[00:05:10] of the Real Housewives of Potomac Season Eight coverage
[00:05:15] on the Purple Pants podcast.
[00:05:19] It's a man who is a menu.
[00:05:21] Me and potatoes like we cook and up a great stew.
[00:05:24] It's a man who is a menu.
[00:05:26] Me and potatoes like we cook and up a great stew.
[00:05:34] Let's get it started.
[00:05:36] Here, let's get it.
[00:05:38] Listen, we are back, back, back, back, back.
[00:05:42] The Purple Pants podcast.
[00:05:43] You thought we were done, but we're back.
[00:05:47] Listen, if Bravo gives us a three part reunion series
[00:05:51] that more than likely should have been a one part series.
[00:05:55] Oh, and I are back to give you the Real Housewives of Potomac
[00:06:00] Season Eight, all of the reunion specials
[00:06:03] we just want to give you our takes on it.
[00:06:06] It's been such a great season.
[00:06:07] Jatia, how are you feeling?
[00:06:09] How are you doing?
[00:06:10] I am feeling great.
[00:06:11] I am glad to be here.
[00:06:13] I could have been anywhere in the world,
[00:06:14] but I chose to be with the Purple Pants podcast.
[00:06:16] So I am feeling delighted that we are at the end of the season.
[00:06:22] It's the end of an era and we'll talk a little bit about that,
[00:06:25] about like the changes.
[00:06:27] And I think all of our audience has been going back and forth
[00:06:32] about since the very beginning of the season,
[00:06:34] what changes are needed, right?
[00:06:36] And we're seeing. Yeah, definitely.
[00:06:39] Again, I think the MVP of the season and the MVP of the reunion
[00:06:44] was Mia and Gordon.
[00:06:46] I think that Mia showed up.
[00:06:49] She was transparent,
[00:06:51] although there isn't really necessarily a resolution with Mia,
[00:06:56] Gordon and herself showed up.
[00:06:59] And so again, I think that Mia was, in my opinion,
[00:07:03] the highlight of the reunion.
[00:07:06] Absolutely.
[00:07:06] She is not afraid to talk about the tough subjects,
[00:07:11] to scrutinize herself,
[00:07:14] to put herself out there on the table and her family.
[00:07:17] Chash, she put her kids out there, her husband,
[00:07:21] her baby daddy, her boyfriend, her radio personality,
[00:07:24] everybody, her best friend.
[00:07:26] Look, everything was on the table.
[00:07:29] OK, so yeah, it Mia came to the reunion.
[00:07:33] She let us know that she has not technically filed for divorce
[00:07:37] because they are going through something with their businesses
[00:07:40] and it has been recommended that they resolve that
[00:07:43] before they move forward with the divorce,
[00:07:45] but they are living separately.
[00:07:46] She is in a new relationship, not with a rapper,
[00:07:49] but with a radio personality.
[00:07:51] On market radio personality.
[00:07:53] OK. Be clear. OK.
[00:07:55] Who we see.
[00:07:56] And again, like we love it, there is a lot of like cliffhangers
[00:08:00] on these reunions with Mia, where Jeremiah's
[00:08:05] the paternity of Jeremiah is in question.
[00:08:09] Is it really, though?
[00:08:10] I just think like, inca dilulu,
[00:08:13] like that I mean everybody is saying it, you know, they say,
[00:08:16] you know, you got the baby.
[00:08:18] The baby got the baby got Gordon Fates.
[00:08:20] OK. Or whatever, which I thought was very interesting.
[00:08:23] You know, it's going to be a Mori episode of many Mori mystery
[00:08:28] about the baby.
[00:08:30] But really overall over these three episodes,
[00:08:35] what I really came to the conclusion of is really there was no
[00:08:39] resolution in some of the conflicts.
[00:08:42] So where do you go from here?
[00:08:43] Because I really feel like this whole season
[00:08:46] we have been hashing argument from last season.
[00:08:51] And, you know, we still talking about blue eyes with Shasha
[00:08:55] and right blue eyes still there.
[00:08:58] We still talking about blue eyes is in the dream.
[00:09:00] Blue eyes is the wet dream. OK.
