Real Housewives Of Orange County Reunion Part 2 Recap: Shannon 1 & Shannon 2

Last night was part 2 of the Real Housewives Of Orange County reunion. Shannon Beador found herself behaving like a real-live normal woman for a change.

Part one of the reunion ended with Kelly Dodd screaming into the phone and crying. Part 2 opened with Vicki Gunvalson apologizing for repeating a rumor she heard about Kelly  using cocaine. While that is all nice and good, we know that Vicki’s apology is as sincere as the one Kelly gave for calling Vicki a “pig” and a “fat ass.” Shannon, however, ermerges as the unlikely voice of reason when she points out that the negativity and tit for tat is really hitting too low and isn’t making either woman feel (or look) good. And no amount of plastic surgery erases a bad attitude!

Speaking of, this is Shannon 2.0! As I said last week the divorced Shannon we wanted to see all season was represented at the reunion last night. She is sanguine, mature, and together as she discusses her painful divorce. She admits her therapist has been coaching her to be “less reactive.” Baby steps, baby steps away from the outburst of Jamaica. And everywhere else Shannon has ever trod…

David Beador and his 30-something girlfriend Lesley have moved into a 6-bedroom house in a super exclusive community. Meanwhile, Shannon is reduced to squatting in a 4,000 square foot hole. There is a rumor that Lesley pregnant. I immediately hit-up Lesley’s Instagram to stalk a little and I can’t tell anything, but I wouldn’t put it past her #PenisFlyTrap Instead of having a break down, Shannon calmly admits she has never met Lesley but, “If someone is good to my kids, then I’m good with it.” This newly adult Shannon is saving all of her outbursts and wrath for Tamra Judge. As always (and as it should be)!

Shannon is also trying to give her daughters space when they’re with David because she doesn’t want to end up like Tamra and you know who: the daughter who does not want to be mentioned on Real Housewives Of Orange County. Nevertheless,  Tamra cannot stop discussing or mentioning her daughter and the fact that she doesn’t want to be mentioned on the show. Yeah her. Also, David got angry when Shannon tried to pry into his domestic situation and she doesn’t want anything negatively affecting a future custody agreement. Aren’t Shannon’s kids about ready to move out? Anyway, Shannon is done being negative about her fat rolls, her singleness. Now, she is excited to date, be free, and experience an unexpected life. With Vicki by her side instead of Tamra. So it’s two divorces one stone.

Fun Shannon was definitely present and accounted for – take that Gina Kirschenyourhairatemybaby! – when she laughed at her drunken and embarrassing antics in Mexico. “I thought a chihuahua was Archie,” she jokes about not remembering even going to a taco stand – or hopping into a hot tub wearing a red bra outside her shirt!

Shannon may be laughing through her tears because David has also been viewing Real Housewives Of Orange County to use against her in their endless divorce.  “It’s not admissible,” Tamra assures. She has been there done that with Simon Barney trying – and unfortunately failing – to make an example of her atrocious behavior. Emily Simpson concurs though that girl’s trip behavior does not legally equate to mom life behavior.

Since Andy Cohen owes it to Emily to treat her as more than the hired legal help, he turns the attention to everyone hating on her husband Shane Simpson. Gina who is clearly looking for attention – as if her sequined dress and neon makeup aren’t loud enough, immediately makes this her argument by calling out Shannon for comparing Shane to David.

This is really Gina deflecting though, because she is the one who repeated Shannon’s words to Emily, prompting Emily to confront – or “attack” if you’re Shannon (and sometimes Kelly) – during the golf day. Oh please – Emily did not attack Shannon! She explained her position and did not yell. Are these Housewives so immune to actual conversations they can’t recognize normalcy? This is a problem. They need a conversation therapy back to real-reality.

Then Gina shouts the dreaded words “Own it!” and everyone’s heads explode in a thousand pounds of hair gel, botox, and false eyelashes. I don’t really understand Gina’s intentions at this reunion. She has so much acrimony, which seems super underserved, towards Shannon. The problem is that she’s still fighting Tamra’s battles.

