RHOC Reunion: The Fall of Emily Simpson (Part 2 of 2) (RHOC Reunion Full Recap)

What's up Bros? It is part 2 of our RHOC Reunion Recap and in this episode Katie takes center stage. Heathers vendetta against her has not let up. And surprisingly Emily has joined in on the fight and we listen to a 20 minute witch hunt where the right side of the room has clearly dug up as much dirt on Katie as they could possibly find. Old lawsuits, a road rage incident. The obsession with a newcomer is bizarre. Why Heather is so stuck on the paparazzi thing makes no sense to us. But we listen as Katie defends herself against the road rage incident in claiming she was the victim, while Heather claims via court documents that the other man involved was the victim. Katie never received her court summons to defend herself so was immediately found guilty. The story adds up when you listen to Katie's retelling but again, the right side of the room has zoned in on her. Then we listen to a patent lawsuit that was dismissed and Emily, the patent lawyer, who has reminded us ad nauseam this episode that she is a lawyer, doesn't have anything to add to the one area of expertise she has. Instead she decides now is the time to question the custody battle that Katie went through, implying that Katie was either an unfit mother or didn't want to be involved with her kids. In the strangest of low blows, Emily's stock just plummeted for us. The episode caps off with Jen and Ryan and again, Emily leads the charge. Look, we understand Ryan still has a lot of red flags and question marks. But at the end of the day, Jen is an adult and made her decision AND Ryan has immunity. So while we don't necessarily expect this to end well, its time for the ladies to move on. Why Emily needs to hear that they can at least admit some wrongdoing is again strange. Why do you care?

What's up Bros? We broke down part 1 of the RHOC reunion into 2 parts to make sure we covered all of the drama. In part 1 of our recap, we immediately get into the Shannon and Tamra issue. Tamra continues to point the finger at Shannon while also trying to say that she sees where she went wrong during the season. Gina takes up for Shannon and Emily tells Tamra to simply say sorry and move on. Instead, Tamra continues to bring up Shannon's drinking despite Shannon seemingly being on the right track in her life. At the same time, Shannon is particularly thrown off by Heather's behavior at the end of the season. I think it's safe to say that we all were. The moment in Sonoma where she confided in Heather and the betrayal she felt is still fresh. Then we discuss the Travis and Gina of it all and why the stairs story was brought up again. The group including Andy, want to know where they go from here. Shannon is not interested in any kind of friendship with Tamra, and when Emily tells Tamra to just apologize, Tamra thought she was talking to Shannon... It seems these two will never find their way back to friendship and we imagine that we will come back to this issue at some point in this 3-Part reunion. Coming up in the next episode we discuss all things Katie, and get into the Jen and Ryan of it all. Want more Bros content?

What's up Bros? The gang heads to Palm Springs minus Heather and Mary. Tensions are high as Bronwyn doesn't appreciate that Lisa and Meredith seem to take Heathers side in their dispute. Whitney and Lisa are still at odds as Lisa wants an apology from Justin, while Whitney wants an apology from Lisa. Seth and Meredith are going through it when Seth lets her know that he has to leave the trip early to go back to work. Lisa makes things worse when she facetimes Heather in the hot tub while Bronwyn is in the bathroom. This leads to a blowout when Bronwyn confronts Lisa about the double standard that she has when it comes to her friendships. Todd decides to get involved and he quickly goes from lovable old fella to controlling rich asshat in a hurry. We don't care for the dynamic we witnessed between him and Bronwyn this episode. And then he takes it upon himself to tell JB Husband Boss that if he and Lisa don't clean up their act then they need to leave. The group is shaky at best and this trip has the makings of an absolute disaster. And hey, Todd, this is a reality TV show pal. What the hell did you expect? Want more Bros content?

What's up Bros? We're still trudging away with RHONY because YOU KEEP LISTENING TO US (thank you so much for the support) but this has been a tough season to get through. In this episode, Pavit and Jessel's relationship is on display as she attempts to have a conversation with him about her embryos. Wanting to start therapy, she brings it up at dinner only to be met with a very dismissive and somewhat belittling Pavit, which we did not care for. Raquel opens up to the audience and cast members more about her journey with her ex-husband, their business together, and how her and Mel began their relationship. Raquel is arguably the only bright spot of this whole season and you could argue its simply because she's being authentic. She's also objectively really cool, but we appreciate that she's actually showing us who she is. Jenna continues to not want to address things on camera but appears to be going above and beyond to prove to Erin that she's a good friend. Erin is throwing a party for her Mezcal company and says in a confessional that she is "bringing mezcal to the states" as though we haven't had mezcal in the U.S. for an extended period of time. Brynn is still at odds with the group and yes she is trying too hard. But at least she's trying? Ubah is having a tough season overall to the point that we are beginning to question if she should be on this show. Our largest gripe is lack of authenticity. We've said it before and we will say it again, it is really difficult to care and get invested in these ladies when they simply do not show us who they truly are. The fear of a bad public image is in turn making this a bad show. We will always hold out hope but knowing that they wrapped filming early because of an irreconcilable argument does not give us a whole lot of confidence. Want more Bros content?