[00:09:02] Blue eyes isn't fair. He's a wet dream.
[00:09:04] So we're clear. Stop.
[00:09:07] We're still talking about him.
[00:09:08] We're still talking about one in the hotel.
[00:09:12] Bill, we still talking about the shrines.
[00:09:15] We still talking about, you know, Ashley's trying to divorce.
[00:09:20] Right. Giselle and Chris, that sort of thing.
[00:09:23] The only really sort of new thing was, you know,
[00:09:26] Keanna throwing hand and what?
[00:09:30] And oh, and, you know, trying trying to get, you know, that was.
[00:09:35] Pretty much it. I agree.
[00:09:38] But I also have to say, Keanna, when she came on on the third part,
[00:09:42] she might have only been on the stage for five minutes.
[00:09:44] But Keanna did her job.
[00:09:46] She, in my opinion, she's a unifier of the core ladies.
[00:09:51] She's friends with Wendy Candace, Karen, Giselle.
[00:09:56] He had more. She did more than that.
[00:09:58] Could it? No. OK.
[00:10:00] Well, listen, but then when they talked about the incident
[00:10:05] with her and Deborah, Keanna said that she's never been in
[00:10:08] a physical altercation of her life.
[00:10:10] They said, why were you swinging then?
[00:10:12] Keanna said, Keanna said I was a tech.
[00:10:16] And so I defended myself.
[00:10:18] And so I appreciated that.
[00:10:19] Then when Ashley said that she was right at that.
[00:10:22] I just want to say that moves like that don't come from time.
[00:10:24] Well, I mean, listen, but for all that we know of Keanna,
[00:10:30] we don't know her to be a fighter.
[00:10:31] But listen, if you if you throw, if you not Keanna going buck.
[00:10:35] And so that's what she did.
[00:10:37] Ashley apologized.
[00:10:38] Keanna gave the shade of the season and said
[00:10:40] that Ashley is the master of apologies after the fact.
[00:10:44] And so it was just like the way that Keanna
[00:10:46] just was delivering the shade for me.
[00:10:48] I was like, girl, come on.
[00:10:51] And so we know that since this
[00:10:54] since the first part of the reunion has aired,
[00:10:57] Candace announced
[00:10:59] announced that she would not be returning next week.
[00:11:03] Focus on family, I think is.
[00:11:07] And yeah, you got hired.
[00:11:10] We are. OK, if that were the only announcement to come out,
[00:11:14] then we would maybe believe that she decided not to come back.
[00:11:18] Then the next day it was revealed
[00:11:20] that Robbins contract was not renewed.
[00:11:22] And so we know that.
[00:11:25] Candace's contract was not renewed.
[00:11:28] So like.
[00:11:29] News just got out and they just, you know, are trying to get ahead of it.
[00:11:33] But yeah, the contracts came out.
[00:11:35] They see what's happening on the reunion.
[00:11:37] I think, honestly, Juan didn't show up for the reunion.
[00:11:40] But Robin is out.
[00:11:42] I think that's it.
[00:11:43] I'm with you like Dorenda from Housewives of New York said on the girls trip
[00:11:48] on Paul, she's on pause.
[00:11:52] Yeah, for me and again, I love my girl Robin and I'm, you know,
[00:11:56] I'm sticking with my green eye bandits, but why not showing up this season?
[00:12:00] And I have to agree with Wendy.
[00:12:02] Wendy said some robin like the least that he could do
[00:12:07] after all of this turmoil that you are going through is say, baby,
[00:12:11] I will show up and take some of the hits for you.
[00:12:15] And Juan couldn't do that.
[00:12:16] And unfortunately, Juan is such a huge part of your storyline.
[00:12:21] And with him not showing up, it's like we're not able to get the full robin.
[00:12:26] Well, not only that, but like Juan also, that's a bad business decision.
[00:12:30] Dude, like this is a platform to, you know,
[00:12:33] a jump it off point for your other businesses.
[00:12:35] You ain't got a job, my dude.
[00:12:37] You need to show up to the reunion like she needs to stay employed.
[00:12:41] And you're part of you are part of the story.
