I can’t believe how much of the premiere Bravo is showing online. I really think y’all have seen pretty much everything. I’m shocked you’ve seen both of Nene’s scenes. I was sure they would save the Tyler Perry phone call moment for the show. You’ve seen one of Kandi’s scenes setting up her storyline with Todd. You’ve seen Kim’s eviction crisis scene. Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think you’ve seen either of Phaedra’s scenes which is weird because she is on the promo tour with Porsha who has no scenes in the opening episode (she was mysteriously added in after filming began). The scenes they are showing on the promo tour with Phaedra and Porsha are from later in the season. That leaves us with Cynthia and Kenya’s scenes. Let’s get to those.
Both Cynthia and Kenya have scenes with their men. In Cynthia’s case she has two men for her scene, Peter and Leon. Leon is apparently visiting and staying in the house with Cynthia, Peter and Leon and Cynthia’s daughter, Noelle. That was an awkward sentence to type and the scene itself was just as awkward. Leon and Peter seem to get along better than Peter and Cynthia. I don’t want to spoil the few scenes you have left to see, so I’ll just say the conversation is about homeschooling.
I need to go off topic here a bit to talk about the RHOA and their problems with their school-aged kids. The best thing about Kim running her mouth and getting herself evicted and sent back to her old condo is Brielle getting back into her old school district. While both schools are pretty decent Brielle was being bullied in school while living in the Roswell house. She seems much happier back in her old school with her old Johns Creek crew. So she’s fine. But Nene and Cynthia both yanked their kids out to “homeschool” them. Nene’s youngest, Brentt is with her flying back and forth from Atlanta to L.A. all the time. I assume Nene has him in some sort of online homeschool program. He’s missing “the high school experience” in favor of hanging out on the set of The New Normal with both his parents. While I am off topic can I just say once again Gregg and Nene NEVER SEPARATED. My huge pet peeve is the “getting back together” storyline. Sure they had some issues and got a legal divorce but throughout the whole thing, they never really broke up and are currently joined at the hip. So this whole Gregg came back for the money is a load of bullshit. Back to the homeschool stuff, Cynthia yanked Noelle out of school for her 8th grade year. Cynthia lives in a not so great school district so if she was in public school I could see that being a decent idea depending on what program she placed her in. Now it is time for highschool and her scene with her two men is about that. If she sends her to high school she needs to be in private school. Or she needs to move to Sheree’s school district. Sheree’s kids are in a great public charter school.
Kenya also has a scene with her man. Oh wait! I just realized Kenya has THREE SCENES so obviously her thug routine is playing well with Bravo. Her man is a seemingly nice regular Joe who is wearing a South Dekalb Towing workshirt. Kenya apparently wants to get married and have babies ASAP. So she has that in common with Kandi. Maybe those two can get along? Nah, no one is going to get along with Kenya, not even Kandi who can put up with anything. *cough* Kim *cough* So anyway, we meet Kenya’s man who lives with her.
Let me explain something about Kenya to y’all. She is NOT A HOUSEWIFE and she is NOT FROM ATLANTA and DIDN’T LIVE HERE until the show started filming. She’s some bullshit woman from Detroit who moved here after being cast. Also, my sources say, she was Nene’s suggestion to Bravo but their relationship went south almost immediately when filming began. Nene hates her now. Keep this in mind as she talks about her 7,000 square foot home. It’s a prop rented for filming. Amazingly, I know lots of rich people with big houses some are even relatives. I’ve never had a conversation with any of them in which they shared the square footage of their home. That’s a sure tell of someone who is pretending to be something they are not. She’s a thug in a cocktail dress from Detroit.
Kenya has a scene with Lawrence. There is some talking head where one professes to knowing the other for 12 years. Really? Why is it always 12 years on these Bravo shows? That’s bullshit. When Sheree was fired, Lawrence needed a new BFF so when the yankee thug was shipped in, they matched these two up. The only interesting thing about this scene is how very thin Lawrence looked. I don’t know what was up with that. He was back to his normal size on the recent Hairdressers Tell All show with Derek J. Did y’all hear him throwing all that shade at Kandi? Lawrence feels like he got ripped off because he didn’t make any money on Closet Freak. Well Lawrence, the reality is the song didn’t sell. Kandi is not dipping in your empty pocket, babe, there just wasn’t anything to split. I heard Kandi lost money (again) on the project. So be nice to Kandi! The point of the Lawrence and Kenya scene is to set up their fake relationship so Lawrence can have a “new Sheree” but also so Kenya can explain that her boyfriends are usually much more attractive thant the tow truck guy. Classy as ever, Kenya.
Okay this is way too long so I am going to save the big final scene for another post tomorrow. Be sure to leave me your comments!
Nene’s son is named Brentt not Bryant….
Thanks. I’m watching TV and blogging and sorty combined Bryson and Brentt. 🙂 #brainfog. Bryant we be a good name for the next one. 🙂
I hope they aren’t showing all the good parts in the promos. I’ve seen movies like that where the only good parts in the movie WERE the promos. But I’m sure there will be enough drama to go around.I think the “star of the drama” is Kenya and everyone else might have to take a back seat this season. Sure there will be drama scenes with all the cast but I hope that its not all about Kenya.. Every year on all the HW Franchises, they pick a new villain… this year is Kenya….But, I’m sure I’ll find someone to hate on! LMAO!
All the best scenes are shown, except for the final scene. The rest is just fluff.
After my mom and dad got divorced, they both moved on and saw other people, and were cordial to each other and the new boo’s in each other’s life, but I can not imagine my father staying in the same home as my mother and her man. Noooo maam.
Nene and Gregg “divorced” for financial reasons. That is probably why Nene decided to yank the kid out of school. Shows they are a family and it didn’t mean anything.
I think maybe the reference was to Leon staying with Cynthia and Peter, but Leon and Cynthia were never married, were they?
If Nene and Greg divorced purely for financial reasons, why did it take so long? Lisa and Ed Hartwell’s divorce only took 30 to 60 days. why would you need a lawyer?
And in my state, charter schools are just another way for the white kids to be out of the black kids school district. Sorry, but true.
Sheree’s kids are black. In a charter school. sorry but true.
BTW here in the ATL most folks are black.
Yeah where I live too the majority is black, as well. You should hear the uproar here and some people are brutally honest why they want charter schools.
I heard that in Georgia that each district is not equal. Wealthy school district get better education and equipment? Is this true? Otherwise, you have to send your child to private school. Is homeschooling popular?
What’s the deal with rented property in Georgia? I thought Kim said her dream home was 17,000 square foot.
So glad I’ve not watched any promos so I can see it all at once in the episode.
I think I’m going to skip it tonight. I assume nothing has changed from the rough cut I saw…
Tamara if Nene never split with Greg was that story of him cheating with some PR lady fake and just a way to make the storyline look real? I think it was on a blog not many people visit straightfromthea or something like that. I like her and Greg together
LOL at you throwing shade at SFTA she ten times if not more bigger than me. I wrote about that Gregg thing here. Go to the search box and type in Gregg (two g’s on the end) it should be there. Nene was not happy with that chick. I think the name of the block has Pam in it so you could bring it up that way as well. I don’t think it ever happened. Gregg does not ever leave Nene’s side. Same chick was saying she was having an affair with Bryantt. Just no.
I agree. I think Pam was/is involved with Bryson. Pam is old enough to be Bryson’s mother. In addition, Bryson has a child with another girl. I am sure this did not sit well with Nene. It’s bad enough he is dating an older women, but now Nene has a grandchild and may be barred from seeing her. You know what happens when you break up with your boyfriend and children are involved!!
Nene does not respond like most people. Most people if they hear a lie being told on them, they brush it off and move on. Nene responds strongly to lies and it makes people think she is hiding something. Lies must be her pet peave!!
Boy you sure do tell it like it T-I IS! All of us Detroit girls aren’t thugs tho! Lol
