  Speaker 1: Reality with the King is hosted by me, Carlos King.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: I'm an executive producer who have produced some of your
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: favorite shows from the Real Housewives of Atlanta, New Jersey,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and my own creation, the Love and Marriage franchise and
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Bell Collective. Every episode, we recap reality television from the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Real Housewives franchise to The Bachelor or Selling Sunset. in
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: addition to celebrity guests, whether in the unscripted space or
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: scripted as well. Hey, Raindrop, on today's episode of Reality
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: for the King, Dustin, we are recapping the final episode
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: of Ultimate Girls Trip.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Much like Baby Girl said, how did we get here?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Nobody's supposed to be here, okay? I don't know how
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: we made it, but we did. Up the rough side
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: of the mountain, Carlos. And I mean, Vicky.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Who in the hell left the gate open?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Who in the hell left the gate open and let
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Vicky through? But we made it. We made it, Carlos.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: We made it.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Speaking of this, you and I really respect the art
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: of journalism.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, we do.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: And what is so unfortunate about social media, tons of pluses.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: So we'll start there. But one thing is anybody can
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: start a rumor and people take it as fact. So
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: not sure if you saw this, but some blog reported
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: that Vicky was not asked back on Ultimate Girls Trip
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and that it was a mutual... I'm not Girls Trip.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Was not asked back to be part of OC Season 21.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Let's tape their reunion on Friday. And that it was
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: a mutually... It was a mutual decision based on her
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: not wanting to come back and Bravo not wanting her back.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: So I saw that and said, well, I know this
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: ain't true, so it's stupid. It picked up like wildfire.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: So much so, Vicky posted on her Instagram that it
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: wasn't true. And Vicky was commenting all on threads, Dusted,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: that these are lies. I haven't made a decision, nor
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: has Bravo. Where are you getting this information from? So
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: before we get to our finale recap.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: They did take their reunion Friday. We know that after
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: reunion is when they decide who's coming back or not.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Do you think Vicky will want to come back for
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: season 21? And or do you think Bravo will ask
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: her back?
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: So, yes, I think Vicky will want to come back
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: for season 21 because Vicky wanted to come back for
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: season 20. She also wanted to come back for season 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: And the list goes on and on. So, of course,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: she wants to come back. Do I think Bravo will
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: ask her back? Sure. She's polarizing. And while there's not
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: a lot not to like about Vicky, she's, you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: integral to the fabric of the Real Housewives of Orange County.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure a lot of the fans, some of
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the legacy fans specifically, were very happy to see her
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: back in the fold. And if she I didn't really
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: keep up with this season, not intentionally either, because I
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: watch OC. I just was busy and I didn't get
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: around to watching it this season. But I don't know.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: You never miss an episode of Atlanta. You've always been busy,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: my boy.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's Atlanta. Watching Atlanta is a part of
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: my busy list. The things that I do to be busy,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: like I have to watch Atlanta. That's required viewing. It's
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: almost spiritual. We have to. Ancestrally, we have to. You
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying? Watch that. OC, not too much.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I didn't watch it, so I don't know how involved
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: in the mix she was this season. That's more of
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: a you and Alexis question. I don't necessarily want to
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: see her go because I didn't watch the season. You
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying? How I was ready for her
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: to get her ass off a girl's trip It was
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: because I was watching the season. So I don't have
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: those feelings about her being a part of the cast
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: of OC. So I don't know. I don't know if
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: she needs to go over there or not. But I
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: definitely think she wants to return as evidenced by her
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: responding to these stupid, ridiculous rumors, right? She wanted to
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: clear it up because she doesn't want that to be
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: the perception, which indicates to me that she has a
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: desire to be there. Which, why wouldn't she? She's being
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: a motherfucking housewife. getting money, being famous. Of course she
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: wants to be there. Yeah.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I agree 100%. I agree with that
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: as well. She definitely wants to come back. Anytime after
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: BravoCon when Andy announced that they wanted her to come
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: back to the show, mind you, she didn't have a
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: signing contract. There was no negotiation.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: No, that's why she was visibly surprised.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: They kind of knew like, look, sis, we want you back.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: And you're going to say yes so we can skip
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: all this.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: And the next day, Dustin, she posted on her Instagram
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: her in the bed with an orange.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: That picture. I don't know if the picture was on
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: the camera roll already, but that orange being beside that
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: bed for a long time.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Being pregnant, I guarantee you it was a little moldy.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I'm okay.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Let's get it on.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: We'll go to the store. No, you can do it.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I'm just sitting there. You know how she be talking
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: and shit. But I guarantee you that Orange been on
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: that nightstand. She's been praying over it, holding it, putting
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: it under the folds of her breasts and just really
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: getting it close to her heart because she has long
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: wanted to and pined to be a real housewife of
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Orange County. She's been attached to it like a leech
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and a barnacle almost. She's been attached to it grippingly
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: and desperate for a reconnection. And again, everybody that has
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: a desire to be on TV will want to be
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: a housewife. Anybody that had a taste of that notoriety
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and that experience, they will want it again. So I'm
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: not faulting her for that. I'm just stating the fact
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: that she does. That's all.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. And I will say this and we'll move
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: on and y'all can tweet me all you want and
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: leave a comment. Thank you. Every former housewife wants to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: come back to their show.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I believe it.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And that's that. I'm not here to have a debate.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not here to say who got fired or who left. Which,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: by the way, Ashley Darby, we're going to move on
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: and recap this episode, but I'm sure Dustin saw it too.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: You know I did.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Ashley Darby, I'm starting to like you a lot. Ashley
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Darby did an interview, Dustin, that I'm sure you saw.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: At CultureCon, yeah.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: She mentioned having a dream about Candace DeLaBasse the night
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: before and how she misses her and how she loves
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: sparring with her because... they will go toe-to-toe. And she
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: was impressed by her reads, and they never took it personally.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: And Ashley Darby, I love you for that. She also
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: mentioned by the shady journalist, I love it, who asked her,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: is it true she got fired? And listen, Ray Drops,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: leave Ashley alone. I will give her this. She wasn't
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: prepared for the answer. I thought her response was so cute,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: but she's like, I'm... I felt for the first time
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: she was not intentionally trying to be shady.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: She also wasn't intentionally trying to not be shady either
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: in her response. Number one, Ashley knew exactly what she
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: was doing when she answered that question the way that
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: she did. The laughing, the acting coy, acting like she
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: was trying to strategize on how to most tactfully say it.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: She knew exactly what she was doing. Candace has been very,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: very clear about the fact that she walked away from
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: the show and was not fired. But Ashley and Giselle
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: are saying that the people are saying that she was. Carlos,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: what do you think?
