Nene Leakes and Kenya Moore at Nene’s Christmas Party 2012
Meanwhile, Porsha has Cynthia over to her home which is fabulous. Kandi shows up for the shindig, too. Cynthia asks how many bedrooms Porsha’s house is and Porsha has to count them on her fingers and says either seven or eight. The girls gossip about Kenya. Kandi seems to think Kenya and Walter have been dating for two years?
Weird editing, Kenya who was just at lunch with Nene is now in another outfit meeting with Phaedra and Apollo. Kenya is pretending to be capable of producing their donkey booty. Kenya’s talking heads are all condescending to Phaedra and Apollo. Kenya gives Phaedra a signed DVD that she was in and then proceeds to ask Apollo if he and Phaedra role play in bed. Suddenly, Apollo and Phaedra are arguing about the length of the DVD.
Cynthia and Peter are shopping at health food store when Peter checks an Atlanta blog while shopping for gluten-free pizza. I’m sure all of you check Tamara Tattles in the middle of the grocery aisle too. No scripting there at all. Peter tells Cynthia that the blog is saying Apollo and Phaedra are getting a divorce. Shouldn’t these two know more about this than a random blogger? Cynthia says that she heard Apollo goes to the strip clubs a lot. Peter says everyone goes to the strip clubs a lot and confesses he went the night before last. Seems he never mentioned this to Cynthia. Peter says that Apollo was locked up for six years, he’s probably just going to get caught up on all the ass oogling he missed. Cynthia and Peter decided to go to a strip club together. That really does happen a lot in Atlanta. I went with my ex a couple of times and I had more fun than he did. The people watching is beyond fun!
Kenya and Walter meet for lunch at a deli. Lots of flashback scenes to Anguilla. Kenya is guilt tripping Walter talking about her past issues of abuse. I could make several comments here, but I’m just going to let that lie. I would like to point out that Kenya is over forty and her eggs are probably not viable anymore anyway. She tells Walter she wants to be engaged in the next six months. I truly think she thought Walter would marry her if she enticed him to. She says she is definitely wife material and Walter laughs and says, at your age if you were wife material… lol. Walter tells Kenya he loves her three times but he can’t be pressured into marriage. He says he loves her, he cares about her, but not enough to marry her. BAM! Walter has to get back to work. Hopefullly that was the break-up scene and we are done with that nonsense.
At Kandi’s new home a pastor is blessing the house with Phaedra and Todd and Kandi’s daughter, Riley. Phaedra says marriage is hard and sometimes she wants to kill Apollo. She’s not a morning person and he won’t shut up in the morning. Phaedra is offering to plan Todd and Kandi’s wedding. Which I think she did back in September go here for the tea. I expect to see it on an upcoming episode.
Porsha and Kordell are in their hot tub talking about Anguilla. Guess what they are talking about? Kenya. *yawn* Porsha glances at the camera a few times. Porsha tells Kordell she hopes she is pregnant with twins. I believe she has a miscarriage on this season. Um, spoiler alert! Sorry.
Cynthia and Peter go to the Clairmont. LOL. I am dying here. Oh and here comes Phaedra and Apollo. This is hysterical. The Clairmont is an Atlanta landmark and though it is a strip club, it’s a tongue in cheek sort of strip club. No pun intended. Phaedra is having a ball tipping the girls. Peter is having fun too. They all make it rain on a um larger, older, stripper. Too funny.
Nene is modeling her money dress for Ebony. If you have not seen the pictures inside that issued of Ebony they are super fabulous. Unlike the cover shot which I hated. We got a brief peek at the photoshoot and Nene was having a ball.
We are at barONE with Miss Lawrence, Derek J, Apollo, Phaedra, Peter, Cynthia, Kandi, Porsha and Kordell. It’s seems like Cynthia is a spokesperson for some alcohol company. Either the editing was bad again or I straight up missed the explanation for this. Suffice it to say, Kenya has now arrived and I’m sure she will grab a mike or stand on a table to make some sort of announcement. Peter, Kordell and Apollo were doing shots. Apollos is talking about his time in jail and not going outside for 16 months. Walter came in alone and makes a beeline for the boys walking past Kenya. The boys send Walter over to speak to Kenya. She’s chilly. In fact, it looks like she may leave but Porsha stops her and asks to talk. Kordell is hovering and Kenya dismisses him. Porsha tries to smooth things over for the sake of filming but she caught Kenya at a really bad time. In her talking head Kenya says she has enough going on and does have time to “play nice with dum-dum.” Honestly, I don’t think either of them are going to be asked to join MENSA anytime soon, but at least Porsha has a modicum of decorum. In the end the two agree to be cordial. Kordell is being a dick to Porsha telling her if she apologizes to Kenya one more time he’s going to have a problem with that.
Apollo is talking about Phaedra a bit with the boys. Apollo basically says Phaedra is type A all the time. Peter, who is in love with Kordell makes a football analogy. Over on the girls sofas, Cyntha flat out asks Phaedra about the blog rumors of their divorce. Phaedra says she laughed about them. Then Apollo is cued to come sit next to her by producers and they play kissy face for the cameras. Then they start straight up sucking face as everyone looks on in horror. Cynthia says her marriage is going to outlast several others.
Previews unfortunately show more of Kenya and Walter. On the good side, we will see Nene and her “glambaby.” And more of Kandi and Todd with Riley.
So all in all a pretty tame episode, don’t you think?
Ok finally getting to watch this episode!! Just had to say, I know they rent alot of stuff, from jewelry to cars. Couldn’t one of them at least get a Range Rover in some color other than white?! They all have em in white this season (and last, if my memory is working properly).