[00:12:43] You're part of the business.
[00:12:44] You are the story.
[00:12:46] Look, and he ain't keeping up like he knows
[00:12:49] if you honestly know that that's not you and you this is something
[00:12:53] that, you know, is made up then let it roll off your back, my dude.
[00:12:57] But this is like you trying to get the coin.
[00:12:59] You messing up your pocket.
[00:13:01] Yeah, I thought it was so shady when Andy was like, Juan doesn't have
[00:13:05] a basketball game to go to his coming.
[00:13:08] Yes, that was so that was very interesting.
[00:13:12] I thought also Giselle hearing from Giselle talking about her father.
[00:13:17] Just touched my heart.
[00:13:19] I'll wait for my tissue square.
[00:13:23] Oh, my God.
[00:13:23] There because, you know, you're going to cry even when it's not about you.
[00:13:26] But Giselle talked about her father's last days,
[00:13:30] her sending him off.
[00:13:32] He didn't want to funeral.
[00:13:33] He always wanted a celebration of life.
[00:13:35] And I kind of love that.
[00:13:36] And I also just want to say to D'Atea, who is the executive of my estate
[00:13:40] in the untimely passing of myself.
[00:13:45] I don't want a funeral.
[00:13:46] I too want a celebration of life.
[00:13:50] And if we could get Michelle Williams,
[00:13:53] a destiny child, you know what I want to say about Michelle?
[00:13:57] This is for my celebration of life.
[00:13:59] All right. OK, I will use that.
[00:14:01] I will use that line.
[00:14:03] That one day she unblock you in perpetuity and.
[00:14:08] Wait, how do you know that she has has me blocked on Twitter?
[00:14:11] You saw it.
[00:14:12] It is sorry.
[00:14:12] And I think it's hilarious that you were like
[00:14:16] that you basically were trying to stick up and her social media thought
[00:14:20] it was shade and so they blocked you.
[00:14:22] I find it funny because you love Michelle Williams.
[00:14:26] It's the craziest thing.
[00:14:27] I absolutely love Michelle Williams and maybe like I'm going to say 10 years
[00:14:31] ago, I had a co-worker.
[00:14:33] His name is Justin Carter and actually he works for the Shade Room now.
[00:14:36] So any of the Shade Room investigations when you hear this is Justin Carter,
[00:14:40] that's my friend.
[00:14:41] And so we always loved music.
[00:14:43] And so we would go back and forth on Twitter about little Kim and Michelle Williams.
[00:14:47] And we were going back and forth about Michelle Williams one day.
[00:14:50] And I really think that her social media or she thought
[00:14:54] us going back and forth was shade.
[00:14:57] But it really was love.
[00:14:59] And so I will never forget the next day I went online.
[00:15:02] It said blocked.
[00:15:04] I said.
[00:15:06] I haven't. I don't think I've ever been.
[00:15:08] I mean, like, I don't think I've ever gotten garnered so much attention
[00:15:13] that I've been blocked.
[00:15:14] So, you know, feel blessed that you were, you know, noticed.
[00:15:18] I don't know.
[00:15:18] I don't know what to say about that.
[00:15:20] That's just funny.
[00:15:21] It was very.
[00:15:22] I will make that appeal for your celebration of life to
[00:15:27] that appeal to Michelle Williams and her social media team
[00:15:31] and let them know that you you seriously stand.
[00:15:34] I really do.
[00:15:35] I thought it was interesting because they were talking about Giselle,
[00:15:38] her daughter is going away to school.
[00:15:41] Again, we rehashed the beef of Wendy and Candice making
[00:15:45] laughing at the girls.
[00:15:47] Wendy says that, oh, well, I congratulated you.
[00:15:51] Giselle said it didn't happen.
[00:15:53] Then Andy confirmed that the producers, they were like, well,
[00:15:55] wait, hold on.
[00:15:56] Wait, I'm getting new.
[00:15:57] Yeah, no, that didn't happen.
[00:15:58] No footage.
[00:15:59] We have no footage.
[00:16:00] We have no footage.
[00:16:01] Then the topic of Jason came up.