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to get to that.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I don't care to be honest with you. You know
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying? Candace has done other shit. She's gone
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: on to do like a lot more stuff. I think
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: she will absolutely be called for Dancing with the Stars
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: at some point. Um, like, like Candace has proven herself as, um,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: TV talent that is sustainable outside of the housewives universe.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: And for that, she should be celebrated. And who gives
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: a fuck about her, how she made her exit from
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: a show. How many years ago, her baby, like two
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: or three now, you know what I'm saying? Like, so
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: she's been gone for a minute, you know, she ain't
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: said she want to be back with the jump off,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: but we would like for her to be, I would
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: love for Candace to come back, especially now that Robin
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: is back. You know, they low-key have always hated each
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: other and pretended not to. So I think this would
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: be a great season for Candace to return. I hope
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: she does. And not as a friend either, as a
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: full-time housewife. And not playing nice like Monique did. Monique
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: came back last season, and everything was just bubbly and fun.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: And that is not the Monique that we knew before,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: who was absolute and very much so willing to call
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: things out. She literally, oh, it's okay. Everything's all right.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Give me some more love. Frankincense and Myrrh. You know,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: that shit she was on this last season. I hope
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: she clears that up this season and gets back involved.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I hope she still has that umbrella, that polka dot umbrella.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, but her, that moment.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pull your polka dot umbrella. Her moment. Let them
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: locks down. You know what I'm saying? Cascading locks over
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: one shoulder. And cuss they ass out, Monique. Like we
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: know you can't. That's what we miss. How did we
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: get into this Potomac segment?
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I know. I'm sorry. Well, technically it's Ultimate Girl Street.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: We can talk about all they ass. You know what
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I'm saying? Yeah.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: And they all were there tonight. Well, last night's episode.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: So the episode Ultimate Girls Trip Doesn't kicks off in
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: round two of Portia and Luann. Portia still is checking Luann.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Tell her she's been acting up. Even through Shay saying,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: you are a woman of a certain age.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, she did say that.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: And a free bird. Now, all of us know she
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: meant bird the way we mean the Black community. So
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: to all of my white listeners, I would like to
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: inform you that when you call another woman a bird,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: we don't mean the ones that fly in the sky.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: We mean a hood rat. We mean a skank.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Okay? What would white people call that? A bimbo. Or
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: you know what? Here's another white insult that might be
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: parallel to that. A ditz. You ever heard somebody say
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: somebody was ditzy or ditz? Like ditz and bimbo, I
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: think would be akin to like being a bird.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Don't you think? Yeah. I agree.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I agree. Thank you for the education, Dr.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Ross. No problem. I had to pull out my Caucasian thesaurus.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Okay. To tap into that vernacular over there. Yes.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Yes. That's what we're having.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: You got to be all knowing. You got to be
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: all knowing. You know what I'm saying?
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: What did you think about the last moment between Portia
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: and Luann? as they were on the sprinter having their
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: back and forth.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: These lighthearted, you know, comedy-driven arguments that Portia's been having
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: on Ultimate Girl Strip have been refreshing. While I love
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: seeing Portia go deep and cut to the bone, or
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: as we, hell, since this is a show of colloquialisms,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: I guess, right? We're using cultural phrases. Even though we
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: know we love seeing Portia cut down to the white meat,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying? On a motherfucker verbally. it's
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: been nice to see her keep things at a 2
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: or a 2.5 out of 10. You know what I'm saying?
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: In terms of intensity in arguments with her language. And
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: so seeing Portia be funny and crack jokes has always
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: been her strong suit. And I think that we got
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: a chance to see her flex her comedy muscle. And
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: this last final tête-à-tête with Luann was a prime example
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: of that. Portia was cracking jokes and talking shit and
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: keeping it light. She really don't even give a fuck.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: And we've seen Portia go all the way in before.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: So I thought it was more of the same and
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: it was a nice little cherry on top of this
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: cake that is now finished baking. So I thought it
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: was the perfect little finale argument for her on the
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: way in. Sidebar, Portia's Crystal Fox was gorgeous. That Crystal Fox,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: that hooded Crystal Fox Portia. Carlos, couldn't you hear the
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Dietrich Furtz commercial.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: In your head?