I wanted to come back here to make sure that everyone know that Phaedra used a racist slur, “Becky”s (meaning fat insecure white girls) last Sunday that is worse than anything Kim or anyone else has ever said. Just making sure y’all are ok with that.
I know it’s a racist term the way it was used. Just had to point out that any Becky I’ve ever met was a fat insecure white girl. Like the one I went to high school with who though sex was done through the belly button!! I am dead serious.
*thought
This was the best episode yet. Kandi continues to be one of my faves in the personality department, but I hate how this girl looks on screen. Off screen, she seems to put herself together very well…but on screen she always looks like she just finished her business in the bedroom. Team Kenya when it comes to Porsha. Why does she continue to beat a dead horse? Lastly, Cynthia has her nerves saying that Kordell speaks for Porsha…ummm…exactly like Peter spoke for you the first two seasons. People fail to realize that “white baby-gate” started long before the women arrived in Africa…right in Cynthia and Peter’s closet. That’s probably why Porsha has taken a liking to her because she can totally relate. Apollo would be nothing without Phaedra…yes Kenya and some of these other thirsty chicks can offer you a good time in the bedroom…but not a TV career, several start-up businesses, and exposure like Ms. Phaedra. You better give that woman what she’s paying for…
OK just saw the ATL episode. Laughed my azz off and that’s a lot of azz. LOL. The skrip club…chile too too funny but hey those women were twerking it as best they could, making it clap, etc. Get that money. Get the exposure. You know that club is popping especially since now it has been on tv. The owner is on cloud nine. Pay raise please! Kenya is a smart business woman even if she talks BS. She seemed professional and Apollo just seemed eager to shut his wife down. He has issues. He didn’t have them when Phaedra proposed marriage, a baby and a new career. Now he is not feeling it? Boy please. Drinking with the guys is not a good ideal. Peter and Cordellia were looking at Apollo like he was a steak. Did yall see when after Apollo said jail was hell, Peter licked his lips..I was like WTF? I rewound that ish 5 times and laughed so very hard. Cordellia (Kordell) was all engrosed too. Hmmmmm. I wonder what Miss Lawrence has to say about this. Porsha gets on my nerves and the only reason why she is trying to make up with Kenya now is because she feels like a used fool. Nene had her stir up that fight for drama and the girls still roll with Kenya. She is feeling like a left out dum dum. Should have kept her non-reading book ass mouth shut for the first season. Her blogs are overhyped also and just stupid. I don’t like her and she needs to go. And take her yams with her.
Great recap TT!
Happy New Year to you too!
So glad I’ve found your blog. Each time you post, I can’t wait to read your tea, read your take on said tea and peruse the commenters’ responses. Tamara, it never fails to disappoint. You’ve managed to attract a strange, diverse, witty & infuriating crowd that makes this my new favorite of the few blogs I do read. Thank you.
i’m not zooming throught this mound of shit to say, Thanks DJ for stating the fucking obvious. I would never have know that had you not pointed it out ‘
But hey thanks for trying to educate yourself on my town’s local strip clubs. We really appreciate it considering how you seem so obessed with them and who strips there and what their motivations are. Had I know about this googling expertise of yours I would have asked for an interview. Where do you live again
/
This was one of my most favorite HW eps of all time (top ten for sure). Something about the dancing grannies and Apollo really breaking my heart with his story of crying in the rain…
I just loved it. I really started to understand Apollo and Phaedra too. Even if I think they are feeding the stories of their divorce for hype.
But Walter and Kenya? No thanks. He wasn’t yelling at her, either. And basically, she’s saying that no one can ever be mad at her because she was in an abusive relationship. Doesn’t make sense. Especially since she’s so infuriating.
Ha
Tamara, your blog and your readers comments are far better than the show itself.
This show has become so boring to me. Its the same crap week after week. Plus it has become so scripted.
I totally agree. Every week is a repeat! I know some people like it but there are many who find this season to be just awful.
The preview for next week hints that it will be another repeat episode centering on the same old conversations and situations we have seen all season. Bravo needs to redo the cast for next season.
Cynthia, Nene and Porsha can stay the rest could be excused in my opinion.
Ms. Tamara, who is the other little girl that has been with Kandi and Riley? Is that Todd’s daughter or one of Riley’s playmates?
Karen, I may have to turn your comments to moderated while I get some work done. I don’t have time to read them all at this moment. I’d like to get some blogs up. Just for fun why don’t you count how many comments you have on this post and get back to me.
Please do what you think is best. I’m not sure why I continually get the blame for all that occurs here, but instead of taking you away from your regular activities, I will simply continue to read and not respond going forward. Take care!
Although I suppose it is great to have 142 comments, I can’t believe the same 3 or 4 people are arguing over such stupid shit. Kenya doesn’t have a functioning production company. There are no unions in Georgia we are a right to work state which is why so many shows and films are shot here (among other reasons).
Todd is not a predator.
Y’all are all crazy in the head. If you have over 20 comments on this post you might want to stop for lunch and perhaps a walk around the block. I’m just saying..
And to clarify, I mentioned union wages because Kenya’s production company if it does indeed exist, is in Los Angeles, and not Georgia.
Her “fake” company has a web site, but it doesn’t look very professional.
Haven’t watched yet but I expect that those scenes were all for the show. Phaedra isn’t new to the entertainment industry, it’s what she lives. She knows the best production companies to work with. I’m sure she knows at least some (if not a lot) of the financial side as well.
