Overview of Watch What Crappens: RHOA S17E9 Part Two — “Sasquatch What Happens”
Ben Mandelker and Ronnie Karam continue their recap of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, focusing on the episode’s escalating friend-group drama: Kelly’s new teeth, Drew’s chaotic team meeting, the uneasy Portia/K. Michelle sit-down, and the explosive Angela vs. Shamea lunch fight. As always, the hosts mix plot summary with jokes, side tangents, and mockery of the cast’s messiest behavior.
Main Storylines Covered
Kelly’s $70,000 veneers
- Kelly gets a full dental makeover, courtesy of Jarvis.
- Ben and Ronnie spend a lot of time joking about:
- how extreme it is to have someone pay $70K for veneers after only a few months of dating,
- whether the relationship is genuine or love-bombing,
- and the broader differences between how straight women and gay men handle “sugar daddy” dynamics.
- They also discuss Kelly’s financial priorities, noting the irony of bankruptcy concerns and an expensive cosmetic procedure happening around the same time.
Drew’s giant team meeting
- Drew gathers a large, messy support team to discuss her career ambitions and possible next steps in acting/music.
- The room is full of assistants, a photographer named Ozone, a music producer, and other staffers, which the hosts find absurdly overblown.
- The meeting quickly devolves into people accusing each other of not doing their jobs:
- Walter the hairstylist complains about helping in ways he shouldn’t have to.
- Danny the driver/assistant defends himself and gets into it with Walter.
- Freedom becomes the voice of reason, but also gets dragged into the mess.
- The hosts read the whole thing as a thinly veiled setup for a Drew spinoff or “team drama” storyline.
Portia and K. Michelle attempt a reset
- Cynthia and another mediator bring Portia and K. Michelle together over lunch in an effort to calm tensions.
- The sit-down starts politely, but the conversation centers on:
- whether Portia ambushed K. Michelle,
- K. Michelle’s belief that Drew was involved in trying to expose her,
- and Portia insisting she was just responding to what had already been said.
- The two eventually reach a tentative truce, though K. Michelle still believes there’s more behind the scenes involving Drew.
- Ben and Ronnie point out that K. Michelle’s logic gets shakier as she keeps naming people who turn out not to have been guilty of what she thought.
Angela vs. Shamea: the big blow-up
- Angela and Shamea meet at a restaurant to hash out their issues, and the scene becomes the episode’s funniest and most vicious clash.
- The dispute revolves around:
- whether Shamea is stirring things up,
- whether Angela is unfairly blaming her,
- and Shamea’s feeling that Angela is selective about who she forgives.
- The hosts love the escalating insults, especially:
- the “Sasquatch” comparison,
- the “double stuffed Oreo” jab,
- and the running bit about Shamea’s “discernment.”
- Angela ends up owning the scene, according to Ben and Ronnie, who think she lands the sharper reads.
Notable Commentary and Running Gags
- The hosts repeatedly joke about teeth, veneers, and cosmetic surgery, especially how often reality stars invest in major physical changes.
- They riff on:
- the absurdity of naming someone Ozone,
- how many assistants Drew allegedly has,
- and how reality TV personalities use “team” and “management” language to look more important.
- They also poke fun at the episode’s oddly dramatic “friendship contract” and the general habit of these women trying to resolve huge conflicts over lunch.
Key Takeaways
- Kelly’s veneers are treated as both a status symbol and a suspiciously large romantic gesture.
- Drew’s career aspirations are presented through a chaotic, overstaffed meeting that makes her look more organized than she may actually be.
- K. Michelle and Portia make progress, but the underlying suspicion around Drew remains.
- Angela dominates the showdown with Shamea, which becomes the recap’s funniest and most memorable confrontation.
Bottom Line
This part-two recap is mostly about the cast trying, and failing, to act civilized while still dragging each other at every turn. Ben and Ronnie highlight how the episode balances petty interpersonal feuds with over-the-top production nonsense, making the whole thing feel both ridiculous and deeply entertaining.
