Will Candiace and Chris Bassett's marriage become another collateral to 'Real Housewives of Potomac'? After watching the steadily growing tension between the couple fans are convinced that it's just a matter of time before the private chef leaves the housewife. The recently aired episode of 'RHOP' featured several tense moments between the couple.

It all began with Candiace and fellow housewife Mia Thornton getting into a heated fight over 'low budget' comments. Candiace was unhappy with Mia labeling her music video shoot 'low budget', while Mia was upset over her co-star calling her mother 'low budget'. Soon the ladies began throwing salads at each other and breaking objects in fury. The husbands were brought in to handle their angry wives. Mia's husband Gordon Thornton patiently heard out his wife's complaints against Candiace and agreed to her request of going back home. On the other hand, Chris pulled Candiace outside and gave her an earful for reacting to Mia's comments.

Chris urged his wife to rise above the petty issues and to be a bigger person and let go off some things. Despite his requests to make peace with Mia, Candiace refused to clear things up with her fellow housewife but thankfully she didn't pick up another fight with Mia. However, the peace was short-lived as later that day Candiace once again got into an ugly brawl with Ashley Darby. Candiace didn't appreciate Ashley reminding Chris and her about some of the statements they made in the past about Michael both on and off-cameras. 

While Chris was trying to pacify the situation by extending an olive branch to Ashley and her husband, Candiace continued to add fuel to the fire and both the ladies soon got into a screaming match at a restaurant where they were all dining. Things got really ugly when Candiace refused to apologize or acknowledge some of the offensive tweets she made on Michael and Ashley. When Ashley questioned what Candiace meant in her tweet where she reportedly called Michael a 'slave driver' and openly wondered if her co-star was calling her a slave. Chris began demanding Candiace to not respond and to step away, but the housewife insisted on sitting right there and continuing her verbal assaults against the Darbys.

A very frustrated Chris stood up and walked out of the restaurant alone. Askale Davis' husband Dre Davis followed Chris and found him wiping his tears away. Chris frustratedly expressed how Candiace always holds onto petty things and refuses to be a bigger and more mature person. He declared that he was tired of it. Finally Candiace came to check on Chris and tried to pacify him by saying that she had nothing more to say to Ashley and took him back inside to the restaurant. 



 

This isn't the first ugly fight between Chris and Candiace. In an earlier episode too the couple were filmed getting into a heated fight over his role of 'husban-ger' aka husband/ manager of the housewife. Candiace was expecting him to be at her beck and call, where as Chris felt that he should get a little time for himself as he wasn't getting paid by the housewife anyway for his services. 

After watching the couple's constant quibbling many 'RHOP' fans came to the conclusion that their marriage wouldn't last for too long. A fan tweeted, "Getting to catch up on #RHOP there’s just no way I see Chris and Candiace marriage lasting." Another fan wrote, "Dorothy is right. I have more faith in Ashley and Michael’s marriage than Candiace and Chris. Their relationship makes no sense… #RHOP," wrote a fan. Another fan added, "Chris and Candiace won’t last long because she’s to childish i can’t believe she was on Obama’s campaign they way she acts #RHOP."

She does too much and Chris will get tired of her a** very very soon #RHOP." "Look at how Candiace is so rude and resistant with her husband. I honestly don’t know how Chris deals. I wonder how long they’ll last. She’s something else. We don’t want NO apologies and tears at the reunion. SIT IN YO SH*T #RHOP ," seconded a fan.