No one can say for certain who is or who is not a predator. I think the main point that people were trying to make is that a woman with children should be careful and not move any ol’ “Joe” up into the homestead.
No it’s not. They got a great deal they will have less than 2 million in it by the time they are done.
You are ridiculous.
Last night’s episode had me in stitches!! From the strip club to Walter laughing at Kenya’s assertion that she is marriage material!! On a serious note, from my limited psychology studies (minored in it) I have concluded that NeNe & Kenya are the same kind of crazy because of mother abandonment issues. I suffered from this for many years because my mother was absentee and a drug addict but it has to be worse for them because based on their revelations, their mothers abandoned them by their own free will. That’s why both are so attention/fame hungry because they’re looking for the approval that only a mother can provide.
Also, as much as it pains me to admit it, I miss Sheree!! It would have been so interesting to see her interact with Porsha seeing that Cordell was engaged to her best friend Tania that appeared on the show seasons 1&2. I think it would have been drama city!! I also would have loved to see her STILL completing construction on Neverland while Kandi was moving into a new place!! Oh and the drama w/Miss Lawrence!! Bravo jumped the shark with this one!!
Phadera is a Scorpio she probably F’s, the hell out of Apollo.
He did say they were like porn stars in the bedroom.
Don’t let that bs about being a preachers daughter fool you. Phaedra looks like she has her fun, that whole southern manners and miss emily post is all for the show.
See, I like Phaedra’s balls to the walls behavior, and would hang out with her at anytime. And most folks know that Preacher’s daughter’s are usually the one’s who know where all the fun is at!
I would hang out with Phaedra in a New York minute. She looks like good fun.
Sorry, I meant personality. The word was escaping me as I as typing.
Did anyone see the pitcure of Kim Z house over on Reality Tea. It looks huge.
I did. I am a Kim Z fan, and hope she and her family enjoy their new home when it’s finished.
I don’t know where Reality Tea is but saw the pics on another site yesterday. Huge but not my style.
That mouth blow job
was awful yuck
Thanks for that insight, pussywagon!!
Thank for for unbiased reporting.
Oh Hi Tamara thanks for replying I didn’t know there was already a Paula on here so I have changed my user name.Sorry
Holy crap! Kim K and Kanye are expecting. No. Just no.
Ok, why is the Housewives coming on 1 hour earlier than it’s been been? I mean, I live in the CST zone and it’s hard enough to for me to remember that ATL comes on at 8 when it used to come on at 9, now they’re coming on at 7? Who is doing the thinking in the Bravo household?
According to the RHOA page on Facebook the show came on last night at it’s normal time 9/8 so maybe your cable provider is just being wonky.
Nah Karma she is right. The show is changing time slots to an hour earlier from now on.
I saw that during the show last night. I’m going to have to reset my DVR before next week’s show.
If you set it to only DVR the new episode like I have, it will automatically change the time slot along with the show.
Oh Bizzy if yours does that count yourself lucky! Mine never did, had to tell it timeslot along with new or all. Alot of people over on GetGlue missed it because their dvr didn’t show it as new so it didn’t record for them. I don’t have cable/dvr anymore, I pay for seasons of my shows through itunes. Got tired of paying out the wazooo for a million channels when the hubs and I watch maybe a dozen series in a year.
I figured they were adding another new show. They did the same thing to Start Up Silicon Valley, or whatever the show is called. That show moved to 7pm PT, which made me think the show was being cancelled, but I’ve looked on line and apparently it’s not.
One, Porscha may not be as dumb as some may want her to be. One poster commented on her counting the miscarriage in her pregnancies. Great way to catch up.
Boring? No. But great way to break ice at the strip club. The only oddity was Phaedra loudly proclaiming joy when she saw that alma mater tat…eased her way out of something that really isn’t ever up for discussion for her with any castmate aside from Kandi.
Hmmm…blessing the house? Cute. Perhaps if people knew some of the other floating rumors abt Todd and Kandi supposedly already being married and the editing being funny-it may not seem so crazy. Via Kandi from Riley, she didn’t want her momma having sex. Now Todd? Kids are territorial. From Kandi’s custody of A.J.’s kid(s) to this relatiwith kids may understand the side eye.
Oh my comment was screwed…and long. My apologies. “To this relationship with Todd. One with kids may understand the side eye.” What’s slow for a child isn’t the same w/adults but oh well. No lemon face from me. Yes TT, quite tame. Hilarious w/Kenya trying to sleep with a man then trash him and his wife. Look for her at that strip club soon.
Is there a “Two”?
Yeah, I get it too. I think Riley is a great kid, just looking out for her mother as I would hope any child would. They’ve been through a lot together.
I shall require Xanax and a designated driver. TIA. #ItsMyContract!
Xanax?? UM somebody’s gonna end up on the pole. LOL
You’re on Tamara! My birthday is in March. It’s not a milestone except I’ve been here forever and haven’t been. How’s this for a kicker? We just missed Robert Deniro watching the falcons there around Thanksgiving! Yeah, they have a website. Apparently on Saturday nights it’s wall to wall and that’s not my thing, and according to some reviews, the strippers don’t care for the music on Karaoke night so they sit out the dances. We’ll have to strategically plan this.
I’m considering coming out to Atlanta for a natural hair show. I think this club should be added to the itinerary.
If you do, be sure to take lots of pics so Tamara can post them for us all.
Will do!
Most of you guys sound like horrible people to take to a nude beach or a seedy strip bar. I’m just sayin’ I wouldn’t want to hang with y’all in real life. So judgey! Who was it that said the women stripping at Clairmont were being exploited? BWAHAHAHA. Way not to get the joke.
