Ep. 92- "The Hoedown and The Cactus Stroker" - RHOC Episode 14 & RHOSLC Episode 4 Recaps
Lauren and Michele recap OC and are delighted by the slo-mo return of our flop queen Katie!We plow through Gretchen and Tamra whining, Shannon making the pet psychic work for her coin, and Emily promoting her non-profit to get to our girl's scene with Tamra!Then, its the Hoedown Showdown, where Slade tries to confront Tamra for camera time and she teleports out of the building- relatable reaction.Next, it's another banger episode for SLC, which is really firing on all cylinders. Everyone is firing insults and insanity on all cylinders are usual, but are also taking their time and actually getting to the bottom of the 100 insane accusations we get per episode.Like Lisa accused Angie of... having a credit card? Why is that bad? What does that mean?Are the ladies at their peak performance thus far? We think so, and we have a lot of Freudian analysis on why Brittany can't stop stroking that cactus.
