The Real Housewives of Dallas Recap: Charity, Farts For All

On The Real Housewives of Dallas premiere, tensions spiked at a charity event featuring some of the most pampered socialites in Big D.


We began The Real Housewives of Dallas Season 1 Episode 1 about how you’d expect, meeting the cast of Bravo’s newest spinoff …



If you tuned in last night or watch The Real Housewives of Dallas online, it’s quickly obvious that the theme of this new series is charity.


Seriously, these women are into the Dallas charity scene like The Real Housewives of Potomac are into etiquette. It’s all they talk about.


So … meet Brandi Redmond, Stephanie Hollman, Cary Deuber, Tiffany Hendra, LeeAnne Locken, and their friend Marie Reyes everybody!


LeeAnne may have the most interesting back story. In her own words, “I grew up a carny kid. Play games with me and you’re gonna pay.”


Seriously, she grew up in a traveling carnival. Which served her well! “The carnival really prepared me for life in Dallas society,” she says.


Bravo shows are a bit of a circus, this is true. 


Also interesting about Locken? Her relative lack of wealth. As such, she’s in the charity game not to write the big checks, but to volunteer.


This fuels part of the dynamic surrounding LeeAnne’s obsession with proper charity event ETIQUETTE (if you will, Potomac be damned).  


Contrast that with Brandi and Stephanie’s love of poop and fart jokes and getting drunk of Jesus Juice and you’ve got yourself a show!


For real. “We’ll have a little too much to drink and we’ll pee in bushes and she will fart on command and I will dance in her fart.” – Stephanie.


As for Marie and why she will eat anyone else’s leftovers, or why LeeAnne referred to salsa as “Mexican sauce,” we may never know.


Cary perhaps summed up the new show best: “I don’t know how you get a job drinking and socializing, but maybe I should look into it.” 


Seriously. Truer words have never been spoken.