TT when I posted my comment I did not realizze these weren’t real strippers having to do this for their livlihood. There weren’t any other comments on here yet for me to find that out and I must have missed that in the show. Ok so now it doesn’t seem sad it just seems gross as hell. Althoiugh admittedly I could see myself doing this with my fifty eight year old tits but still great ass drunk enoiugh with a group of girlfriends. I would hire a body guard to make sure I didn’t do any such thing.
According to the Yelp reviews I read today, they ARE real strippers who ARE working for a living.
I just saw this in a Yelp review for the Clermont Lounge. “I had heard it described as “The elephant grave yard of strippers” and “Where strippers go to die”. It is a magical place where strippers do not die, but live on in undeath and continue to ply their trade.”
I REALLY like RHOA since “the wig” left (I like that whoever said it). Many ppl say that it’s boring now. I don’t feel that way at all. I genuinely like these women ‘cept one (*cough* Kenya *cough*). I want them all to do well. They r finally good together without the drama n sh*t stirrers (wig n sheman). Porsha is a bit ditzy but its her first season; she’s not used to it yet. I like this show, and tonight was fun. I thought it was funny as he!! Especially grannies with boobs younger than her grandchildren stripping. My hubby n I watched that part n just laughed. I loved it.
Oh and the “business” meeting? First Apollo asking Kenya how long it should be was funny. But not as funny as Kenya pretending to be a genius by introducing the VOD concept. How earthshattering! Her obviously not understanding what a “profit margin” island throwing it randomly into the conversation was only overshadowed by her turning the meeting into a sex discussion. Just look good. Don’t try to pretend to be a business woman.
Ps. Peach Muscato sounds absolutely vile.
mOscato is, by definition vile. It’s a sweet sugary bubble mess of grossness.
Muscat is the type of grape used to produce moscato. Can be spelled either way. And yes it is gross. Not for real wine aficionados…
Oh please if it tastes good and you get a lil buzz I’m all for it. Guess I’m not a wine snob.
Well, I like it, so shoot me.
I think of it as a wino beverage of choice…or maybe that was just my uncle. LOL!
I always remember moscato being mentioned in conjunction with Wino’s…lol. My little sister’s friend loves the stuff, but she would drink paint thinner just so she can get her drank on.
I like moscato and I am not a wino. I do not drink moscato or any other alcohol for the sole purpose of getting drunk. In fact, I rarely drink any alcohol. I know other people who like moscato, and they are not winos either.
I love moscato as well, maybe because it’s sweet. I also thought that it was a dessert wine. Never knew it was for winos. LOL.
Muscat Canelli is heaven in my mouth. It’s dessert wine and not bubbly.
To me that was the funniest shit with their meeting. Kenya wants to talk about being a professional, having their ideas together and not bickering in front of her. Yet the skanky wants to start talking about role playing in the bedroom at what was supposed to be a business meeting. She is just one joke after another.
I made sure to check Amazon.com. The video is available, and it seems Phaedra and Apollo had the good sense to go with a production company that specializes in celebrity exercise video’s. Perhaps Kenya’s time is expensive, but if no one is paying, it’s worthless.
Wanna bet the video Kenya handed over has a nude scene she wants Apollo to see?
She was sure to point out that she was playing a prostitute in the video and said they needed to check it out. Such a skank. We all know Kenya’s production company association was just for storyline. I can’t see anyone that legitimately wants to produce something going to her. If she had indeed had a properly functioning production company she would have come to that meeting prepared with numbers. If you are pitching for a job you should know your numbers and have a good pitch ready. So as for her snarkiness that Phaedra and Apollo were wasting her valuable time and should have been prepared since she is the pro at this stuff. If someone is as versed as she said she is she should have had numbers and more ideas and been able to sit in there and lead them along to what was a viable finished product.
What? How the hell can you estimate a job without knowing the specifications??? What NUMBERS are you talking about. Would you ask a designer to give you an estimate to redecorate your home with no further instruction? Or should she have said between $10,000 and $10,000,000? Cause a 30 minute video could be in that very range. And Apollo, who is supposed to be a fitness expert (he got ceritifacationnings!) asking Kenya how long it should be? And them Paedra and Appolonia arguing whether women would use it to really become fit or just because it was easy and didn’t actually work? And then using the racist “Becky” term? All highly unprofessional. And stupid.
The whole meeting was unprofessional. I don’t think it was outside of the realm of reality that Kenya would have done some research and come to the meeting with some ideas. If she had truly produced other things she would have an idea of what production cost would be. She has to have an idea of what studio time cost, what the crew cost, etc. You can’t really compare a home decorator with a production company. A home decorator has a lot more variables they need to look at. When you use a studio or production team there are standard costs eg. a studio rental will be $200 an hour, the team cost x, the editing cost x or we can buy packaged time and get a set cost. Sorry but Kenya being the “professional” and this being her line of business should have known more and been better prepared. The back and forth banter with Apollo and Phaedra could be expected, they are newbies to this and were sitting down with a “professional” who was supposed to guide them and help them solidify their ideas.
No there are NOT standard costs. It most certainly can be compared with a decorator, which is why I compared it. You do not know what you are talking about and are making up random shit. Move on.
You can move on with yourself. Everything has an industry standard. What you think people just make up prices out of thin air.
And I hope you meant “what do you think” instead of “what you think” or you’re a double maroon.
I’ll gladly accept the mantle of “double maroon” the moment you accept the fact that you are indeed wrong!
