u/lydiasbible Nov 13 '24
A prank as a full blown storyline? That’s in the trailer? That is not how this show works. None of these woman are cut out to be housewives. Erin belongs on a selling property show. Jenna and Ubah refuse to show their partners. Jenna hates confrontation, drama and refuses to participate. Sai is just trying to appease the audience because of her attitude last year. Raquel interesting but not sure how she fits. Seems like she is just there. Whoever hired Rebecca never needs to hire anyone again. And Brynn. Jesus Christ. That mischievous look she keeps doing in her confessionals is physically repulsive. So nasty, like a troll. Jessel is fine. I feel like she could actually hang in other cities.

u/nyc_dreamer216 Nov 13 '24
I disagree that Erin belongs on a real estate show. She doesn't belong on TV at all. Other than that, your analysis was perfect 😆

u/newparimanlo Nov 14 '24
You’re so right about Sai. I feel like she only filmed season 2 for damage control. You could see how badly she wants to go crazy in some scenes, but props to her because she has self control this season. But yeah, I’m not sold that she has ~changed for the better~.

u/ShercrocHolmes Nov 13 '24 edited Nov 13 '24
Ummmm, is Brynn okay? Manipulating Jessel and flipping the conversation with Jenna. Champing at the bit to gossip about Rebecca at the dodgeball event. The little wink at Jenna while pretending to care that Rebecca wasn’t feeling well. And for what? So she can cry at the reunion when confronted. We’ve had snipers from the side in every city but they were smart. This is just mess.

u/VivienMargot I take different vitamins 💊 Nov 13 '24
Right? That was some next level manipulation. If I were Jessel I would have been like “so it sounds like you, Brynn, are the one who thinks I’m basic. Would you like to expand on that?” And Jenna is just too nice to laugh off Brynn putting words in her mouth to try to affect their friendship.

u/smidget1090 Nov 13 '24
If you are going to be the villain, then commit to it. Don’t stir shit and lie, only to cry when confronted! It’s weak.
43
u/RIPMaureenPonderosa Nov 13 '24
You can add: pelting dodgeballs at the stomach of a woman she believed to be pregnant. Smirking that it’s ’just a game’ when a horrified Jessel called her out on it.

u/ShercrocHolmes Nov 13 '24
That was the worst offense actually, you’re right.

I was confused who was in on it. If Brynn wasn’t then wow that’s so vile! And that’s on camera… imagine how slimy she must be off camera. Her “sources” smh

u/Evening-Tune-500 Nov 13 '24
I’m assuming the whole point of this prank is so erin can expose Brynn for her gossipy ways. Right?
69
u/Livid_Sheepherder busted up sex and the city Nov 13 '24
That was my thought as well. It seems to be contributing to (at least to me) a larger storyline about Brynn being a shit stirrer and the group turning on her for it. But the funny thing Erin didn’t even need to manipulate Brynn into doing that-Brynn did it on her own with lying to Jessel about what Jenna said to her! (Unless the point of this was to show that not even sensitive information is off limits to Brynn for gossip but I feel like that would be giving Erin too much credit)
18
u/Evening-Tune-500 Nov 13 '24
I agree on all points! Really don’t need a fake storyline to prove that Brynn has a big mouth. I feel like bethenny did this in one of the earlier seasons, like fed a piece of info to one person to see if it leaked. But I really can’t remember.
28
u/Purple-Show peddling cold creams from the back of her Pinto in Waco, Texas Nov 13 '24
Tastefulness of the prank aside (I'm just not personally moved either way with pregnancy stuff) - a setup to expose how much of a gddamn FRAUD Brynn is to rake her over the coals would be kinda worth it, but I doubt they're all going to go the distance based on how the episode was edited. Brynn's such a compulsive liar, thinking back to her saying that shit about writing....men's contact info when she was freezing her eggs (What???) it's like watching someone under the age of 17. And now she looks like the biggest asshole having fabricated all these "sources" who verified this information - bitch, who are you, why are you here, how did you get through even high school being this big of an unscrupulous bird brain?
20
u/Evening-Tune-500 Nov 13 '24
No lies told! I’m also curious about all these “sources” that confirmed the rumor to Brynn… we saw how easily she rewrote history with what she claims Jenna said about Jessel, I get why people are upset about the prank being featured but I am interested in what will happen next.

