<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Reality with the King. It's me Carlos Kings,

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 1>the King of Reality TV and one of the most

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 1>sought after executive producers in reality television with over ten

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 1>years a production experience. Twice a week on Reality with

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.679
<v Speaker 1>the King, we'll sit down with my friends across the

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>entertainment industry, recap our favorite reality shows and revisit unforgettable

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>moments that we are still talking and tweeting about. Hay,

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 1>rain Drops, Honey, this is a sad day. I am

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:57.919
<v Speaker 1>wearing black. I have on a veil. What is going

0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 1>on on the Royal House Boss of a tomb mcbaby,

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I am gagging, I am appalled, and I'm sad. I

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:12.920
<v Speaker 1>am sad to announce that Candace Dealer Basset is leaving

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 1>the Real Housewives of Potomac. Breaking news, breaking news, breaking news.

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>The journalist to the Housewives, Honey, Dave Quinn, has reported

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>that after six seasons, Canda has said, and I quote,

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 1>I am filled with gratitude. Well, shit, that makes one

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 1>of us, Candace. I'm not filled with gratitude. I'm filled up, Honey.

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>I need some pepto bismo. Honey. I am full of sadness.

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I did not see this coming and this is not

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>what I anticipated or even wanted. Now, as you know,

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 1>rain Drops, the Real Housewives of Potomac, in my opinion, allegedly,

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 1>it hasn't been that right in the past two seasons.

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.800
<v Speaker 1>We needed a cast shake up. I have said multiple

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 1>times that there needs to at least be three women

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 1>that should be removed. Now. I made a promise to

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 1>the rain Drops that I would not suggest the three

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 1>women until after the reunion, but apparently child two of

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>them have been revealed. We have learned that Candace Dialer

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Bassett is leaving. She has given People Magazine that exclusive. However,

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>breaking news, it has been reported by the Jasmine Brand. Yes, Baby,

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>that Robin Dixon is gone. The gag up it all now.

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Robin being gone to me, it's a good thing, and

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I'll address that later, but let's first kick off things

0:03:56.160 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>with candas. It's unfortunate because when I interview can for

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 1>the podcast, Candace said she prayed to be on the

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Royal Housewives of Potomac and that this was something that

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>she wanted badly, and when she got the call, she

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>pretty much prayed for this, manifested this, and I just

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 1>thought that was so dope that, you know, she has

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:22.479
<v Speaker 1>shown that prayer works, that manifestation works, and it's sad

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 1>that it did not work out for her. I think

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:28.719
<v Speaker 1>Candace came to this show with the best intentions. She

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>came to the show wanting to be herself, and unfortunately

0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 1>I think the way some of those women operate, it's

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:43.040
<v Speaker 1>hard to be yourself. And I remember Candace's first season

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 1>where she was being hazed, right, you know she was,

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.359
<v Speaker 1>and she was told by some of the housewives, like,

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 1>stand up for yourself, don't let these girls come for you.

0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.040
<v Speaker 1>And they were giving her pep talk to like read

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 1>the girls. And little did they know, honey, she was baby,

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:10.600
<v Speaker 1>a master at reading the girls, master class, Baby, she

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.720
<v Speaker 1>was fantastic at it. And then she gave you her

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 1>issues with her now husband, Chris Bassett. We got to

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 1>see Mama Dorothy. She is the quintessential housewife. She comes

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 1>from wealth, she is a passionate girl, her mother is

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:34.720
<v Speaker 1>all of in her business. Hey, miss Dorothy, and she's

0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:40.920
<v Speaker 1>in a relationship with the man who comes from humble beginnings.

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 1>And that's a dynamic that we enjoy from our housewives.

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Where did things go wrong? Though she had the best setup,

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 1>and then for the past two years, it appears that,

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:57.800
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion, that Candace was coming to work every

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:04.400
<v Speaker 1>day not being herself or feeling happy to be there

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:09.719
<v Speaker 1>because of the environment in which she was at. You know,

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.800
<v Speaker 1>I love Giselle Kobe Bryant. She is number nine of

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 1>My Greatest Housewife's List, and that's not going to change.