Yes! Anyone who owns a production company or any company that provides a service, already knows what the industry standard is, and should have been able to present a list requirements to produce a video of a particular length, and the specific costs involved. This would include staffing needs, and time requirements for shooting. The fact that Kenya came to a meeting with nothing says more about her and her supposed production company, then it does about Phaedra and Apollo. Kenya is supposed to be the expert, and not simply a buddy stopping by.
Omg. Now I have to call you an idiot. You are completely and utterly wrong. There is no industry standard. But you seem to need to keep pushing. And get the last word on. Have at it, Wrongy McRetard.
And you’d be wrong! Someone who is really into the business, knows that there are union wages and how long it takes to film a video of a specific length. That would be considered an industry standard, and something Kenya could easily have based her estimate on when attending this meeting. However, since she probably already knew Phaedra and Apollo would not be working with her, and that her production company is a crock, I suppose there would have been no need to provide an estimate of something that will never happen.
You must be a child that no one liked because you are such a douche as an adult. Amazing how you get on a blog and seem to want to come out of your face with people. Do me a favor and don’t say anything to me. Life is too short to deal with morons like you. Don’t know who raised you but there is absolutely no reason for attacking other posters or talking shit the way you are. These blogs are to poke fun at the housewives and other celebrities, not to attack others. Get a life and have a lovely day. You must live in some backwards hole in the wall if you think that there are no industry standards. Doctors, lawyers, plumbers, electricians, etc. all have a standard pricing depending on the area you live in, the type of service being rendered and the level of experience of the provider. So for you to tell me otherwise I have to think you really are the moron here.
Yes. I’m the child that no one liked. And one if you uses a care bear avatar and the other has “fan” in his nickname. Ick.
And I’m right and you’re wrong. Union has nothing to do with it. You never HAVE to use union talent unless there is a political reason to. And even if the talent is union the difference between scale and celebrity are fucking huge. Stop trying to pretend to know what you’re talking about because you are completely and utterly wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.
Ps: I always hated being liked.
So mOscato is today’s ripple. Makes sense.
That’s exactly correct.
Invite me Barb! Just don’t let me drink Tequila or I will be on the pole! In fact I should probably apply for a job there. Who knew I could get $$$ for saggy boobies!
I was rolling this whole episode! ESPECIALLY the strip club! Between the guys faces, the women engaging the dancers, the DANCERS! I came here to laugh with you guys and everybody is acting a lot more sensitive than they did with the orphans in Africa! I plan to go there on my next milestone birthday, but only with people I trust so I don’t join them.
Apollo is seeming more shady. I hope this baby is out of love and not her tightening the leash. Yeah, I said it. Kenya hate, Porsha eyeroll, and lovin the other girls. Maybe they should’ve gotten rid of Kim a long time ago.
I don’t miss her. Oddly, Nene really has no storyline beyond criticizing everyone in talking heads. I guess we more of her next week with her grandbaby.
I gotta tell ya’. I’d love to go to that club. It looks like it’s be a lot of fun!
You should go. Right now. And stay forever. ::prays they don’t have wifi::
Don’t worry, hon. There’s probably a Starbucks nearby!
I’m with you BarbinGa. I laughed so hard through this whole episode I was in tears. Peter standing up to dance during the strip show was icing on the cake!
Totally agree about Apollo being shady. Interesting that he opened up about his time in prison. I’ll bet Phaedra cringes every time she sees that scene.
If you don’t know how many bedrooms you have, your house is TOO DAMN BIG.
There is something I really like about Porsha. No, she likely never would have attended MIT, but she’s got a good heart, and I’ll take that over a cast member who continually toots her own horn as if she is Beyonce….O.K. that tease for the next episode had me ROLLIN’…when in fact, most people have never heard of her.
Perhaps, just perhaps, some of those bedrooms are used as offices or have been converted for other uses, so she had to think about what is now a bedroom as opposed to what was a bedroom when she and her husband moved in. Sorry. I’m just tryin’ to throw the woman a life line here.
I didn’t think it was a big deal that she didn’t know how many bedrooms were in that house. The place is huge and as you said rooms might have been re-purposed. We also forgot to consider if the house was previously Cordell’s and she moved in after they married. I could see not knowing how many rooms/bedrooms there were if that were the case.
I’ll bet that Lisa Vanderpump knows how many bedrooms her house has.
Don’t watch any franchise other than NJ and Atl so I can’t comment if Lisa V knows how many rooms she has.
LOL DJ! Lisa recently moved but you know she knew how many bedrooms, bathrooms and any other room there was in the old house and in the new. Love her!
A bedroom is a room with a BED in it.
Ummm….I’ll keep that in mind.
Not true. In a real estate sense they are considered bedrooms even if repurposed.
There is nothing in the coding that would cause the text to be downshifted like it is at the top of this post. NOTHING. I got behind on blogging trying to fix it and I just can’t and it is now bothering the fuck out of me. Stupid WordPress!
That is all.
Lighten up Francis! Clermont is sort of a strip club parody. No one takes it seriously and no elderly women are working there to support themselves.
If they aren’t doing it for money, they must be exhibitionists.
aaaaaaah come on red… I thought Phaedras comment was so sweet. She complimented the older, overweight women giving it up and stripping. Saying how lovely it was to see women celebrating their bodies. paraphrased that but it ‘s close I believe. Me I felt sad for them. To be over forty and having to strip for a living especially when your looks and body are ancient history was sad. I also was embarrassed and humiliated for them. I would have hated that place! This show has gotten really boring.
