RHOM Season 7, Episode 8 Recap: From Wolves to Rottweilers, Feuds Explode.

When it comes to the Real Housewives of Miami, drama is never docked for long…and this week’s “Dueling Yachts” proves it. Between Guerdy and Julia’s lingering tension, Adriana and Marysol’s verbal sparring, and a brutal clash between Stephanie Shojaee and Alexia Nepola, this trip gave us everything we could want from a high-seas Housewives showdown.

🐾 Stephanie vs. Alexia: The Rottweiler vs. The Wolf

Stephanie and Alexia. These two have been circling each other for weeks, and their yacht showdown finally pushed things overboard—figuratively, anyway.

Alexia, who once proudly dubbed herself a “rottweiler,” didn’t take kindly to Stephanie joking about the nickname. Stephanie fired back, calling herself “a wolf,” which only fueled Alexia’s competitive streak. And while this might have started as playful banter, it didn’t take long for the shade to turn sharp.

“F*** you, Stephanie,” Alexia snapped the next morning when Stephanie made another jab over FaceTime. Stephanie coolly replied, “I have a name. It’s Stephanie.” The tension between these two is so thick, you could cut it with a yacht anchor.

🚤🚤 The Two-Yacht Solution

Of course, none of this would be happening if it weren’t for Larsa and Kiki’s genius plan to split the group across two yachts after Guerdy’s explosive party. Their Post-It-note strategy for dividing the ladies was iconic Housewives logistics at its finest.

• Yacht One: Larsa, Julia, Alexia, Stephanie, Marysol

• Yacht Two: Guerdy, Lisa, Adriana, Kiki

And honestly? They weren’t wrong.

🔨 Stephanie’s Construction-Site Flex

Before the yachts even launched, Stephanie invited Larsa to tour her under-construction mansion—a massive project courtesy of her husband, Masoud Shojaee. Stephanie’s plan? Completely gutting the 22,000-square-foot home he once shared with his ex. (Petty? Maybe. Relatable? Absolutely.)

And because this is Housewives, Stephanie casually revealed her soon-to-be 1,000-square-foot closet, complete with a wall for her Birkins. As one does

🎭 Guerdy vs. Julia: The Sequel 

While Stephanie and Alexia were trading insults, Guerdy and Julia continued their cold war. Guerdy stood firm, unapologetically defending her decision to plaster those text messages at her Celebration of Life party. Julia, however, wasn’t letting it go—insisting Guerdy’s stunt felt “deranged.”

Even Dr. Nicole Martin—bless her guest-appearance heart—couldn’t make peace when she FaceTimed with Guerdy and Stephanie to weigh in. Instead, Nicole called out the group’s toxic “blind loyalty,” clearly referring to Alexia’s ironclad alliance system.

🎯 Adriana vs. Marysol: Yacht Warfare

And because no RHOM trip is complete without Adriana lighting a match, she decided to hurl insults at Marysol from one yacht to another. Somewhere, Captain Lee from Below Deck is clutching his pearls.

Meanwhile, Kiki handed out water guns because apparently, this is just how maritime disputes are settled now.

🚢 Where We’re Headed Next…

By the end of the episode, Stephanie escaped to Canada for a quick rendezvous with Masoud (as one casually does in this group), but not before leaving her feud with Alexia unresolved. And if we know anything about RHOM, this battle is far from over.

For now, one thing’s clear: Miami has officially entered its villain era, and we are living for it.