[00:16:04] I was unaware, but there were photos that were circulating
[00:16:08] literally days before this reunion that Jason was out
[00:16:12] kissing another lady.
[00:16:15] Giselle had stated that they are not in a committed relationship.
[00:16:18] They are friends.
[00:16:19] Giselle is free to see other people.
[00:16:21] I think maybe NECA or it was probably Mia asked
[00:16:25] Giselle, are you talking to an athlete?
[00:16:27] Like, yeah, I love it when she's just so straightforward.
[00:16:31] Giselle has been fortunate in relationship fire.
[00:16:34] OK, she has been cheated on and, you know, she has heard it all.
[00:16:40] She was married to Jamal Bryant.
[00:16:42] And, you know, in that case, the rumors were true.
[00:16:44] And so she knows how to deal with those sort of things.
[00:16:48] And she knows what's up.
[00:16:49] So I'm glad to see her setting up boundaries from the jump.
[00:16:53] OK, and not like fuzzy boundaries like, you know, Gordon and Mia,
[00:16:58] you could dip out, but only this if on Tuesdays.
[00:17:01] But if it's a leap year, it's Wednesday.
[00:17:04] And if you do do it, I'm taking your phone.
[00:17:07] I'm locking you in a room and I'm draining the bank account.
[00:17:09] And then I'm becoming bipolar.
[00:17:11] Bipolar.
[00:17:15] Hello, it is Ryan.
[00:17:17] And I was on a flight the other day playing one of my favorite
[00:17:19] social spin slot games on Chumbacasino.com.
[00:17:22] I looked over the person sitting next to me.
[00:17:24] And you know what they were doing?
[00:17:25] They were also playing Chumbacasino.
[00:17:26] Coincidence? I think not.
[00:17:28] Everybody's loving having fun with it.

[00:17:47] Well, so let's talk about it, though.
[00:17:50] Again, Gordon came out and Gordon came out.
[00:17:55] Guns ablaze and he wanted to clear the air
[00:17:58] and Gordon on this third episode came out
[00:18:00] and basically said he was diagnosed with bipolar.
[00:18:03] Two things I want to say about that.
[00:18:04] One, for an older black man,
[00:18:07] that's like your dad, Jatio or my stepdad.
[00:18:10] Like, can you imagine them acknowledging mental health?
[00:18:14] Right? Like, no, like not at all.
[00:18:17] And so for Gordon to come out and basically say bipolar
[00:18:22] can talk about his manic episodes for me as a black man.
[00:18:26] I'm like, I love that.
[00:18:29] And especially from an older black man
[00:18:32] and for him to be able to take accountability.
[00:18:34] I loved it.
[00:18:36] Look, I agree.
[00:18:38] You know, I jokingly said, you know, he came out as bipolar.
[00:18:41] But, you know, for you to acknowledge clearly,
[00:18:44] if something wrong with you, if you are locking somebody,
[00:18:47] if you are locking somebody in a room,
[00:18:48] someone's wrong with you, like point blank.
[00:18:52] And I'm glad that he was able to get the help he needed
[00:18:56] and understand what's going on because that's not
[00:18:58] that's not normal or acceptable behavior.
[00:19:00] Not at all.
[00:19:02] Now, can I add a butt in there?
[00:19:06] How big is the butt?
[00:19:08] I mean, it's medium size because although I just said all that I said
[00:19:12] and I stand by what I stand, I loved hearing about it.
[00:19:15] I would be remiss if I didn't say.
[00:19:18] It's very convenient.
[00:19:22] You know what he had to, I think at this point in time,
[00:19:25] if you don't see it, it's coming out on TV.
[00:19:28] So either you are a bad person or something is wrong with you.
[00:19:32] So I think it kind of forced his hand.
[00:19:35] And we've heard Mia talk about, you know, how he doggedly goes
[00:19:39] after the business things and this is the most poignant thing
[00:19:43] that kind of supports this is when she talks about this isn't the guy I married.
[00:19:47] So clearly his behavior is different, you know, stuff like that.
[00:19:51] And that happens with bipolar, manic depressive.
[00:19:53] And then she talks about how he was on the couch.