Although I thought it was kinda sad to see women of their age and physical attributes stripping, I sure did notice that Peter was more into it then he was letting on when he spoke to her. I got the impression he’s been there before. I can see the tongue in cheek aspect to this that Tamara mentioned. That along with the fact that the shots they ordered were served in dixie cups, made the scene kinda fun.
The men were way more interesting than the women this week. Kordell saying Leter is so black he’s blurple cracked me up. Peter saying he might go to a strip club every six months and then saying he went the day before yesterday made me guffaw. Loud. Apollo is one of those people who tries to sound smart by misusing big words. What the hell were all those scars on Kordell? I thought it was some fraternity branding mess, but it was all over on his shoulders and did not exactly seem decorative. I wonder if he’s going to punish Porsha when he sees the film and realizes how many times she lied to him.
Yeah Apollo talks real fast like a hustler..and he pronounced jovial as “jewvial”, so ITA about big words.
Remember that weird statement he made (something about time), and Cynthia said, ‘What does that even mean?” It didn’t make any sense.
Oh my I missed the lying by Porsha! How in the world did I miss that? Please share. Thanks.
I was wondering about those scars too. Football injuries maybe? There were some on his chest too.
I missed Porsha lying. Oh wait no I didn’t she did give a strange interpretation of what happened with Kenya in Anguilla. Which was odd because Kordell seems to want her to go in on Kenya and she did.
I missed the scarring. I’ll have to check. I’m um… familiar with black frat branding. One time In college I’m running my hand over… his chest and DAYUM fresh brand. Not usually on shoulders… I’m just sayin..
I’m thinking that they could be keloid scars from injuries. I just found a picture of a guy with them all over his chest and shoulders, and they look just like the ones on Kordell.
Yeah. She swore that Kenya said the tramp stamp thing first and editing rolled tape showing that’s not how it started. And I watched a lot of back episodes today. She lies a lot. Her account of the event where she used the wrong title was incorrect as recounted in Antigua. She most certainly extended the invitation to Kenya to come as an honored guest. And then she actually introduced her. To say she was just supposed to be another guest like all the rest was bullshit. Starting with her opening line where she mispronounces “picture” as “pitcher”, Bravo has subtly shown how stupid she is. The thing about the yam eaters in Africa? Dear god. No, they aren’t inbred or anything because there are two different families in the village. I’m pretty sure Porsha’s mother ate a lot of yams and married a first cousin. Kidding. But sometimes I do get bitter that someone that clueless is so successful. Sorry.
If Porsha’s mother ate a lot of yams, shouldn’t she have a twin?
um picture and pitcher are pronounced exactly the same way. WTF? No yankees allowed here! I put up with a lot of your stupidity but this is just wrong. Also I don’t think she ever told Kenya she was an “honored guest” it was a CHARITY EVENT for CHARITY. It’s all about the children with no legs, you bitch! Oh wait. Wrong RH. I forget what it was for. The hungry and the homeless probably. Because you can be hongry with being homeless. I know I’m hongry. Who has Porsha’s number. I need to call and ‘splain to her that she doesn’t need 7 (or eight) bedrooms for twins. I’m sure she still has a room open for me.
I was reading restaurant reviews on Yelp, and someone said that they had a “picture” of beer.
This nesting makes shit too skinny on my phone! Go back and watch the first porsha/Kenya meeting. The invitation was extended as and honor due to her miss usmerica title. And she also said women only and them her brain damaged husband showed up to give her am ugly purse for her birfday in the middle of it all. Who does that??? All about the chirruns indeed.
Since you are from the land if pitcher perfect lives, was her grandfather a shady televangelist or MLK’s right hand man or both? I’ve heard different stories.
Let’s just say if he were my granddaddy, I would not bring it up at the country club.
I hope Porsha doesn’t have a mc this season. She had one right before filming according to one of her first scenes.
oh well, maybe that was it. I knew she had one, and I didn’t remember her really talking about it. I hope she gets knocked up soon. I like her, despite her intellectual challenges. She seems like a decent person.
Yes. I was thrown off when she whined that she did not want to have five pregnancies to get four kids. Till I realized she was including her miscarriage. Not today.
Don’t be so uptight…That kiss was ohhhhh soft porn..lol
It was disgusting. I thought I was going to lose my dinner,
I thought it was pretty hilarious, given that Apollo was so obviously intoxicated, and even Porsha tuned into.
I didn’t need to see their tongues doing the slip ‘n slide!!
Porsha “turned into” what?
Oops. I misread tuned as turned. Sorry.
Sorry, I meant to say that it was something even Porsha tuned into. She said something to Kandi when the kissing began. As I recall she said “tequila”? and Kandi said, “yeah, tequila”. LOL!
And don’t kids say the darnedest things? (Riley’s comment about Todd moving in after a month)
Yes, it is pretty crazy. I can’t say that if I was dating that my child would know the person before I am ready so perhaps Riley just met him before he moved in but who knows? Kanye shrug….LOL
I know that the chile is a little to grown for her own good. In my day we would of been knocked out for that comment. Kandi trying to keep a man alive long enough to get to the altar…lol. That preacher is pushing the metrosexual envelope. Like he didnt get paid to “bless” the house. Seems hypocritical when they are defiling the bed… kind of defeats the purpose
Yeah, but this isn’t back in the day. In this day and age there are far too many women bringing men into their homes they barely know who end up harming their children. Riley is smart to keep her guard up. She and her mother have been on their own for a long time. Riley got close to the last guy and his children, and the relationship ended badly before his life was taken. She’ll come around when her mother is more comfortable in the relationship herself. Riley is a great kid, and Kandi has a lot to be proud of.
