Thank you, Mia (RHOP Recap)

Two Teas and a Pod with Teddy Mellencamp and Camrad Judge.

Hi, guys, welcome to another episode of Two Teas and a Pod with myself, Teddy Mellencamp and Tamra Judge. We have Real Housewives Potomac Reunion Part three recap coming in.

What did you feel about the overall reunion about being in three parts? I actually was gone out of town for part two, so I have not seen it. Do you think it was necessary to have three parts?

Well, at the beginning, I was captivated.

I yeah, the beginning really brought me in because Gordon with his bloodshot, crying eyes and telling us about his bipolar diagnosis, it was sad.

It was really Yeah.

I mean I think Gordon and Mia are putting the real and real housewives in this reunion. It was brave and commendable for Gordon to open up. And I also thought you could really see the respect Andy has for MEA.

Yeah, Well, it's not often that you see a couple get divorced, especially in housewife universe, and just be so good with each other.

Yeah, especially when one has already moved on.

Yeah, but I think they probably, you know, by what we've seen, she probably has been moved on for quite some time. Yeah, and really just has empathy for him. But you had to also remember that Candace said Bravo told her to pull it back and not be so vitriolic this reunion. And then at the end of this reunion you see her look off stage and she says, oh, you want me to be friends with this about Giselle.

I think that was very ten.

Yeah, I mean, hey, I'm not gonna say I've never gotten the Hey, you need to pull it back.

Yeah, true, true, But yeah, the beginning I thought was super interesting and also good for people to see and hear, because not only if you're struggling with bipolar yourself or if your significant other is, you have been made aware. But the part that was so shocking to me was he was diagnosed two and a half years.

Ago and I never talked about it, and he just.

Said it's gotten worse over the years.

And then I also didn't realize he's still a part owner of the business.

He just can't run it any Yeah.

I me too.

Do you think that that's why his family to control the business because he's not fit mentally?

I think some decisions.

I think that's what he was implying, because he the way he spoke about the business was very different than he's spoken about it before before. It seemed like he was wronged and he was upset and he was going to come for his family. And remember, we couldn't really understand why Mia was like telling him, no, do not come for the family, like, which didn't really make sense.

Now it does, it does?

It does?

Now?

He did say that he's in a better place with his family, which was good.

Yeah, that's good.

And Mia said she would continue to be taking care of him and do everything that she could, like that they were always going to be you know, is.

This something that he said he's always had but he was never diagnosed.

Yeah, I mean I think I think there's still more to this story we probably need to hear. I mean, he said yes, but also he didn't really answer the medication question, and he and you saw when he didn't answer that mea kind of looked down. And you know, I can't speculate on anybody's mental health, but is somebody who struggles with like severe anxiety and OCD and medication of it all, I think that is a piece of the puzzle. And also same with therapy and it takes work.

Yeah.

I wonder if he will be on next season.

I think so. I feel like the fact that he's moving in across the street.

He's going to be the new Frank. Yeah, the new Frank, the new Frank and Dolores.

But then his pod but then as mister Yeah, and then is mister Ink going to be on as well?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say yeah, I think he's gonna film.

Then Andy brings up the shrine. He explains that production was not aware of the alleged shrine prior to filming. Casting wanted Neka to come on the show through Wendy because they thought they had mutual friends. Andy asks Wendy what she needs from not going to move on. Wendy agrees to coexist, which is not really agreeing.

That's not yeah, that's not agree and that's just saying we'll be cordial.

Guys, I know, changing your lifestyle isn't easy, and doing it alone surely doesn't make it any easier. That's where all in by Teddy comes in with one simple yet powerful word, accountability. With your designated accountability coach accessible to you morning through night, you'll never be lacking in the support you need to see your health and wellness goals all the way through. So say bye bye two excuses and hello to accountability. And when you use code twats

I mean, I really thought that Meca had a good first season based on what she had to work with. Yeah, I don't think she needs to go. I don't want to see her go. And obviously Bravo has wanted Neka for a while because she mentioned Married to Medicine wanting her. I think and I hope that she does pivot to that show because I think maybe that might be a better fit for her.

Well.

Also, I think Andy made a really good point when he said sometimes like Andy almost kind of broke the fourth wall. He's like, sometimes in casting, yeah, as long as you know or you've met someone, or you're a friend of a friend, yeah, that's the But like, well that's how Jen got brought on. I hadn't talked her in a while, but she was She was a friend of mine back then that filmed.

And had tried it out before. So they're like, oh, she's Tamma's friend. Yeah, so talk to her in a while.

But Wendy kind of just had that like dismissive look of Mekka, like that she didn't even remember her. At this event where they met, there was only ten people. Then we get to Ashley and the divorce conversation. Andy brings up the speculation that Ashley's divorce is not real and made up for the show, and she will stay married to Michael.

She's not being completely honest.

I don't feel about her relationship with Michael.

Do you think they should have kept Robin, said Ashley.

I mean, I I don't actually have a problem with either of them.

Do I think that this was Ashley's best season? No?