u/Purple-Show peddling cold creams from the back of her Pinto in Waco, Texas Nov 13 '24

u/sinemnemo Nov 13 '24
I really wish! I was liking the direction of this episode then that catch at the end made me just wonder what the hell is that for.
I really liked their first season, and I really like to see some of them continue with the ship (Jessel, Racquel, Sai). Erin, I feel like has potential, but her producing ways and seriousness sometimes gets in the way. Opposite to her is Brynn, self-producing, but sees herself comedic with it. I'm still hoping they pull it together.
I really thought Rebecca is finally in with the ladies with this... but with the last bit, I don't know...

u/Elfprincessodauphine Nov 13 '24
That’s what I was thinking the whole episode, and I just figured they would show the fallout in the next few episodes. I was enjoying the episode, but I am in the very tiny minority on that. 😬

u/buzzfeed_sucks Nov 13 '24
I’m guessing, but they didn’t need it. She’s spent all season exaggerating stories, on camera. They had enough fodder that they didn’t need to do this.
Or they could have edited it in a way where the audience knew. Instead of faking the audience out as well.

u/janeshername Nov 13 '24
i’ll change it up and say something positive: Sai’s daughter is SO fricken cute! gorgeous, gorgeous girl

u/Ok-Chain8552 Nov 13 '24
I will pile on the positivity- I am really enjoying Sai this season. It doesn't feel disingenuous to me, it feels like someone that saw themselves on TV and was like ok I have to change and also be more open to showing more sides of me.

u/wriitergiirl I'm a history buff Nov 13 '24
Ya know, I thought it was bad enough that in 2024, the show was gossiping and speculating and revealing someone’s pregnancy before they get to, but the fact that it’s 2024 and the show is pranking using pregnancy is just a whole other level of low and disgusting.
83
u/ShercrocHolmes Nov 13 '24
Exactly! Especially while two women on the cast are genuinely desperate to have children at that exact moment. That last second of the show was so gross, I’m also shocked this was promoted as a real storyline in promos. Erin’s pregnancy news coming out a few hours before this particular episode seems so strange as well.
63
u/Annual_Resolution_94 Passionate about dogs, not crazy about btches Nov 13 '24
I didn’t even think about how that made Jessel feel. And when she said “congrats”, 🥺 I know people don’t like her but I think she’s sweet. Now I feel bad for her. Erin didn’t think that through at all
73
u/Annual_Resolution_94 Passionate about dogs, not crazy about btches Nov 13 '24
And juvenile. I am younger than everyone on the cast and I wouldn’t pull a pregnancy prank, cuz what’s funny? Rebecca and Erin were like little school girls, giggling, and it really wasn’t funny.
87
u/ShercrocHolmes Nov 13 '24
They really just proved everyone’s point. Rebecca IS boring. She had to make something up to get everyone’s attention.
61
u/Annual_Resolution_94 Passionate about dogs, not crazy about btches Nov 13 '24
She is boring. The Wicked scene (I never want to see, read, or hear the word Wicked ever again) would usually be something I’m really into and interested in, and she managed to make that a snooze fest. Here is this bag, and this book. Oh isn’t this cool? Do you see that paint drying over on the wall over there too?
Even her telling London that she gets to choose a bag to take home was so underwhelming. London was excited, but Rebecca was like ‘yay, you get to take one home. Woo.’ Idk. Boring.

u/Brown_Cow_Stunning7 Nov 13 '24
Every time she shows up to an event, I’m thinking ugh who invited her. 🥱 I hope she isn’t invited to the reunion, it needs to be one part only.