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 1>But Gazelle controls the energy in the room. Gizelle is

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 1>the force multiplier. And with Candace and Gazelle being on

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 1>the outs and Gizelle just not giving Candace any time

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.479
<v Speaker 1>of the day, it's a very tough environment to be

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:38.720
<v Speaker 1>in when the force multiplier isn't giving you anything. Giselle

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>controls the energy. The girls know that, Hey, if Jazelle's

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 1>in a good mood, then we're all in a good mood.

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 1>If Jazail's in a bad mood, well, bitch, we're all

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 1>in a bad mood. And that's what Candace had to

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 1>face and what appeared to be this current season of

0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Candace checking out out of I think Candace was checking out.

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.839
<v Speaker 1>I think they checked out of Canvas. I think Candace

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 1>knew that it was a voice to Men's song, maybe

0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 1>end of the Road. I believe she knew that. I

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 1>believe she knew that her time was up. I believe

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>she was aware that. I don't think they want me back,

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.400
<v Speaker 1>and I do believe that perhaps she did not want

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 1>to come back. It just wasn't suitable for her anymore.

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.160
<v Speaker 1>And The reason why it wasn't suitable anymore is because

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>we lost the spark that Candace had her eye. She

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:44.160
<v Speaker 1>loved being a housewife, she loved being a reality star.

0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>She used this opportunity to start a really successful singing

0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:56.320
<v Speaker 1>career that has legs. She had a sellout tour. She

0:07:56.480 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 1>opened up for the amazing Tamar Braxton, and her album

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 1>was actually really good. My favorite song of the album

0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:10.280
<v Speaker 1>is called is It Enough? So Canvas has left? And

0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 1>this is what she said and I quote, as I

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:18.640
<v Speaker 1>embark on a new chapter after six remarkable years with

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the Real Housewives of Potomac, I'm filled with gratitude for

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:28.520
<v Speaker 1>the enriching friendships, personal growth, and moments of introspection that

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 1>have defined this journey. With a whirlwind of new opportunities

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:39.400
<v Speaker 1>and responsibilities on my plate, I have decided to take

0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:43.080
<v Speaker 1>a break from the Real Housewives of Potomac. This is

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 1>not a farewell, but a see you later. Now. I

0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.440
<v Speaker 1>like to read between the lines, Honey, she said, with

0:08:52.600 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 1>a whirlwind of new opportunities and responsibilities, Candace, what are

0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 1>these responsibilities? That sounds very personal with a WorldWind of

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 1>new opportunities, So I take that as she has more

0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:15.199
<v Speaker 1>to do with her singing career. But as I'm reading,

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:21.839
<v Speaker 1>responsibilities that's personal. So if you quit the Real Housewives

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:29.360
<v Speaker 1>of Potomac for new responsibilities, that's personal. Could there be

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 1>a new arrival of some sorts. I get this sense

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:41.160
<v Speaker 1>that Candace may be expecting something not a champagne flute,

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 1>because you're not supposed to drink when you're expecting something.

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Am I reading too much into this?

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 1>With a whirlwind of new opportunities that's music career to

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:58.720
<v Speaker 1>me and responsibilities on my plate? We all know that

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:04.839
<v Speaker 1>Candace and Chris we're going through their IVF journey, so

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:10.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe Candace is expecting a bundle of joy. Candace did

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.880
<v Speaker 1>say last week on a podcast that she has been

0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:19.680
<v Speaker 1>thinking heavily about kids and having conversations about their complexion.

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:23.920
<v Speaker 1>We will not get into that, honey, but there is

0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:29.200
<v Speaker 1>something interesting about saying responsibilities on my plate. And if

0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Candace is expecting something blue or pink, honey or neutral colors, okay,

0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 1>thank you, that's a good reason to leave, because you

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:48.240
<v Speaker 1>don't want to have a high risk situation while you're

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 1>dealing with high risk housewives causing you stress. Child. If

0:10:56.200 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 1>that's the case, then, Candace, congratulations, I'm proud of you.

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 1>But all jokes aside. This is sad because I know

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.920
<v Speaker 1>how much she loved this job, and I know how

0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:12.320
<v Speaker 1>much she wanted it, and I don't feel right about this.