Gina should just admit that she doesn’t like Shannon instead of poking at her constantly with those awful talons while rolling her eyes like a seventeen-year-old. She’s worse than Shannon’s daughters, who are well-equipped to deal with the pre-therapy reactive Shannon and know how to placate her while acting as de facto counselors and pals.

This really is a reunion of bad men though, because we have to devote an inordinate amount of time to Shane and whether or not Emily unjustly defends him, or if he’s like David or Simon or a tiny little dictator living in Emily’s pocket. I really don’t care, and I really don’t get why everyone is making this such an issue. Of course, Emily will defend her husband. After all, she doesn’t want to risk living in a condo and driving a Jetta by pissing Pary off!

The person who definitely cannot own anything – maybe even less than Vicki is Tamra. When Emily says Tamra hurt her feelings by saying she was “concerned” for Emily because of Shane, Tamra immediately turns it into how Emily lied that one girls night about needing to get home for her kids when instead she went out with her real friends. Emily insists she was actually meeting Shane’s ex-wife to discuss custody. BUT WHO CARES?

RELATED: Real Housewives Of Orange County: Bruised Friendships

Who hasn’t begged off a lame get together with a psychic matchmaker when you want to go home, put on sweats, and watch some Poldark on Masterpiece Theater instead? Who wants to listen to Tamra act like the foremost authority on marital stability while inching her way to a third divorce. As Andy mentioned for all Shane’s faults, Emily is currently the Housewife with the longest standing marriage.

What’s shocking is that this marriage came about on GChat and a Mormon prayer. Even though Emily, their children and no one else in Shane’s family is Mormon, and he was converted by his childhood neighbors. This guy is a psychological puzzle that belongs in a Ph.D. class on abnormal psychology. Which is ironically also Kelly’s number one reason why she’d need to test out the waters before diving into marriage. i.e. what if he’s working with Mormon underwear a Vienna sausage?

What’s worse than Shane though is all the body shaming Emily received from viewers who derided her for not being Tamra-sized. That’s terrible. And super disappointing. Seriously – what the f*ck, people? Aren’t we past this as a society?

Last, but certainly least desirable, we must discuss Tamra’s ‘storylines’ this season. And by Tamra’s storylines, we mean Eddie Judge and Shannon’s storylines. I mean, the only thing Tamra had going on was a fractured foot.

Eddie has seen a world-renown heart specialist. They learned his heart condition probably existed for his entire life, but now he’s finally on the mend. This presumably means the primate pornography exhibit is open at the zoo. Another development is that Tamra and Vicki are now neighbors, or “within casserole walking distance” as Andy put it. Tamra has moved behind the gates of Coto. Whoop it up and get smothered in melted cheese.

RELATED: Real Housewives Of Orange County: Don’t GO Chasing Waterfalls

Tamra and Shannon, however, are not presently on speaking terms. Shannon, predictably, was furious and hurt after seeing the show and was most upset by “the water incident”. As a result, she wasn’t invited to Tamra’s birthday. Vicki also didn’t attend because she felt Kelly was too scary and unpredictable around alcohol. So, good to know Kelly isn’t just crazy when cameras are around! (Shut up Vicki).

Tamra is equally angry after Shannon 1.0 after a recent New York trip. Shannon was absolutely horrible to Tamra and her makeup artist Melissa. She was so selfish making Melissa do her eye makeup and they missed their dinner reservation. Errrrmmmm…, yeah, that’s bad.

Shannon acknowledges that when their friendship has serious issues – like Tamra talking shit about Shannon on national TV – they don’t discuss it. Tamra blames Shannon for not calling her out like a good friend would, which is a complete and utter lie. Tamra is constantly trying to use Shannon (and Vicki for that matter). She wants to make herself look sane and saintly as compared to crazy and demonic friend.