No, I think Ashley at least admitting at the reunion that she and Michael are back to a toxic place, that she has filed a complaint to really initiate the divorce is really telling. Maybe that's why she was kind of taking a back seat this season. She was trying to keep things okay with Michael. Andy asked if there's anything she puts on the shared credit card, and she says no to t yeah. Wendy asked if she put

I don't want to massage anybody's feet.

Do you do you think that she filed a complaint and is dating someone and was trying to secure another season, or do you think she really is going to divorce him.

I don't know, because you know it's all talk, no action, and she talks about him different all the time.

Yes, we're good. Oh, I see him every day. No, he's moved on.

I don't see her really moving on. I would like to see her dating and doing other things and other than tiktoks, other than tiktoks and divorce him. But also, do you think it's a money thing, like she's he's keeping her and she doesn't want to lose that money.

I think yeah, I think she's like, as long as it's not in a toxic place, she's happy to stay married because it makes life easier all around. But the question I have is, like Ashley made of butter, Like she is able to slide out of any real accountability or culpability of any mess she is in.

How does she because she's.

So damn cute and she just smiles and laughs, and she's really smart. She really is. She's intelligent, and she knows when not to speak.

Yep.

When she made the mess of the everything that happened between Wendy Cane Neka, oh yes, yeah, between Wendy and Necka are even that she she just pulls back and she's like, no, I can't. I didn't realize the magnitude. I made a mistake, like she she at that point, she knows when to pull back.

But even when she's giving shaite, she does it with a smile.

Do we think that Keiana is going to be back this season? Because I was a little bit shocked she was at the reunion.

Uh, yeah, I think probably.

I like her, Yeah, I do like her.

I think that she might play a bigger role next season. Possibly they wouldn't have had her at the reunion if they were done.

With her, That's what I thought. Well, but maybe they had to because maybe not.

I don't know.

Yeah.

Well, Andy asks Kiana what things at the GNAA event led to her injury, and Kierana says she was in her personal space and hit with glass. She said she was assaulted and that's why she ultimately fought back. Giselle says that after looking at that footage, she thinks everyone is responsible unless Deborah, Candace, Wendy and Kianna. Do you agree that the words play a factor in this altercation or do you think there should be no excuses made for physical altercation.

I think that you have to get to a point in your life and you put big girl panties on, and when there is an altercation, walk away. Yeah, walk away, because nobody on that cast is worth going to jail for. Yeah, well, idle battle or to hurt somebody. I mean there's times where you know, I've gotten very like my blood was boiling and I'm like, just walk away, just walk away. Yeah, I don't ever want to get to that point filming housewife show.

Yeah.

I mean, well, at this point, I would have given Kiana flute myself for the way she handled Ashley had three Indian I was like, this is do.

You think do you think she should return for another season?

Yeah?

I mean I'm not. I don't know that she needs to be a housewife.

I would probably be okay with her being a friend to see how she comes in, just because we saw such a difference between how she was on that trip versus how she was like after the altercation. So I don't know, but I think that she has an interesting story. But then Andy gives the floor to anyone who wants to apologize or own anything. Before they wrap up, Robin and Candace say they have no hate or resentment towards each other.

And that it will take time to mend their friendship.

Andy brings up that there will be no movement between Mecca and Wendy, and then Andy says he's not even going to try with Giselle and Candace, and they start arguing again.

And then Mecca and candas are the ones are no longer there, so he's like, why you know there's no movement, one of them's got to go.

And if there's no and.

Robin's gone to essentially he's pulling out everybody that there's no movement on.

So that's my question.

Is Meca pulled because there's no movement with maybe, but has tried to fix things with Wendy and.

I feel that the same way. I don't know.

Maybe because Wendy has more seniority that they are keeping her.

I don't know. But other than Jersey, have you ever seen a group this divided?

I don't think so. I don't think so.

And I don't think that we saw any resolution at the reunion.

I don't think we saw any resolution. I think me, thank goodness for me at this reunion, or else I probably would have very much struggled. I appreciate her so much for all the things she shared, her ability to forgive and move on, but also her ability to be a mess herself, like, all of it, all of it. Thank you, Mia for making Potomac possible, possible.

Yes, watchable, And then you know the episode ends with Andy Bean crowned King of Potomac or something like that, and I've never seen him so happy in his life with that crown on.

I gotta believe he's probably still wearing it.

King Andy, show us your crown.

Yep.

But yeah, I have hope. I do think that Potomac can turn it around. I do love those ladies.

And you can take the same cast and put them on next season. Who knows, could be the great best season ever.

It's just you never know. Just certain seasons just don't hit right.

Yep.

But thank you guys for tuning in. Make sure that you guys also tune in for our TWATS flashback episodes because we are starting Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season.

Two, episode one and two.

In our first flashback, and who I mean one and two weren't super juicy, but episode three looks like it's gonna be coming. That's gonna be the Suitcas episode.

It gets there, It gets there, Oh my god.

Alright, Well, love you, Tam, I'll talk to you later.

Bye.
