terra’s lead; she’s making up her own fierce mama mind! Matt says he wants to see Briana go out with the entire group and have fun, despite who’s there. (Was he given these lines courtesy of Lifetime’s HR department?!) Briana hopes that land sailing will be the time to test that theory.

At DWTS practice, Terra is frustrated that she won’t be able to live up to Sasha Farber’s expectations. For all of her faults, she does put in a major effort on that dance floor, and is an incredible example of overcoming challenges to compete. She confesses to Tonya and Elena, who visit her on set, that she’s also feeling excluded among the contestant group. She feels like they might not take her seriously as a competitor, which depresses her. Her postpartum body, hormones, and lack of sleep are also dragging her down, which is only natural. Tonya and Elena are sympathetic.

Tonya reminds Terra that she is a serious competitor – she’s got this! Elena knows that most people don’t know what little people are capable of, so this is a chance to show them. It’s going to be alright, mama. Terra does have some good news for the girls though: She wants them to come to the first DWTS show! They all cheer.

At Tonya’s house, Angelique is bringing Eddie over for his interrogation introduction. Tonya and Kerwin go in guns blazing immediately, asking “Are you having SEX?” right out of the gate. After recovering from that nightmare, Eddie confesses that he does see Angelique as marriage material. He’s serious about her, which Tonya hopes is a good thing. He also has a car and a job, which are even better things.

At a playland with their kids, Jasmine Sorge, Chris, and Briana hang out. Jasmine gets real with Briana: She’s disappointed in how immature she and Terra acted at the retreat by not agreeing to be teamed up with Christy for any of the “bonding” activities. Briana says that just being there was enough, which is laughable and pathetic. But what about Christy’s apology? Briana says it wasn’t good enough. She will never be satisfied, and that’s that. Briana’s massive ego about her righteous indignation is not about to shrink. And a pregnant, exhausted Jasmine is not about to care anymore. She might be seeing the light when it comes to Briana and her delusional stubbornness – finally!

Kerwin and Tonya get their mini golf on, discussing their relationship along the way. Tonya admits it was tough at first, but things have improved considerably since then. Kerwin admits he misses Texas, but he’s feeling more at home each day. They’d both like to buy a new home together, though, to make a fresh start. They vow to do so with a kiss.

Time for land sailing! Jasmine is already in a sour mood, being 7 months pregnant in the desert. She doesn’t even know if she can partake in the activities due to her delicate state, nor does Christy, whose neck issues prevent her from this kind of thing. As the rest of the gang arrives, Terra tries her best to be cordial to Christy, which is a vast improvement over the past 16 episodes. We’ll take it! She is freaked out that this land sailing might be moto-cross 2.0…and we all know how that turned out.

Terra ends up loving it, though, as do the other ladies (minus Jasmine), and nobody flips their sh*t! So, it’s a win! And there’s extra hilarity when Tonya is left motionless and windless, with no “heffas” in sight to help her. THESE are the scenes we need more of! But before we have too much fun, it’s time for another Christy confrontation, brought to us courtesy of Terra.

Admitting that she’s not innocent in their ongoing issues, Terra tells Christy that she just doesn’t want to fight anymore. If only for the sake of the group, who needs to move forward. Christy suspects Terra’s motives are not pure. Is she being fake? Christy might never know, but she claims to “have an open heart” about it all. Hmm. Yet her stank face doesn’t quite read “open heart” to me. It reads more like “I smell fish farts.” Still – progress, people! PROGRESS!!

Back in the shade, Tonya leads the girls in a toast. But Elena still thinks there’s unfinished business, as does Jasmine. They’re sick of this immature crap, but they have no control over changing it. Terra wonders why they are so obsessed with problems that don’t concern them? Terra, as producer of this show, should know that problems within a margin of the group affect the whole of the group. And more importantly, the fate of her beloved show.

Let’s just hope Terra can put her big girl panties on for season 6 and show us what this mysterious “moving forward” actually looks like. As for Briana, man. I am officially OUT on that chick! Some people are past the point of reason and, I fear, she is one of them. No words.

In farewell nods to each lady, we’re told that Jasmine’s pregnancy gets complicated, as she develops gestational diabetes (ugh – not fun). Tonya is still working on her Lil’ Boss Body active wear line, and locking Kerwin down as her cave man. Briana is still trying to “rebuild her marriage with Matt” <dry heave> and remains friends with Terra. But she ain’t about to give Christy her phone number yet!

Since filming, Christy is focusing on her family, not her frenemies. Elena launched her “Little Palettes” makeup line – and she might be ready to launch into another pregnancy soon! Lastly, Terra is busy competing in DWTS. And trying to make “D’Artanyan” happen.

And, that’s a wrap on season five! Oh, season six, please hear my prayer: Let there be multiple interesting, unique storylines unfold before us, not just one that gets beaten senseless over the head for five straight months until we’re all ready to commit group suicide. Pretty please! It’s not too much to ask after suffering through what we have, is it? Amen.

TELL US: WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE FINALE – AND OF SEASON 5? WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO SEE ADDRESSED AT THE REUNION?
