EPISODE 18: RHOP-WE'RE NOT HOSTING A PARTY IN YOUR F'ING DRIVEWAY! (PART TWO)
Welcome to Part Two of our recap of The Real Housewives of Potomac - Season 6, Episode 12 – “Reasonable or Shady?”
With special guests Amanda Blake Davis!!!
Welp. We had some time off. The holidays and life got busy and even Robyn is behind on all her beloved Bravo shows.
YET, this episode is worth the wait!
Some of ABD and Carla’s hilarious takes:
● More ABD takes on Gizelle’s “trashy” driveway party she hosted during Covid. The real hero of this story? The poor BARTENDER who had to serve these ladies in this ridiculousness!
● Carla weighs in to defend Gizelle - “SHE. IS. CLASS.”
● And ABD teaches a masterclass on how to be a professional creator - with specific thoughts on Candiace’s “Drive Back” video. Let’s just say… we all learned a lot and are better for it.
We are so grateful to our hilarious friend Amanda Blake Davis. Follow her @missamandablake (https://www.instagram.com/missamandablake/).

Carla recommends the The Noble Podcast:
In the winter of 2002, police discovered more than 300 bodies on one property in the tiny town of Noble, Georgia. What followed was one of the biggest and most expensive investigations in the history of the American South. To get to the bottom of this forgotten case, journalist Shaun Raviv visits a rural community with plenty of secrets.
He discovers the epic history of the well-respected family who owned the property, uncovers the fates of the bodies sent to a crematory called Tri-State, and searches for the mysterious man at the center of it all. And in the process, Shaun explores one of the most primal and vexing questions we face as human beings: What do the living owe the dead?
