Finally, we’ve made it to the season finale, and not an episode too early – I feel like every Real housewives The franchise filmed in the midst of the pandemic couldn’t escape a front crawl to the finish line, and the Ladies of Potomac are no exception. I have quite a bit of empathy for the production here – COVID-19 compliance has limited their filming capabilities and they are doing their best to create compelling programming from what they’ve been given, and given the fact that Robyn has pledged to be Squidward all season, it was no small feat. That said, whatever psychedelics they were on convinced them that Potomac deserved a four-part meeting should be abandoned immediately; they barely justify it in Beverly Hills and this season was essentially a True Crime docusery. Host a very controversial (to put it lightly) the artist asking the actors questions is not a sufficient reason to cut the episodes out of advertising sales revenue. But I digress.
It’s finally time to renew vows for Karen, who is eagerly awaited as the head of our esteemed Ambassador for County Surry. In my opinion, half the cast must have been blackmailed into this abandoned warehouse in Sterling, Virginia. Everyone else, however, is greatly apprehensive about the idea of ​​sitting at the same table with people with whom they have persistent issues. Candiace and Chris disagree with Ashley and Michael; Robyn and Gizelle disagree with Wendy; Robyn is also at odds with her fiancé / roommate / common partner Juan at the moment. It’s a setup for another hell of a dinner party, except now the food is mediocre wedding reception priced, making everyone all the more upset.
Ahead of the festivities, Ashley and Michael reunite with Robyn and Juan in a cursed attempt to get this six-foot gecko back into the series. Personally, if Michael doesn’t want to be with these women, I’m more than okay with that; the less screen time the sensitive chalk outline has, the better. Nonetheless, we continue to be regaled to see how insulted he is by his treatment from the rest of the group – with the exception, of course, of his good pal Juan – without a hint of introspection of his own. behviour. Again, we have a scene piling up on Chris and Candiace’s financial momentum, that Robyn tries to poop as an elitist but really doesn’t work on a show built on luxury and escape. Plus her best friend was right on The real Candiace call broke.
Inevitably, Ashley puts the beer down and starts earning her salary, deepening the situation between Robyn and Juan. Listen, if it’s a year later and you haven’t had a substantial conversation about the wedding or planning your baby, then you probably don’t really feel like doing it either, and that’s it. that well. But continuing to make this masquerade into an intrigue is a waste of all our eyes and ears. Juan, on the other hand, is genuinely unhappy to remember that he was not a father present for his son’s infant years. While I understand he doesn’t like being beaten over the head for things he wants to get past, part of family planning involves discussing active parenting, which includes a renewed commitment to the life you want your partner to push out of her vagina. While Robyn may have been on a bathroom break all season, I’m not so upset with her as to forget that the man was out of work for the first few seasons of this show.
The Bassett family, meanwhile, are busy helping Candiace pursue her dreams as a pop star in her mid-thirties. Dorothy put on her best wig and wrap dress and went with the couple to sign a distribution deal with Entertainment One. I’m a little confused about Candiace’s choice to work with Omega, he has a reputation in the gospel circuit, so unless she’s trying to collaborate with Mary Mary very soon, I’m not really sure how that is supposed to jumpstart her career.
The wedding renewal itself is quite chic, despite the exterior resembling a large Home Depot opening and the stairs threatening to cause an epic downfall to the Jason DeRulo at the Met Gala. Gizelle, for once, is not the worst dressed woman of the evening; this trophy goes to Ashley Darby, who appears to be dressed for a night at the Park at Fourteenth. Wendy isn’t that far behind, waddling around in a dress one and a half size too small. Candiace’s ongoing commentary on the unfolding of the show – the exterior, the lack of a jumbotron, and the recognition of the dynamics at the table – is a welcome break from the tension; when used correctly, his witticisms can be very pleasant.
The Caucasians at the table, however, will never be able to reconcile. Michael doesn’t respect Chris at all, and Chris can sense it, so won’t bother to apologize for beating him up last season (I don’t think he owes him one either). Luckily, everyone’s favorite boyfriend, Juan, comes to negotiate a tough peace deal before sneaking into a Lyft, leaving his fiancé to play his Squidward clarinet solo for the rest of the reception while Candiace and Chris argue. again for nothing.