[00:19:56] Sounds like a depressive episode.
[00:19:58] You know, so I can see the highs and the lows.
[00:20:01] So at a certain point in time, you have to take some sort of accountability
[00:20:04] either, you know, again, you're just a bad person or something is wrong with you.
[00:20:08] You need to figure out what the heck is wrong with you.
[00:20:10] So yes, I do think it's convenient, but better late than never.
[00:20:14] I know.
[00:20:15] So I'm not mad.
[00:20:18] I'm not mad at all.
[00:20:19] And so that's really like kind of sort of what we get from Wendy and Gordon
[00:20:23] with Wendy, Mia, Mia and Gordon.
[00:20:27] Wendy.
[00:20:30] Or should I say Eddie?
[00:20:32] Because I mean, happy Eddie.
[00:20:34] Oh my gosh.
[00:20:35] Look, Eddie strapped his wife to his back and took care of her ass on the hill.
[00:20:40] OK, Eddie was ready.
[00:20:42] All right, ready, Eddie.
[00:20:43] Ready Eddie came.
[00:20:44] He was talking about his businesses.
[00:20:46] He was talking about his ventures.
[00:20:48] Look, Eddie, I think Eddie got an MBA because Eddie was ready.
[00:20:52] He hit his talking point.
[00:20:53] He was very concise in his message.
[00:20:56] He was delivering like it was a male group.
[00:20:59] OK. And that is why Wendy is still on the show.
[00:21:03] Why Wendy didn't get her notice and be put on pause was because not only does she
[00:21:08] bring it, which is medium, she's medium when she brings it.
[00:21:10] You know, but she also brings the rest.
[00:21:14] She brought a mama, she brought her sister.
[00:21:17] She brought, you know, all of that.
[00:21:19] So that's why Wendy stays and Robin goes.
[00:21:22] What Wendy did not bring was NECA though, so that we are clear.
[00:21:27] Wendy did not bring NECA.
[00:21:28] Now, I kind of was like feeling Robin for the majority of the reunion.
[00:21:33] I feel like even when her and NECA went back and forth,
[00:21:36] I feel like she stood her ground, although I was a little
[00:21:39] disagreeing on some of the things.
[00:21:41] But one of the biggest things that I have to vehemently, vehemently
[00:21:47] disagree on was when Giselle was talking about her father.
[00:21:51] And Wendy wanted to make this big spectacle about why I have nothing
[00:21:56] because when my mom was in the hospital,
[00:21:58] Jack and Giselle very clearly was like, I didn't know your mom was in the hospital.
[00:22:03] So I understand what Wendy was trying to say.
[00:22:06] Crying.
[00:22:07] Trying, but it had no legs.
[00:22:09] Let's be honest, it had no legs.
[00:22:10] It was like Lieutenant Dan and for us got no legs.
[00:22:13] No, it was like just not my.
[00:22:16] Lamp.
[00:22:17] Lieutenant Dan.
[00:22:19] Yeah, sorry.
[00:22:20] What the thing is, it's like she didn't know your mom was in the hospital.
[00:22:23] So don't bring that up.
[00:22:24] Yes, that's something personal to you.
[00:22:26] But like she was consistent.
[00:22:28] She wasn't talking about your mama because she was in the hospital just
[00:22:30] because that coincides doesn't make it worse.
[00:22:34] That's the point.
[00:22:35] And the fact is she did not know your mother was in the hospital.
[00:22:38] You know her dad died.
[00:22:41] And so and that's the thing for me, though.
[00:22:43] It's like, Wendy, you know Giselle's father has passed away,
[00:22:47] regardless of you liking her or not.
[00:22:50] The fact that you're you even want to use this defense,
[00:22:53] even on the reunion now for me is like, shame on you.
[00:22:57] Honestly, shame on you.
[00:22:59] So I just feel like her and Candice picked the wrong battle.
[00:23:02] Right. But here's the thing.
[00:23:04] This is where I would even agree with Candice.
[00:23:06] We have seen this whole one, two and three of the reunion.
[00:23:10] Candice and Giselle going at each other.
