Birds of a Feather flock Together

Published Feb 2, 2023, 9:49 PM

It’s a doozy this SLC Reunion! Is Heather playing the victim? 
Is Whitney the only one keeping it real??

Once again,  Miami is doing the most!
We don’t understand why Alexia is so upset with Nicole.
And then Todd and Anthony go at it… something is up!

But more importantly, who is in the wheelchair?

Two teas in a pod which Teddy Mellencants and camera Jedge. I felt Lake City was a tough one Guy's Weird Pod. It was a tough one for me. Like, you know, normally I write down a ton of notes and I couldn't find anything interesting to write down s Lake City reunion. Originally I had heard its part there was three parter, and I thought, how that hell? And I'm happy to say it was only to I know when and when Andy confirmed it by uh saying like, what are your what like, what was your biggest regret from the season or whatever? His like rappid question with us, and I was like, I think those are really the only things I wrote down is that the people everybody's regrets and some of them, some of them were quite comical. Well, the thing that I thought was also weird as the episode started with them saying goodbye to the friend us. Well, they got to stretch it out. They only four cast members there, so they're stretching it out and the majority of the conflict this entire season was gen Shaw. Yeah, so it's a tough one for them. I'm not blaming them for not having a great reunion given the circumstances and and Jen not being there that made it very difficult. Yeah. I mean, but they also, especially if everybody else is gonna be so buttoned up and they don't remember things and they're forgiving everyone and they're this and they're that. I mean, you have to, I know. But I'll tell you one thing I did not like I felt. And this is my opinion. Um, Heather Gay was playing victim. She was playing victim when Hunter percent. She knows the fans are very upset with her, and so she this is her way. But you know, instead of playing victim, why don't you just be open and honest and people are going to forgive you for that and say I'm sorry, this is why I did that, you know. And the fact that she's standing I know, you're right the standing next to Jen Shaw. Even to this day, you know, my mind goes to birds of a feather flock together. If you are a criminal, if you are a liar, Teddy, I don't want to be associated with you. I don't want that. If I know people that are shady or I don't want to associate with them because those are not the type of people I want in my space. Those are not my people. They're toxic, but I think that shows that something. Jim Shaw must have something on Heather and I just I think they're a light. And you know, I'm like a my intuition. Intuition is crazy, crazy, crazy good. So I just thought everybody's like, I'm like And then we met her and Brac she was fun. I mean we it was on a certain level. She was fun, but there's something I'm like, she's not being honest. I don't know if I trust her so calculating. She's calculated and she knew what she was doing at this reunion by coming in and have saying that the Mormon shame and that's why she's upset about And she's smart too, so that's a deadly combination when you are calculated and smart, like that's yeah. But I think this part I do have to comment on because I think it shows the kind of person that Whitney is. So I love her. Some of the housewives will be, you know, dismissive of friend us and when they when the friend ofs got up, Whitney looked at Dana and Angie, um okay and was like, hey, um, you guys want to get a picture we should get a picture of our couch, like, because you know that means something to them. Whitney is just the sweetest thing in the entire world. She's so beautiful. I mean, she's almost like perfection. Her cute little voice, like I just I love her. Like even if she's saying, you know, her drunken voice and telling somebody f off, I still like her. I feel in her heart and her soul, like she's such a good person. I feel like she's real and I think sometimes I mean, she she made a good point, she said, sometimes I'm not the best at getting my point across, and she's not. No, I'm not, but a lot I'm not either. Well, I don't know. Yelling you can be very well. I don't always I get frustrated, But I get frustrated and I get to a point where I just like, you know, I yell on screen, but I'll own it. No, that's not the way you handle it. But Heather Gay, on the other hand, will not. But this is what I didn't understand. In regards to Whitney's trauma. In a flashback, Heather said, we wanted to celebrate jin, not to work through your personal issues. The first night we talked about your childhood abauty. How did she say she didn't know what she was talking about? How like she's like again, she's super calculated, and she she she has the ability to turn like switch