I’ve been feeling on the verge of something for a few days. Last night I laid my head down for just a minute before RHOA started and woke up 15 hours later. I missed everything. I just discovered that my DVR is all kinds of messed up and won’t tape higher number channels apparently. So I have no DVR from anything last night. So I am going to need y’all to tell me what I missed. I fell asleep with Bravo on and woke up two or three times in the night hearing Porsha talking about Cynthia. There must be something about Porsha’s voice that wakes the dead. I’m just saying. So tell me everything! Was it a good show?
Here’s what you missed. NOTHING! It was BOOOORRRIIIINNNGGGG!
You didn’t miss a thing. B O R I N G.
I watched a marathon on RHOA this weekend. I must say that I have been relying on you to give me most of the tea. Can I just say that Kenya is seriously disturbed? Great for ratings…….but I am sure there are at least of couple of boiling rabbits in her past.
As far as last night, it was mostly uneventful.
1. Kenya does not have breast cancer.
2. Kandi is trying to get back to her roots of singing gospel.
3. Porsha is no longer affiliated with Cynthia’s pageant. I am happy about this as it looks like it turns into a hot mess. I am glad Cordell came to her defense and had a talk with Cynthia about ending the pageant relationship with Porsha.
I am sure, your sleep was more interesting than the girls last night.
I’ll try to recap from memory Porsha’s “storrie” last night. My brain kinda got washed clean by watching 2 hours ofDownton Abbey afterwards.
Porsha is throwing controlling husband a 40th birthday party with a Harlem Renaissance theme. She is trying on dresses in her living room with her mom and sister. They diss the first one because it does not hug her curves, and she only dresses for him and for what he likes. The second dress looks like something a Russian ice skater wears. She chooses dress number 3. Whatever.
Cynthia is supposed to meet at Porsha’s house to discuss the upcoming pageant. Well controlling husband Kordell is out of town, and Porsha relocates the meeting because her controlling husband does not like “strangers” in house. The strangers are the Bailey boys, the gaggle of queens that work with Cynthia and the agency.
While waiting at the agency for a slightly tardy Porsha, Cynthia tells her Bailey boys about Porsha not wanting them in her house. That was some shit starting on Cynthia’s part because those queenie Bailey boys passive aggressively rip into Porsha with all sorts of shade. Upon introduction one of the queens says his real name, but “strangers” call me Mr. Couture. This comment goes over her head. Then Cynthia puts her on the spot by calling her out for switching the meeting from her house. Porsha stutters out her explanation. More shade is thrown at Porsha and she now knows that she got served by the Bailey Boys.
Porsha is playing basketball with her NFL husband and she tells him about her meeting with Cynthia, and that she was made to feel uncomfortable by the Bailey Boys. He tells her she better check Cynthia because she is helping her.
Porsha meets Cynthia is restaurant, and Cynthia fires Porsha on the spot. Sorry girl, but you are just not taking this pageant shit seriously and your foundation is taking too long to give me what I need and blah blah blah. Porsha’s head starts spinning because she can’t believe what she just heard. In her commentary Porsha says she is “perturd”. LOL she butchers another word.
You forgot to mention, “My waistline is small in comportion to my hips” and “Everybody has their long cigars and their cabarets”. We usually know what she means, but I still haven’t figured out what she meant by “cabarets”. Then there was “Guilty until proven guilty”. Kordell said some stupid stuff too – Cynthia and Porsha were “trying to eat each other’s toothpick”???
I missed it, but my guess would be cabernet…
Poor Porsha. Wonder if she was educated in Atlanta City Schools?
I don’t know but thank goodness she’s pretty. Bless her heart.
Guilty maybe of having sex with men in parks
Very boring but lets run down the show.
Nene-In LA so no scenes for her. 1 small clip at the 40 min mark.
Kandi- Convinced gospel great Marvin Sapp to record a song with her. Song sounds like Riley wrote it and Kandi sounded terrible.
Phaedra- fronted like Kenya’s behavior
and attire at NeNe’s event didn’t bother her but even Kandi pointed out that it was evident that Phaedra was shaken by it.
Cynthia- was highly annoyed with Porsha and her lack of hard work for a fashion show she was not in charge of. Cynthia felt as If Porsha was not giving it 150% although Cynthia herself waited until 2 weeks before the how to start doing any real work. Subsequently, she fired, I mean, retracted her request for Porsha to be a part of the show.