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.560
<v Speaker 1>I think Candace had a couple more years before quitting

0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:21.440
<v Speaker 1>or saying her goodbyes. For now, she says. And that's

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the other thing. Hey, she said, this is not a

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.440
<v Speaker 1>farewell but a see you later. So are we going

0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:33.560
<v Speaker 1>to see you nine months later? Candace? Wink wink? Or

0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:39.280
<v Speaker 1>should I say so? The question remains, did Candace quit?

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Or did Candace get fired? Now, y'all know, I like

0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 1>to keep it real. That's what I do here, and

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I love all the girls. The only housewives I've known

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 1>to quit has been Lisa Vanda Pump, Bethany Frankel, Adrian

0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:04.000
<v Speaker 1>maloof Monique Samuel's, and Portie Williams. They were not demoted

0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:08.200
<v Speaker 1>to friend of and then quit. They all quit their

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:12.360
<v Speaker 1>full time housewives role. That's what I know for sure, Honey.

0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:15.440
<v Speaker 1>As a fact, when it comes to Candace, people are

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.840
<v Speaker 1>asking did she quit or was she let go? I

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:22.040
<v Speaker 1>think that remains to be seen. If we get an

0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 1>announcement in a few more weeks. After maybe twelve weeks,

0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 1>we'll get another announcement perhaps, and I think that'll indicate

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 1>something interesting about this decision. Nevertheless, Candace, you were fantastic

0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:47.400
<v Speaker 1>on this show. We're sad to see you go. You're funny,

0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:51.319
<v Speaker 1>you're beautiful, you're talented, you are as real as they come.

0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 1>You wear your hard and your sleeve. You know how

0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:57.680
<v Speaker 1>to read the girls, and you're funny. And I hope

0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.520
<v Speaker 1>this is not the last that we will see of you.

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I hope that we're able to continue to see you

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:10.000
<v Speaker 1>on the road. Buy some music. Honey. You're great television,

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.199
<v Speaker 1>and it makes me sad that this did not work

0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:16.560
<v Speaker 1>out for you the way you thought it would. Being

0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:21.959
<v Speaker 1>on reality television is a very tough gig. And Baby,

0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:26.240
<v Speaker 1>you rose to the occasion every chance you got. And

0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm so so proud of the amazing, amazing strides you

0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:36.319
<v Speaker 1>made on this show. You may be gone, Kansas, Dilla Bassett,

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 1>but you are never forgotten. Child. We are just getting started. Ooh,

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:54.480
<v Speaker 1>rain drops. One thing about me, my hydration style means

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot to me. As you all know, I'm a

0:13:56.720 --> 0:14:03.720
<v Speaker 1>workou fanatic. I have so many jobs that hydration keeps

0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:07.560
<v Speaker 1>me going. And the way I like to quench my thirst, Baby,

0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:11.559
<v Speaker 1>I like to sip and see No, not phad edres.

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Sip and see child when she gave us Prince Aiden. Honey,

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about you. Sip on the liquor, baby, and

0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 1>you see how it works, which brings me to Liquid IV.

0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Liquor IV is so good, let me tell y'all. It

0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.440
<v Speaker 1>quenches my thirst fast and the water alone. It also

0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:34.400
<v Speaker 1>has three times the electrolytes of the leading sports drink,

0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:39.200
<v Speaker 1>plus eight vitamins and nutrients for everyday wellness. And Baby,

0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 1>the best part it all comes in a single sugar

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:48.920
<v Speaker 1>free stick. Yes, baby, no sugar. My favorite flavor of

0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Liquor IV would be, of course, honey white peach. So

0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 1>what I do is I get my glass of water,

0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I pour this single sugar free stick in and I

0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 1>stir it up. I'm doing your right now as we speak,

0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:03.880
<v Speaker 1>and let me take a sip for y'all. I know

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:09.760
<v Speaker 1>y'all can't see me, honey, but you can hear me. Yes,

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 1>there is nothing honey like a peach wink wink. When

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm on the go and I need to pick me

0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:20.880
<v Speaker 1>up I love using LIQUORIV because it involves so much

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.520
<v Speaker 1>electrolyzed and vitamins that it really does keep me going

0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.520
<v Speaker 1>and it keeps my energy going as well. So when

0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I have all these things I have to do for

0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.840
<v Speaker 1>the rain Drops child, whether it's going on tour that

0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing this year, creating shows, looking at shows, etc.