the narrative on everything, and I hate that. I hate that, and I think that the viewers are smart and to know, but as somebody that's going up against her when she tries to, you know, switch things, it's frustrating. Well, especially because Heather says the reason why she personally is going through a lot it was because heavy topic topic topics like childhood trauma, felony charges, and writing the book. She has a hard time seeing the train of thought watching back the show and says she she should have been a better friend. But now here's your opportunity, Heather, to be a better better friend. And then, uh, you can see Whitney struggling. She looks at Heather and she's like, I feel like you don't stand up for me. And this is how there's a response. Heather sat on that couch and I don't know what it was. Wasn't Anna ask a, She just she she just had this nasty look that was coming from inside out. So it was like she's like she was smelling ship the whole time. But truthfully, what did Whitney ever do to her? Like would be a nice person, be a pretty girl? I don't know, it's a nice to Lisa Barlow? Is that what this is really all about? I feel I actually would love, would have loved to see more of Whitney's story about, you know, working through her trauma. They couldn't because the girls made it seem like it wasn't when we're talking about somebody really going through something. Hurst did not seem staged. It did not seem like she was trying to open up her life right and then but we had to hear more about you know Jen Shasha so um well, I can't say that when Lisa Barlow had her printed out texts like that's an old school housewife. No, but they were ignored, like how I ignored CPS receipts, Like she booked out all these starts and not even people budget. I know, I know, I know, nobody cared. Nobody cared about the receipts. Um. Then Whitney asked me, Meredith, how she went from hiring a private an investigator, and which leads me to the next question, which is is digging up information on a housewife, in your opinion, part of the job or is that going too far? Um, At this point in my career, I don't really have the desire to do that. It's it's just it's bad karma. I feel like early days of housewives, I would say, oh, yeah, we did it all the time, all the time. But now it's like for me personally, I don't know if I've grown or the things have just changed in the housewife universe. Um, I don't really have a desire to dig up Okay, So what were some things that you dug up in your path? So I can go down those rabbit holes? Did you dig up bass? Like? I don't have to dig up bass like like it just happened. Well, I'm asking, like, what are things that you dug up? Oh? God, I can't even remember. There has to be something that you were like ding dinging. I mean I was fed a lot of information. Yeah, back in the day and even to this day. You're always fed information, but you take it with a grain of salt. Um. I don't know. I can't honestly, I can't remember. But but but clarify when you say fed information. People are gonna think you mean production. No no, no no, no, not from production, from outside people from outside outside people like fans of the show or people have friends with friends friends, you know, fans of the show would send us information and then you would go with it. You know, it still happens to this day, like people send information. It's like, but I got a Dan saying that you know, you don't own your business or something like that, and without having any information on it to go and talk about it. You know, it's not the best thing to do unless you have actual information because then basically you're just spreading a rumor. So I mean doing that ruined my entire time on the show. Yeah, because I mean that's what elaborate. Well, I was noting my own business. I get a tag message from John Blizzard, him giving him, giving me information, having calls with Lisa vander Pump and the other John and John and all of it, and me taking that information as and I'm not making excuse for myself. Now looking back, I'm like, that was so messed up. Why did I do that? But I was naive and thinking, oh, this is what you do. You're giving this information and then bring it to light and let's do this. Let's have because last year all we did was fighting about glassware, so let's figure it out. Well, it happens. Last year, I was loved and now I'm hated because I didn't dirty. Yeah, I mean, it definitely happens, and it happens all the time on the show. But now I'm like, I'm not, I'm not doing that because unless you know every details, it gets really messy and it really just makes you look an asshole. Yeah. Um, then the husband's come out and seth. I honestly, I feel like side side by side of that. That's business in the front, party in the it's not even a party in the back. It's like a whole sprinter van. It was