Real housewives of Potomac S5 Reunion Pt. 1 Review by itsrox 

Monique was best dressed. I loved Candaice's ponytail. Wendy was most improved, I loved her hair and the yellow was beautiful on her. Ashley looked a mess.

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Monique slap Gizelle back to factory settings. She didn't even have to use her hands to do either. That read was one for the books. 😭

"She insulted my child". "Did she insult him or did she just say she looks like your husband?" "That's the same thing. It was rude." "Well, uh......" Ashley really just shaded her own husband and child on national television.

I hate when people talk about age. If you keep living, you will get “old”. And you better hope & pray(especially the way things are going now & days) you even make it to a certain age with good health & strength & a right mind.

I don't understand the rules of "shade" on these shows. The popularity of this franchise was built on the audience tuning in for "shade" and "reading," was it not? Phaedra was lauded for making fun of Cynthia's fibroids, mocking Kenya's fertility, saying her dark skin was the color of sheeit, and more. People thought it was a "read" when Nene insinuated that Phaedra's children would grow up to be criminals like Apollo, and thought it was deserved when Marlo mocked Kenya's mother abandoning her. Let's not forget Ashley went so far as to suggest Monique's MISCARRIAGE was caused by her alcoholism! But somehow I'm supposed to believe that because Candiace fires back in a similar manner, she's hateful, disgusting, vile, a demon, and so on and so forth? What's makes it "worse?" I'm not making excuses for Candiace's mouth, because she always goes overboard. However, you can't make excuse for terrible things to be said by other women, then bulldoze another person for doing the same, simply because you don't like them. I am beyond over the hypocrisy.

Ashley’s dress looked like the kind of dress that someone made on Project Runway and got sent home for it!!

One of the BEST reunions I've seen in a Long Time Karen and Monique Did Not Come To Play

Monique did her research, took notes and practiced in the mirror before delivering that thorough presentation. Lol. AND she cited her sources. Sis deserves an A+ for that. 😭

Seeing Monique continue to read the text messages while Candiace was talking almost sent me tf outta here. 😭😭😭

If Gizelle hadn’t looked so stunned and embarrassed I might have believed those texts were possibly fake. But her face said it all 😂. Monique was gorgeous. Ashley has too much money to look so tragic.

Honey Monique pulled that receipt binder out like Brandy and her poems 🤣 she was ready!!!

Karen and Monique was playing Mortal Kombat. All Karen heard was "Finish Her!!!" before she asked if Jamal was coming to the reunion.

I felt so embarrassed for Giselle. You could tell Mo was talkin facts.

The colorism segment was disappointing and poorly handled. All you have to do is look into any RHOP comment section to see what's being said about Candiace and Wendy, and it's truly disgusting. Way too many references to animals, ugliness, jealousy of the other girls' looks, and other "choice words." Someone even compared Candiace to YSAP. Even at their worst, Robyn, Ashley, and Gizelle haven't had that same kind of venom spewed towards them based on them being "pretty." This aspect of the conversation going unacknowledged drove me insane.

It's sad that Ashley got away with the pure evil from 2 seasons ago. She was much worse than Gizzelle

Gizelle had it coming. She better start being quicker on her feet with her responses since she claims she can read so well. If not she will just have to take it and meet her match

I don’t even watch the show I just came to say that Rox is aging backwards Hair & skin always on point like you always say “if you stay ready you ain’t got to get ready” 🙌🏾😍

Andy is messssssssyyyyyyy.... and when he said they have a newly surfaced clip of Michael and the production I said 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ ANDYYYYYYYYYYY😂😂😂

Gizelle at reunions reminds me of an employee at a staff meeting. She's already put in her hours (during the season), she comes to the meeting (i.e. reunion) because she is obligated to. Gizelle is too confrontational during the season, what more is there for her to say/do by the time reunion comes around.

Ashley’s usage of words are different for when she talks to the lighter woman than it is with the darker. The things she’s doing is legit the same crap that was happening to OG. She’s never deemed the other women aggressive or ferocious or even herself.

Robyn's hair looked like it had tire tracks on it!

When Monique pulled out that damm binder In my Rox voice I said du du dummm!!😂😂😂 Sis was not playing

I believe Ashley gets that tone of calling women aggressive from her husband. His attitude towards Candace is so nasty And I would believe he drops those “fog whistle” words in her hearing.

Right on time!!! Hey Rox and fellow Roxstars 🙋🏾‍♀️

I tell people all the time “if you can dish it out, you have to take it”. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Karen should’ve revealed the receipts because Monique was pressed to be cool with Gizelle at the top of the season when she knew Gizelle knew about the trainer/baby daddy rumor.

Monique chiming in to defend the word 'aggressive ' was absolutely COMICAL. if Monique doesn't cut it out, I'll tell you what.😅

Chile, I just binged watched this whole series after hearing all the hullabaloo surrounding this season & I was not prepared to see Rox’s Karen impression. I literally almost choked on my food 😂 Rox is the master of reality show celebrity impressions!