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:44.560

<v Speaker 1>This is reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King.

0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Let's get back into the show. Now. Allegedly, Candice Dillard

0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Bassett is not the only one Baby who is leaving

0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the show, according to the Jasmine Brand. Now, this one

0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:50.040
<v Speaker 1>is not a surprise to meet one hundred percent, and

0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I also think is very very necessary. The Jasmine Brand

0:16:55.200 --> 0:17:02.680
<v Speaker 1>has reported that Robin Dixon is not returning to the

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:08.480
<v Speaker 1>real Housewives of Potomac Child The Jasmine brand is so shady.

0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 1>They said network sources. How you call out your source?

0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Now everybody at Bravo is going to check the emails

0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:26.320
<v Speaker 1>of every employee there to see which one of y'all

0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:30.840
<v Speaker 1>contacted the Jasmine brand at Yahoo dot com. I mean,

0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:34.840
<v Speaker 1>what are we doing here? Not network sources? You could

0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:40.320
<v Speaker 1>have just said sources. This is the shadiest. Journalism is dead,

0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:44.960
<v Speaker 1>and speaking as a journalist, you can't reveal your sources.

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:48.040
<v Speaker 1>You have to just say sources. For you to say

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:52.080
<v Speaker 1>network sources. So now we know it's somebody who actually

0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:55.560
<v Speaker 1>works at the network. Lord jesus, what are we doing

0:17:56.160 --> 0:18:01.159
<v Speaker 1>any who? Network sources tell us that Reduction is shaking

0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:08.000
<v Speaker 1>up the cast, trying to revive the series. Now, spoiler alert.

0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:13.119
<v Speaker 1>When I said to you guys, three Potomac Housewives should

0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:18.800
<v Speaker 1>be removed next season, Robin Dixon was definitely one out

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:22.439
<v Speaker 1>of the three. I know Robin. I like Robin. I

0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 1>think she's a great girl. I said this once, and

0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll say it twice, and I'll say three times, four

0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:32.359
<v Speaker 1>and five, maybe six, eight, nine and ten if I

0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:35.080
<v Speaker 1>feel like it. It was time for Robin to go

0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Robin is not meant to be on reality TV at

0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:47.800
<v Speaker 1>this time to me, because she's not giving us the goods.

0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:52.800
<v Speaker 1>She appears to be very guarded when it comes to

0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:56.719
<v Speaker 1>her personal life. I think Robin has coasted for the

0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:02.480
<v Speaker 1>past six seasons. She is an og and she is

0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Giselle's literal Robin. Gizelle is Batman, Robin is her, Robin

0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Batman and Robin. It can't get any better than that, baby, Kobe.

0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I can't even call you Shaq, Robin. Let me call

0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Larcea Pippott and Marcus Jordan to get some more athlete references,

0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:29.119
<v Speaker 1>because it was Kobe as Shaq. Who else was on

0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:33.760
<v Speaker 1>the Lakers? But was it Dennis Rodman? Okay? So is Giselle,

0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Kobe Bryant and Robin Rodman. That's your day, Robin Rodman,

0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:45.080
<v Speaker 1>You're Dennis. Okay, there we go. So I believe that

0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Robin's lasted this long because of her friendship with Gizelle,

0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:55.080
<v Speaker 1>and they played off of each other well, and at

0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:57.960
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, the only real friendships that

0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 1>will last until the end of time that is not

0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:04.520
<v Speaker 1>made for television, Hey, Gar Solon Sutton, that is not

0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:12.879
<v Speaker 1>an alliance, Okay? Is Robin and Giselle in addition to Mary,

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:16.119
<v Speaker 1>Saul and Alexia. They're real friends in real life and

0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.679
<v Speaker 1>will always be friends with or without the TV show.