Porsha- Where do I start??!! This chick is dumber than a box of rocks!! Kordell DEMANDED that she “check” Cynthia for the way her assistants treated Porsha at the Bailey Agency but instead she meets with Cynthia and gets fired. Later at Kordell’s birthday party, the birthday boy tries his controlling, Jedi mind tricks on
Cynthia to force a reconciliation with Porsha, while Peter watches with a full erection.
Also, in attendance at the party was Walter!! He, Peter, and Kordell share a table and Peter states that although he and Walter have stayed in touch since Anguilla, Walter failed to mention he was no longer dating Kenya. He then makes the declaration that Walter is invited to everything he ever plans in the future and Kordell seconds the motion.
Phaedra and Apollo were not in attendance at the party but Todd and Kandi showed up and avoided the drama by heading to the roulette table!! Also, we got to meet Porsha’s mom an sister and see that it was a true blessing that she married rich!!
Last but not least, Kenya-thankfully we only had to sit through 2 scenes!! Scene 1: Kenya and Aunt Lori go to a doctor’s appointment because 3 tumors were found in her breasts. We are treated to 3 biopsies and a tray of bloody tissue. Then we see Kenya squeeze out a few fake tears while she implies that stressing over whether or not Walter will
marry her and fighting with Phaedra could have caused the cancer.
Scene 2: meeting with doctor where she says the tumors are benign, Kenya cries, end scene.
I think that’s everything.
Hey FGF! Just wanted to tell you that was an excellent review. You hit everything and you are witty too! Laughed my ass of at several of your remarks, especially about Porscha! Gawd she is dumber than a stump. I liked your description of Cordell when he was talking with Cynthia! Controling Jedi mind trick! Ha! And Peter with an erection! Girl you need to write your own blog. I would read ya! Well done! You done Tamara proud I am sure!
Hey FGF! Wonderful re-telling of Atlanta. Funny and concise, I don’t think you missed a thing! Tamara must be proud! You are good enough to write a blog of your own. I’d read it!
Hey my first comment didnt show up so I rewrote. Sorry. It popped up about thirty minutes later. Weird. Anyway I am forgetful as hell but not so forget that I would write another comment saying same thing to same person! Some glich probably with my computer. Well I guess it bears reapeating!!
which I just misspelled. I am quitting now.
Cynthia sat there while Kordell(sp) chastised her like a 10 year old and she and Peter said nothing.
NeNe would have ripped Kordell’s head off literally, she doesn’t take anyone chastising her as if she were a child. Cynthia has her own business besides she is a grown grown woman. Kordell stepped out of his boundaries; this disagreement was between Cynthia and his GREEN Wife. Kordell, just because, you pay the cost to be the BOSS with Porsha, you are not the Boss of someone else’s wife. When Cynthia called you DADDY was CUTE.
Hey TT, just caught the episode and put it this way, It starts with Porsha and ends with Kenya so it’s basically a snoozefest! Porsha’s trying in dresses, She looks great, her friends agree, yawn.. Next scene Kandi gets a visit from Phaedra, makes way to sweet tea and they discuss Kenya again. Phaedra says Kendra had a Home Depot booty and she don’t stop her flow trying to be like her. Wearing Victoria Secret free coupon panties underneath, really? Kenya goes to the Doctor, Porsha holds acrying baby, Cynthia bitches bout her helper Porsha to her Bailey boys how they couldn’t go to to her home since their strangers and they treat her like crap. Kandis in the studiomaking a new album. Cynthia and Porsha argue over her part in the pagaent. Kordell intervenes
eventually when it’s not his concern.
Nene and Greg have an awkward moment, a kandidoesGospel5and is working with Marvin Sap. Kordell is having a 40th Harlem nights themed party, Cynthia shows up despite being a bitch to Porsha, Kordell is tired of living in the Matrix and tired of it. That’s pretty much it, and Kenya doesn’t have Cancer. I think this season Cynthia and Nene are as boring as Porsha and Phaedra so why are the ratings so good? Is there really nothing else to watch? I myself like Shameless and Girls, Tam have you seen either of these shows?
i saw a tiny bit of Girls. What is Shameless?
Shameless is on Showtime. It’s about a young woman named Fiona and her family. Her father is a drunk and she raises his children in what is the most dysfunctional family on television and it’s really just a great show. Frank, her dickhead alcoholic father is the worst excuse for a father ever, Lip her brother is a genius who falls in love with every other crazy dysfunctional slut in the neighborhood and is a hustler. Ian her other brother is discovering himself as he comes out the closet. Debbie is the little sister, slash Child care provider, mini mom who sees no wrong in her father because she’s so young like 12 maybe. Carl another lil brother likes to kill things and is the wild card. Liam is the baby who their crazy ass alcoholic mom had and left all of them behind to go party. Also they have neighbors V and her dude who have crazy sex all the time and do some type of internet porn. This all takes place in Detroit, I think if you watch it you’ll like it!