No one believes for a hot second that Tamra would react kindly to being “called out”! She would turn into a viper so venomous she’d track down your ex-wife then call her during a televised reunion to paint you as a deadbeat (OK Slade Smiley was a deadbeat, but you get my drift!) Tamra would hire a psychic wannabe pop star to see visions that your sketchy boyfriend was faking cancer. She would even conspire with your daughter to expose him – and you!

RELATED: Real Housewives Of Orange County: The Saving Of Shannon Beador

Anyway, as much as it pains me, I do think Tamra has many valid points about Shannon’s selfishness. Tamra did try to talk to Shannon as much as she also tried to talk about her. The main crux of Tamra’s wrath is that Shannon was constantly dumping on Tamra about being single, divorced, and alone when she was actually dating the entire season and hiding it from cameras. Shannon insists he was another scum bag, and it wasn’t a serious relationship.

Shannon is selfish. When she has something going on it dominates all aspects of her life and blinds her with self-obsession. I actually believe Tamra that Shannon wasn’t checking in on Eddie because she was so distracted by her own issues.

Tamra feels like she has no voice in their friendship and can’t be honest. Which is true! Gina claims that Shannon expects Tamra to hide her reality – like pretending to be single while she’s dating. This is coming from the woman who was hiding her separation when she joined the show… I dunno Gina, like that’s the pot calling the kettle black. But likewise, Shannon is completely called outdo can always tell because she responds with “wow.” Which she did when Tamra confirmed she was dating all season.

In this brouhaha, Kelly isn’t sure who defend. Like she knew she was supposed to be Team Shannon, but her loyalty was whipping around faster than a dog playing tug of war because not being Team Tamra is scary as hell. Satan is confusing, right!

90 Day Fiance Recap: Ready To Run

There is so much toxic waste to sift through on this week’s 90 Day Fiance. We need to jump right into the garbage pile and start sorting. Dang! Have you ever seen such dysfunction laid bare for all the world to see? (That is, until Love After Lockup returns this Friday – set your DVRs for WEtv 8 CST/9 EST!). The only word for it is lunacy.  

We can’t truly begin to snark on the lesser crazies before addressing the most disturbing situation of last night’s show. This involved a TRULY SCARY Steven berating the mother of his child while she attempted to breastfeed their newborn baby. Seriously, Steven needs to be voted off the island – like right now. THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN.

Days after returning home from the hospital, Steven is still in full tilt psycho mode. After a botched attempt at taking a car ride to a “fancy park” far away, Steven sulks. Then, he runs a few errands. He fills prescriptions, picks up food, and generally does the tasks required of all new dads while Olga feeds and cares for baby Richie. Navigating foreign stores and strange money is no small feat. Steven manages to come home with what they need. There’s only one problem: HE WANTS A F**KIN PARADE THROWN IN HIS HONOR. Yep, guys. Steven’s not being properly thanked enough for all of the “really hard stuff” he’s doing. So he decides to complain to Olga.

Just to recap: Olga has literally been cut open with a scalpel at that Russian Asylum Hospital. She is raging with postpartum hormones and is breastfeeding for the first time on practically no sleep. She has no parents, no family, and will be doing all of this on her own in a few short weeks when Steven flies back to his tough life of skateboards, graffiti, and couch surfing in Ocean City. Steven, on the other hand, has to run errands. All together now…poooooooor Steven!  <sniff>

Later on, as Steven lays into Olga about how she’s not putting their relationship first because she “only cares about the baby.” Olga listens in shock, then breaks down in tears of frustration. The baby can’t even breastfeed anymore because she’s so upset, so he starts crying too, which sets Steven off even more. “I have to go clear my head!” he shouts, running outside to swing on the playground that’s meant for whiny children his age.

Back inside, Steven resumes his litany of accusations, gaslighting Olga at every opportunity. He wants her to pay attention to HIM. Steven wants her to be nice to HIM. He wants her to change HIS DIAPER. Because the biggest effing baby in this room is definitely not Richie. Turning it all around on Olga, Steven accuses her of “constantly arguing” and replicating the toxic home life he came from. He’s also straight up jealous of his own baby, even though he denies it. This is toxic beyond belief.