so but you know what, it's very in style. Like we when we went to um motocross. My girlfriend Jackie Hitler, boy has that like shade on the side kind of mullet. He's like he's ten exactly. Yeah, And so did Edwin's season two. No Edwin, I know, I remember. So. I mean they all make mistakes, but like, please, grown gentlemen, let's not yeah no, um, I do feel like Lisa Barlow's husband gets a little nervous on camera. Yeah, then with the husband's out there, they start to like have conversations, you know, they say what they're upset about. But the part that I was upset about is I know that you have filmed that one scene with you and Eddie in the tub, but two couples really get into a bathtub with one another and talk. Yeah, I honestly think it's disgusting to talk. No, I don't want to be in a bathtub sharing And I, oh you mean like, oh, I thought you meant the talking is disgusting. All you want to do as the banging. No, I'm fine to the banging. I'm into the banging. I'm into shower banging other but I don't. I do not want my or my husband's like dirt. It's different. So you're like a clean freak. You know. We have one of those big free standing bathtubs, and we've gotten into we've had it for two years once one time we've got into it together. I just feel like, no, like, and Meredith not wrong. You gotta freaking wedge your toe under the your husband's ask so you don't go sliding. So I get what she was saying. So yeah, like she wasn't trying to make it sexual and seth, we've now learned makes things more sexual and funny. Like I didn't, I I laugh. I actually gave him a little chuckle when Andy thing, yeah I like him, Yeah, I now that I get it. But then you guys have to watch is how quickly when he says something that's a little like outlandish, Meredith always fits her hand on his leg, which is signed for shut the funk up. Oh, I do the same thing. I do the same thing. And if and I was, and it made me go back and think, well, first of all, Eddie has never been on a reunion show. He has been asked, but he has never done it. And moving forward, let's say that they asked him this year. He will say, yes, he will. He's been a very big here. But I would definitely have the talk. Don't say anything stupid, don't do this. Yeah, because it's just like he doesn't really overthink it. As a housewife, and as a good housewife, you're always thinking ten steps ahead. If I say this, well maybe it's not a good housewife. It's a smart housewife. If I say this, this can come up and this flashback and come up, like that's how mine, mine works, like Vicky Gelson. She says what it's like every time fill me with her and I tell her this all the time. It's like the first time he's ever filmed. She doesn't think. But that's what makes her good, and that's what makes her good for sure. But can we go over the biggest regrets and then we can close this out. No, we have to talk about one other thing in regarding in regards to Meredith, when Andy's really digging onto her about her, you know, being okay with gen Shaw and da da da da, and then he goes, Meredith, you're just so monotone about it. Oh, he wouldn't give this up. And and he granted, I have a monotone voice. I'm not, I'm not. I'm able to realize my own issues. However, she and her monotone voice is like, I always support the underdog. Uh. And Andy was pushing and pushing. He was not letting that slide, and she would not, I'm from now unless just call her Meredith handler because that in function and happiness and fun times, I know, don't know what I did like it. There was a little clip where Lisa Barlow starts breaking down about jen Shaw going away to prison, and like, yeah, they worked together. I mean, it's really kind of like a death of a friendship. But even if you didn't like that person, they're going away even seen him for a while. And Lisa looks at Whitney and goes, does this make you emotional? And Whitney goes, nope, nope, I'm all cried out. Nope, nope. But the biggest regrets Heather not going to bed earlier. That's her biggest regret out of all season. I'm in therapy over the black guy. Whitney, her biggest regret was she should have waited until she was sober to talk about the rumors. Meredith more careful with my words and Lisa more boundaries with jen I mean, those aren't big regrets. They're not, I mean, because nothing really happened. And here we are to talk about Miami. The episode starts off with Marisol talking about how they are going to a fat fat doctor. Um, maybe they should consider calling it a detox doctor. What are they're doing all giving each other shots of his empic. Yes, given a shot to make you lose weight, but he doesn't give it to me. She said, doesn't give it to me. I might be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure Mariso said earlier in the season, I'm getting a shot so I don't eat. Yeah, and I'm pretty sure even