Well, hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens, I'm Ronnie. That's Ben over there. Hello, Ben.

**Ben Mandelker** (0:29)
Hi. Hi, how are you, Ronnie?

**Ronnie Karam** (0:31)
I'm okay.
It's Monday here at Watch What Crappens. We just did a Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Recap, and now we're on to Real Housewives of Atlanta, Reunion Part One. As usual, if you want this on video, you can get that along with bonus episodes, ad-free listening, a free weekly newsletter, a bunch of stuff, a Discord server to hang out on. That's all at our Patreon, Watch What Crappens. No, patreon.com/watch What Crappens. Also, this tonight, this night, tonight is Crappy Hour. We do that every other Monday at 530 Pacific Time, okay? So that's on YouTube and Patreon. It's free on both. So join us for that to chat. Bravo headlines this evening. And today, Real Housewives of Atlanta, Season 17, Reunion Part 1

**Ben Mandelker** (1:28)
Yes. Well, Atlanta always brings it for the reunion. This is no exception. And we begin with Andy going to Porsha's dressing room, and she's feeling good about today. She's excited. It's like the pre-reunion, you know? Like it's like the pre-show where he goes and says hi to everyone.
And he's like, well, I kinda feel like it's possible for you to leave in a better place with pretty much everybody with the exception of Shamir. And she's like, yep, you'd be correct. Okay, great. Well, I will work my hardest to undermine that then.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:01)
And now we see Jarvis for the first time ever, Kelly's boyfriend, the teeth buyer, Jarvis.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:12)
Yes.
Dun, dun, dun. We finally saw Jarvis and that was, it was like a quick flash. They had to stop the cameras, they had to stop everything. And then, and then that was it. So then someone's showing up, everyone's showing up on the set. The set is Scotland themed, like their mansion. So they all are wearing a lot of colors, like greens and et cetera to match it. And Kelly is wearing a crazy dress that has like these big fake pearls that sort of go around it, up and around it. Her, I hate it.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:49)
It looks like she's crawling out of a pearl hole, you know, a wire that goes all the way around her head. And Shamia is doing the same thing, but not with pearls. Her also has a giant collar that goes around her whole head.
So those two are still kind of copying each other. I think everybody looks great.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:08)
It's the same designer, by the way, cause very shortly Kelly says, I'm wearing a Lena Gershon. I forgot what it was. It's a Gina Gershon, whoever the lady was. So I looked her up. I was like, who designed this awful dress? Is this like a designer who is well regarded, et cetera? I'm gonna be like, it's Gahlia Mahab, or whatever her name was. And everyone's gonna come at me and be like, how could you make fun of this designer? She's so good. So I looked it up and on her Instagram, at least as of last night, I did not look it up today, but it was so funny because Shamiah's reunion dress is by the same designer, and the designer put Shamiah's look on her Instagram grid, but did not put Kelly's.
I was like, oh, she did not like how it looked on Kelly, or she was not proud of that dress, that's for sure.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:59)
Yeah, Shamiah's definitely looked better. I just wonder about all the stuff you're gonna get that pearl thing going around your head caught on, you know?

**Ben Mandelker** (4:09)
She looked like she was in a basket, and that was the handle. It looked like her breasts were having a thought, and the thought bubble was on her back. It was like, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop.

**Ronnie Karam** (4:19)
Well, I'm Andy Cohen, just hoping Mr. Clean and Papa Smurf don't catch any more strays today. So, we're gonna find out today whether there was a plot and a plan, or if it was a scheme that Todd said.

**Ben Mandelker** (4:39)
So Andy goes around the horn like, hi Kelly, hi Shamiah, and he gets the Phaedra, and we see that Phaedra had a full on scene with Jasmine Crockett, and they did not include it in the show. I was like, how do you not include that? That's like, she's like a major politician in this country, and that's also like something for Phaedra to do. Like they really did not give Phaedra much to do this season, and like that would have been an actual, I think, interesting scene at least, and they just didn't even air that. That's crazy.