Wendy looked beautiful 💄

Jewel tones usually look great on brown skin. Too bad that beautiful canary yellow was overshadowed by those tragic, outdated fashions.

Giselle was Annihilated! Karen kept her foot on her neck and Monique finished her mortal combat style.

I loved that Karen had her foot firmly attached to Gizelle thick neck

This reunion was 🔥

Monique aired that room out, ain’t nobody had shit to say after she read his number aloud. And then Karen came and that was that on gizelle.

Honestly, it's not just about the fact that Wendy and Candiace have been called "aggressive," "ferocious," and "vile." It's the fact that all the women have done and said vile things to each other, but don't get hit with those same labels. Certain women on the show have to be super apologetic about all their actions too. There is a different set of standards for certain ladies. I wonder why. 🤔 Also, the Karen impressions are always one of the highlights of these reviews. 😂😂

Ashley uses words like Ferocious and Attacked to paint herself as some innocent Lamb being mauled by Lions. She does the quintessential, suburban white woman driving through the city who locks their door suddenly and clutches her pearls. I could see why the brown skin girls would want to say "Oh please Ashley.. you are just as ratchet, ghetto and "aggressive" as the people you direct your comments to. I just like how Wendy said you know, "Just change your word choices.. like calling a child bad vs needing room for improvement" Word choices can be very telling.

Gizelle needed that dressing down. She's been a nasty mean girl forever and always coming at Karen. I did not like how Monique beat up Candiace and how ugly she acted afterwards but watching her check Gizelle is making me fall back in love with her. Robyn and her cheetah girl hair couldn't even help her green eyed sis. LOL. She was probably scared too.

I like all of these ladies...Except Ashley lol...But the colorist behaviors of this show towards Wendy and Candice was starting to mimic the behaviors of Shaunie and her crew when it came to how they treated OG. Everyone can say what they want to them but they have to be quiet when it comes to standing up for themselves.

Best dress= Monique Worse dress= Ashley

They edited the reunion so heavily. Look at Ashley's hair, sometimes it was flat and the next scene it was curled smh

Jamal hanging with Sierra and Bk Chile lol.. I was waiting for u to say Gizzelle scratch ur neck bc u are molded 😂

Monique gave Giselle the receipts with a BOW!

Monique should have had this energy towards Gizelle this season instead of gunning for Candiace the whole season. It just doesn’t make sense. Gizelle said she wasn’t gonna respond to Monique so I knew she was just gonna sit there, but next season Gizelle is gonna open a can of worms on Monique. Monique took those gloves off and brought gizelles kids into it so next season she can’t play victim.

And yes it was edited all out of order because one minute Ashley’s hair was straight and the next it was all curled up 😂

Wendy came in there knowing who she was and wasn’t going to like. Period

I was WAITING for this! Hey Rox and Roxstars. Yellow is my absolute FAVORITE colors. 💛

Gizelle was at Monique's neck from the first time they met...she came to Monique's house with Cal being rude AF and Monique eventually told them they had to leave. That wasn't a 'this season" take down by Monique. That was a 4 season take down. And yes, Gizelle had it coming. I know the other women are shook now about Monique and that book. She got intel on everyone. Who gonna be next and try to step to her?? No one...lol.

That Monique was on one!! It was entertaining but boy did she open the 🚪 door!! I hope her & big boy got perfect relationship because I know she going be dig for dirt on them!! That why they say when people go low stay high ! Next season going be good!! Cause you could see behind her green eyes her mind was moving!! Like that how we doing it!! LOL

This reunion was everythingggg especially towards the end I was Litteraly gagging Monique and her binder will go down in reunión history

I am home sick with Covid 😷and it hurts to laugh. I thought I was going to cough up a damn lung laughing at Karen tearing into Gizelle . 😂😂

You have literally the BEST RHOP reviews, so leave headed and unbias. Love being a roxstar!!!

I loved how Monique paid Candace dust. Monique and Karen worked so well together, well done, bravo 👏🏾. Looking forward to the continuation in part 2.

Your Karen impersonations still Crack me up.😂😂😂😘😘😘

Ashley looked so stupid trying to go toe to toe with Wendy. She looked totally defeated.

Did y’all see Robyn had prints of all of her IOUs in her hair!?!! Whew chile, she owes a lot of Ppl 😭😭😭😭😭

Candiace and Wendy ❗️❤️

I wonder if Wendy said she has four homes, designer clothes shoes and accessories she would be a Fan Fav

The Nene and Kenya tag team of Kim Zolciak is one of my all time favorite moments in reality tv

All I can say is👏🏾👏🏾Monique!! Ooooh wee, had gizelle lookin craaaaazy! 😶😶

Wendy face was very shiny, Monique slayed she looked beautiful the yellow complemented her brown complexion.