0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:21.520
<v Speaker 1>So we know that. But I do believe that Robin

0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:25.680
<v Speaker 1>was on the show this long because of that. I

0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:32.040
<v Speaker 1>think once wants cheating became a main storyline, Robin's staying

0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:36.600
<v Speaker 1>power was tested. Can you handle this? Not? Everybody can't

0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:41.560
<v Speaker 1>handle being the star of the show, the force multiplier,

0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:45.440
<v Speaker 1>the main girl. A lot of y'all can't handle that.

0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:50.399
<v Speaker 1>So Robin had an opportunity to really be, at least

0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:55.760
<v Speaker 1>for one season, the face of the season. You had

0:20:55.800 --> 0:21:01.320
<v Speaker 1>this incredible storyline between you and one and you did

0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:06.200
<v Speaker 1>nothing with it. You literally played in our faces. You

0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:10.119
<v Speaker 1>gave a scripted conversations between you and Wan and you

0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:13.640
<v Speaker 1>and the girls, and you never once wore your heart

0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:16.760
<v Speaker 1>on your sleeve. That's when we knew, like, you can't

0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:20.480
<v Speaker 1>handle being the main girl. You are a background singer.

0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:26.680
<v Speaker 1>You are supreme. You set up there and had Mia Thornton, which,

0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:31.040
<v Speaker 1>by the way, guys, Sunday Nights finale of the Real

0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:34.160
<v Speaker 1>House Spots of Potomac, those last ten minutes of Mia

0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:38.719
<v Speaker 1>and Gordon was the best I've seen in the history

0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:43.679
<v Speaker 1>of the franchise. Robin, you should be ashamed of yourself. Robin,

0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:46.040
<v Speaker 1>You've been on the show for eight seasons and gave

0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:54.520
<v Speaker 1>us nothing. Nothing. Mia came in and gave us paternity scandal, cheating,

0:21:55.280 --> 0:22:01.200
<v Speaker 1>hauled passes, big feet, Mia blyon. He's secured in the bag.

0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Mia has two men in her life. Mia gave us

0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:09.640
<v Speaker 1>three sums strip Club and Robin. You gave us silk hats,

0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:13.440
<v Speaker 1>which by the way, was lucrative, and you've done nothing

0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:16.160
<v Speaker 1>with that. And I like you, Robin. You know that.

0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I think you're a great girl. I do believe Robin

0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:23.600
<v Speaker 1>was fired. I don't think Robin quit. And I hate

0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:26.879
<v Speaker 1>to say this, but she should have been. Mia came

0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:33.960
<v Speaker 1>in like a wrecking ball, Miley Cyrus style, and Mia

0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:39.040
<v Speaker 1>is going to single handily revitalize the Real Housewives of

0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Atomac and Baby I'm here for it. Mia is a

0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:48.719
<v Speaker 1>star and Mia is going to captivate this audience in

0:22:48.760 --> 0:22:53.080
<v Speaker 1>a way that we needed. We were rooting for you, Robin.

0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I have never seen a girl have so much set

0:22:56.840 --> 0:23:01.880
<v Speaker 1>up to be the a story, the main story, and

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:07.919
<v Speaker 1>you allowed your insecurities to not give us what we

0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:11.760
<v Speaker 1>wanted the fact that Wan did not even show up

0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:16.720
<v Speaker 1>to the reunion, and you're the breadwinner. Gordon shows up

0:23:16.760 --> 0:23:20.360
<v Speaker 1>to the reunion and not Wan. You couldn't tell your

0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:25.040
<v Speaker 1>husband the money that we're making off of Potomac. And

0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:28.520
<v Speaker 1>I believe at this juncture, Robin's making at least a

0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:32.240
<v Speaker 1>million dollars maybe nine hundred thousand. That's a lot of money.

0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:36.159
<v Speaker 1>And you mean to tell me Wine couldn't sit on

0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 1>a stool behind you for two hours to make sure

0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:47.440
<v Speaker 1>that you had your job secured. That's fucked up. And

0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:52.640
<v Speaker 1>now you don't have a job when you had the

0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:58.920
<v Speaker 1>best potential storyline. This shakeup is what was needed. I'm

0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:01.320
<v Speaker 1>shocked to see Candad leave. I thought it should have

0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:05.280
<v Speaker 1>been Ashley, No shade. Well, damn. I gave y'all two

0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:11.560
<v Speaker 1>out of three. Damn, and I'm not gonna take it back.