As to Kandi “defiling the bed”, even the preacher knows times have changed. He can either spend his time going off on something that isn’t going to change, or instead counsel them when and if they ask for it.
I am glad that Riley spoke her mind. It’s also a good thing that Kandi took it for what it was. Riley is not a baby and she has her right to state if she thought things moved too fast as long as she did it respectfully.
A word of caution, predators have to depend on children keeping their mouths shut and stay in their place so as to violate them. Single mothers like Kandi, Kim and Cynthia are a sexual predators dream.Think of what could happen when you have to leave that man at home alone with your kid. When I heard Riley say that, my heart dropped. Ain’t no lovin(sex) that good to move a stranger into the home where the child should feel safe. Kandi should have just conitued to pay Todds’ rent at his own place until they at least got engaged. Kandi is more pathetic than Kenya is this case. With that being said, Kandi seems happy but she is not a good judge of character regarding personal relationships. Todd seems like a nice guy on the outside but I’m still uneasy about him. Sorry about the rant.
As a mother of 3 I totally agree with you. I think if she did move him in after 30 days that is just way too soon. I get that she wants to have a family and more babies but that is way too fast. When you have children you need to do what is in their best interest first. She should have continued to keep separate places and see him until her daughter was more comfortable with the situation. Granted you just never know with someone or what kind of weirdness they can hide but I think you need to put some time in before involving anyone in a situation with your child/children.
Agreed.
“Kandi should have just conitued to pay Todds’ rent at his own place until they at least got engaged.” Why should Kandi have paid Todd’s rent?? Let him pay his own damn rent!
As I recall, Tod was working on the production staff when they met. I’m thinking he has his own money, and can therefore pay his own rent.
Yes, I will never understand why people feel that children should now their place, when they have voices and often see things the adults miss, especially those who think they should be seen and not heard.
Kenya is a sad sad woman. She must only look good on SD TV because her face looks old and haggard in HD. Maybe I’m getting the shallow Hal thing going on because there isn’t anything pretty or beautiful about Kenya.
I’m tired of Phaedra. Her middle name should be Extra. She’s always going to great lengths to convey a certain image. She’s just as bad as Kenya with the pretending.
Kordell was drunk…I like the guys together. This adds a new dynamic. It’s less division since the wig left.
Cynthia…I love her. I think she’s my fav on RHOA now.
I watched the episode tonight and I tell you I like Porsha because she is soft spoken for the most part but honestly my mother used to say that you can fool people if you keep your mouth shut then no one would know the foolishness that comes out of your mouth. I think Porsha should follow this…having to count the rooms in the house? Really??? She is pretty just be quiet and stay pretty. LOL I still like her though. Kenya story is really giving me a headache as everyone knows the truth. Walter’s uniform shirt always makes me laugh….free advertisement! LOL Kenya is tripping and Walter’s comment was dead on but I guess at that point he was not really caring and was sick of the antics because I laughed but if in her position I would be offended. LOL Happy for NeNe she made that cover and yes it does seem like there is trouble in the Apollo and Phaedra camp however what marriage doesn’t have these little issues? Many do but the problem is that their’s are on display. Perhaps they don’t mind as they are securing their place on RHOA …I don’t know. Kandi does seem pretty happy and Peter is actually more relaxed to see now. Cordell is a little strong in talking to his wife so I wonder if they are securing his place or he is really just tired of it…..I can’t really with these “reality” shows anymore….but yet I can’t turn away!
Cordell knows his wife better then anyone else, and knows how much time she has spent in trying to get Kenya to like her. Although he may have sounded like a dick, I think he told her what she needed to be told. Continuing to attempt to talk to Kenya is giving Kenya the upper hand, and Kenya is fully aware of it and that’s why she behaves the way she does. Take the power away from Kenya, and she’s just an older woman attempting to force a man into marriage that doesn’t want her. Porsha should sit back and enjoy the knowledge that Kenya hates her because she never had the opportunity to be her.
I didn’t agree with Cynthia when she was saying that Cordell was being a bit too controlling when he was trying to tell Porsha to end the conversation. I get what he was doing. He was tired of hearing her talk about it and seeing her trying to clear the air. We women can go on about stuff when we are pissed so I can only imagine how much she was running off at the mouth about the drama with Kenya. He was right, she didn’t owe Kenya a thing and needed to let it go so she was the one in control and not Kenya.
Agreed. I like Porsha’s husband. Too bad Walter doesn’t get to spend the time with the men he obviously would like to. LOL!
My guess is Walter is hanging with the guys behind Kenya’s back. They guys seem to enjoy each others company.
Yeah, while I don’t understand why he allowed himself to be a part of this charade, he does seem like an all around good guy.
Walter played it smart because at no point can someone look at him and say he lied. Last night he told her he loved her, not once did he say he was “in” love with her. Very smart man. At the end of this he comes off looking like a good honest man, no matter what Kenya wants to put out there.
Yeah, and she makes we women over 40 look awfully desperate. Now I’m waiting for the episode when Kenya says she has feelings for Apollo. That should be a hoot!
Porsha has been trying to get Kenya to like her? Lol. Examples please.
Why else would she continually apologize? She sure ain’t doing it to get her to DISlike her!
She never apologized. Kenya apologized. And when nene goaded “what happened between you to” porsha launched into a bunch of bullshit lies that would have pissed anyone off, instead of going with the flow of the conversation which was, we are past all that. She has an uncontrollable need to convince everyone to “side” with her and brings Kenya up in every conversation. She is either obsessed or sees it as her best chance for a relevant storyline.