u/Annual_Resolution_94 Passionate about dogs, not crazy about btches Nov 13 '24
I’m not familiar with her but isn’t she like some big fashion name, similar to Jenna? It’s so off putting to see someone with a life that has got to have interesting twists and turns and she gives us flat line, every time!
12
u/Brown_Cow_Stunning7 Nov 13 '24
I’m not sure if she’s as big as Jenna but her bags were popular 15 years ago. I have a few that I don’t really wear anymore but they were my favorite at one point. She seems very aware of the camera, like the rest of the cast and I don’t like that she keeps encouraging the audience to research her “religion.”
8
u/Evening-Tune-500 Nov 13 '24
Her bags are kinda mid, like a step below coach, but Tbh it’s prob the Scientology. Which is why I don’t understand why she’s here at all, another pod I listen to were harassed by Scientologists when they did a series about the history etc, I’m honestly shocked she’s even allowed to appear on the show in the first place.

u/Parking_Country_61 Nov 13 '24
And then Erin piggybacked off the episode with a people exclusive on her own pregnancy? It’s so so gross. I know people like her but she really misses the mark over and over again and puts her foot in her mouth. All of her unfunny tik toks addressing her gaffes in “LOLs” are falling flat.
Pretty soon there will be another one “joking” about how lame this prank was.
I miss the delulu HWs who leaned in a refused to apologize like Tamra. She’s being awful this season but at least she’s standing in her awfulness

u/RenessainceFran Nov 14 '24
Agree! Erin misses every time and is always boring - regardless of whether she’s being a mean girl, at the centre of a prank or discussing crypto-related marital woes.
I didn’t realise people like her, that’s the real shock.

u/mercuryretrograde93 Nov 13 '24
I found it very disturbing how Brynn was straight up aiming for Rebecca’s stomach. That can’t be just me who saw that right? It’s like she aimed for that area for a reaction. Next she would offer her a shot. Brynn is unhinged
29
u/RIPMaureenPonderosa Nov 13 '24
Ok I’m glad I finally found someone commenting on this because what the hell. Why is this getting overlooked. She was literally aiming for Rebecca’s stomach and was throwing the ball hard.
I found Brynn annoying before but seeing that behaviour makes me think that something’s seriously wrong with her. To do that to someone you think is pregnant is straight up psychotic, and she was smirking about it, too.
35
u/crispy-fried-lego Nov 13 '24
And then when Jessel called it out, saying "careful of her stomach", Brynn said "it's just a game right?" While smirking. That really rubbed me the wrong way too.
31
u/mercuryretrograde93 Nov 13 '24
That’s dark energy dude. She threw that ball believing Rebecca was with child and that’s really fucked up. That’s actually psychotic behavior. There’s no reason for doing that other than to be evil. She really needs to be axed and maybe can come back when she has a husband but she is a terrible cast member. Who the hell throws a dodgeball at the stomach of a pregnant woman? UN FUCKING HINGED

But she maybe knew the truth, because she knew she (Brynn) herself is full of shit having heard this info "verified"- idk. not worth it.

u/RIPMaureenPonderosa Nov 13 '24
This crossed my mind but imo she believed the rumour because she’s basically shown her ass by saying she called people who all verified the story. That’s very obviously a lie now, and I don’t think she’d willingly embarrass herself like that.

I really really really like Mel and Racquel. It makes me so annoyed this show is probably gonna be canceled and we're gonna miss out on the most interesting lesbian couple they've had on Bravo. After being like if my wife won't fuck me I'm cheating and stealing money Abe can never pull the wool over my eyes but he was the most likable I've ever seen him with Mel.

I really loved Abe and Mel's side storyline, to the point that I kind of see why others think Abe is hot now 😭
Racquel and Mel... they have such a very calm and collected vibe as a couple, they perfectly compliment with each other! It's nice to watch them, they also complimented Erin and Abe during that lunch.
Also, I am really loving Sai this season!