in this episode she says I'm only having liquid. She's just making she back in that like trying too hard that it's driving me nuts on the drinking, like that's I don't know. But but whoever this doctor is that the fat doctor is giving them watermelon vodka? Not that who cares about that? But is this doctor going to get in trouble because he's letting Marisol inject alexia? Yeah, well, Eddie gives me shots. That's fine on national television without gloves and without doing a white like it was. I could not with that. I know, I know, I know um, And I feel like the conversation was a little bit petty, like talking about um Nicole with a black card, like it wasn't that big of the deal what Nicole did. I'm sorry, I don't know why, Like they're trying so hard to go off to Nicole and it just doesn't it it doesn't fit the crime, Like, okay, so she asked a question and they didn't like the question she asked the attorney. Too bad. It's like, it's like, come on, if you brought an attorney and you should be able to ask whatever questions you want, right, and why would it offend somebody? And I mean she made a good time. She's like, I'm not an I don't an optimologist, but people will ask me all the time what this is in my eye? Are? But I mean, hell, I'm on a tell. I mean I'm on a podcast recapping a show I'm no longer on because I was once on it. I'm not offended, right, Like, I don't know why they're giving a call such a hard time, Like it's well. Alexia then goes on to say that Nicole is not professional and she disrespected her house and her friend, and it's very offended. You know what I'm offended by. I'm offended by Julia and Nicole's conversation about setting up the trip. Like no, hold on, no, I'm already offended. I was more offended by Alexei's husband at the lunch. Well, we haven't even gotten there yet. There was a there was a little, you know, conversation about setting up a trip, and it's just you know, when they set up the trips on The Housewife show, it's always like, hey, what do you think someone says, how to really rough here? Why don't we go on a trip. It's like one day I'm like, okay, one day, I just want to see them like at home. In the next episode you see in Mexico, don't. I don't want to see these setups anymore. I don't thinking we should go on a trip, like I don't even need to see that part. Just show me a text message or something selling let's go on a trip. But the part that I didn't fully understand is when Julia was meeting with the adoption agency and she said this would be the first time that I ever had a baby with somebody else that I'm like, then, why are you having these meetings by yourself? That's what I thought to you. Oh my god, the same brain we have, I know, the fact that we're the fact that we can't even get our own brain. Now we have to share. I will tell you now. She said, she's almost fifty in um Martinez sixty, I've always had a little bit of avoid thinking. You know, Eddie and I don't have any kids together, and of course my kids are older Now Sophia is almost eighteen, so it's my lap, my baby. Um. But to think at my age fifty five to adopt a baby, it's just in theory. It sounds great, but waking up the middle of the night and going through preschool and middle school, in high school, I'll be a hundred and two and it's like, I'm tired now. I'm so tired now. I mean, I I'm with you. The doctor I was teking about he told me I need to get my I d out. Well, I told you you about that. I know well he told me I tremor like my my arm with that. And then I'm so afraid that I will get pregnant again. And I'm only here to side. Oh my, I don't want to go on. I don't wanna have surgery. I don't want to do any of it anyway. I found out there's a gel you can put in and you do it right before we have sex. It feels like lub and then it's worth control. So that will be my new thing, and it's for I don't think that's new. I think that's like spermicide. I think that that's been But there's a new and and you're you're gonna you're gonna trust that. What if one, well, one fast swimmer gets up that and boom, you have triplets. I'm gonna have to another child with a bird name. Oh my god. Um. But yeah. Then we go to the lunch where once again Maristal is talking about the drinking that she's not gonna eat food and saying fatty, it's all fatty and blah blah blah and listen, I understand that, like she's trying to be funny, but like she's come over it. I get it. Don't eat and you drink alcohol, like, yeah, it wokes over. Yeah, I mean there's something about being honest, but when you're pressing it and pressing it, then it just kind of looks like you're you're doing it. First storyline, Well, i'd rather the other women talk about it than you're talking about it. I mean, that's the don't care. They'd be like, oh my god, she's a drunk. Should we need rehabs? She needs this, like if you're