Yes, yes it’s all about relevancy. I get that, but Porsha too attempted to apologize both when things blew up the evening when we found out that Kenya is somehow “Gone with the Wind fabulous”, when Kenya gave her backhanded apology driven by Nene, and this last time. Thanks to Porsha’s husband, I trust this will indeed be the last time.
Those strippers were sad. On one hand it is empowering to see/know that women are confident enough no matter age/body size and type to strip but yeeesh. In the other hand I am sad for them if this is what they have to do at that point in their life to get by.
Apollo and Phaedra need to leave that face sucking in the privacy of their home. Kenya is very lucky. Had that have been me and she wanted to start talking about role playing and my sex life she would have gotten her ass whooped. She needs to learn boundaries and to not flirt with Apollo. She should not be treading where she did especially after being put in her place in Anguilla.
Yes, I do agree with you. I do think that Phaedra is watching how she does things because she only goes a little out of hand just enough to not make herself looked crazy. She is very secretive and still seem to want to have some type of privacy. I cannot say that I blame her however, she is on a show that supposedly tells all. She looks uncomfortable with discussing any of those intimate things on tv. I hope she has this figured out as it looks like its about to be crazy but I saw your post about her pregnancy and so I hope they figured it out before that took place or perhaps they were making up and that happened….LOL Tee hee….oh and I did catch Phaedra’s comment about thinking she might be pregnant or something when they were in Anguilla at the table.
Sorry but these shows hardly tell all. They tell what production wants us to see/know.
Phaedra is like her husband, in that she speaks when she feels like speaking. She talked about her marriage in front of Kandi and the pastor, while her husband chose to speak in front of the guys. Between the two of them, Apollo got the best advice since Kandi just looked shell shocked.
Phaedra isn’t stupid. She spoke in front of Kandi and Todd because they are actual friends outside of the show. She is smart to keep it within a confined circle of her “real” friends. Why speak about your business so it can just become gossip for the other chicks on the show.
Yes! Anyone who owns a production company or any company that provides a service, already knows what the industry standard is, and should have been able to present a list requirements to produce a video of a particular length, and the specific costs involved. This would include staffing needs, and time requirements for shooting. The fact that Kenya came to a meeting with nothing says more about her and her supposed production company, then it does about Phaedra and Apollo. Kenya is supposed to be the expert, and not simply a buddy stopping by.
O.K. that post ended up in the wrong place.
Doesn’t matter WHERE you put it, it’s ignorant and WRONG WRONG WRONG. You can have a video shot at a local tv station and use your nephew as talent and your uncle as director in Des Moines OR you can get Spike Fucking Kee to direct a video using Beyonce as talent in NYC. As I said $10,000 vs $10,000,000.
And both would be an estimate, based on industry standards. You might not like the term, but it is what it is.
And p to the fucking s: if they DID discuss pricing it certainly would NEVER be aired. Phaedra is not stupid enough to let the masses know what she might be paying. So, you have no idea whether Kenya presented estimates or not.
And Phaedra also does not act very well when she knows she is faking, as evidenced by the completely phony courtroom scene with Sheree. Someone can present a price list or even discuss how much something may cost, without Phaedra specifically stating she is going to pay it. Come now. Surely you would know that?
Dear god. You are the industry standard got stupidity. And you never seem to shut up.
Well then, that apparently makes two of us. Welcome to the team!
Tamara do you think this episode was boring??? And what;s with Kenya and these abuse allegations? Sounds a little bit untruthful to me.Kenya isn’t letting anyone beat her up
Plus did you hear about sheree
Are you a new Paula or the regular Paula who usually only posts how lovely everyone is? (I’m serious) Because I don’t think Pollyanna Paula would have made that post.
That said, I do not make judgements about anyone who claims to have been abused. I’d rather believe a 100 people bullshitting for attention than to disbelieve one who is telling the truth. Just my personal decision.
From what I’ve seen of her this season, the abuse happened as a child. That I can see. It could happen to anyone.
The strippers were disgusting and that kiss with Apollo and Phaedra makes me feel icky. What a gross episode.
I’m with you on that.
Knowing Phaedra is pregnant now, she drinks water out of wine glasses in every scene. Kandi does it too, but I know she doesn’t like to drink.
Will have to agree the strippers were gross and the kiss with Apollo and Phaedra truly unnecessary. Yuk!! Ms Kenya needs to go the the nutt farm and leave Walter’s butt alone stop with the desparate Sh..t! Apollo is a little full of himself hence the scene in the strip club. I think Porscha is cute, however it would help for her to read a book or two… or … three… Lolll
The older strippers really made me sad, so I’m glad to read that it was supposed to be funny.
The old “strippers” were just old ladies having a good time. It’s a very dive bar type place where you pick a song on the juke box (seriously) and then strip if you want to! There is a woman there who crushes beer cans between her boobs. Sad she wasn’t there that night. It’s all in good fun.
According to the Yelp reviews I read, they are real strippers who work there for the money, not just women who feel like getting up and stripping for fun, and they are the only ones who are allowed to touch the juke box. Customers cannot “pick a song” and then “strip if they want to”.
Me too on the older ladies! Glad to know they are at least ok with being exploited
I didn’t see any exploitation. When a woman is doing something by choice, it is not exploitation.
Bravo is exploiting them by filming that for us all to see and laugh and say it’s gross, etc. I just said they were OK with it. I felt bad for them thinking they were being filmed and shown for us to laugh at, but if that is the premise of the club, then sounds like they welcome that kind of thing!