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Dietrich Furtz. We was right on that horse, Carlos. Okay.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, Dietrich Furtz.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Hell yeah. On ABC7. WXYZ, Carlos. Look, a WDIV. Shout out.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: We're getting into Detroit deep cut territory. Let's take it
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: back to this show, Carlos.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I am screaming at you for knowing the actual local
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: channel station number. I can't with you. My life lasts
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: before my eyes right now.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: That was for the Detroit raindrops.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, we have a lot of Detroit raindrops too, so
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: we love that. Yes, Portia looked amazing. I mean, Portia
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: can do them wrong if she looks the part. She's
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: a gorgeous woman.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Even when.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: So they're at the, listen, they go to Bluestone Manor, Dustin.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: And Dorinda lets them in.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, she did.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: And welcomes them. What are your, like, because listen, I'm
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: working on us going to Bluestone Manor.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: I want to go so bad. I told you I
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: want to go.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I know. We're making contact.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And I'm making contact with the seamstresses because I
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: want some new plaid things to wear when we go.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: So I need a custom Scottish look. No, but it
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: looked incredible. Dorinda, the fact that her home is iconic
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: in that way and not in the way people casually
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: throw that word around, but like literally by definition, her
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: home where she lays her head and wipes her ass
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: is literally iconic. People know what Bluestone Manor is. I
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: love the fact that they included the origin story for people.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: The producers did a beautiful job of really like pulling
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: that together. and illustrating how important Bluestone Manor is and
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: also how dope it is that she has it. I
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: thought that was great production, great editing. That was just
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: good television. A whole little ode to Bluestone Manor section
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: that they slid in there. I thought that was dope.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: It was. And listen, there's no better finale to me.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: The only other one would have been Chateau Charest.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as far as Holmes, yeah. Chateau Charest.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: And the iconic nature of it. But the thing about Dorinda,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: which we saw when she was with the Rhode Island ladies,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: which we'll get to in a second, she owns it.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: And she takes care of that home. And it's not
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: just a staple for us as the audience. That's a
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: staple for her when it comes to her ex-husband, Richard.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Who passed away. And the memories that's there. And that's
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: sort of the reason why I thought it was very
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: smart for them to end things on that note.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: And even to include it, right? It's from Legacy, Roni,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Real Housewives of New York is in an incredible new
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: era right now. But so even the fact that, listen,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: when we're paying homage to 20 years of what this
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: motherfucker really means, the housewives really means, Bluestone Manor is
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: a part of that conversation. And I think as a housewife,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: that's got to feel really good for Durant, especially as
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: a legacy housewife. She on that other show they got now. Right.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: She's not even on. Yeah.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: She's jail at the last minute. Yeah.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: She's on the old in life. And so, you know,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I think I'm not even going to do it today.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: We're going to be positive. I'm not even going to
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: do it. That person ain't even a part of this conversation. So.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: But yes, Dorinda. So as a legacy housewife, I know
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: it had to be incredibly difficult. She just had to
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: be honored to be included in this in such a
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: major way, right?
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. No, she owned it. And I think it
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: was fitting because that house can.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Hold- Shout out to Lisa.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Lisa who?
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Barlow.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: What happened?
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Wendy's. I had to- Look, and on some real shit,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I was watching the episode- I was watching this episode
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: and when it got to the Wendy's part and Lisa
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: gleefully galloped up out of that sprinter and went in
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: and came back with them two. Look, Carlos, let's take
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: it all the way back to Detroit. Them two Hudson's
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: bags full of Wendy's. Okay, Carlos.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Dustin, did you know I applied to work at Hudson?
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: To work at Hudson.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: And I was I had to settle.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Sorry, y'all.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I had to settle to work at the mall at Mrs.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Phil Cookies and Bath & Body Works.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Go ahead. My first job was at The Gap. My
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: cousin was a district manager for The Gap, and she
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: got me a job at the one in Genesee Valley Mall,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: and I was always in the front greeting people when
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: they came in. And I loved wearing the clothes. It
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: was a big deal.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Did you always have that voice?
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: No.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I used to sound like this.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: But now I sound like this, though. I think I
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: had to, you know, bust a couple. And then my
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: voice just went down where it was supposed to be.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Bust a couple nuts and go through some fucked up
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: shit in life. You know, get close to you and
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: put out of shit. Money gets fucked up. You know,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: things in life make your voice drop. You know what
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: I'm saying? So I just had to go through all that.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Get to the good part to speak like this. But yeah.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I bust a lot and I still am going through puberty.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: That's okay. Your voice is high pitched because shit is
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: going good. It's celebratory. God damn it, because you're in
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: a good place in life. That's what that is. But
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: the good place I was in in life today was
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: DoorDash because I had to give me some Wendy's after
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: I seen Lisa Barlow with that bounty of Wendy's food.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: I was sitting here with my friend. I was like,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: I want some Wendy's. That shit was good. It was good, too.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: I ain't even going to hold you. It was good.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: So they need to sponsor this show. I got a double, whatever.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: It's called the Dave's Double or whatever. With the bacon? No,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: no bacon. I don't like the, I don't like that
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: kind of, I don't like like fast food bacon. I
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: like real, you know, but no bacon, just everything on
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: it except lettuce and tomato. Cause I'm petrified of all
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: the recalls right now. So like fast food lettuce is
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: just not a part of my life. Yup. And then
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: as you can see, I got my strawberry lemonade, you know,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: little Cinnabon pull apart for afterwards, you know, just, you know,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I don't have to enjoy the Wendy's. If we're going
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: to get Wendy's, David, let's enjoy it.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: So.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Shout out to Lisa Barlow.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: You still remain thin.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Got to. Got to do that, too. You know what
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: I'm saying?