Confused and quietly enraged, Olga apologizes to him (UGH!), but wants to know why he’s turning his sh*t around on her. Because that’s what abusive manipulators do, Olga. Sadly, it’s looking like Steven is beyond hope – unless he gets into deep, deep therapy very soon. Olga seems to understand this in her interview as well. She notes that Steven needs to work on himself before they have any chance of working on their relationship together. Ugh. Save Olga! Save baby Richie!!!!!

Colt & Larissa

Speaking of toxic, let’s take a quick peek at Colt and Larissa’s clusterf**k of a relationship! Since Larissa didn’t get her biggie car or cheapie couch, she’s hoping Colt at least rents her a less slot-machiney house. Colt obviously has no plans of spending one red cent on a new, fancy apartment for Larissa. He takes her to tour one anyway just to wave it in front of her face. Meanwhile, Larissa waves a handicapped parking sign in front of her face to battle the hellfire inside Colt’s un-airconditioned car. #DesperateMeasures

As they tour an upscale loft space, Larissa squeals with delight. “It is my dream to live here!” she cheers. But the one-bedroom apartment can’t accommodate Debbie, so Colt can’t make a decision yet. He needs to talk to MOTHER.

Larissa doesn’t like living with Debbie, who she describes as a cat – silent, sneaky, and appearing out of nowhere “to ruin your life.” “I no want to live with Debbie!” Larissa complains. But Colt reminds her that his Norman Bates living situation shouldn’t come as a surprise to her. She knew he was a mama’s boy when she signed up for this particular path to a green card. Larissa has no recourse at  the present time except to upgrade her choice of hand-held fans in the car on the way home. She won’t be getting any other kind of upgrade anytime soon.

Back home, Colt and Larissa tell Debbie about the apartment they toured, which comes as a complete shock. Through gritted teeth. She tells them she’ll find a place in a senior living center if they want to move out on their own. Colt is visibly pained to hear this. He’s been living with his mom for 33 years. Since she’s the only family he has left, he feels responsible for her. Plus – where’s he gonna get those hot, steaming cauldrons of beef stew if Debbie moves out? Larissa just smirks and rolls her eyes, knowing the groundwork for a coup has begun. Bwahahahahaa!

Damn. Colt better be careful here. I mean, he decided to go trolling for brides outside of his wheelhouse/species – so he got what he paid for, plain and simple. And Larissa has dreams, people! Dreams that she’s not going to let die of because of some pesky lifelong allegiance to mothers and such. Ahhhhh. What happens to a dream deferred? Well, it goes nuts on Instagram, then gets arrested. THAT’S WHAT.

Ashley & Jay

After they very maturely make up from their silly argument about Jay leaving the house without “permission,” Ashley and Jay head out to look at their wedding venue – a beautiful rustic barn that Ashley has already reserved for the big day. She’s done all the wedding planning, so their 90 days together could be hassle-free. Jay is just happy there will be a dance floor. Weddings in Jamaica aren’t an opulent affair, he says, so all he truly cares about is having fun on their big day.

But those hopes of carefree fun are dashed when Ashley starts getting a flurry of messages from friends and family reporting that there have been hundreds of heinous, racist, and evening life-threatening comments posted on the the couple’s wedding website. As she scrolls through the hateful posts – some of which she reads to Jay, and are so disgusting that I refuse to even give them repeated life in this recap – Jay sits there, stunned.

Sadly, he thinks this is all his fault, which Ashley immediately refutes. This is not Jay’s fault in ANY way, shape, or form! Ashley can’t believe someone would have so much hate in his/her/their heart to go to the trouble of harassing strangers with their racist tirade. But she now – understandably – feels totally apprehensive about a big, public wedding. Could someone walk in and shoot the place up? Sadly, it’s not out of the realm of possibility.

Jay doesn’t know what to think. “This has never happened to me before,” he says. It’s such a disgusting example of how a few hateful sons of b*tches can literally ruin lives with their cowardly, dangerous posts. Damn. This is sickening.