0:24:12.080 --> 0:24:15.480
<v Speaker 1>All jokes aside. Listen, it's not fun for anyone to

0:24:15.520 --> 0:24:18.679
<v Speaker 1>lose their job. But it's one of those things where

0:24:19.320 --> 0:24:22.320
<v Speaker 1>let's have a real conversation. It's one of those things

0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:26.320
<v Speaker 1>where when you have a show like the Real Housewives

0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:30.920
<v Speaker 1>of Potomac that was constantly compared to Atlanta Housewives because

0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:33.280
<v Speaker 1>they're all black women. Let's let's let's keep it real.

0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:40.320
<v Speaker 1>But Potomac was on the verge of succeeding Atlanta, at

0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:44.120
<v Speaker 1>least when it came to conversation. Even ratings perhaps right,

0:24:44.960 --> 0:24:48.719
<v Speaker 1>But these past two seasons were dreadful, and I'm happy

0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:52.200
<v Speaker 1>to see at least some changes being made. One thing

0:24:52.240 --> 0:24:55.440
<v Speaker 1>about Potomac that I would give them they always get

0:24:55.480 --> 0:24:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the casting, right, I would give them that they always

0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 1>get the cast. So I am looking forward to seeing

0:25:02.760 --> 0:25:06.560
<v Speaker 1>some new faces. But like I said, Baby, build this

0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:11.960
<v Speaker 1>show around Mia. As you all watched the finale, what

0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Mia gave was some Monica Garcia type of reality, just real, nonscripted.

0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Gordon kept walking off the scene. The producers had to

0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:28.439
<v Speaker 1>talk him off the ledge. He told her, if you

0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:32.400
<v Speaker 1>want fair, go to a carnival. Yes. Peter Thomas teas

0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:36.840
<v Speaker 1>the fact that Gordon said, I was going through cancer

0:25:37.880 --> 0:25:41.880
<v Speaker 1>treatments and I said to you, I will allow you

0:25:42.040 --> 0:25:45.480
<v Speaker 1>to pretty much have a hall pass. And Mia took

0:25:45.520 --> 0:25:48.480
<v Speaker 1>that hall pass and went to the second floor of

0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:55.520
<v Speaker 1>the gymnasium and got rekindled with her foot locker boyfriend

0:25:55.560 --> 0:25:59.760
<v Speaker 1>that she met at seventeen. Baby called Ink Honey, Incognito,

0:26:00.280 --> 0:26:03.440
<v Speaker 1>who I interviewed for the podcast because I already knew

0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:07.280
<v Speaker 1>that Mia was gonna give us some great story. So

0:26:07.359 --> 0:26:09.399
<v Speaker 1>if you missed that interview, go check it out. His

0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:13.560
<v Speaker 1>name is Incognito, but for short, we call him Ink,

0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:17.640
<v Speaker 1>or if you like me, we call him Baby Forrest Whittaker.

0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:22.960
<v Speaker 1>He's very handsome. I love Ink, very handsome, very nice.

0:26:23.080 --> 0:26:27.080
<v Speaker 1>He's my guy. The best part about that finale was

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Mia scene. And the best part about this scene was

0:26:30.200 --> 0:26:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Gordon was throwing out so many accusations, and bitch Mia

0:26:34.680 --> 0:26:39.240
<v Speaker 1>did not deny any of them. She did not say

0:26:39.280 --> 0:26:44.359
<v Speaker 1>you fucking lying. Mia did not deny any of the lies, y'all,

0:26:45.880 --> 0:26:48.760
<v Speaker 1>and I love her even more for it. When he

0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:53.120
<v Speaker 1>said to her, our son said, why is mister Ink

0:26:53.240 --> 0:26:57.080
<v Speaker 1>always with mommy? Mommy's trying to replace you, daddy with

0:26:57.160 --> 0:27:04.960
<v Speaker 1>mister Ink. We saw mister Ink and Mommy kissing, like Mia, yo,

0:27:06.119 --> 0:27:10.080
<v Speaker 1>you making up for the kids? What in the Monica

0:27:10.119 --> 0:27:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Garcia mama in the in the front seat of the

0:27:12.560 --> 0:27:16.120
<v Speaker 1>car by Monica's in the back seat? Is going on here? Mia,

0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:20.720
<v Speaker 1>You tough girl, not kissing in front of the kids.