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I'm really jealous of you.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I had to eat that, though. The way Lisa Barlow
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: was like, they're hungry, and there's only one thing that
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I can think of. She's like, Wendy's. And I'm like,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: you know what? Hell, yes.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I haven't had Wendy's in years, me being a vegan,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: but I could smell it through the screen. And listen,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: my favorite thing at Wendy's will always be the chicken nuggets.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely. It's a different type of chicken nugget. It
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: might be processed, but it's processed.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's It's highly processed.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: It's a little different.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: In the words of Phaedra to Pinky, radioactive.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Burgers, baby. Radioactive burgers. That's right.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: This is Reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Let's get back into the show.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: And in the words of Phaedra to Dallas, shout out
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: to Dallas the stylist, by the way. I told Wendy today,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: now this, you're on point with. That shit was good.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Dallas, not the stylist, but hey boo, the city.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: They had all the cities appear at the finale at
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Bluestone Manor, except Dallas.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: They don't give a fuck about none of them.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, this is me and you talking, right? Yeah. I'll
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: tell you my professional opinion. Let me hear your opinion,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: just based on being a viewer. Why do you think
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Dallas was not included?
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: The cast. The cast. I know the only person they like,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: is it Leigh-Anne? Was that her name?
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Leigh-Anne was the original one that got fired first for
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: the work.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: She.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Something... Something fucked up.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Something toxic. I just think that they don't... Much like DC, right?
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Because DC is a forgotten franchise as well. I think, yeah,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I think that Miami is the only franchise that was
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: forgotten and then remembered. I think that Dallas and DC
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: left such a stain on the Bravo brand in their
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: own ways. Remember them Salahis doing all that shit that
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: they did in DC? And then some of the Dallas controversy,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: in addition to Dallas and DC both being a boring cast,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: to be honest with you. You know what I'm saying?
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: There wasn't no, like Nene said, Starless. It was starless.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: And so I think casting was just an issue that
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: they just couldn't really get it right. It's kind of
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: like the Married to Medicine spinoffs, right? Like L.A. And
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: then I know they tried to do something in Houston
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: and D.C. D.C. is why we still dealing with NECA now.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? We got to go through
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: her ass. We got to suffer through NECA. We got
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: to persevere through NECA again this season on Married to
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Medicine Atlanta. She just won't go away. And so, like, casting.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: It's just casting. It's casting. Yeah.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: And I also think, number one, I agree with you.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I also think what you said earlier also is true
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: in the sense that when it comes to D.C. and Dallas, D.C.,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: we already knew they do not want us to remember D.C.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: And I understand why, because it was that bad. And raindrops,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: in case you don't know, there was a couple who
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: broke into the White House. Correspondents dinner, which just doesn't
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: happen because it's a breach. It's a security breach.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: That involves Secret Service. And listen, we all love controversy
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: when it comes to reality TV. But that took it
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: to another level. On top of what Dustin said, the
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: cash wasn't great.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Nope. What was the black lady's name? Was it Stacy?
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Let me look.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I can't remember her name, but she actually could have
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: worked with a different cast, I think. And it was
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: another lady. It was Stacy.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Stacy Scott.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Stacy could have worked. And it was another older lady
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: that lived in an apartment that was kind of like
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Ashley Diary's apartment. I think she could have worked, too.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: But everybody else got to go and then went. So
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying?
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: It was really bad. And I think with Dallas, one
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: thing I will give Bravo when it comes to Dallas,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: they tried.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they tried. Didn't they go for like four seasons
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: or something?
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: It did. It did, which is a lot. Miami had
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: two before they said bye. DC had one season. And
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: they definitely kept giving Dallas a chance. I think I
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: said this story publicly before. I was even contacted to
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: work on Dallas. They were like, can you help us?
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Can you.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Help us? Help us, please.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: We need SOS, goddammit. Shit.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Rihanna style, okay?
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: For real.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Damn.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Threw that life preserver right at your feet.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Yes. And I was like, I'm interested, but it didn't
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: work out for business reasons. But my point is they
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: definitely tried to give Dallas a chance. And I think
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: it's safe to say that they definitely aren't interested in
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: having Dallas be rebooted in the same way you could
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: tell they do have this. love for Miami. And I
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: really do believe they want to figure out Miami.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: I think that part of it might be that Miami
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: has a uniqueness that Dallas does not. When you have
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: the Real Housewives of Atlanta, which is so strong, right?
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: And Southern and Black. And then you also have the
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Real Housewives of Potomac, which in its own way has
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: a Southern, you know, Gentilly feel to it. You know
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying? Why do we need another Southern franchise
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: that it's starless, it'd be different if they had like
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: stars over there. So I don't know, cause I've often
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: thought about like, why wouldn't they just do a black
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: cast in Texas and Dallas or Houston? I'm like, all
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: black cast would work in either one of those cities,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: but they probably feel like it would be competitive with Atlanta.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Cause Atlanta is the black Southern show.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: And you probably see.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: A different like flavor coastal wise when it comes to
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: how black women live.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: That does make sense to me. And you and I
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: both know there's tons of wealthy Black people who are
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: not in the southern states. So I agree with you.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not missing out.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Chicago. The same way Potomac is suburban of Washington, D.C.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: 's metropolitan area, there are several suburban spaces in the
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Chicago metropolitan area that could support a show. I agree.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I wholeheartedly agree. And look, Rhode Island worked. You have
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: a newbie on the East Coast. So they're there.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: And they're unique. They're niche. I think it just has
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: to have a uniqueness to it because New York satisfies
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: the big city show, right? So it has to be
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: a cast from a city that has a genuinely specific
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: and unique tone and flavor to it. That's the secret sauce.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: And a lot of times that comes in the cast,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: but I don't know. I know. Don't they have some
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: coming from like Montana or Idaho or some shit?