Jonathan & Fernanda

After a chilly reception from Mother Jonathan, Fernanda holds out hope that she’ll join her to try on wedding dresses anyway. Jonathan’s sister tags along, which is a sweet show of support, and after much TLC “tense waiting scene” editing, Mom finally does show. She’s still in shock about this wedding being real, but sits her butt down on a bench to watch Fernanda try on dresses anyway.

Jon’s sister knows her mom is freaking the frack out, but they do their best to “ooh” and “ahh” at Fernanda’s dresses. Although they still think it’s absolutely crazy for a 19-year old to get married, what can they do? In Mother Jonathan’s case, she’ll just have to plunge her head between her knees, hyperventilate, and pray. She literally does this every single time Fernanda heads back to the dressing room.

Finally, Mom’s walls crumble a bit when Fernanda comes out in her “Jackie O” dress – her favorite. She breaks down in tears about her own mother not being there. She misses her family in Mexico terribly. It’s at this moment that Jonathan’s mom seems to realize just how vulnerable and alone Fernanda really is. She runs up to hug her in what seems like a genuine moment of affection and support, and Fernanda is grateful.

Aww. Maybe this family will be okay after all? It’s not like you’re losing a son, Mother Jonathan! You’re gaining a daughter! (Who accidentally posts photos of your son’s junk on Instagram…whoops.)

Eric & Leida

Still high from their hideous treatment of Tasha, Eric and Leida decide to head out and about to torture the remaining citizenry of Baraboo. Leida wants us to remember that she is RICH and Eric is POOR. In fact, her previous wedding allegedly cost her family $300k for 2,000 guests. Yes, we heard that right: TWO THOUSAND GUESTS. In contrast, her wedding with Eric will cost only a motel rental fee, a few floral wreaths, and her dignity.

The wedding venue is a typical conference room/collapsible walls/industrial carpeted situation. For obvious reasons, Leida hates it. “It’s quite plain,” she tells Eric, who’s already been beaten down so low, there’s nothing left to do but look haggard and grunt. Leida hopes the florist can help – but not so fast! It turns out Eric’s budget of $400 won’t cover much more than a centerpiece and some broken carnations flung around the room.

This is not okay, in Leida’s opinion. When she shows pics of her $300k wedding to the florist, she’s practically laughed out of the shop. What’s Eric left to do but double the budget to $800 in a Hail Mary attempt to PUT IT IN PROPER? Leida squeals with delight, the florist congratulates them on their new fancy budget, and off they go.

The third stop of their #DreamCrushingTour is Century House, a verrrrrrrry pricey Scandinavian furniture store that Eric has absolutely no business stepping foot in – like, ever. But Leida would like a real couch and a bed in her life, so he pretends to look at furniture with his bride-to-be, all along the way saying NO to everything she likes. Finally, Leida leaves the store in a huff. It’s here that we see the monster rear her ugly head again.

“We have Tasha living with us, you pay f**king child support!” she screams at Eric in the parking lot. “When will it be MY turn?!?” Eric defends his child support payments as “the way we do things in this country – we don’t turn our back on our children!” As a reminder, this is coming from the guy who tried to kick his own daughter out of HER apartment last week by sending her to a budget motel.

Leida whines that she doesn’t CARE what the law is here – “I don’t like it!!!” She threatens to just end things with Eric now, feeling like she’s been lied to about everything. She wants her daddy back! Leida wants her maids back! She wants a couch that doesn’t deflate every 4 hours! Spoiler alert: She won’t be getting any of that swell sh*t with Eric. And at this point, she doesn’t have much of a choice in the matter.

Kalani & Asuelu

Kalani is still side-eyeing the man she transported from another dimension to live in the industrialized world, so she’s calling in the backup squad: Mom and Sister Kolini. As they accompany her to try on wedding dresses, both mom and sister look on while Kalini practically has a full blown panic attack in the bridal shop.