The UK version is the best!!!
Tiffers. I love Shameless. It is one of my favorite shows on and I wish it was on with more episodes. The acting, writing all of it is excellent and it goes by way too fast.
Sandybo, I totally agree. Love the writing! I also like Californication and Dexter, both are equally well written and It sucks having to wait for the next episode/season. Also recently discovered 2 Broke girls which is now my favorite show at the moment!
I must say, the recaps were far more interesting than the show actually was. Good job ladies!
I am wondering why the ratings are so good too. Maybe because they hype the episodes and people feel compelled to watch?
This is the worst season by far. Kenya has grown on me some, but she is a one season pony. She will have nothing else to offer in a second season.
Nene’s scene was part of the extra footage that is spliced into the commercial run. I really did not miss her or realize she was not on the episode until I saw her.
Porsha I can at least roll with as she makes no excuses or pretenses about her situation: she is a pampered housewife and that is just the reality.
Cynthia has developed nicely from supporting cast member to being a main event. I think it works because she has the wit and gusto to pull it off.
Kandi and Phaedra really tire me. Kandi can barely sing R&B and now she wants to aim for Gospel? No thank you, ma’am.
I am really critical of Phaedra and for good reason. Her storyline is so fabricated and ridiculous that she now looks exactly like what she is: a fool.
I LOL and felt sad at the same time when Kordell was scolding is daughter/wife regarding her so-called confrontation with Cynthia. I think that Kordell is a misogynist, a closest homosexual and a batterer. From their scenes together Porsha is definitely afraid of her husband. It was really creepy when Kordell told Cynthia to her face that she and his wife made him sick. Cynthia gave him the side-eye while Porsha had a look of horror on her face. It was like she know she was going to get (in a bad way) when they got home. Their relationship reminds me of Sleeping with the Enemy. Only Porsha is too dumb to fake her own death to get away from him. I expect something really bad to happen in the future between these two. Sorry, but I wasn’t bored at all. I wonder how awkward the episode showing was at Bar One last night.
Yes cns I totally agree. Kordells is weird and he gives me the creeps to. There is something psycho going on in that big ole head of his. And Porsha is definitely scared of him. I’m sure her family pushed her into marrying him because he’s got money. When Porsha was trying on dresses her Mother and Sister were basing the decision on which dress would meet Kordells standards. You could tell Porsha really liked the first dress but they shot it down because it wasn’t revealing enough fir Kordell Her family have got to know how weird he is but like I said they like his money.
Different producer, going in a new direction. This is what the majority of the people wanted and probably why the ratings are so high. This is not the drama that I am use to, I don’t think they are boring.
The ratings are high, but it is not as though the ratings this season outshine other seasons.
All of those recaps are on point and funny as hell! I feel a little sorry for Porsha (not much) such a pretty young lady, but light headed. Say what you will about Cynthia, the woman knows how to dress and look classy. Decided I don’t like Kordell, he does come across as very bossy towards his wife. Kenya is drama queen.Phaedra is slick rick. Kandi is…..?? NeNe is her own best fan because she has “arrived”. I am addicted because I can’t stop watching this show, oh well.
Yeah last night was the first time I thought Cynthia is really the best dressed with the best style. She has an outfit & hairstyle for everything, and she always looks good. Though Vanderpump always looks expensive, Cynthia is still best dressed & most stylish.
I saw enough to know that I never, ever, ever want to have a needle biopsy.
Also after Cynthia told Porsha she was no longer needed to help out with the pageant, Porsha stated she was very perterd (perturbed) with Cynthia. Her grandfather would be so proud. In another scene Porsha was taking care of her niece and the niece was screaming her head off. Porsha said she couldn’t understand it, because children just love her.
I was very happy to hear that Kenya does not have breast cancer. But Dr. wants her to come back for another checkup on 6 months.
Porsha wants how many babies at 1 time? She is barely handling 1! Porsha does not have a clue.
LOL, I just watched the episode and had to search to see if I was the only one who caught Porsha Stewart’s mispronunciation of perturbed as “perturd”, LOL. And the look on her face! Hilarious! What in her delusional, uneducated mind causes her to think she is better than any of the other women on the show? She needs to show some respect and also take a few classes at the local community college.