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I heard that. I don't know if it's true.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: They Bravo announced it though. Maybe it's not moving forward. Well, but,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: but they said that it was untitled, but they were,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: they were leaning to, it was going to become.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Possibly.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know. I don't want to.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Talk too much. No, no, no. It's okay.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying no. I ain't saying yes either. But
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: what I will say is two things happen. They go
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: into some shows thinking this could be a housewife. Then
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: they wait to see the footage and how the girls
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: are and be like, oh, wow, it's not housewives. I
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: think a good example would be Remember there was this
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: show based in, I believe it was San Antonio, Texas.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: But it was Texan. Jamie, tell me the name of
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: the show. It was based in San Antonio, Texas. I
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: believe predominantly Latina cast. I know.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: It's on the tip of my tongue.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was something. Long story short, word on the
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: curb was that was going to be a potential housewife
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: and I believe once they saw the show.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: They said no this ain't housewives.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: There's the other example to where shows were supposed to
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: be something else and then they said based on what
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: we're seeing this could be a housewife and that happens
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: more often than.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Not that was Potomac right Texacanas Texacanas okay okay Okay. Really?
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, I, you know me, Dustin.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I'll watch anything once. And I said, Ooh, got it.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Okay. And that's that on that.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like Dustin said, Starless.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Starless. Okay.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: But who is Starfall is the Rhode Island lady.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: They're at Dorena's house. Yeah. And Dustin and I really
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: do love the Rhode Island girlies.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. And especially Rosie. Hey, Rosie.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Rosie is so gorgeous. I love me some Rosie. One
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: of my favorites. I have like three.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I love Rosie. I love Rosie. I love Liz.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: We loved Liz. Well, we still do.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: I think she may... There was a picture floating around.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, good. Okay.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Fingers crossed.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I love Rula.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Me too.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, good.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: In the run... It's too early to call, but in
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: the running for being the longest lasting OG from Rhode Island.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: I'm already looking at the cast and seeing like, I
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: wonder who, if there will be a lead here that
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: will outlast, because you know how people fall off season
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: to season. The way Teresa became, she always was the
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: face of the show after season one, but the way
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: she ended up outlasting everybody. I've wondered who that will
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: be from the season one cast of Rhode Island. I
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: could see it being Rula. I could see it being,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: I could see it being Alicia.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: I could see that. 100%.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Yep, yep. And then it could be a dark horse, right?
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: It could be a dark horse like Rosie.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Rosie's good.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Who knows? Because Rosie's good in her own way. And
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: sometimes they're unique because Rosie's funny.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Rosie's like Kyle Richards. You don't have to be the most.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Rosie is beautiful.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Perfect. Perfect, Carlos. Perfect, perfect. Perfect parallel, right? So I
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: don't know. I just wonder who that'll be over there
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: at Rhode Island. But Rula is in the running to
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: be the star of the show. I'll just say it.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Rula's in the running to be the star of the
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: show over there at Rhode Island.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Love Rula. Love Rula. And Liz, we want you back
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: because Liz, baby!
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Liz came in as the motherfucking anchor.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: As the anchor.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: And just lifted herself up off the ground and floated on.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Why are you leaving this show? This is a hit show.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Why are you leaving?
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping. Fingers crossed. But Rula showed and proved at
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Dorinda's house why she is like me and Dustin set
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: a staple. The housewives are getting to know them because remember, Dustin,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: at the time that this was filmed, Rhode Island wasn't
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: even airing yet.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: No. So they were still fresh to the whole shit. Yeah. Yeah.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: That's why they acted. That's why they was acting a
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: fool like that. There was being ghetto at Bluestone Manor.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, 100%.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: There would be ghetto. Yeah, me too. I love it.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: On the weekends. Yes. Yes, so I don't mind. Yes.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Well, Island is ghetto, and so was Bantam Pump Rules. Now,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: with that being said.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: And nasty, too.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: That was the most ratchet cast.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: I'm on record. Mandepo Rules was the most ratchet cast
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: on Bravo.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: It really could have been on Now That's TV, if
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: we're being honest. For real. I guess it would be
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: on the white version. Now this is TV. You know
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: what I mean? Now this sure is TV. That's what
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: they were. Because it really. Vanderpump Rules was ghetto as hell,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: for real, for real. Shout out to NowThat'sTV. You know
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: I watch all that.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I know you do, baby.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Vanderpump Rules was absolutely ghetto, for sure. Yes.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: But no, I'll and Kaz get into it. Talking about
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: what's going on with Rula. Portia asked Rula if she
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: felt supported. Rula said no.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: The way she said it, too, Carlos. She was like, no.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: It was like, I know this is about to start
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: some shit, and I'm saying it anyway. No. I was like, Rula.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Rula and Liz, hold on.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Liz was in that cup. Them bartenders was heavy porn.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: They must have been free porn in Boothstone Manor that
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: night because Liz was in that cup. That had to
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: be her third or fourth drink that night. That had
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: to be the way she answered. We tried. When she
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: was talking to her, I was like, Liz is three
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: sheets to the wind right now in this conversation.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Liz was lit.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, she was. Z was a T, for sure.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Liz also calls her full of shit because Rula says
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: she dealt with infidelity in real time.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: You've been, and they all understand. We were talking about
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: this a year before everybody started reminding us. And that
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: delusion is what makes the stars over here, baby. So, Rula,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: atta girl. Good job, Rula. Stay delusional, baby. Yes.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Your girl, Dorinda, steps it all the way down and said,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: this is my home, and we're not going to turn
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: this into episode six.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Of Rewind Live.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Episode six.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Episode six, let's get into how nasty that was, right?