She isn’t ready to get married to Asuelu. Hell – she isn’t ready to let Asuelu alone with his big boy bike yet! And she certainly doesn’t trust him with Oliver, whom she constantly refers to as “MY son,” rather than “our son.” Mom says that Kalani has always had trouble with commitment. Kolini thinks Asuelu is the real problem here. She plans on grilling him at brunch later to get to the bottom of it.

Let the interrogation begin! At brunch, Kolini asks Asuelu a series of ICE-approved questions. What do you think of America? When you met Kalani, were you happy she was an American? Did you have plans to come to America before meeting her? WHERE IS THE BOMB! WHO ARE YOU HIDING IN YOUR SUITCASE?!? Asuelu does his best to answer correctly, but does admit that there’s a culture clash, especially when it comes to relationships with family. He doesn’t think Kalani likes his family much, and it’s obvious that Family Kalani hates his sarong-wearing, coconut-cracking arse.

But wait – plot twist! Kalani tells Kolini that she doesn’t like Asuelu’s brother because, when Skyping with him the other day, he said to Asuelu “when you’re done with her, let me take a turn.” OMGOMGOMGOMG – whaaaaaaaaaa? <screaming emoji face> So, Asuelu’s brother is a dirtbag? Is our beloved Asuelu a dirtbag too? WHAT. IS. HAPPENING. HERE.

The side eye Kolini gives Asuelu is all of us right now. As Kalani cries, Asuelu walks off in a huff – with the car seat perched on his head. #YouCanTakeAManOffOfTheIsland

Kolini pleads with Kalani to reconsider her options. She doesn’t have to marry this man, even if she is connected to him for life as the father of their child. Kalani doesn’t know what to do. But one thing seems clear: We don’t know the whole truth about Asuelu yet. All we know for sure is that he 1) likes living in a house with walls, 2) doesn’t understand how car seats work, and 3) his boohole hurts.

Real Housewives Of Orange County Reunion Tonight: Tamra & Shannon At Odds; Vicki & Kelly’s Feud Continues

Why are we even having a Real Housewives of Orange County reunion? Well, maybe we do need one, but not one in multiple parts. Long story short, the Real Housewives of Orange County cast did not come through this season.

However, the first part of the RHOC reunion was better than the whole season. Let’s just hope the same holds true for the second.

All season long, we had to watch the dysfunction of Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador’s toxic friendship. Who do you side with? Tamra has been stressed out with her husband’s heart problems. Shannon’s life is chronically falling apart. Shannon’s neediness and self-absorbed behavior overwhelmed Tamra. Tamra talked shit about Shannon all season to anyone who would listen. It all kind of comes out in the wash, doesn’t it? It’s tough to have sympathy for either of them.

As expected, Vicki Gunvalson and Kelly Dodd continue with the low blows. Vicki accused Kelly of doing cocaine and said that she doesn’t spend time with her own daughter during the first reunion episode. Once again, Vicki takes the allegations too far and has zero remorse. And of course, Kelly is going to unleash some venomous responses.

RELATED: Real Housewives Of Orange County Reunion Trailer: Vicki Accuses Kelly Of Doing Coke

Does Emily Simpson’s husband Shane Simpson make an appearance? It doesn’t seem like it. Thank God. However, he is a topic of conversation. Yet again. If the cast is talking more about a Real House Husband than a Real Housewife, that’s a sign that we need some new Real Housewives on this show.

Will the Real Housewives of Orange County ladies entertain us with their bickering? Or will they bore the loyal fans to death? There’s only one way to find out. Well, there’s two. You can read up about it after the fact or you can tune in. The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13 reunion is on tonight at 9 PM on Bravo.

New Real Housewives Of Atlanta Tonight: Kandi Is Still Talking About Porsha’s Man

This season of Real Housewives of Atlanta is off to a slow start. A very slow start. Pretty much nothing has happened, but that’s how it goes when they fire the dramatic cast members.

Now we are subjected to Eva Marcille and Shamari DeVoe desperately grasping for their peaches with thinly laid shade and events no one cares about. Porsha Williams’ life is moving forward at lightning speed. Of course, Kandi Burruss “knows of” her new man Dennis McKinley. She knows everyone in Atlanta, haven’t you heard? Kandi has some not-so-piping tea to spill on Dennis and his (alleged) romantic past/present.