What's up Bros? We're back in Lake Norman with the Potomac crew and can we just take a sec? Can we take a moment to recognize the comeback that Potomac has made this season? Bravo to the entire cast. But back to business. In this episode Mia let's slip that she overheard a butt dial form Karen implying she may have been with another man... Karen is still upset with Jaqueline for the comment at her birthday party and it looks like she has Jaqueline in her sights and Jaqueline attempting to stand toe to toe with the Grande Dame will not end well for her. However it is important to point out that Karen STILL will not take any accountability in regards to her DUI, which is very disappointing. Mia continues to juggle the Gordon/ Ink debacle and Jaqueline actually speaks some sense in trying to understand Gordon's side of things and why Mia may not be seeing the big picture. Gizelle heads back for Angel and Adore's cap and gown ceremony. Stacey and Kierna have taken to Karen's defense and wish that the group would ease up on her. That is until Stacey finds out the long list of charges that Karen has to her name. Which is ironic considering she went after Jaqueline for her ex/ coparent/ boyfriend? (Mr PP) for HIS charges. This season is delivering on all fronts. Drama is great but not too dark. The cast is getting along and genuinely seem to interact with one another. We (Steel especially) are so happy RHOP has returned to form because when it hits? It hits. Want more Bros content? Get access to weekly exclusive Bravo News episodes. Monthly zooms and more!

What's up Bros? We will be the first to say... We doubted RHOC coming into this season. Both Shooter and I did not enjoy last season. But boy were we wrong. This was 17 straight episodes of great TV. Did they go too low sometimes? Yes. Were the Shannon attacks too much? Yes. But all in all they were able to piece together a great season with great drama and a cast that really brought it. We watched the rise of Jen, cementing herself as one of the better housewives on Bravo right now. Katie started off slow but had a meteoric rise. And the OG's understood their assignment (Alexis sucked, still sucks and can kick rocks she had nothing to do with the success of this season nor did Johnny Dickhead J). In the season finale, Jen is engaged. She throws a tacky bridesmaid party to celebrate. Tensions are still high between Emily, Heather and Katie because of the potential trash talk going on with their children. Tamra wants to smooth things over with Jen but is placing ALL blame on Shannon interfering with their friendship rather than take any accountability. Alexis is still riding the 'truth will prevail' train in regards to Shannon. We get to see (are forced to sit through) multiple Johnny J confessionals and scenes and guess what? He just wants you to think hes a good guy! John, buddy, you stink on ice. The episode ends with reports of Ryan's involvement in the Shohei Ohtani gambling scandal and Tamra feels as though shes been vindicated. All in all, a great end to a great season and we are actually looking forward to the reunion as we have a lot of questions still up in the air as to where this group stands. Want more Bro's content?

What's up Bros? In this weeks RHONY episode, Jessel is planning a Clueless themed party. As we've been discussing all season, the show is pretty dry and it seems like the audience is growing tired of it as well. Erin has a major issue with Jenna as she feels like she hasn't been a good friend to her, despite Erin putting in the effort. Or is she just jealous of Jenna's new relationship with Sai. Ubah and Raquel hang out in hopes that Ubah can give her a better second impression after the Brynn nonsense in the Hamptons. And Ubah calls attention to the 'angry black woman' sentiment from Brynn. We truly do not know why Rebecca Minkoff is on this show. Sai gets some closure as she spreads her moms ashes at their upstate NY house. After Abe lets slip to Jenna that their is tension between Jenna and Erin (Jenna was unaware), it forces a conversation between the two... and they make up immediately. We dont root for fights and failed relationships here, we dont want manufactured drama... that being said, we do want authenticity and it appears that every single member of this cast is so overly concerned with how they are perceived that what we're left with is a lacking and inauthentic product and for lack of a better word, boring.

Whats up Bros? The ladies of Potomac head to Lake Norman. This season has been a breath of fresh air and the newbies are performing very well. In this episode, Mia is upset with Karen for not taking accountability in her DUI. Gizelle also has to have a convo with Karen in regards to the award show/ GnA event debacle. Jaqueline claims to want to get out from under Mia's shadow, but in the same breath takes offense when Jassi claims she is Mia's NEW sidekick... Stacey is still upset with Ashley for outing her new man to the group. Karen takes out her frustrations on Jaqueline for telling everyone that she called her drunk during the birthday party. The group addresses Stacey being "boring". Things get interesting at dinner when Mia lets Karen know that she was privy to a butt-dial conversation... "The ladies think I'm with Ray"... Is Karen up to no good? Perhaps the return of blue eyes? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