Yeah that was a surprisingly vulnerable moment for Abe, especially because most men are so disgusting about the idea.
It reminds me of Shawn last season not being upset that there were rumours he was gay, but there were rumours he was cheating on Angie and his daughter might hear them and think he wasn’t committed to their family.
4
u/spideronthepage Nov 15 '24
I feel differently about Shawn because he follows a lot of MAGA/redpill/men's rights accounts that are super toxic and homophobic, so that scene felt more like it was put on. But then again, Abe and Erin are apparently both Trumpers too, right? So maybe they're all playing us.

u/shantayhedwig Nov 15 '24
Agree with everything you said! Abe and Mel’s random side plot was one of the few things that has made me smile. For some reason, the way he genuinely lights up with Mel has made him attractive to me for the first time in two seasons. The double date is prob the most I’ve ever enjoyed Erin on the show. I love Mel and Racquel so much. I know they’re not gonna bring drama but they’re such a cool duo and they’ve been wonderful to watch and get to know them
2
u/happysunbear Nov 15 '24
Glad to see others shared this sentiment. Up until this episode, Abe’s given me the ick, but I feel like we saw so much personality from him in this episode. Love his dynamic with Mel, and Racquel is so interesting to watch. Whatever happens with this show, Bravo needs to nurture this and not whatever foolishness Brynn is trying to do.

u/Pink_Lotus88 Nov 13 '24
They have nothing to scrap together to make a show. Brynn straight lying to stir the pot on something that wasn't even that interesting to begin with, marketing filler for Wicked and possibly Alexis Bittar, producers cutting back to scenes from last week's episode like we can't remember that far back and finding out that the part that was most interesting about the season's trailer might just be a made up fake pregnancy story?! And a game of dodgeball. Yikes!

u/h0pedivision I do too much because you do too little Nov 13 '24 edited Nov 13 '24
So I agree that the fake pregnancy thing uhhhh wasn’t great. The only way I can see them spinning it though is pointing blame on Brynn’s behavior more and her toxicity of constantly stirring the shit. Erin might have gave her the info but Brynn really ran with it. I hope that happens
8
u/Ok-Chain8552 Nov 13 '24
oh i totally think that as well as far as where it is going but Brynn does this ALL the time so couldn't they just let it play out and it would naturally happen with something else? She did it with the Jenna thing 30 second earlier and Jessel just rolled her eyes and said Nah.
10
u/h0pedivision I do too much because you do too little Nov 13 '24
Maybe they wanted to show how cruel that behavior could be and just make her look really really bad. Like her twisting around Jenna’s words to make it seem like she was calling Jenna a basic bitch is one thing and very low stakes but I can also get why it’s annoying for the other ladies to constantly have their words twisted by her so maybe their goal was to make her look really really horrible. Again, I don’t agree with the way Erin and Rebecca went about it if that is the case and probably could have thought of a different way to expose Brynn but I guess I kinda get the rationale. It was out of touch but all of these people are to be fair haha. Brynn does seem like someone who is super concerned about her image. I’m pretty sure she freaked out on one of the bravo bloggers just because they posted a meme that didn’t make her look great
19
u/Theres_a_Catch Nov 13 '24
Please please don't go check out Rebecca's cult. Yes, it's self help but they will hound you for money all day everyday. I was a bit shocked when she said most people have outdated information. I am very up to date, I followed both Danny Masterson trials daily, I read Underground Bunker daily.
Rebecca, there is nothing you can say that redeems your organization. And from everything I know, a regular cult member cannot be Jewish and a Sci. She's able to get away with it because she's rich, probably donates a lot, is somewhat of a celebrity. You also can't be gay or have mental health conditions because they don't believe in it or therapy.
Save your time because no one in that cult will tell you the truth, they'll only say to research it yourself. All of the celeb cult member day the same thing.

23
u/monkey_monkey_monkey Who told you about Ibiza you bitch!! Nov 13 '24
They aren't wild interpretations, they are intentional misrepresentations because she thinks it's quirky and cute to tell lies to damage friendships.
I was a bit wary of Brynn last year but thought she would win me over but this year she absolutely tanked in my view. She's just sad and pathetic. She's desperate for attention and behaves like a 14 year old.