During tonight’s Real Housewives of Atlanta episode, we will be subjected to Kandi talking about Dennis. Again. She wants to know if she should share the gossip she’s heard with Porsha. They are trying to patch up their friendship after Porsha spread rumors that Kandi wanted to date rape her, yet Kandi is the one walking on eggshells. Makes sense? Nevertheless, they are both on this show, so they have to hang out and/or talk shit about each other’s lives.

Eva’s mother visits to make her cry help with wedding planning. No one cares. We barely “know” Eva. She walked on in the middle of last season as a “Friend of the Housewives.” This season, she’s just trying way too hard to be shady. At this point, it’s just too soon to be invested in her wedding.

Speaking of things no one cares about, Shamari reveals more about her previously open relationship with her husband. But again, why does this matter? They are not currently in an open relationship, therefore, it’s irrelevant. Nonetheless, Shamari is determined to offer as many interesting soundbites as she can so she can secure her peach for next season. But will it work?

RELATED: Real Housewives Of Atlanta Recap: Pass The Pits

Also, Shamari holds a birthday party for her twins. There’s no way she was going to spend $900 on twin cakes and not televise this party. Why does a one-year-old child need a $450 cake, let alone two of them? Yes, I know she has two babies, but it’s still excessive.

Will the drama for Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 11 finally pick up? Let’s hope so! Either way, we know that the faithful fans will tune in no matter what, even if it’s just to hate on the show for going downhill. Real Housewives of Atlanta is on tonight on Bravo at 8 PM.

90 Day Fiance Preview: Who Will Make It To The Altar?

The drama on tonight’s 90 Day Fiance looks intense, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Well – except in the case of Steven and Olga, whose situation is going from bad to Please someone save Olga and baby Richie from this toxic nightmare right this minute!!!

The cringe-worthy arguments and gaslighting continue in Russia, while back in the U.S., the other couples start rethinking plans for their wedding days.

Ashley and Jay are in a better place, but must face pressures from the outside world when they discover horrific, racist posts from an anonymous source on their wedding registry website.

Kalani reconsiders her options when her sister and mother accompany her to try on wedding dresses. She’s not ready to marry Asuelu, and he might not be as innocent as we’ve been led to believe.

Also trying on wedding dresses is Fernanda, who’s missing her own mother terribly. Will Jonathan’s mom and sister step in as her support system now? Or will they make Fernanda’s wedding planning experience even more miserable?

Married to Medicine Recap: Sleep Numbers Gone!

On this week’s episode of Married To Medicine, Gregory “Greg” Lunceford makes an appearance at guy’s night. He has some shocking things to say about his side of the divorce. Ironically, many of his claims differ from those made by his soon to be ex-wife Quad Webb-Lunceford. I can’t wait to see exactly whose side is the most believable. Forget the divorce, I have been giving the marriage the side eye for a while so this should be interesting.

Simone Whitmore hangs out with the family. They discuss what needs to happen when they move back into one house together after being separated for some time.  Her husband, Cecil Whitmore even volunteers to give Simone his closet and use one in another room. I’m glad they are finally moving back together. I never understood the concept of a North and a South house. It just seemed like a recipe to drift further and further apart. They both admit that since returning from the couple’s trip in Antigua (and Simone kicking Cecile’s bestie, Tammy to the curb) their marriage has been in a good place.

Heavenly Kimes goes to visit Quad in her new bachelorette pad. Quad feels like her separation from Greg has shown her who her real friends are, namely Heavenly has stepped up a friend. She feels like some of the people who she thought she was close to surprised her. She didn’t mention any names, but I think she is definitely hinting at Simone. Frankly, I don’t blame Simone for being turned off by Quad, she has always come across as over-dramatic and fake to me. I understand she is going through a divorce, but it is ironic you have time to talk to and see certain friends, but made excuses when Simone and others reached to check on you. While there, Heavenly even gives Quad some of her questionable relationship advice.

