Ive said it before and Ill say it 280,000 times again these women are the best characters on television.
Im constantly floored by just how much were getting from these Housewives.
Any other Housewife would be out there trying to keep everything together, but not the ladies of Potomac.
Their messy-ass lives keep getting in the way and they just roll with it!
Robyn owes $90,000 and shes just living life.
Ashleys husband is full of trash but shes out there twerking in the streets to a marching band.
Can you imagine the levels of spin and projection wed be getting on another franchise?
I did some googling and Surry, VA is a town of 262 people.
You know a town is small as hell when their official census count doesnt contain a comma.
Theres only two sections on the town Wikipedia page.
They dont even have a Famous Residents section to include Karen in.
This is somehow something theyve decided to do now, and Karen is taking Ashley and Gizelle along.
Ashley and Gizelle are mostly amazed that Karen has a farm-based backstory.
I honestly would have guessed that Karen sprung forth fully formed from a Lord & Taylor dressing room.
Can you phone it in even for a moment, Ray?
Youre in front of her friends.
I guess you dont care if they talk about you the entire car ride.
She invites Robyn over to sit down and chat about everything thats been playing on repeat in her head.
She put strawberries under a glass dome to serve to her friend.
Never change, Candiace.
Apparently, Karen has given Candiace the advice that she should press charges against Monique and, yeah?
Yeah, do that.
Id love to see it.
And Candiace smoothly transitions the conversation to asking Robyn about the $90,000 she owes to the IRS.
I love the video insert of Robyn talking to her accountant being like Oh, so its bad?
I should not have done this?
And by this I mean filing bankruptcy for several years while doing my own taxes?
That was the thing I should not have done?
All Robyns accountant can say is Girl, I guess not!
Now theres a federal tax lien on Robyn.
Im not even sure WHAT that means but its so incredibly not good but Robyn is just like Whoopsie-doodles!
The gals in Surry have made it to the farm and this is actually very sweet.
It also raises the question of what Karens real age is.
She says shes in her 50s but… is she?
They all head inside and sit down with her Aunt Carlene and her cousin Valerie.
My moms middle name is a variation of Carl and I have a Cousin Val.
Thats what unites us all.
Karens family starts sharing pictures and stories of lil Karen.
She convinced herself at a young age that she was going to marry Michael Jackson.
The delusions began so early.
Its really a sweet scene and Gizelle says its refreshing to see Karen drop the Grand Dame act.
Duh, you havent long-rested after that boss battle, Monique.
Karen says she definitely gave Candiace the advice to press charges.
Wendy, Im not entirely sure thats a whole job.
You could be an author and also a political commentator.
Once you leave your professorship, what is it going to say in that little box on the TV?
Okay, Wendys sister is a surgeon and Wendy has a Ph.D. Two doctors.
She does a little roleplay with her sister as her mom and its mostly just disapproving noises.
Theres nothing more to say.
Were back in Surry, VA for the homecoming parade.
Karen is going to be sitting on a Bentley waving at the denizens.
All of these women are just Betty Draper deep down.
Karen also picks up a random baby and just rides with it for a little bit.
Karen is reacting EMOTIONALLY to the church.
She heads into the other room and breaks down in tears with the deacon.
And her mic is still on.
This show shows us so much!
The peepshow of life!
The tears of a Karen!
It was a beauty to behold.
Youre used to orchestrating and dominating.
He says that in her mind, shes nonpareil.
I want him on every episode.
They are not impressed with your perfection and that causes you disdain!!!!
He clearly says that its not Candiaces fault but something Monique has to reconcile.
I have been waiting for this pastor.
Monique breaks down and says, It has nothing to do with her.
I need to apologize to her.
As a postscript: Folks, I have some medium news.
This is my last recap ofReal Housewives of Potomacthis season.