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: Because what usually happens around the sixth episode of the season,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: the drama, the arguing and fighting. So that was a
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Housewives pointed insult. She's like, this is my house. We're
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: celebrating 20 years of Housewives, and we're not going to
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: turn it into episode six of Rhode Island. You can
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: take that shit in the driveway. I was like, yo,
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Dorinda just checked me. Fuck out of them. Is this
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip or East Side High from
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Lean On Me? The way Dorinda just went in there
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: and checked the shit out of all of them. Remember
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: when Joe Clark threw all them kids out at the
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: beginning of Lean On Me? You can get out of here.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: You're all expurgated. That's what he told her. She expurgated
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: the Real Housewives of Rhode Island up out of her
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: motherfucking house. And I was like, yo, Dorinda, that was
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: some G shit.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: That's why you had to have a finale there. Because again,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: not only is the house a staple, Dorinda, like you said,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: is a vet who is a formidable housewife. But if
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: that show was still on the air, New York City Housewives,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: with the original cast, she would have been the Portia
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: of New York City. Meaning they would have got rid
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: of everybody. Casting the show around, as long as you
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: got Dorinda.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: You got a show.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: You got a show.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: As you can see, she literally was working with any
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: and everybody in this episode. She, she, her personality works well.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: That's why she was able to go back with them
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: legacy women and go to the other show. That's why
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: she's able to do well on ultimate girls trip. That's
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: why people respect her. Like Ion, Chanel Ion loves Dorinda.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Everybody loves Dorinda. Dorinda's a great, she was a great
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: housewife and she's good at being a television personality. That's just.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: She's a star. Every show needs Dorinda.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Every show needs her. So, clip. Andy came in looking dapper.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, he did.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Hey, Andy, how are you?
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Andy, you know, I love you. And we've always kept
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: it P for professional. Uh-huh. This was the first time
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, hey, Andy. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: His hair was done.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, what up, though, Andy?
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Andy had been in that Let's Jam. Okay. Andy had
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: been in that Dukes. Okay. And that Dax. You know
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying? That Pump It Up and that Bergamot.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Blue Magic. That's what Andy had been in.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Blue Magic.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Somebody had a rat tail comb, Carlos. A rat tail comb, Carlos.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: And picked that hair up and slicked it down. That's
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: what that was. It looked good. Yup. It looked good.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: I said, Andy been down to the Femi Salon? Where
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: he been? It looked good. He looked good. He did.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Andy looked great, exceptional. And he gave a really compassionate speech,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: reminding us that they're almost at close to 200 housewives
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: that has joined this franchise. He called them his avengers.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: And tells them how much he loves them. A great speech.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Because look, at the end of the day, he is.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: The godfather of those women.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: And they really, those women. What's so funny about Andy today,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: after 20 years, till this day, he still has to
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: text or call them to convince them like, hey, stop
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: tweeting or hey. let us in and give us their storyline. Like,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: to this day, all the producers will be like, we tried.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: And then once Andy picks up the.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Phone, they'll listen to Andy.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: 99.9%, they'll say, okay, fine.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Shout out to Andy, man. Andy, cool as hell.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: And Andy, let me promote my shit on Watch What
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Happens Live twice. Like, he's always been a great, great,
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: great person. So shout out to Andy, man. Hell yeah.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Yes. And not only is he a great person, Dustin,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: he's also a great producer because I didn't know Andy
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: was going to show his messy producing hand.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: And he did. Yep. Yep.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't think you guys understand what's happening. Andy,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: for the first time, gets to be a producer on
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: camera with these women in scene. Not the reunion stage.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: He's in scene with them. He grabs Teresa Melissa. Mm-hmm.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: And say, we about to talk about this shit. And
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: it was a perfect place for the conversation. Perfect time.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Every everything about it was, was right for the moment.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: They needed to have that conversation. We've all heard the
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: rumors that they've been peaceable or whatever. We've seen social
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: media shit, but seeing them engage, this is the first
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: time we've seen them engage positively on camera since when, Carlos?
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: The 60s? Woodstock? When was the last time, Carlos? Shit.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: When, Carlos? The Great Depression. The first one, not this one.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: But anyway, it has been a long time, and it
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: was high time that that conversation was had.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: It was so interesting because, to your point, we've never
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: really seen them enjoy each other. And even when Melissa...
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: And listen... I told you I've made a pact myself, right?
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: That because Melissa and Teresa made up and I've spoken
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: to Teresa personally, I'm not, hey, Teresa, I'm not ever
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: going to say anything about Teresa and Melissa's friendship. I'm
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: now done with it because I don't want to cause
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: anything to where Melissa could say, well, we know Carlos
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: King is your friend, and he's talking shit about me,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: and I put Teresa in a comfortable place. So I
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: am recusing myself from ever talking about their relationship.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: That's what happens when your voice is that big in
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: this space, huh?
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: You said what?
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: That's what happens when your voice and what you say
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: is that big in this space, huh? You know what?
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to say nothing about that because I
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: do not want what I say to make it worse
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: for them. Wow. Wow, Carlos King. Wow. Wow, Stephanie.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Wow. The only thing I'll say is conversations have been had.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: They're probably being had right now. Oh, yeah.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: And I'm not touching it. I'm not touching it.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: So shout out to that. But yes, exactly. And I, too,
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: decided to give Melissa a clean slate because that's really
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: what it is. I let go. This is a reboot.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: of the Housewives of New Jersey. It's all new women
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: outside of Teresa, Melissa, and Dolores. Are they letting it go?