[00:23:13] However, when Giselle was talking about her father,
[00:23:17] Candice got her top her cry corner and Candice even said,
[00:23:22] I feel for her.
[00:23:23] And it's like, you know what?
[00:23:24] Like I respect that about Candice.
[00:23:27] I yeah, I didn't really have much for Wendy regarding that situation.
[00:23:33] For me, it was like very much a OK girl.
[00:23:36] I'm sorry, but like that just makes you look small and petty.
[00:23:40] Like the fact that you are
[00:23:43] holding grudges when they're talking about your kids holding grudge,
[00:23:47] you know that and then you want to be petty.
[00:23:49] Like you have to there.
[00:23:51] There's to me, there is no give with Wendy.
[00:23:54] And also this is very interesting to me because Mia threw a drink in your face,
[00:24:01] girl, a drink in your face and like you give her more respect.
[00:24:08] You know, that's that's what I see.
[00:24:10] So I think that's very interesting.
[00:24:11] Yeah.
[00:24:11] Like I could sit on the couch with nobody who would drink at me.
[00:24:16] Sorry. It's over.
[00:24:18] And for me, again, when we got to the NECA and Wendy part, right?
[00:24:22] And they said what they said about the Ebo and the rich and different things.
[00:24:27] And it was very clear that NECA was like, I've apologized for that.
[00:24:31] When I went to meet with you this season, I wanted to apologize.
[00:24:35] And I apologize for what I have done.
[00:24:38] And Wendy's response was like, we can coexist.
[00:24:42] Like girl, like coexist.
[00:24:44] That's the same thing as basically like you're dead to me.
[00:24:47] So it's like, what do you want?
[00:24:50] Wendy, like and then Wendy said, well, I apologize.
[00:24:52] And then that girl was like, well, she apologized to me.
[00:24:56] And when I just don't know where, where Wendy thinks she's going with this.
[00:25:01] So also what I thought was interesting was that
[00:25:05] Andy also said the producers were interested in that.
[00:25:10] They reached out to Wendy and said, hey, we're interested in this person.
[00:25:15] She's saying that she knows you.
[00:25:17] Wendy was like, I don't know where NECA was like, let's be clear.
[00:25:21] I never said that I knew her.
[00:25:23] NECA said that we've been at several events together and I have met her.
[00:25:28] NECA even dropped the receipts that they were interested in NECA for
[00:25:32] Mary de Medicine and NECA's cousin or, you know, her in-laws were friends
[00:25:38] with LeBae, LeBae knew Wendy's sister and LeBae was trying to like connect them.
[00:25:44] And there was resistance from Wendy.
[00:25:47] And so it's like, in my opinion, again, it kind of like clears NECA and also just
[00:25:52] makes Wendy look like you wanted to be the only Nigerian on here.
[00:25:56] Or I don't even think that Wendy wanted to be the only Nigerian.
[00:25:59] I think that Wendy wanted to pick a Nigerian that will be on with her.
[00:26:07] What else? It failed miserably.
[00:26:09] It just made her look small and petty.
[00:26:12] I also now I just can't think of how would NECA have done on Mary de Medicine?
[00:26:16] And I think the answer would be not well.
[00:26:18] I mean, I don't know.
[00:26:20] As Durinda would say, not well, bitch.
[00:26:24] I think I would have fit in really well or Mary de Medicine.
[00:26:29] So that was interesting for me.
[00:26:31] Also, we learn Ashley has a friend that she is seeing.
[00:26:36] She doesn't know how long it's going to last.
[00:26:38] She also reveals to us that her and Michael have an on again, off again
[00:26:43] relationship, but despite the on again, off again every night, she rubbing his feet.
[00:26:48] And yes, yes, that that seemed very on.
[00:26:52] If you rub your feet every night, that seemed pretty on to me.
[00:26:57] But OK, look, the checks got to come from somewhere.
[00:27:00] Well, I mean, in this last part of the reunion,
[00:27:02] she does state that she has sought counsel and that she will be
[00:27:07] moving forward with her divorce.
[00:27:09] She feels as though she has learned enough information, has the strength and that
[00:27:16] we will be seeing her file for divorce allegedly.
