So way back last summer I ran across these pictures of Kim and Cynthia leaving the Brookwood Grill with full camera crew. I could not imagine why those two were eating lunch alone in front of the cameras. I mean really, what could Kim and Cynthia have to talk about. Ah, those were the days, back before I looked into the real story of Bravo behind the scenes shenanigans. Who would have guessed that Kim would be A HOUSEWIFE doing HOUSEWIFE things, albeit with an army of people to keep her from actually doing anything, but still her storyline was new home, new husband, new baby (not in that order of course). Leave it to Bravo to decide on season four to manufacture a racial issue between Kim and the girls after three and a half seasons of showing Kim spending all her time surrounded by black people. So for what must be the fifth episode, Kim’s storyline continues to be the great race debate of 2012. You could tell they were both over the whole thing, but the script is the script so hey had a cocktail and forged ahead. Was it just me or were these two dressed for different places? Cynthia was fine for lunch at Brookwood Grill but where was Kim going?
We had yet another graphic infomercial for Kandi’s new sex toy line. Did you know Kandi had a sex toy line? Haven’t we seen this eleventy billion times already? Do we really need to hear Kandi talking about her clit AGAIN? I think not. I’ve heard less graphic discussions at sex clubs. Allegedly. Phaedra continued her storyline advertising funerals for Willie Watkins. Does anyone believe this? Anyone? Is Phaedra getting free funerals for her family out of all this free advertising? What is the real story there?
Sheree was not even on the show. Since the housewives shows normally end with the vacation it seems like these shows were all thrown together after the fact. It’s almost like they knew then that Sheree would not be returning.
And then there was Nene. I have to say I like Andre better than most of the gays Bravo puts on this show. But bless his heart he is playing a hard role. Did you see how big his white shoes were? ReDickulous proportions, I’m just saying. Nene is shown flying out to meet with her new boyfriend Ryan Murphy to audition for Glee. Remember when I broke the story and most people didn’t believe it? Well we were all reminded of why it seemed so unlikely. Also remember when I told you guys that Nene was reshooting her talking heads in February? Now we see that was to update people on the whole Glee thing and perhaps close our her storyline? It sure looks like they are going to end the season with Nene saying she is done with Bravo and off to LA. This may have been residual effects from when her spinoff about moving on without Gregg was a go. Who knows. Speaking of LA, that Steve Harvey and Keisha Knight-Pulliam thing was so staged it was hilarious. First you have Nene and Andre eating dinner at the bar (?) and then there is this processional of Atlanta people in LA who just all happen to be at the same place filing past her like she’s part of a bridal party.
Is it me or does it seem like both Sheree and Nene seem to be having their storylines closed in a final way while Cynthia is lunching with Kim and preparing to move over to one team with the rest of the smalls? I mean there was no Marlo, no Sheree and what is being edited as a final ending for Nene. Next season may just be Kim, Phaedra, Kandi, Cynthia and Toya. Thoughts?
i think you have it wrong that he dates NENE (Ryan) he is GAY, please verify that!
Never thought I would say it, but I'm just sick of RHOA – I think the season was too long, they didn't need Marlo and they made a BIG mistake allowing Kim and Nene to not interact.I think next season should be Nene (even though I don't like her) but ONLY IF SHE INTERACTS with the cast, Phaedra, Kandi…and fire the rest of them and get new blood. **MAYBE KIM** but her too – only if she interacts with the cast. They shouldn't get to pick and choose who they will film with.And BRAVO needs to get out its own way and stop scripting – they make it worse.
Tamara, I think you are reaching here with the Nene storyline ending. Miss Andy Cohen knows that Nene is the cash cow of the RHOA and he won't jeopardize the franchise by getting rid of her. Phakedra can stay, Kandi I really don't see what her story line is anymore, Kim is boring as hell and feels all brand new, Shebroke is a mfkcn non factor, Cynthia is a miss, Marlon is exciting cos she brings drama. Toya would be a mishit because she is too young and too boring heck she could carry a show by herself without Tiny and all reality stars are made to sign confidentiality agreements that they wont star on another network for 2 years and it hasn't been quite 2 yrs since she was on BET/VH1/MTV family. Bring in Nene, Marlon, Phakedra and then recast 3 new housewives to replace Kandi, Kim, shebroke. If you watched WWHL, you would have noticed that Miss Andy asked Phakedra which one of the talls she would bring over to the smalls and she said Nene (to my surprise) so the Neenster ain't going nowhere!
After listening to Kroy's badly rehearsed proposal(where were the cue cards?), I am more convinced than ever that Bravo made Kroy an offer he couldn't refuse.Nene came off as a total hick sitting in that bar waiting to be recognized. By anybody. Her attempts at playing the ingenue actress trying to make it big in Hollywood are just plain silly. Finally, nothing will make me believe that Sheree likes Kim. I don't know what her game is, but then I never do with Sheree.
