Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Don’t Be Tardy For The Damn Party!

December 15, 2013 by tamaratattles 105 Comments

real-housewives-of-atlanta-season-5-hero-the-atlanta-reunion-beginsOkay, I have about ten shows I want to be watching all at once, but let me get to recapping RHOA first and foremost. I can’t believe this show pulls close to four million viewers a week. And Nene has not had much of a presence at all this season. Now she has been relegated to “being in charge of a road trip.” That sort of task is usually assigned to the most boring person on the show!

Did Cynthia move? I don’t remember her house being this nice. Kandi goes to Cynthia to tell her about the bridal beatdown her mother and aunts put on Carmon. I don’t think the Mama Joyce thing is all storyline. Kandi broke down on WWHL talking about her mama and how they are not currently speaking.  Kandi doesn’t seem like the fake crying type. I am buying into this whole scene.  And it’s really sad. Kandi says she might just do something small for her wedding. Like getting married in Mexico?  Cynthia basically tells Kandi that if she doesn’t get a grip on her mother, she will lose Todd.

Oh Lord, Mama Joyce has arrived to Phaedra’s office. Phaedra is there with Ayden. Ayden is not acknowledging Mama Joyce. Phaedra whispers to him that he needs to speak to Mama Joyce if he wants a treat. Ayden whispers back, “I don’t want a treat.”  And I am officially in love with Ayden. Mama Joyce says she is there for legal advice. She wants to ask about a prenup.  Phaedra says she has a prenup and Kandi will have one too.  Mama Joyce says Todd is refusing to sign a prenup. That is horseshit. Todd just said he was not agreeing to anything with Mama Joyce.  He said it in a nice way leaving out the whole “this is none of your fucking business” portion that he and the rest of the free world were thinking.  Phaedra tells Mama Joyce that Kandi has a will and that Mama Joyce will be taken care of.

MAMA-JOYCE-RHOAMama Joyce asks Phaedra why in the hell did she introduce Kandi to Todd? She says with all of these lawyers and everyone else that you know, you gonna introduce her to one of the workers?  Why I the hell Mama Joyce has it in her head that Todd’s job is not lucrative I have no idea. Todd does just fine for himself.  LOL Mama Joyce is ranting about Todd being little and  short with a big head. Kandi is short, she got a big head, you don’t put two short big-headed people together! Hello! You don’t introduce two short people with big heads!  This is hysterical!  Phaedra seems at a loss for words herself and that never happens.  Mama Joyce says, “You didn’t get no little short man with a big head! ”  #dead

Mama Joyce says she would not come to the wedding. And if my source is right, she didn’t.  Mama Joyce says Todd is an opportunist. I don’t believe for a minute Mama Joyce even knew what that word meant until she heard it on the Wendy Williams show.  Phaedra says that Kandi thinks Todd is the one, and she thinks he’s the one too! And then Mama Joyce says, ” You know that’s why I could choke you right now.”  And the weird tone in which she said it was very believable.

Brandon is now “Kenya’s best friend.” This conversation about going to Savannah makes me want to slap the taste right out of Kenya’s mouth. She’s a fool.  Speaking of fools, I think they may have used a fake house for her move in scene.  Nothing much was moved in and this closet room she is in now looks like an apartment to me. I’m just saying. Batshit crazy Kenya has a firearm.

Porsha is looking at seven thousand dollar gladiator sandals. I am not a shoe person, but I must say that I love them. I hope she tries to buy them on Kordell’s card and the charges go through!  LOL at her stylist saying the $3,500 dollar golden booties are “a little more practical.” I personally hate them.  I have two words for these bitches going to Savannah: Cobblestone Streets. Let’s all take the train out of crazy town and back to sanity now, shall we?  You will probably go to a drag show, and a cemetery tour.  Wait, those shoes might be perfect for the drag show.  If  the Lady Chablis was in town for their visit and they got to see her, I’m going to be hella jealous.  They are not worthy.

