It’s always interesting to me who Bravo sends to hype the new housewives seasons. Currently, Phaedra Parks and Porsha Stewart have been summoned by the powers that be at Bravo to slap on a smile and get their donkey butts on a NYC promotional tour. These appearances are not optional for whoever is chosen, it’s part of their contract. The shows don’t pay the guests because it’s essentially free advertising for Bravo. So when you are summoned you must go with whoever they decide to send with you. You also are not allowed to actually answer the questions you are asked. Interviews can be kind of awkward. Especially if you are partnered in interviews with someone you don’t like.
The two new “real housewives of Atlanta” came into the sorority in with guns blazing. While Kenya is going to immediately show her behind, it will be some time before we discover that Porsha isn’t going to be BFFs with any of the girls either. Neither will the two new girls get along. When will newbie housewives learn that it’s important to at least try to make some in roads with the established cast? The answer is, not this season of RHOA.
Phaedra and Porsha were on VH1 this morning and the animosity was the most interesting part of the show. They both plastered on fake smiles and gave rehearsed answers but Phaedra in particular was subtly insulting Porsha whenever she could. From some of the trailers that I think y’all have seen there is a scene where Phaedra tells Porsha that she thinks she is bipolar and she has a drinking problem. Perhaps Porsha tried to befriend Phaedra during filming, but clearly she was unsuccessful.
On VH1 this morning the host’s brings up Porsha’s alcohol consumption right away, As Porsha tries to give the Ramona Singer scripted response, Phaedra is making mmmmhmmmm noises and give a side eye look to the host. So the hosts prompts her to speak her mind. Phaedra says she rarely drinks, but then she leans over and literally pets Porsha while saying, “Some of us loooove to indulge in that devil water.” MEEEOW! Phaedra says she and Apollo are fine and just celebrated their anniversary. She threw a bit of shade on Kenya for going after her man. But the biggest dig came when Porsha gives some background on herself that included being an “up and coming singer.” Phaedra looks at the host and says, “She’s Kim Zolciak dipped in chocolate.” ZING!
Anderson Cooper’s co-host today is an actual real housewife of Atlanta, Nancy Grace. Before we even get started, can we talk about her hair? Dear Lord, Nancy. I just don’t even know where to begin with that mess. Can we just get to Phaedra and Porsha because these sad hurricane stories are just too much. No,no we can’t. First we have Glitzy the pig from Honey Boo Boo. I am not making this up.
Okay here we go with the ridiculous dog funeral on the promo and we start with the ridiculous funeral storyline. Then we go from bad to worse as the conversation moves on to Phaedra’s new exercise video with Apollo and Phaedra explains what a donkey booty is to Nancy Grace. Anderson asks Porsha how she likes being a new housewife (she loves it) and if any weave got pulled this season (Porsha says no) then Phaedra interrupts to say “a lot of people got the shock of their lives with my new stun gun” and Nancy calls her out on plugging all her merchandise. Anderson asks if Nene and Kim will make up this season and we get the standard “you’ll just have to watch.” And that’s a wrap.
I can’t wait to find out what went wrong between these two but I think it will be several episodes before we find out.
Ok Tamara, when are you going to give us your opinion on Kenya? We’re waiting with baited breathe (sounds like we ate tuna for lunch, which sounds gross lol). 😀
baited breath? gurl plz…
You sure do like to be a bitch to everyone. Do you spend all day judging people on the Internet or is it a part time thing for you?
Oh noes! It’s the lamoid internet ass who has nothing better to do than worry about other people’s spelling mistakes.
For the record, “gurl” just proves how lame you are.

No I don’t spend all day judging. That’s your job. 🙂
That’s because the word is ‘bated’ lol. I give you some Kenya tea either tomorrow or Sunday afternoon. 🙂 I find it odd that RHOA is using the best scenes in previews except for one.
Bated huh? Guess I spent too many years in a redneck family 😛
Last year they did similar with BH but I guessed at that time it was because they had to reedit the entire season. This year I’m not watching any previews, figure I’ll see it when I see it. I hate to spoil it for myself especially if those ARE the best scenes.
Yes, I was wondering the same thing. You would think that they would hold it and make people come watch!! It seems when RHOA is on, it lasts a long time, but it takes forever to return!!!
Here is a link to the VH1 interview

You two look very good and Phedra love your style girl, I have notice you in action, go on lady, best wishes for you in your future endeavors lady.
Ummm…. Phaedra didn’t call Porsha bipolar. It was Kenya. This is why you can’t believe these blogs….smh