not like, first of all, drinking alcohol and not eating is a horrible idea. Yeah we know, Yeah, I've done it. It's not a good idea. It doesn't work out well, frosts not for me anyways. I just I want to know what Alexeiya's problem is with Nicole. What is her problem? Well, I also want to know why Alexeia's husband got so I maybe I'm missing social cues, but I did not think Anthony was being an asshole when he said if she knew that the lawyer was offended, that then we will send flowers and chocolate, flower flowers or chocolate whatever. And then once once his husband got mad, then I think he was being, you know, but a dick. For him to sit there and go after Anthony like that was discussed business, I'm like, after his sure there the richest and on the show, I'm not. I mean, Alexis, her husband's not hurt anither. Her house is amazing, and so is Nicole and Anthony's house. But to go after his career like that, that is a bitch move. That isn't like, you only have one lawyer in your office and she said three. You only have three attorneys in your office. And my question to you is only having three attorneys in your office is that a bad thing? I mean, my attorney has two attorneys in his office and he's extremely successful. Like, why is that like such a dig? And and then Anthony was like I have forty five and blah blah. Yeah, but I didn't get why the husband went there. There's got to be something else that's going on between the four of them that it was a little bit move, That's what I said. And I loved how Anthony just sat there, he didn't say anything, he didn't retaliate, he didn't go after his business. It just shows what a class act they are. They're a class act. Well, I think, but then what, um, the fact that I can't oh Todd, the fact that Todd kept saying, oh, you know you you're doing this because you're being an elitist or you're you're above everybody else. I I personally didn't think that that's what he was doing. Do you think that at all? Not at And then Alexei I kept going like, um, you know, they're rude, they're not classy or whatever she was saying. And I'm like, no, Alexi, you're being rude, You're you guys are being classless. So it was just it was gross to me to go after someone's business like that, Like, clearly he's professional, Clearly he's successful and he just he played it right. I also don't like that Alexei keeps using the word professional when it comes to the coal, like you're a professional, Like you know, we're all on a reality television show and when you're crossing a boundary and when you're not so finally, like I really thinking as nut professional? Larsa, Lisa, Lisa and Kiki go to the club eleven Um. We filmed there. We filmed there on Orange County when we went to Miami, and it's basically a strip club. Did you also film there at one pm? Because no one was there? But nobody was there when we were there, And I don't know if they was done on purpose. I mean, there was some people there, but they had like cages and it was a it was a cool spot. I got a hat surround here somewhere. They gave me a baseball hat. All I do know is that if I was single looking for a man, I would not want to have Kiki being hot and beautiful and funny as my wing woman. I need to be on my own, I know. But I had to die laughing at kick you didn't she at one point like I can't talk about Lenny anymore. Get me out of here. I'm going to the pole. I mean, it was a long time. They did the eight minutes or something like that. No, it was thirty one minutes, one minutes, okay. But Lisa did clear something up. She was never a swinger with Lenny. She's too jealous for that, she said. And Lenny's now taking her trainer away from her. Oh my god, rich girl problems. What are we gonna do about this? And then it cracked me up when she's like, so you're taking her house away and making her fat. Well, I mean I just thought that Larsa was a voice of reason. Yeah, she was a voice of reason, but she also shared more than I felt like she had shared about her divorce, her confessionals here, Like she was like, I didn't want to be in a loveless marriage, and I didn't you know all of that. I don't know. Maybe I just have had my own guard up against like paying attention to her fully, but I was like, I appreciated her being open about that. Um. And then essentially Lenny told Lisa that he's going to convince a judge to get her an order to force Lisa out of the house. Um. And I mean Lenny said, I mean, I don't. At least I'm seeing an a press. At least uh is getting more serious with her boyfriend, because good, well, you know, it's a matter of time. She's a beautiful girl, she's sweet, she's gonna find something new, and he's gonna be twice as rich. Yeah. So um. Then we get to Alexei's redeeming quality, and that is Frankie, because a relationship, it's just so cute and Frankie is so adorable and he loves his mom