The show was on last night when I went to bed and since I have yet to see it, I thought I would watch it at least until I fell asleep. I fell asleep very quickly, missing it again, but not before I her Porsha say that her small waist was her favorite feature because it was small in comportion to her waist! lol.
she said “purrrturrrbbbedd” lmaoooooo i was like maam….
No baby….she said PERRRTERRRED
Yeah, what James said. There was no b or b sound in what she said, otherwise we wouldn’t all be laughing at her.
Why is Kandi not shown in the picture above? This is like the 5th week in a row that this picture is being used as opposed to one that shows all the ladies…just wondering?
never even noticed that! Was in a hurry and just pulled from my already downloaded pics the first generic RHOA pic I saw… I wonder why she isn’t in the pic?
Cynthia had the nerve to ask Porsha to have a business meeting at her home. Kordell said he did not want strangers in his house. Cynthia is pissed and tells her fake partners who also get pissed and act very rude and childish towards Porsha.
I think Cynthia just wanted to take her partners over to see Kordells’ house. Kordell was probably thinking I am not letting these nosy, instagram and twitting fools in my home.
Why do all of Cynthia’s meetings take place on the sofa next to the front door?
I switched the channel every time Kenya appeared. Surprise she does not have cancer. I am glad that she is physically well, but she is still insane.
Cynthia fired her volunteer Porsha since Porsha I guess refused to do any work for free.
Cynthia is planning for her pageant and asked Nene if she should hire Kenya to be one of her judges. Nene gave her the “are you out of your f**king mind” look. I think Cynthia said something like she was Miss USA and Nene say something like I don’t care if she was Miss boo boo. (they left us hanging after that)
The preview shows a scene of the future pageant and it looks disorganized to say the least.
Kenya talking head also lets us know that the pageant was a disaster. I will assume that Cynthia did not let Kenya be a judge.
Cynthia’s pageants are money making ventures and workshops. I just spent a few minutes looking for a prior post about it here but can’t seem to find it. Karma, you are good at finding things here… let me know if you can find the link. I may have just read about it and not posted, I suppose but I could have sworn I pointed out how expensive the “entry fee” and in particular, the “workshops” were. Also Peter’s “entertainment company” was involved with “publicity” and such.
I’m searching and starting to wonder if wordpress ate it because I remember the discussion being here on your site as well.
Found it in the comments of an article – http://s17948.p858.sites.pressdns.com/2012/09/05/whats-wrong-with-this-picture-bailey-agency-edition/comment-page-1/#comment-9498
Thanks Karma.
Anything to help 🙂
As for Porsha and Kordell, I think Porsha chooses her fights with her husband wisely. I think she pulls that “fiesty” black woman out when needed. Example: In Anguilla when Kordell proceeded to tell his engagement story and implied that he was forced to propose, she sat him straight quickly. Raised her voice, rolled her eyes, and he abruptly changed his tune. She is dumb as a box of rocks, so he guides her (and calls her out) when needed. It may come off to the viewers as abusive, but I’ve yet to see a scene where he disrespected her. Some of us (black women) aren’t used to a man controlling the home fully, so we’re quick to call men out for “trying to be our daddy”. But if I was taken care of the way Kordell takes care of his wife (not just monetarily….remember the scene where he brought her breakfast in bed?)I would listen just like Porsha does. But you can’t blame him for her empty head. What should we expect when she attends AmericanIncontinental University lol.
The breakfast in bed thing could have been just for the cameras. I think we all know that most of this stuff is staged.
Did you watch WWHL last night with Phaedra?
Her outfit was horrible and unflattering. I thought her boobs were going to come out of that dress.
I do like Phaedra.
They had a live poll. Which DVD would you buy Donkey or Stallion? Donkey won with 87%,
Yeah, I was waiting for a “wardrobe malfunction” too! That’s the first time I’ve seen her without her boobs mashed together up under her chin.
Did anyone catch Kenya’s doctor’s comment…”there is a lot of scar tissue” and Kenya almost screamed, the doctor quickly moved on…
Yeah, I heard that too. It’s from her implants. Has she admitted to having them?
I am just now watching and for the first time in my life fast forwarded through Kenya’s scenes. I’m just over her and don’t care to see or hear her. The Bailey Boys were rude to Porscha. While Cynthia may not understand the reason why “strangers” aren’t welcome in his home while Kordell is away, I certainly do. I don’t like people in my home regardless but definitely not when my husband isn’t home. That’s just how it is.
I just thought it was rich of Cynthia to comment on how controlling Kordell is. Has she met her husband the kettle?