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: I'm letting it go. So much so that when Melissa
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: entered the party at Dorinda's Bluestone Manor and Kyle tore
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: her up about having that same dress on, talking about
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: why she got the dress on I had on at
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: the reunion or whatever, I was almost about to jump
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: in them double-dutch ropes of let's get Melissa, but I
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: was like, you know what? Let me not, because I
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: said we're giving everybody a clean slate. she actually looks
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: nice in her silver and gold version of the gold
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: dress that Kyle Richards had on. She actually looked nice.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: She did.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: I'm being nice. And all jokes aside, it was good
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: to see them be good to each other.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: It was. And even when, listen, even when, because you know,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: you know how like we talk about how Portia, you
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: could tell the wheels are turning and she's like, let
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: me turn them back so I don't go there. when
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: they're talking, Andy, Teresa, Melissa.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: And Melissa said, I did text you that I auditioned.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: And you can tell Teresa was like, I'm trying.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: I'm not even going to do it. Yeah.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: But it's not, okay, whatever. And then what I did appreciate,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Andy apologizing to Teresa.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: How, you know, the way it was handled. He apologizes,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: which then made Melissa say, look, you were here first.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: You were here first. I apologized. And I enjoyed, honestly,
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: I did. And I'm being very honest. I did enjoy
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: Melissa and Teresa having that fun moment. It was the
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: first time to me that I saw the truest reflection
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: of what sisters-in-law do when they love each other.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Like that funny sort of like, okay, girl, we're not
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: going to do this. We're not. Don't let anybody change
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: your mind. I'm not going to let anybody change my mind.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Don't let anybody change your mind. And that's when I said,
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Once again, I'm Rikuzi myself.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: And Teresa saying you were a fresh of breath air.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: Fresh of breath air. That's right. Ingrediences and Duellen. Dellen. Jellen. Joellen. Okay,
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: now here's the thing. What that scene also did, right,
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: in addition to providing a sincerely you know, a sincerely
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: intended bridge between them, right? Even though it provided that,
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: what else that scene did was spare us of two
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: or three episodes of them meeting up and talking about
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: how they're going to be good to each other next season.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: We can just get right into the season because we've
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: gotten the bridge moment that makes a connection as far
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: as that part of the story. And now we can
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: just move full speed ahead with a brand new season.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: We don't have to waste no time rehashing old shit
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: and that's what i was grateful for like this means
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: we really have a real clean slate going into this
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: next season so.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: Yes yes and i i enjoyed it um i did
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: not enjoy seeing lisa and heather again so dustin um
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: you over it you i i fast forward i don't
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: know what happened okay but um.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Nothing same old same old heather was pointing and leaning
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: forward Um, Lisa was denying everything and still name dropping. Um, um,
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: first thing she said was, are you kidding me? I
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: had Charlie XCX at one of my events. Like first
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: thing she said, I'm like, damn. So it's shout out
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: to Charlie XCX cause I like her music. Um, she
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: has a song called sympathy was a knife that I love.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: But anyway, um, Lisa was name dropping. Heather was leaning
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: and still auditioning to be the star of the show. Um,
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: That's all. That's all it was.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: I figured. I literally said, I just, it was jockeying
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: for position. And listen, y'all can disagree with me. I
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: just thought Heather was performing for her boss, Andy.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: And I was sort of like- And Andy thought it too.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: That's why he looked exhausted and his energy was totally
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: different for that moment than it was with Melissa and Teresa.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: See the difference? America and some parts of Canada- There's
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: a difference in the way that Andy responded to the
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: energy from Heather and Lisa, as opposed to the way
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: he responded to the energy between Melissa and Teresa. One
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: feud is real. One feud is a feud with air
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: quotes that is pushed and exaggerated with a goal in mind,
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: as opposed to two motherfuckers that really hate each other.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Like there's a difference. Yes.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Yes. Yes, it was obvious.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: And whatever.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: I just couldn't do it. I'm like, Heather is so thirsty.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: I digress.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, I got it out. Now, the finale moment, they
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: all go outside. It's cold as shit.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: Giselle was cold because she didn't even have real fur
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: with that stole on. I said, Giselle, what is this
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: felt thing? porch carpet stall. It looked like, what is this?
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: What is that? Why didn't you have a real fur
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: piece on all that goddamn beautiful fox and raccoon and
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: coyote and shit and mink that was all up through
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: that goddamn coat check and Giselle, who is one of
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: the actual cast members, part of the ensemble. You couldn't
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: even step the way Porsche in them and stepping in
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: all them furs and shit. Giselle, And you are a
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: pastor's wife. You should understand the world of fur. You
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: are a black pastor's wife for many years. And you're
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: that type of nigga that says, I know you know
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: how important fur is to a moment like that. Why
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: didn't she come correct? Oh, you're asking me? You. It
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: looked like a costume, like a Cinderella costume. Oh, Dustin.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: It looked like it all came together with a scepter,
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: the same scepter that Portia was trying to, or Kenya
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: was trying to show up Portia's, well, Portia was trying
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: to show up Kenya's ass, actually. Giselle just needed that
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: and it would have been set. I don't understand what
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: that was about. Like Giselle got to do better with
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: that style shit for real. Not for nothing, everybody talks
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: about how pretty Giselle is, and she is beautiful. But
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: as the reigning one over there in Potomac, well, co-chair
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: of Potomac, because Potomac is a unique case as far
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: as who runs the show. Potomac is actually co-chaired, and
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: it is what it is. But as one of the
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: leads of Potomac, Giselle, you have a duty to look better.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: You do. You do. especially when the look is a
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: part of it. All season long on Ultimate Girls Trip,
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: Giselle can't be that cheap hoarding money like that. She
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: 11 seasons in deep over in Potomac. Why is the
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: look not matching up? There's been times when she's gotten
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: it right. The black Versace at the reunion, the white
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: dress at the reunion with the long pink nails. Those
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: are the times when she's gotten it right. Everything else
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: has been wrong. And this entire girls trip, we've been disappointed.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: And Giselle, we like looking at you. We like the
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: chaos that you provide. We want your look to match
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: up with that. Ashley Darby got it together. With that
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: very video you're talking about of Ashley on the red
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: carpet at Culture Con in that pony hair blazer that
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: was worn as a dress with that beautiful brown hair up.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: Ashley looks so motherfucking good. So good. And her style
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: has improved. I love Giselle. Love her on that show.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: I just want her to care about how she looks.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: The costumes all look crazy. Diana Ross. Who was that?