0:27:21.400 --> 0:27:24.920
<v Speaker 1>But this the gag at the end of the day.

0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Is it, Karma Gordon, Because when you met Mia, Mia

0:27:32.320 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 1>was with Ink and they lived together, and you still

0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:39.000
<v Speaker 1>decided to buy her a car while she was in

0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:43.120
<v Speaker 1>a whole ass relationship with Ink. See how those tables turn.

0:27:43.720 --> 0:27:48.480
<v Speaker 1>You took Mia away from Ink, and ten plus years later,

0:27:49.359 --> 0:27:53.879
<v Speaker 1>maybe twenty even Ink is back in MIA's life. I

0:27:53.920 --> 0:27:56.480
<v Speaker 1>love it. I love the fact that Mia had the

0:27:56.520 --> 0:28:02.240
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to go back an athlete, apology titian, a ups worker,

0:28:02.640 --> 0:28:09.080
<v Speaker 1>the bus driver, baby, an actor, and Mia decided to

0:28:09.240 --> 0:28:13.439
<v Speaker 1>use her goodies with an ex boyfriend. Y'all can call

0:28:13.560 --> 0:28:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Mia a lot of things. Mia ain't honing around sleeping

0:28:16.680 --> 0:28:19.720
<v Speaker 1>with everybody in the DMV like some of her castmates

0:28:19.760 --> 0:28:23.440
<v Speaker 1>are allegedly me ain't trying to find somebody off summer

0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:28.000
<v Speaker 1>House child. Mia ain't going on to Bravo Khan finding

0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:31.840
<v Speaker 1>her man. Mia said, what my hall past is going

0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:34.680
<v Speaker 1>to be with my first love? And I think that's

0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:39.960
<v Speaker 1>as I think that's admirable. But that's the reason why

0:28:40.000 --> 0:28:43.320
<v Speaker 1>we love Mama Mia. Mama Mia is now the face

0:28:43.400 --> 0:28:48.480
<v Speaker 1>of Potomac. Mama and Mia took Gizille's first chair. Mama

0:28:48.560 --> 0:28:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Mia gave us the realest scene the Real Housewives of

0:28:51.040 --> 0:28:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Potomac has e a given. Mia is the star of Potomac,

0:28:58.640 --> 0:29:03.360
<v Speaker 1>and dare I say, Miya is the Porsche of Potomac.

0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:08.920
<v Speaker 1>She's the unsung hero. She was the dark horse. And

0:29:09.120 --> 0:29:12.840
<v Speaker 1>y'all need to build this show around Mia the way

0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:15.840
<v Speaker 1>y'all are building the next season of The Rough Housewives

0:29:15.880 --> 0:29:21.000
<v Speaker 1>of Atlanta around Porsche allegedly. I want to see more, Jacqueline.

0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:25.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to see the paternity test. I want Maury

0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Povich to come out of retirement and give a DNA

0:29:29.400 --> 0:29:35.920
<v Speaker 1>test results to Mia and Gordon, because baby, when Gordon

0:29:36.040 --> 0:29:39.480
<v Speaker 1>spilt that tea and said, you told me you don't

0:29:39.520 --> 0:29:44.760
<v Speaker 1>even know if the baby in your belly is mine

0:29:45.160 --> 0:29:50.760
<v Speaker 1>or inks because the overlap, it's a little sketchy baby,

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:54.920
<v Speaker 1>that's the gag. This is the reality that we want.

0:29:56.200 --> 0:29:59.600
<v Speaker 1>This is it, This is it. I'm here for it.

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm here for it all. Mia Thornton, congratulations, you have