*Not Kroy's "proposal," Kroy's talk with Kim's pervy dad.
Bravo better figure out some way to save this show because it's sinking fast. Hell maybe they just need to replace everyone and start all over. I know I miss the days when this was my MUST SEE program. Now I can't tell you the last time I actually caught a full episode. It's become so boring.
Yes, Tamara, Ryan is gay so is not dating Nene. What's with all the hate on Nene these days. At some point everybody decided to jump on the "I hate/can't stand the Nene or the Moose or other deragatory name everyone seems to come up with to describe Nene. Give a girl a break she has taken her 15 mins of fame and parlayed into an acting gig. For however long they'll have her so lay off Nene.
I read the first comment about Ryan being gay and for some reason thought you guys were saying I said Nene was dating Andre. I was confused but blamed it on reading comprehension. I FINALLY see you took my whole Nene dating RYAN comment literally. I thought we all knew that Nene is married to Gregg and Ryan is gay. I've referred to Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen and Reza Farahan all as my boyfriend here. I think perhaps I should point out that they are all gay and not really my boyfriend. I thought certain things were obvious. I guesss not. 🙂
Lemme break it down.Nene is a Horse…Sheree is man.Kim looks 50.Cynthia could be fab if she lost 40lbs.Apollo is gay…look at Paedra.Candy's fashion is autrocious.Marlo is homely and crazy.Peter is broke.This blog is bogus.Cheers!
If that's all going to be left then there is no reason to watxh RHOA
I'm also beginning to suspect that the only reason Kim can't technically be called a racist is because she has no clue what the word means. I think she truly believes she's superior to ALL people, regardless of color, but maybe just a little bit more so with black people. Just a hunch.
@Tamara, This is your boo @6ft2andTatted but the scene with Nene at the bar was after the BET Awards which everyone that was in that scene attendant and Steve Harvey even spoke about Nene advice on his show that following Monday. Steve & Keshia are all Nene fans so that wasn't staging BUT that Kroy's conversation with Kim's "to catch a predator" looking father was. Love ya, Tatted
Yes dear, but Nene knew she was taping as did Steve and Keisha. They had them lined up like ducklings to waddle out and hit their mark. 🙂
If Nene and Sheree leave the show, it will be so boring. Kim was so boring this season. Yawn. Kandi is a nice person, very talented, and there is a PLACE for her on the show (every show has that ONE nice Housewife.) Phaedra is funny, her talking heads are the BOMB, but she doesn't add much in terms of conflict. Toya, I heard was very boring in her former reality show.Cynthis is good to look at, but is so boring…So basically in the next season if Nene and Sheree leave, the show will be 3 friends, Kandi, Phaedra, and Toya… Kim bossing her staff around in her home and talking about Kroy's ass… AND Cynthia doing whatever she is doing… Sounds real exciting.. NOT
RHOA is so boring I havn't watch it since Shehe and Marlo blow up. Nene is still my favorite, no matter what Tamara say's about her.
NeNe is the show!She seems to be the only one entertaining!Phaedra has one liners but thats not enough to carry a show!My opinion they can get rid of Sheree,Kim,Kand! I also think the show is boring now because 1.they tried to make Phaedra the star which NeNe still is 2.the other season's were so funny & dramafilled & this season wasn't!the best seasons to me were seasons 1 & 2
I think they'll all end up staying at least one more season.
For someone who doesn't like the show you often complain A LOT Tamara. If it wasn't for rhoa posts I wouldn't even come to this site so stop complaining and thank them!
Wait remind me why I am supposed to be happy you are here again? Why do annoying people always think everyone is happy to see them?
You hit the nail on the head! Loved nene when she was happy, down to earth, open and honest. Now shes bitter, stick up, materialistic and fake. It's sad. Used to love her. The manufactured drama needs to stop. Maybe some of the other shows need scripts bc their naturally boring but not the case on rhoa.
RHOA would be nothing w/o Ms. Nene. She is the most genuine 1. Phaedra tries 2 hard 2 come off as the southern belle, Sheree is 2 manly & abrasive, Kim's storyline is beyond boring & stale, Cynthia reminds me the brainless scarecrow 4rm the Wizard of Oz (get a backbone already), & Marlo is psychotic! Ps. Kim comes across as ur run of the mill undercover racist. U kno the type tht try 2 excuse their racist undertones by saying, 'I'm not a racist, I have black friends!' Girl knock it off!
Season 4 has been a rollarcoaster for all the ladies Let's be honest. Drama will forever be indebted into these ladies but it has gotten to the point where all the ladies can't seem to be in the same room together. This Vs war has to end and the hating of Nene has got to stop Season 5 is going to be a very bumpy ride