It really seems to just be me.....but I really felt like that whole scene w/ Monique & Giselle was overkill. Didn't help that Andy's messy ass was sitting there acting as if this was all a surprise to him.

Karen was cracking me UP

MONIQUE'S READ WAS THE BEST YET SINCE PHAEDRA! 😩🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was waiting on this from the moment the reunion ended!!!! Usually the first part falls flat but this!!!!!

From the neck up Wendy looked like a Glam Barbie😍

I’m glad Monique brought a binder. Bring the receipts; tell the truth. Baby girl was readinggggg and Gizelle’s face was stuck on stupid

I am not a fan of Monique and her attack on Gizelle who I am not a fan of either, actually irritated me. All I could think of was Gizelle’s children and for Monique to claim she has an issue with attacking families, you could have fooled me. I call BS on that.

Monique had TIME that day!!!

I've been waiting for this review ALL DAY!

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REVIEW

Yessss!!!! I was praying you got off work early to give us this!!

Best dressed : Monique Worst Dressed: Ashley

The colorism comes from Gizelle and Robyn when it comes down to the way they treat Monique. Gizelle uses Candiance as a pawn and Gizelle only likes Wendy due to the AKA status, and Robyn follows. However, Ashley and Candiance are both aggressive af. Robyn was also in the beginning seasons. Wendy was trying to secure a peach and chose the wrong lane to do so.

Like you said before Auntie Rox....the show is about to take a dark turn. After last night, Gizelle is going to be out for blood next season. It's going to be ruthless. There will now be a permanent divide in the cast & i think Monique is going to suffer the most.

Gizelle's dress was from Lisa Nicole Cloud 🤣🤣 when you said "off the rack". That's the perfect way to describe LN dresses. Oh, as for Robyn, she has a yellow leopard print in her hair Edit: I can't lie, Monique did look the best to me. That dress is gorgeous

Ashley was putting Wendy down first

Candiace ate Ashley and her fivehead up real quick, and Karen keeps lying for no reason. Monique showed her ignorance with that colorism commentary, and she brought a Lisa Frank binder full of receipts we're already aware of, however Gizelle's reaction was priceless. By the way Ashley's dress was atrocious, pregnancy is not excuse for poor fashion choices especially when you have money.

I love you Rox and this reunion is everything!

Dear God.... I'M HERE(Celie Voice)

Great review, Rox! I can’t wait for these next two episodes. I usually just listen to the reviews instead of actually watching, but I’m actually looking at this one. I see my girl has her nails and lashes back! Come through!

I have been waiting for this review 😁

Rox, I was looking for you in the daylight, like a cop with a flashlight! I could not wait for this review! I applaud Karen and Monique for the way they brought the house and the green eyed monster down. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 That ending left Gizelle utterly speechless and she had it coming, thank you Ms. Karma.

Hey Rox, perfect timing!!!

Not the Church Announcements 😂 😂 😂 yassssssss

I wanna see if Monique has a tab for Karen in that binder cause if so GRAND DOM ain't gonna know what to do or say. Monique and Karen was too pressed about Gisselle and Jamal. I thought Gisselle said her and Jamal was working things out, I didn't hear her say that they were in any relationship.

Handy dandy notebook lol shout out to blue clues lol

When Monique said she was tired of people being fake I cackled. That's what she's ashley and karen are lol we know candiaces biz, gizelle's biz, bull or not, Robyn's biz and wendy has opened up. The other three ladies deflect when it comes to them. Karen deflects when she doesnt want to answer and ashley and monique just flat out lie 🤣🤣🤣 like her pastor said everything she puts on the other ladies she represents herself

Gizelle was GAGGGGGED!! Monique and Karen had their heels on Gizelle's NECK.. & I WAS LIVING..

I was waiting for youuu🥰🥰🥰🥰

Monique: *reads off Jamal’s number* Andy: is that his number? Gizelle: .... - yea that’s his number Candiace: well that’s unfortunate Me: HHHAAALLPPPP SOMEBODY HALLP!! 911! POLICE! POLICE! *faints*

Gurl!!! I Was Waiting For U!!!!

Monique did that... it was low but she feels justified. Can’t be mad at that.

Lisa Nicole from Married to Medicine made Gizelle's ugly dress

Been waiting on this

Love your reviews!!! Starting to watch your RHOA reviews now and loving it!!!

😂 When Andy asked was that number I died 😩!!!!!

The show was one of the best reunion part 1’s ever !! Why I went to read your blogs and they are really good... you should right us a good hood fiction book ! 🤣 I would read for sure.

Monique always serves. Yesss hunny!

Monique can come at Gizelle verbally b/c Gizelle doesn’t have any comeback. Candiace will go back and forth so I’m waiting to see them go head to head on the stage.

Yes! Auntie Rox!! I been waiting on this!