Since it’s the final, it’s fair that I assess everyone’s performance for the season.
• Karen Huger: Campy theater, refreshed facelifts, a friendship with Macy Gray, and a position of vanity to boot – Karen continued to delve equally into absurdity and inconsistency while still being entertaining, one strand at a time. His vaccinated delirium is one for the record books, and his rivalry with Gizelle – and the fact that they never stay away very long, even though they always say some of the crudest things imaginable to each other. over others – is what keeps this show afloat. They are the soap opera archetypes of this show, anchoring this franchise for another season. 7/10
• Ashley: Mrs Darby made a commitment to a mom and I changed her and her husband’s names, and I’m not sure if that worked out well for her. She was powerful in moments of driving, but the long attention to her marriage and her life was exhausting, vile, and traumatic. I curse the production team for showing this scene of her and Michael several times at the Watergate Hotel. She may be more valuable as a friend of the show in the future rather than a full-time member; she can pump and empty the mess with her breast milk. 5/10
• Askale: It was a very slow start for our newcomer from East Africa, and despite a few moments of intense action as Candiace’s lackey, we were never properly introduced to Askale and his family, which did not do his race a favor. I’m afraid this will be a stint of a season for her, despite how perfectly memorable her reaction faces were; be able to imitate Macaulay Culkin’s gestures in Alone at home just isn’t enough reason for a second round of the sun here. 4/10
• Wendy: The reintroduction of Zen Wen was a roller coaster ride. The fashions were chaotic and the readings spotty, but she really stood out when she dealt with the Green-eyed Bandits at the Reasonably Shady event. She still struggles to define a meaningful narrative, but I hope she takes the time between seasons to recalibrate. She really needs to lower the price of her candles, though – $ 45 is a highway robbery. 6/10
• Robyn: I think Mrs. Dixon should go straight from the meeting chair to a therapist’s chair and stay there. But I don’t think she necessarily has to be back on this show. I’m sorry, but she doesn’t seem to be happy, and being Giselle’s lackey isn’t a compelling enough reason to earn a salary. I’d worry about taking her source of income for the house of her dreams, but she said her silk caps are booming – and as the LulaRoe documentary taught me, people will literally buy and wear anything. what. I just can’t stand another year of moping about her soccer mom; Even go-go musical transitions can’t help raise the mood. 3/10
• Gizelle: Although Gizelle has no history beyond failing to teach her daughter to drive, she managed to stay as messy as ever. She even managed to sneak in one last shot about Karen allegedly slipping into the DMs before the credits fell, getting involved in Wendy and Candiace’s marriage, despite her family being in danger. However, his willingness to move the plot forward is only surpassed by his utter lack of taste or tact; Gizelle Bryant is really the result of what happens when women with fair skin are never told that they don’t make sense. Now we have useless podcasts, and some of the most involuntarily hystericalI TikTok already. 5/10
• Candiace: Arguably the most controversial actor of the season, Candiace attempted a smooth rebranding, but was brought down by her own temper. Depending on who you ask, it was triggered by a deep injustice or consumed by its own immaturity. Either way, her antics just aren’t pretty, and she’s losing more and more allies on the show. Part of this is undoubtedly strategic, but I hope she can also look back and realize that part of this was also initiated by the bad boundaries she set with her mother and what ‘she works on a therapist’s couch and not on Twitter. Otherwise, I don’t see it last any longer; she can’t be both Tony and Carmela Soprano. Either accept to be the bad guy or you solve your aggression issues and move on. 4/10
• Mia: The new full-time actress was very controversial in her first year, with her questionable phone games and her willingness to start playing with everyone. I found it refreshing; she was able to step into a low-stakes chaos reminiscent of the glory days of the old Housewives years. Her husband, however, is a boor on the level of Juicy Joe Giudice. She will need to immediately master her on-screen presence if she is to continue staying on this show, especially if she plans to continue standing with Candiace. Otherwise, I kiss her, clitoroplasty, big feet, and all. 6/10.
That’s it, guys. Enjoy the reunion!