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: Then like the other one, the 70s shit, the pink
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: one that was fitting crazy and just didn't, it wasn't
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: flattering to her. That short dress, like Giselle, come on.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: There's no reason, there's no excuse. Put a little oomph
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: in it, like Jagged Edge said. You know what I'm saying?
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: Portia did. Portia looked great the entire motherfucking season of
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: Girls Trip. Everything had, you could tell an effort was made.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: Giselle just, let me pack my bag. Good thing for me.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: And then talking about people. You know what I'm saying?
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: So it's just, I don't know. I just want better
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: for her when it comes to that. And I would
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: want her to want better for herself. She can't be
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: being that cheap and tight with the money, Carlos. What's
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: the problem? If she making money, she on two shows.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: She's making money. I think if I had to guess,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: I really do think because she's raising three girls.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: They raised and they daddy helped.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: Not they raised.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: They raised. They raised. They up. She ain't raising. She
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: didn't lifting them up where they belong. Like the song said,
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: Giselle lift us up where we belong. She didn't lifted
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: her daughters up where they belong. It's over. It's over, man.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: It's no excuse. Like she got to tighten that look up, bro.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: For real. It's no excuse. The stakes is too high.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: It's no excuse up there. Cause then you standing up
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: here with Kyle Richards, Teresa, motherfucking, um, Portia. Hello. Like
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: who is known for literally being beautiful people that don't
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: even like Portia be like, yo, is she beautiful? And
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: she'd be in her shit.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: You can't hate on that.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: She'd be in her shit dressed, having her shit on. Like,
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: so how can you stand up there next to that
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: 11 seasons deep in your own right? Has Giselle been
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: a housewife longer than Portia? She left after 13 and
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: came back for 16.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: Yes. And she was demoted season seven.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Five, six, skip seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17. Yeah.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: So she's 10.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: And Giselle is.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: 11 seasons straight.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: And what's about to premiere season 12 or 11? 11.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: 11. Okay.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: So, yeah. So they're even. Catch up, Mustard. You know
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying? That's what you gotta do. Catch up, muster,
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: because there's no excuse. Pretty as she is standing next
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: to Portia, they really could have represented. And I know
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: she thought it because she looks at people and assesses
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: situations in that way. So I know Giselle was like,
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: how am I sitting here in a twin set and
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: she over here in Schiaparelli? You know what I'm saying?
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: Why am I in Contempo Casuals, which no offense to
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: Contempo Casuals. When Portia is literally like head to toe,
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: you know, Agni Studios and Rick Owens. I don't know.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: I just wonder. That's all.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Well, wonder no more because I think you answered your question. Yeah.
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: She's cheap.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: That's what it is. I think Giselle's just being cheap
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: and saving her money, which I'm not mad at because
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: The money you don't spend, you keep. And saving money
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: is what we all should be doing, especially when you
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: work in television and entertainment, right? Things that can be
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: fleeting for some, not for all, but for some. It
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: can be momentarily, you know, momentary financial happiness. So saving
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: your money is the right thing to do. I just
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: wish you would save a little bit less and a
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: little bit more on letting somebody pick your clothes out, please.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: Because she deserves it. She looks so pretty when she
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: gets it right.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: She does.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. And they better than me because you can't cuss
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: me out with that shit on. She be with them
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: frocks and smocks and shit she be having. You can't
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: cuss me out in that. I'm sorry. First of all,
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: why you look like you finna teach art and you
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: cussing me out? This ain't drop off. Why you look
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: like you finna carpool me somewhere? Like, no.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: No.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: Anyway. I literally can't. I can't. I can't. Great episode.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: I can't.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: You know, she dressed miscellaneous like a motherfucker.
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: So, there were fireworks, Dustin.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: And the show finally ended. I will say, thank you
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: guys for this special. I could have done with only
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: five episodes. Max. Dustin. I was like, you know what's
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: so funny, Dustin? I get this since you agreed. Dustin,
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: after Atlanta, I didn't care.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: We divested. After Atlanta, we divested. We all made the
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: decision to divest because that was the big moment. I
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: think a great decision. And I don't want to sound
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: like those people that are trying to beat a dead horse, right?
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: But a really dope twist could have been, because I
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: think the show was great, right? It was lengthy, but
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: it was great, right? But I think what could have
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: been great is if when Nene showed up to Atlanta,
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: she just joined the cast and continued on the trip
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: with them. I think that would have sustained interest in
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: a way that would have like, you know what I'm saying?
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: I think that could have like really reinvigorated it. I
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: hated that her moment.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Or to your point, because my producer brain kicked in.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: Or to your point, how dope, and you will love this,
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: how dope would it have been, like you said, after
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: Lana Nene comes on, and then maybe we pick up
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: more Housewives and drop some back off.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah. Rotate this cast a little bit.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Like, Giselle, thank you. Kim is coming now. Or whatever, like,
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: thank you, Lisa Barlow. I think, and again, it's only
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: because It started to get redundant. Like, okay.
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: And let them vote. Let them vote who goes home.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. As much as I love Luann, I
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: could have done without Luann.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: Midnight train to Georgia, baby. See you.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: Same with Vicky. Like, at a certain point, you were
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: so good. I would have said, okay, guys, we're picking
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: up other women, and the next four episodes are going
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: to be a new story. new crop of women. So that,
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: but we could have been like, oh, how is Mimi
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: interacting with a, with a Dorinda? You know what I'm saying?
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: Then Dorinda takes them to the finale.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: I would love that. I would love that personally. Yep.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Well, Raindrops, this is our final recap, but.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: I have so enjoyed this.
• 56:39