Kandi and Mama Joyce meet for a talk. Kandi says that she feels like for the past year she has been very negative about her relationship and everything around her.  Mama Joyce feels like Kandi did not take her side in her fight with Carmon. Um, is Mama Joyce on crack? HER SIDE is that there will be no wedding and Todd is an opportunist who is fucking Kandi’s BFF.  How exactly would Kandi take that side? Kandi says that some of the stuff she was saying was really hurtful to Carmon (not to mention her and Todd). Mama Joyce says they were joking.  WTF? Mama Joyce says Kandi chose Carmon over her. Mama Joyce is lying and playing the victim. Mama says she is she is going to do her best to stay out of the relationship. She is washing her hands of the entire thing. If Todd makes her happy she is happy.  More horseshit I do not believe for a second and neither should you Kandi. I hope Mama Joyce watches this show and realizes what a horses ass she looks like for the way she treats her daughter.

Nene invites the ladies to the Country Club in the neighborhood where she rents and is therefore not eligible to be a member of.  As I get ready to hit play again I am paused on the back of Nene’s head. Nene seems completely oblivious to the fact that she has hair on the back of her head and how atrocious it looks. WHO IN THE HOLY HELL DOES HER HAIR? I cannot bring myself to believe that Mynique is pronounced Monique as Nene does.  It would seem she would know how to pronounce the name of her very good friend…

RHOAneneandgreggfallonGregg is greeting all the ladies with a rose in his seersucker suit. I love him. Oh  well I stand corrected. She does pronounce her name Monique. Kenya is right about Nene living in the boondocks. #Duluth  Once again, everyone is late to a Nene event and she is pissed.

Porsha’s fainting story changes with every episode. Just saying.

They all finally get on the “bus.” Which is TINY and this trip will be from hell. They seem to think Savannah is a short little road trip. I assure you it is not. Kenya goes off on everyone because she had to wait. I agree that she has a right to be irritated. I do not think commandeering the bus and was a smart move.  Kandi unleashes her anger on Kenya. This is probably healthy for her, and Kenya deserves a little misplaced anger.  Kandi will be a whore down if she has to.  Why does Nene just sit there and pee herself while all this is going on?

        Kenya and those stupid songs of hers. I feel like she’s just throwing anything she can out there hoping something will stick like “gone with the wind fabulous”. And that best friend (cough) of hers acts like they’re all so entertaining just so he can get some tv time. Hard to watch.

        Mama Joyce is really scary. The way her voice gets all creepy when she’s saying those mean things. It’s like she’s possessed. Did anyone else catch that she actually seemed to get pissed at baby Ayden? He’s one smart cookie… he was outta there!

    I wanna know if Mam Joyce 7s on medication cuz she may have forgotten to take it. Kandi tried but her mama was feeding her a loaf of caca about butting out. Also, why would you go to her friend and talk about her like she she stupid. It was kinda sad

    Kandi should have used some of that anger and got her mama right. I don’t think she should have spoken to her that way but she should have spoken in a way that Joyce knew she was serious. Kenya got on every inch of my compressed nerves. I hate to hear her speak. I hate to see her bad makeup. I think she should just go away.

    Baby Ayden stole the show. He can read bs when it’s coming

    Mama Joyce is treating Kandi like a paycheck instead of a person. She also seems like she might be dealing with some hormonal issues or maybe some kind of addiction. Its very sad whatever it is. T, did you watch the Jodi Arias Snapped episode tonight? Its a 2 part special.

If it’s not that and she is on any type of prescribed meds, I’d get her butt to the doctor because I think the dosage needs adjusting! I also believe this is not scripted and I feel bad for Kandi 🙁

    Lol, Hayden was not having it with Mama Joyce especially after she forgot his name. Kenya’s unnecessary borrowed closet scene… sigh…fast forward…I feel about Kenya the way you feel about Lily from Shah. Just no. The tardiness was beyond ridiculous Benefits took her butt home rightly so but I guess production reminded her it was mandatory. She couldn’t even get stank about it because Kenya was living up to her name and acting up more than needed. She should change her last name to Extra.