so much and Mom, I don't want a girlfriend. I have you, and you know I'm I'm And it was so nice to hear her say like I've been enabling him and I want him to be you know, independent, and and for them to tell Frankie like, your mom is not going to be around forever, like that's that's where our poring conversations and that more conversations I could compartmentalize Alexia and put her like as a mom. I'm glad they gave her that, because you know, we all have our good scenes and our bad scenes. Trust me, I know, and I know Alexei is a good person. But her situation with Nicole didn't play out right and to see a softer side of her is exactly what she needed in this episode. So because it was Nicole may have lost Alexi's game, but she won the fans again the episode because then when they get to the final lunch that they have together, Alexi doesn't even let her speak. And I know, I don't, Well, n call is a better person than me to sit down with Alexei at that point because after what they did to her and her husband at that Gringo dinner. Um, I wouldn't. I would be very hesitant about sitting down with her when I want, I'd be piste off. And it didn't didn't know what to expect, Like you're gonna go after my husband again, You're gonna go after my career again, Like what do you do? Well know she went after her mental health, called her a narcissist. Yeah, I know. So at the time I'm saying it, Call is a bigger person than me, like a right. Um. And at the very end of the episode, Um, it looks like an explosive episode on their trip, looks like somebody attacks somebody, they fell in the water, and then you see the squeaking wheelchair going down the hallway. So yeah, I don't think that was an attack. I think they don't having fun and playing around and somebody falls and to me, I can't really tell because there's a mask, but I think it's Adriana in the wheelchair. Who do you think? I think so too, I think so too. Um. Yeah, I think it was just girls playing and somebody got hurt. I don't think. But you know, they're gonna pull people in because I'm like, WHOA next week looks exciting, So I don't know. I think I think it was a good episode. I think we're it's always a good episode. Miami is the ship. I mean, I think and we were talking about this earlier, but I think it makes a good point, Miami. Even though we don't love all of the people on the show every week, they're also good together because they're they're doing the most. They really are, Like, there isn't somebody that's not pulling their weight. We cause link um, I mean probably Julia. And you know, how do I say this? You have to have different personalities on the show, because if everybody was the same and everybody was like spit fires and you know, outspoken, it's not gonna work. So she works for the show. But is she the most outgoing? No, she's not. But you know whose name we didn't say one time today? Who we didn't Gertie. She's not even in our rundown. She's not well. You know, sometimes you have your own an episode a lot another time. But she was in this episode. We saw family stuff, we saw the here's what. I don't have to say anything about the turtle. I don't care about the turtle. I know that's the thing that was too much home life. They show stuff that like it's not enough of a story to engage just but like, I love Gertie. I think she's funny. I think her confessionals are funny. But because they're trying to play a story of she needs to be more president at home, they keep showing us the same thing, a little cle she's making a change. Well, um, I would have to say that Gertie's husband looked so uncomfortable at that dinner. That's how Eddie was when he first started feeling. When ship would break out, he would just sit there. He'd be like like he would literally get up and walk away. He's like this because he's he didn't like that negative vibe. Yeah, so especially when guys get involved, He's like, screw this, I don't want to. I thought it was I did think the clip was funny though, when they were talking about, um, if he was going to do the calendar yess, and then Gertie's like like, sorry, women, he's aline and gentlemen. It's like, do you want your husband out there like that? Dude? I wouldn't care. I don't care. I mean, I don't know. Okay. To end this episode, fan thoughts would be if your husband was a firefighter and had the opportunity to be on account under where he would get developed. A lot of fans, a lot of people are like, the public is crazy, but you can do that on Instagram, Like I kind of if I was dirty, I'd say just put a little disclaimer. My wieners very little and um it doesn't work all the time, then no girls will ever come after him. Oh my gosh. Well, I love you, cham I'm good luck in New York and we will be back next week and we will be able to be recapping Jersey, which yeah, Bass salt Lake that that piece up