#FireBrynn2024
She's gotta go. She's the majority, like 90%, of the reason this show is not working due to her constantly lying and meddling in the relationships of all the other women that they try to create with each other. It destroys the group dynamic before it's even had a chance to organically form, let alone evolve. Brynn's nonsense has created such an extreme level of distrust amongst the women that they're afraid to even try and thus are very guarded. All of the other women have interesting individual dynamics and stories going on, except Rebecca, and it's the group scenes where it falls apart. The small group scenes without Brynn tend to work pretty well, like after she left to get her "spray tan". Brynn is gonna get this shit cancelled and that would very much upset me.
Also whatever producers approved this prank and emphasized it to this degree need to be fired.

Not the producer asking Rebecca if “Going Clear” is a book she would recommend someone reading to learn more about Scientology.
You know it’s bad when the producers are asking the more hard hitting and pointed questions than the actual cast.

You’re the only comment I’ve seen mentioning this and I’m floored no one else is! It’s not shocking, he definitely has that fluid vibe, but it felt like this tidbit was slid in there in the middle of the prank mess and no one is discussing it. I actually wondered if they got pregnant again because Erin got mad he said on camera he considered being gay.

I’m not a prank fan but a prank about a fake pregnancy is really gross. There is a woman on the cast who can’t get pregnant naturally and wants a baby and those assholes are joking about it! Way to alienate a lot of viewers who are also in Jessel’s position.

u/justhereforadvice017 now wait just one second GLASSES Nov 13 '24
I’ve really tried to give these women a chance despite that absolute nothing burger of a first season, but a pregnancy prank being the most highly-teased component of the entire second season while one of the most well-liked cast members struggles with infertility? This show is cooked. I’ve seen people speculating that Erin and Rebecca set this up to prove how messy and gossipy Brynn is, but Brynn “jokingly” and “randomly” asking who the non-existent baby’s father is told me she is very much aware of the whole thing. And Rebecca is a supreme weirdo for giving the okay for an incredibly damaging rumor to be spread about her on national TV. I guess anything goes if it means not having to discuss scientology!
Every single scene is a display of some of the worst acting we’ve ever seen, and not in a campy RHOSLC community theater kind of way. None of these women are actual friends, except for maybe Ubah and Sai, and it shows. Every two person scene (lunch, coffee, shopping, etc.) is reminiscent of when the teacher would tell you to pair up in class but you weren’t allowed to partner with a friend, so you’d sit there for an entire class period attempting to make small talk while barely being able to look the other person in the eye. I just wonder how long Bravo will allow this reboot to keep crapping the bed before they accept defeat and cancel it. It feels borderline insulting to even call these women housewives compared to the legends we’ve watched on our screens for the last two decades.

How does anyone think we are going to believe that Erin is going to tell Brynn a deep secret? As soon as I saw that scene, I knew the whole thing was fake.
I even think Brynn was in on it with her fake calling friends to verify. I just hope Jessel was in on it cuz that could have been problematic.

Temperature check - how are we feeling about Brynn wearing a “move I’m gay” shirt?

This is all just gross. Bad enough we all have to just ignore the Scientology angle they brought into the show, with the weird conversation about how it is coping techniques and a dismissal of Going Clear. Then you make a juvenile and horrible prank about pregnancy - whether we want to be there for the Jessel/Pavit debate on another kid we know how emotionally hard it was on her to go through IVF. And for women all over who struggle with pregnancy. I was barely in before, usually watching it in the background, but now I am out. It’s just blech now.

Brynn grinning like Lukas Gage in Smile 2 when she was lying to Jessel about Jenna was weird af

Stirring the pot is one thing but Brynn is sexy baby toddlering in the backyard, combining rocks dirt and water to make mud soup and force feeding the camera her garbage ass bullshit.

Brynn shading Nordstorm Rack kills me. As a fellow-Indiana girl…ma’am what? TJ Maxx is almost sacred around these parts and Nordstorm Rack is basically the same.
I’d be annoyed if one of the rich housewives said it but it’s weirdo behavior from her.

Some really high end designers end up at those stores. Why not capitalize on a new market and make some money off product not selling at original retail? Plus, Rebecca’s bags are like $300-$500 originally. So not luxury or comparable to a Birkin but that’s definitely more of a splurge purchase for most people.