    I am with Kenya on the late issue. I would have left them. 4 hours?! But as usual, Kenya doesn’t know how to speak to ppl…I just wish she would disappear like the vapors. Her storyline is so weak and she’s clamp ring for any attention she can steal.

    This show wasn’t that interesting…Andy kept saying a while back that this was one of the best seasons. I am STILL waiting to see how he came up with that.

    Kenya’s closet was VERY bare. It had plenty of room but she hardly had anything in there. Everything could have easily fit on one rack but she had them sprinkled between them all. I think she knew that she didn’t have a lot of clothes to fill the closet, so she spread them around. Too funny.

    I notice that Porsha’s stories change A LOT. First we hear how amazing Kordell is and how he treats her like a Princess. Then we hear she had to ask her Mom for grocery money. Tonight both Porsha and her sister said that all she had to do when she went shopping was to call Kordell so he could pay for whatever she picked out. Come on little girl, which is it?

    The scene with Ayden was cute, but telling. Young children are very perceptive and can usually read people well. When my children were young, I payed careful attention when my children obviously felt uncomfortable around someone. Little ones can pick up the vibe that something isn’t quite right about some people….and Ayden certainly got it right with Mama Joyce.

      Am I the only one that is surprised at how nice NeNe’s closet is? She clearly had someone come in and design it. All the hangers matched, the boxes were labeled, etc. Nice.

      Is everyone else wondering when Porsha will film an episode without mentioning Kordell? It’s getting old. Matter of a fact, a lot of these storylines are getting old.

        NeNe’s closet was made over by professional closet designers. It was featured on a tv show called “The Amanda’s” that aired on the Style network.

        She had a bedroom that had stacks and stacks of boxes, and racks and racks of clothes, and tons of crap on the floor. The whole bedroom was converted into a closet. From what I saw of the rest of her house, it was EMPTY. At that time she must have sat on her boxes of shoes to watch TV.

How can she be the granddaughter of Hosea Williams, a civil rights leader, and NOT understand the concept of the underground railroad? ….Damn that girl is intellectually lazy for sure…. Instead of spending $3500 on shoes, she should spend that on a couple of college classes.

        Thank you. If only the gays would boycott, we could get to that chicken faster. It is a religious family owned company. The Bible is pretty clear on the gay issue. If they don’t support gay charities (whatever those are) with their $ that is THEIR religious choice and belief. It doesn’t make it mine just because I eat a spicy chicken club and waffle fries there on occasion.

        Just NO to Chik-fil-a. The money you all spend there is actively used to take away gay rights. It’s one thing to simply not agree with gay rights and quite another to actively spend money and campaign to take/keep them away. First the comments about the portrayal of black women on RHOA and now this flippant attitude about Chik-fil-a. I seriously need to reConsider my blog choices.

          Perhaps you should interview the bloggers at your net blog about their opinions and where they spend their money. I’ll help you out.

          1) Who do you vote for and what political party best represents your beliefs? 2) What is your religion? Does it hold an opinion on homosexuality? If so what it the doctrine cited by your religious leaders? 3) Have you ever eaten at Chik-Fil-A? Or Dominos? Or any establishment that donates to charities? 4) Please list everywhere you spend money so that can run a check of each business and their financial contributions. 5) Have you ever said, or associated with anyone who has ever said anything about black women and their hair?

          That should get you started, I am sure you have many,many ISSUES that you feel strongly about. I suggest you apply the same rigorous standards, not just to bloggers, but to anyone you do business with, or are friends with.

          Best of Luck to you in your sanctimonious journey through the world.

However, I am glad to say that I stopped going to Chik-fil-a long before that because that chicken is suspect (nothing tastes that good) and that “My pleasure” shit is creepy!

        I confess to stopping going there when they got a healthier menu. Everything tasted funny after that. Even when you dumped the package of dressing full of poison and pesticides, it was the bread they ruined.

        My gay principal LOVED Chick Fil A and would buy us all chicken and biscuits from there for every morning meeting. