Morning, y’all. It’s been a long and difficult weekend for everybody so I hope you guys understand last night I just wanted to tune out of the world and watch the Survivor finale and take the night off from trying to squeeze in all those Sunday live recaps. I’m going to just give you guys some random thoughts on last night Real Housewives of Atlanta in Anguilla and skip the detailed recap.
First of all Phaedra kind of put the squash on Kenya’s overt flirting with Apollo last in a way that made it seem like she was telling her that even joking around like that on national television was not a look she wanted for her marriage. It seemed to me like the fourth wall opened up a couple times last night with housewives directly or indirectly discussing filming while filming and this was the first of those times. I wonder what the conversation that you know Phaedra had with Apollo was like that night. Later Cynthia acted as though she didn’t know that Kenya was bent over grabbing her ankles grinding on her man from one side as she was doing the same thing on the other like they were two synchronized swimmers. She did make sure to bring up the fact that she and Peter went for three rounds later that evening. Lots of camera close-ups on Walter and Kenya while the couples talked about their island sex. Poor Kendra is getting put in her place by everyone. It seems that Walter probably saw this episode before he did Frank and Wanda, seeing Kenya pretending like she was going to get married and decided it was time to come clean.
We also saw the glam squad Nene requested show up in her room which clearly was one of the biggest in Ani Villas. Fine. We get that Nene has decided that she needs to have a posse wherever she goes. My thing was, the girls were essentially flat-ironing some hair and slapping on some nail polish. It was apparently necessary for Nene to have these services so she could look nice before going to…. a full service spa where all of the same services had already been provided. It was like on Jersey Shore when the guys wear the t-shirt before the t-shirt. In this case it was the glam squad before the spa day. The spa scene was poorly thought out. Filmed in the midst of paying guests the girls got nekkid and shouted back and forth at each other ruining the intention of the expensive massages. But hey, the script said for Nene to call Kenya out on her relationship during that scene so it had to be done.
Let’s take a minute to talk about Nene. First of all I LOVE all of her talking heads in that multicolored top. It looks fabulous on her. She’s funny this season in her talking heads. I loved her headwraps. I even loved what she wore to the vow renewal (apparently as white swimsuit or perhaps one of Greg’s white wife beaters and a long royal blue sarong). But girrrrllll! Those jean shorts should never be worn outside your backyard in Georgia. Just no. She wore them to the spa. She wore them with that huge blue/green tent top during Kenya’s Gone With the Wind Moment. She wears them again on the next episode. All her posturing about how rich she is, she needed to bring more than a pair of jean shorts from Target.
On to the surprise vow renewals. For the first time, Peter seemed like a likeable guy. He seemed sincere and happy and comfortable. I saw for the first time what Cynthia must see in him. He looked great in his white ensemble. I expected super cheesy and I actually thought it was a pretty touching scene. Maybe Peter just needs to be in the islands to be his true self. I love the lantern lighting. It was interesting to see that Kenya and Walter’s lantern did not take off. It was sad to see Kandi and Todd’s lantern crash and burn. If I were Kandi, that would have bothered me too.
On to the required fight scene. Our veteran housewife Nene gets the opponents into attack mode while she casually checks out her new manicure until the scene requires her to be the peacemaker. While Phaedra watches from the sidelines she eats whipped cream by the spoonsful. Cynthia just pulls up a seat. Kandi skipped the whole scene for some alone time with her man. Ahhh…the benefits of reality show seniority. Porsha follows her script and goes through every misstep of Kenya’s at her charity event. Kenya plays her thug role and jumps up in Porsha’s face until Nene gets up to restore order. Kenya thinks 1993 was ten years ago while Porsha is pretty sure that was 55 years ago. Kenya’s grandmother raised her the Christian way and she ain’t nobody’s tramp. Well…technically she’s right on the second part, she seems to be pretty much everyone’s whore. The episode ends with Kenya doing her whirling dervish routine all the way to her room where her stunt boyfriend is probably screwing an island girl in the room.
Next week, Walter stands up at dinner to say he is in no way interested in marrying Kenya. Kenya has a fit and leaves the table scream that she is “done with this!” Hopefully, she means it in the Kim Zolciak way and that will be her final scene. No wonder she is so embarrassed.
I enjoyed the epi last night sans Kandi’s need to let us know her and her man got it in in the hot tub…yuck…NeNe kept the laughs going for sure…would’ve loved it if Peter took off the shades…next week is gonna be sweet…lol
Morning TT! Kenya looked old and haggard when she was going at it with Porsha. She should always try to smile. Did u see Phaedra back her ass up when Kenya started twirling around. Lol that show was a mess. The way Porsha was going on and on about it I might’ve got pissed too. Prolly wouldnt have done all what Kenya did, but I would’ve Brandi’d her “shut the fuck up” lol.
Nene is funny as hell. I love when Phaedra and NeNe get along. They are both so funny. Shit the whole cast getting along is really nice. I think Kenya vs everyone else is a great storyline.
Kenya is off the hook I would not marry here either, she disrespects herself as we’ll as others. She is loud and critical, I hate that because she has such a nice career in front of her. Can’t understand why she throws herself at other people’s men.
I thought Porsha was funny with the way she wouldn’t back down. The comment about 55 years was priceless. I think Porsha found Kenya’s Achilles heel which is her age. I think it’s about time someone came after Kenya. I also think the “Miss USA” pageant should think about revoking her title. Seriously!
Tamara – I burst out laughing when I loaded your page and saw Whirling Dervishes!! When Kenya started her twirling that’s EXACTLY what I thought – and laughed for a full 10 minutes. In fact, my hubby came into the room and thought something was wrong. I told him – nope, but crazy housewives are on…. So – in my book, if Bravo wants to keep Kenya for the fun factor, and guarantee that she’ll twirl every episode I’m on board.
In some repects, I pity Kenya. She obviously has a lot of baggage (or biggage) that just takes her to some dark places. It’s almost painful to watch.
On the other hand, watching Phaedrae eating whipped cream & strawberries was priceless. You could almost see the bubble above her head with the phrase “yall go ahead and make fools of yourselves, I’ll just sit here and eat this luscious whipped cream” – chomp!
Nene’s shorts – I kinda liked them. Nene’s a tall woman. Not sure how tall. However, I’m 5′ 9″ and with heels, well – you get the picture. So when I saw Nene’s shorts I thought they worked for the 1st day. Shorter shorts on tall women just look crazy stupid, IMHO.
Have to say – this is the first episode of any of the housewives series that I laughed so hard.
Jean, darling, I tell you this out of love. One must never wear jean shorts or white tennis shoes while touristing to a foreign country. You are begging for ridicule. You’re welcome.
Twirls out of the comment cause I AM Gone With the Wind fabulous. 🙂
Tamara, Dahlin’ – My step-Mommie Dearest said I could. :-p
un sorry but porsha was throwing debs on kenya!
Peter looks better with the shades ON!
He surely did and more of a nice person
Whoa did u see nene’s hair in the chair? She’s rich…and bald! All that damn dye has ruined her hair completely. Damn shame.
Bleaching will definitely take your hair out!
Peter and Cynthia’s interaction at the vow renewal was touching. I am hoping that is the real Peter that she gets and that the other Peter is just the camera and Bravo editing. The whole vow renewal thing is kind of stupid, especially when it’s all for Bravo, but in this case it was a good thing. Their first wedding was a total shit show with the drama with her mom and sister, the whole trying to pay for what they couldn’t afford. This seemed like it would have been their style from the very beginning. Bigger is not always better and people should realize that.
I actually thought Cynthia was embarrassed and I wasn’t seeing a lot of “romantic love” from her toward Peter. I felt like she was embracing him because she felt badly about the trouble he had gone through, it was the sort of embrace you make when on a “pity date”. I get the feeling Cynthia is not happy with her marriage.
Didn’t watch last night because I just wanted something very … Easy. So I qued up Gosford Park on Netflix. I’m glad too. I can’t take this much 2nd hand embarrassment.
SO WHY COMMENT?
Wasn’t this their third try at a marriage party? Didn’t they do something last year to try to “erase” the original wedding drama? Enough already. You have been married now for three years just be married like the rest of us.
And I felt bad for Kenya. She is a mess but she is who she is. I really felt sorry for her and think Porsha is a stuck up bully.
I feel sorry for kenya too. Even if Kenya and Walter agreed to pretend to be together for the show, Walter did not live up to his end. Walter is a lousy boyfriend.
I agree. He could have made more of an effort to play the game with the girl.
Soooo true!!!
The Soooo true!!! was meant to reply to what Kate said.
Actually it’s been two years! And she’s not like “the rest of us” because she’s on TV and you’re watching so STFU!
Clearly nothing like us that is for sure.
Porsha needs to be slapped, but she’s already silly. How about into A BOOK? LOL
I also really like the show without Kim. Even though she was never there she still had a lurking presence like a ghost. Now with her gone, the show flows better and is easier to watch. She was a real thorn in my side (and apparently everyone elses as well).
Girl I could not agree with you more!!!!
Awww, come on now ladies – admit it – you LOVE watching Kim…..who else has 8 wigs, potty mouth, married boyfriends/fiancee’, tacky homes filled with even tackier furniture? While I’m not a fan, she’s crazy good entertainment, just like Kenya a.k.a. Whirling Dirvishes? Yall do know all this is scripted, right?
Can we say hot mess again? Kenya loves Walter the hired man he is? I guess this is why she quits the ‘relationship’ next episode. Call Porscha what you want- Kenya can list all those accomplishments and say Porscha did nothing but lay on her back to get a wedding ring…she can’t even do THAT!
My line for the night from Nene: comparing Greg to the Nutty Professor Klumps. I had to rewind, he did look like them! Lmao!
ROFL …. I missed that! What part of the show was it – I still have it in my recordings, would love to hear it.
right after she caught the bouquet from cynthia’s ceremony.
That show last night was crazy. The more I watch it I realized that this show does have so many scripts. NeNe pulling the ladies apart like that seems that she was told to do that. Porsha definitely was told to address the issue. NeNe was told to ask Kenya about her relationship and it was just crazy. The scripts are making the show more boring although I still watch it. I do not think that Porsha should have continued to argue with Kenya as their argument was pointless and ridiculous! Agree to disagree and sit your behinds down I say as the argument was boring. I noticed how they did not have Kim on the intro this week..so funny how they have her off already. They wasted no time. As far as NeNe and the glam squad…hmmm…she did her own makeup shouldn’t it have been part of the glam squad…just seems crazy.
Oh I definitely forgot Walter pulling Kenya away to say something private to her….he agreed to that script…that was nonsense. Announcing Cynthia and Peter renewal…ok really you could have done that later that night….they tried to up play this wedding and getting married stuff….just crazy!!! Now we know the truth Kenya looks more crazy and Walter could not keep the grin off his face that he knew that he was playing on her “marriage” nonsense. He looked down right goofy!
That had to be the most asinine reason to leave the dinner. My guess is he wasn’t feeling the digs about if you are in paradise and not getting some there is something wrong. I think he did try to play along and not out and out lie.
Much better that watching MaRLO and Sheree fight in baby voice….
Well, I guess you have a point there. 🙂 Oh and hi! and welcome!
Last night’s episode proves that RHOA has officially jumped the shark similar to the way ‘Roseanne’ did in seasons 8 and 9. Ya know?
We’ve reached the point where the quality is just going out the window: too many scripted conversations, silly cat fights that are based on minutia, pointless characters, fake situations that assume the viewer has diminished intellectual capacity.
It’ all a gimmick and screams desperate. The series will hopefully be “Gone with the Wind” soon enough; there is nothing fabulous about it.
Those ladies have enough personality and natural drama not to use a script. Even though she’s not a likeable person I live for Kenya’s moments. She is really high-larious. I wonder how much Bravo is paying her to be cooky absolutely bat shit crazy? Because I really think that each person is brought on to play a role or type. I really want the realness of the relationship to get interrogated on the show and not just discussed on the reunion show.
As for Kandi, I am sooooooo glad Kandi is in love and getting some but really I did not need to know the information about the hot tub. i was more than slightly grossed out about it and clearly so was Phaedra…
Also love how really real Phaedra got about her man when Kenya asked that dumb question. Everybody knows that is a big big no no. Notice how Kenya backed all the way up when Phaedra checked her. Trust me, crazy knows when to back the hell off. I mean was she expecting Phaedra to say, “kenya, I give Apollo a pass to do you.”
Oh did anyone pick up on NeNe’s comment of bringing home “lots of bacon” at the dinner table? I just thought that was sort of out of left field and a bit of a dig at Greg’s current money making ability. Maybe I interpreted that wrong what do you all think?
Overall and besides the expected Kenya drama, it actually seemed like a very nice couple’s retreat. I enjoyed seeing them all relaxed in their partnerships. I mean besides crazola everyone seemed to be enjoying each other.
That bringing home lotz of bacon was really out of place. If at this point in their relationship Nene is indeed the bread winner she doesn’t need to lord it over him. A true loving relationship is about supporting each other and having each other for better or worse. Greg isn’t running off at the mouth about how he supported her and her son that isn’t even his. There was no reason for that comment at all. NO need to make the man feel like less of a man because his business has fallen on hard times.
Phaedra kept it classy and that probably scared Kenya more than anything. She realized Phaedra wasn’t one of those bitches to talk or make a big old scene, she is one that will run up on your ass and let loose. I kind of wish she had. In my opinion Kenya had it coming. She was disrespectful more than once.
We really didn’t need to know about Kandi and Todd getting down in the hot tub. That was just TMI. I am happy for her that she is happy and getting some but jeeze just TMI.
i noticed a couple of weeks ago that nene hair is failing out , and most likely it is for all the bleach and heat.also i missed the show last nite and didnt recorded where can i see today online bravo doesnt have only clips
Nene’s hair was AWFUL at the spa. We’re the scenes edited out if sequence? Surely no flat iron had seen her hair that day…
Nene has been wearing fake hair since the show started…..one would think her goal after all these years is to grow real hair so that we can say good bye to the fake. But this last show, when they was putting on her make up…clearly you could see, the front hasn’t grew an inch, I could beeds spilling from her forhead. Child, you need some serious hair advice.
SHOW HAD THIRD HIGHEST RATING EVER. 3.6 million. Take that Kim Zolciak.
Ms. T, just goes to show how much we miss Kim. She is a non-entity, she did that by getting pregnant back to back and thinking she was going to sit back, collect a check and refuse to film with any of the ladies. I say good riddance to bad trash. She is a user and a tramp.
Bwaaaaahaaaaaaa – agreed. I think the audience who like her will happily watch her show and be happy to immerse themselves in all things Kim. And that’s where they should keep her. I hope like hell she NEVER comes back to RHOA because she has made it clear that she wasn’t really friends with most of the women and she despises them so much that she can’t stand to show up for her job. So putting her back on the show just wouldn’t make sense… I know it’s not good to wish bad on anyone but I really want her show to fail, so she can just go away completely since she’s so happy just being with her family. Kim’s biggest issue besides the lying and being an ungrateful user is trying to be all holier than thou when we all know how she started. It was disingenuous and many faithful RHOA viewers responded negatively to the bullshit…
of course it did. bravo hyped up the fight. everyone wants to see a fight. fights get ratings.
I agree. The fight was hyped so people watched. That does not necessarily mean that Bravo delivered. I was disappointed.
But maybe I am an unmerciful fault finder.
I notice ole Kim mentioned maybe a week ago that she would return for Season 6 if asked.
Hopefully that train left the station on a one way trip never to return and I will be spared.
Maybe fate will somehow place her and her family in Nevada after Kroy’s contract is up and she will be on a show like “Las Vegas Rules”, which seems more her speed in all it’s wigged out, “it takes-a-ton-of-money-to-look-this-cheap” glory….or if Shaunie O’Neils “Football Wives” is resuscitated, she can film there instead and take Pilar Sander’s place.
Whatever happens, I’m all good with her not returning, she doesn’t fit into the franchise anymore and I have no interest watching her move between scenes of gorging on pizza & wine, taking her lazy slothful self to get “treatments” to burn it off, and bantering back & forth with Sweeeeeee-deeeeeeeeeee!
So sweet of you! Merry Christmas!
what made this weekend long and difficult?
“She wears them again on the next episode. All her posturing about how rich she is, she needed to bring more than a pair of jean shorts from Target.”…. do you get the episodes ahead of time tamara ?
I can NOT believe you missed NiNi digging in her nasty EAR with the makeup brush!!!! Omg.
I’m going to pretend it was not scripted. The vow renewal made me teary. And porsha only did that’s shit because she thought she was going to have backup in ganging up on Kenya. Her recounting of events was just one lie after another. She set Kenya up to go off. And I can’t believe the other ladies sat back while porsha yelled about miss 40. They are all close to or on the other side of 40. Her slamming Kenya’s age was slamming them all. Kenya’s yelling way more articulate than porsha’s. So she wins. The Walter thing is just too stupid. But on the fight with porsha, she was right.
teecee6; i saw nene digging in her ear with the makeup brush. i guess no 1 is saying anything bc it is s/t we all do ?
i dont think porsha recounted the events wrong. she even said ‘this is how i remember it happened kenya may remember it different’. porsha should have STATED how she remember it but instead she got loud and irate.
It is most certainly NOT something we all do. And no. Porsha said that Kenya was just invited. Not as a name but as a guest. It was clear when porsha got up and introduced Kenya that she was there as a name. Flat out lie.
I wish you would take down that pic of Lauren Bacall—lord knows your ugly mug looks nothing similar to it.
No. I’m sure you are used to not getting what you want.
Ahahahaha.
No, it’s very clear you’re NOT use to getting what you want—that’s why your gravatar is of a woman you wish you looked like……Bawaaahaaaa! Poor thang!
Maybe if you would have put this pic of Lauren Bacall on that dating website you were on, instead of the one showing your apparent affection for food, you would’ve received more hits….now I’m crying laughing.
You appear to be off balance. While I am amused, I’m compelled to suggest that you log off your computer and get a grip.
NO, what’s off balance and entertaining is your thought process of thinking blacks are inferior to and want to be white people—that’s the off balance and entertaining part. Oh, and I can tell you’re kinda clueless when it comes to how the computer works—TIP: try using a different screen name when your thumb thugging, your nasty screen name is all out there in the cyber-world along with your true UGLY ASS PIC, Ugh, I had to wipe my monitor down after I took a glimpse.
Darling, I never said inferior. That is YOUR word. But, now I know why tamikaka so ANGRY.
PS: there are not actually people inside the monitor. Those are just “pictures”. But…I wouldn’t expect you to understand technology. You’re probably using chicken feet to cast a spell or something. Bwahaha!!!
Huh? Your come backs are lacking logical and meaningful cohesion—-WEAK!!. I guess since I now know what you look like, and I found you on several other websites spewing your disdain for people with melanin in their pigment, disguised under “I’m just being factual” B.S. you’re back sliding. Oh, and I don’t have to hide behind fake names like teecee66, and an old pic of a 1940s actress—I use my real name. Muffin cheeks (because your face looks like you like bread-like products.), you’re the one angry—I saw where you told Colin Quinn his apology reminded you of when your dad hug you with his fist—-SAD!
The entire event was CHARITY BY BRAVO! It was a last minute thing where they hired Porsha when Kim quit. It was the “bringing the newbies together” scene on the playlist.
I’m still not sure about Ms Porsha and her “don’t you know who I am” or “don’t you know who I’m married to?” attitude. It is however, a role she’s been groomed to play her whole life. If she even had a little bit of brain in that “Black Barbie” head of hers, she would stop and think,”Now how would Sheree have shut Keyna down?” She still has to act the good christian socialite in ATL society, she cannot be hollarin’ bi#%h and hood rat in every sentence. Kenya stole the show with that GWTW reference! My hope is that we get to see Porsha DO SOMETHING!! I wanted so badly for her to be the younger version of Lea Black….like some kind of fundraising wunderkind! Alas,I don’t think so.
Please explain to me how a “human” can have a pedigree. I thought this was a title that was applied to animals. Kenya said that she had a pedigree, just before the infamous Gone With The Wind twirl.:)
I don’t get why Kenya is so hell fire bent on portraying herself as this hood rat diva who rents boyfriends??? How low can a person go in order to be on tv?
“A pedigree chart is a diagram that shows the occurrence and appearance or phenotypes of a particular gene or organism and its ancestors from one generation to the next, most commonly humans, show dogs, and race horses. The word pedigree is a corruption of the French “pied de grue” or crane’s foot, because the typical lines and split lines (each split leading to different offspring of the one parent line) resemble the thin leg and foot of a crane.”
Team Kenya on the Porsha fight. Porsha lied when she said that Kenya was a guest like everyone else. If that was the case, she didn’t highlight anyone else’s presence on the microphone but Kenya’s. Furthermore, when Kenya said that she didn’t want to talk about it, why did Porsha get so angry and say ,”This is why I can’t deal with people like you..” WTF? You’re mad because Kenya didn’t want to bring up drama from the past? And your only rebuttal to everything she does is calling her over 40? Child please. I wanted Kenya to hit her in the face. All bark and no bite. I can’t stand chicks like that. Porsha seems like a nice enough person, but she needs to let that drama that took place at the “charity event” go with the wind. I hate how everyone was getting on Kenya’s case and holding her back, but allowing Porsha to say what she wanted to say and put her hands wherever she wanted to put them.
I agree with all of that.
Apolla and Porsha make a cute couple. Both cute and a little immature. Phaedra and Cordell look better and match better. Cordell brings a taste of class that money just can’t buy Apollo. Phaedra needs that.
I like Cordell so far. How long has he been with Porsha?
He has no idea, since he is brain damaged.
I really enjoyed this episode. Despite the kenya outburst. but it was kim free and that’s alright with me !
This was a funny episode. Big Butt whimped out. She didn’t set Kendra straight b/c she felt disrespected – and she was! No, she called her out b/c she didn’t want other people teasing her about Kendra’s overboard behavior with her HUSBAND! Ha! Total whimp. Kendra, what a complete and total dummy. She rubbed her ass on another man, then got mad when Nene called her out on her relationship. For someone that is so “smart and educated,” she sure is stupid.
I like Nene but faking like Gregg is in the dog house, then trying to push up on him is laughable.
I knew that Porscha Kenya explosion was coming, I just thought it would wait until the reunion. In any case, Porscha does act younger than a 31 yr. old woman. And all the talk about who she is and her legacgy. Please. I agree with Kenya, get a damn job and make a name for yourself…..
I’m sorry. When you say “big butt”, you’re going to need to be more specific.
It’s funny how these women try to pretend they WANT to be fat assed heifers.
I love this site TT!!!!!!! I dont understand why people come on this website to harass TC, i think what she writes is hilarious, and I’m a black woman. #HAVEASINCEOFHUMOR.
People don’t come here to harrass TC. TC comes here to toy with people. 🙂
Hush you.
Sorry. (should have used a spoiler tag)
Kenya should stay on RHOA. She’s no worse than the other HWs on any of these shows. Some People are already jealous of her. If she were what you say she should be, she’d be perfect. Then you’d hate her, too. Kenya’s entertaining;you never know what’s next with her. Give her a break-Porsha is wrong!
People like you who cannot recognize the mentally ill and think it is fun to watch on TVV are what is wrong with America.
hey ladies wish i could have invited you to our home in Anguilla…hot tub is even bleach clean..lol….and our son was one of the chefs on Sandy Island..hope you enjoyed….Esther and Allien PAYNE