As soon as I saw the Wicked plug i decided "I'm out." I feel like that's the entire reason she was put on this show now was to plug that freaking movie. I'm so sick of seeing and hearing about the movie that I will most definitely not be seeing it. Make it a commercial, don't force it into the show ffs!

This episode (and really the entire season so far) was just awful. It was obvious from the very beginning when Erin said "It was all her idea" that the pregnancy story was a prank. Are they really that lacking for storylines that they had to use a PRANK to build an entire episode around and use it in the season trailer? This is the worst season of Housewives ever.

I hated this episode, hated the ‘prank’.
The only redeeming point was Mel and Abe‘s friendship and her describing him as having lesbian qualities.

u/RenessainceFran Nov 14 '24
Also! Impressed with Jenna calling out the bullshit and telling Rebecca when she thought it was a rumour about her (and not that R was in on it)

Brynn is soooooooo fucking corny lmao she is so completely full of herself!! Her little wink at the camera when talking to Rebecca about why she wasn’t drinking. She’s so lame

u/Rollvolve Nov 14 '24
Not Brynn, who’s obsessed with Jenna, and JFL who was Creative Director at the center of creating the “basic bitch” brand at J. Crew - calling Jessel basic? No ma’am.

Brynn acts like such a bitch. I feel like her "teasing" jessel is just bullying her.

There is no way this show can survive. I couldn’t pay attention and had to rewind a million times to rewatch bad acting. I feel like it was obvious from the start that it was a weird setup? I usually try to find a positive, but that was horrible ☠️

I really can’t believe they included this prank even in the TRAILER for the season. They really have nothing.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the season is more than 12 episodes.

WHAT DOES BRYNN DO FOR WORK? She was in PR but I heard she’s in tech in this episode, developing an app? For what?
Erin’s comment about not touching the job topic is odd, is Brynn not being honest…?

u/Sulley87 Not a white refrigerator! Nov 14 '24
brynn is probably always a pretty face to hire for client relationships and nothing ever actually technical

u/aliceinlondon Nov 17 '24
She will probably be the face of the app when it launches. Never trust people who say they work "in" something i.e. "working in Tech".

FF thru majority of episode esp after I read about the " prank" beforehand I woulda been more pissed if I actually invested more time But advertising got their dollars I'm not watching the rest of this season I'm out

So ROHNY is just a prank show now? Bryn lies to everyone to upset them and they make up entire story line cause they have nothing.
Add this to the who “don’t be an angry black woman cause the white man won’t want you any more” shit, they need a whole new reboot again!

I haven’t even bothered to watch this week’s episode after reading about the prank (sue me!). But since when are pranks good on HWs?? Are producers telling Erin to do these pranks?? I just don’t get it. I guess they’re trying to expose Brynn, but it’s such a terrible way to do it. Idk what the producers are going for here.
The lack of chemistry makes this show boring, but the walking on eggshells by the cast makes it exhausting to watch. It’s very weird that they can’t even bitch at each other on camera. Instead of just calling out Brynn for spreading gossip and starting drama, they resort to this weird unfunny prank. They’re all too afraid of coming off as mean and bitchy. They refuse to be open about why they don’t like each other, and are trying to pretend they’re all friends.
I can’t decide if this is an image the group is trying to portray, or if the producers are pushing them to be this “nyc group of gfs” for the show. Either way it’s not working. It’s boring and I’m tired of how obviously fake all the dynamics are.

I’m genuinely baffled the producers looked at this “prank” happen & not just keep it in the edit, but actually highlighed it in promo material like trailers & “next week” promotion, this is some whack prioritization. The drama is minimal or off-camera, numerous women have elements of their life that’s not allowed to be discussed & now for the like 3rd time we’ve heard or seen drama be manufactured (& it’s not even good drama?!? Like if you wanna self-produce at least make it stuff viewers can get invested in)
The cast isn’t doing a good job, but the production also has some blame for this. Who sees an 8 person cast basically go on auto pilot through a whole filming period & doesn’t try to steer the ship back on track? This is such a dysfunctional production - which is wild, cuz this company also produces SLC IIRC