[00:27:22] Girl, I ain't mad at it.
[00:27:24] Don't don't learn with whatever you need to learn.
[00:27:27] And I think somebody said, so it's your point.
[00:27:30] Listen, as she says, she is looking for a substantial sum
[00:27:35] from the settlement.
[00:27:36] I also thought it was real shady when Andy was talking about Wendy's endeavors.
[00:27:41] And he mentioned that, you know, her talk show went straight to YouTube.
[00:27:46] I still haven't checked it out.
[00:27:48] I mean, nothing wrong with you two shots.
[00:27:49] We are on YouTube right now.
[00:27:51] So shout out to the YouTube.
[00:27:53] Yes.
[00:27:56] Yeah. And again, with Karen, we really didn't get much of the updates
[00:27:59] of Karen, like just her and Surrey County renovating her grandmother's home.
[00:28:07] Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
[00:28:09] I am excited to see what comes out of that.
[00:28:12] You know, she has a record of launching business
[00:28:16] businesses, you know, LaDom and LaDom.
[00:28:22] And so anyway, Candle, I'm interested to see what Surrey County comes out to be.
[00:28:28] Like, it could be a cute little bed and breakfast.
[00:28:30] I remember they went to bed and breakfast at the mansion, you know,
[00:28:33] couple of seasons back and that was really cute.
[00:28:36] Yeah, I also feel like with Mia talking about
[00:28:39] well, Mia and Gordon talking about their arrangement and Gordon saying
[00:28:43] the things that he was willing, I just wonder if maybe we will see a more
[00:28:47] open side of Ray and Karen.
[00:28:50] Hmm.
[00:28:52] I am wondering how her case is going to wrap up.
[00:28:56] So yeah, I mean, yeah, that's another thing.
[00:29:00] I I I don't know.
[00:29:04] I don't know.
[00:29:05] It's going to be some restitution and some I don't know.
[00:29:07] Well, you know, service right if she's found guilty because she's innocent
[00:29:12] until to found guilty.
[00:29:14] So we'll see.
[00:29:16] Yeah.
[00:29:17] Again, it's very sad that Candice and Robin will not be joining us next season.
[00:29:22] Oh, I feel like Robin will definitely be a friend of.
[00:29:26] I well, we will see because she still has reasonably shady with Giselle.
[00:29:32] So I'm interested to see how that if and if that will still continue on.
[00:29:38] I definitely, although, you know, I don't agree with Candice all the time.
[00:29:41] I'm definitely going to miss Candice.
[00:29:43] I hope that she still pursues her her music career.
[00:29:49] I'm glad that you hope that
[00:29:51] because, you know, like Candice said, it's nothing but a drive back.
[00:29:54] So, you know, maybe next season we will drive back.
[00:29:58] You know what?
[00:29:59] I am happy for her.
[00:30:00] Maybe this will give her some time to pursue her motherhood journey because,
[00:30:04] you know, that is is fantastic and that is an endeavor that will take up a lot of
[00:30:08] time. So, you know, I wish her the best.
[00:30:10] I think I think it's time for her, you know, to have a break.
[00:30:13] I think a break will be good for her.
[00:30:15] Yeah.
[00:30:16] So again, I'm interested to see with all of what the ladies will do.
[00:30:20] But I definitely have to say this definitely three part series of Potomac
[00:30:23] was a dud and especially in the first two episodes, like the parts that they were
[00:30:30] salatial salation, the parts that they were hyping up the most always happened
[00:30:38] to be at the end when the credits were rolling.
[00:30:41] Oh, really?
[00:30:42] I mean, you had to build through a whole
[00:30:43] another episode yet they stretched it out like the fight was three freaking
[00:30:48] episodes long.
[00:30:49] So it was a lot.
[00:30:52] But you know what was not too much for me and that I really want to say I had a
[00:30:59] great time recapping this season with you.
[00:31:02] Well, I think that that was the highlight of the season for me.
[00:31:09] And so we appreciate you guys for listening, watching and supporting us on our
[00:31:13] journey. And if you loved seeing us together, April 24th, Jitya and I will be