Simone goes to Jackie Walters’ house to help her with one of her couple’s therapy assignments. Her therapist, Dr. Ken, told Jackie to make her husband Curtis Berry, “king” for a day. Apparently, two people weren’t enough to cook a meal. Heavenly came over to help her out. Heavenly takes issue with the  ”king for the day” theme. She thinks wives should treat their husbands like a king every day. Sorry Heavenly, but not everyone wants to call their husband “daddy” and hide all of their issues.

Toya Bush-Harris and Eugene Harris visit the construction site for their new home.  As they are touring the structure, Toya realizes that she may not get her dream two-story closet. She just about has a fit during the discussion, but in normal Eugene fashion, he tries to be practical and compromise so that his wife is happy. They may not have space for a wine cellar anymore, but at least Toya will have plenty of space for her ill-fitting clothes. Hopefully, Uncle Sam is paid (this time) and this will be their forever home.

Curtis comes home to a meal fit for a king and Jackie playing the role of his servant, in a fitted bodysuit. Jackie has figured out that she has to have a work/life balance in order to have a happy home. It definitely makes Curtis happy that Jackie is finally playing the Stepford wife and catering to him. Given the whole cheating scandal, I don’t know how king-like he truly is, but nonetheless, I am glad they are in a better place.

Heavenly goes to her therapy session (that looks like it’s being held in a funeral home). She revisits her childhood memories to get to the root of some of her issues. Heavenly realizes her anger towards Mariah Huq had nothing to do with her. Instead, it had everything to do with her unresolved issues with her sister. She decides it is time to actually talk to her like an adult and get to a place of forgiveness. Let’s just hope there are no “Yo mama” references and Mariah doesn’t break another glass on a chair.

Simone and Cecil decide to host a “Mi casa es su casa” party for the group to reveal a surprise to everyone. The party is off to a good start, Mariah and Heavenly actually greet one another and smile without the veil of a threat. The surprise is revealed… Simone and Cecil are in one house and their marriage is on track. They have come a long way, just a year ago they were on the brink of a divorce.

Cecil is just happy that his wife is finally having sex with him. The men go down to the basement and are greeted by female bartenders in sparkly halter tops. Heavenly and Contessa Metcalfe go down to check on the men. Heavenly makes a scene and asks why “Daddy” has a front row seat at the bar with the bartenders. Subsequently, she and Contessa go back upstairs and inform the other women about is going on downstairs with their husbands.

Things take a turn for the worse, or for the usual, when an argument ensues. Toya announces that the couples trips should only be for couples. Quad, of course, takes offense, given her newly single status. She questions Toya’s proclamation and wonders who gave her the right to decide that. Quad lets everyone know she will be around for trips and everything else. She wants to learn from the other relationships. Meanwhile, the guys discuss feeling bad because Greg has been left out.

The guys go out for a guy’s night at Top Golf. Unfortunately, Aydin Huq can’t make it to the gathering. Curtis says he is happy since he tells his wife, Mariah, everything. Hmmm… Curtis, maybe if you told your wife everything you wouldn’t have been involved with another woman and almost divorced. Greg shows up to join the fun. All the guys let him know that they’ve missed him. Greg reveals that he returned home to an empty house that Quad cleared out. He was extra hurt when he realized she even took his sleep number bed. Wow… Quad you are cold blooded… you didn’t leave the man a place to sleep.

The guys ask if they ever talked things out before it got to the point of a divorce. Greg says he only received a text telling him to check the mail. When he looked, he saw divorce papers. I can’t say I am surprised for seasons we watched the awkward interactions between the couple.

Honestly, Quad seemed like she hated Greg in many scenes. She claims it is a result of him cheating. I don’t know what to believe, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we find out she only married him to improve her financial and social standing in Atlanta. Nonetheless, two out of three marriages have been saved. You can’t win them all. I don’t care how many times she cries on cue and completes a dramatic monologue, Quad seems to be happier hosting “Sister Circle” and not having to endure Greg.
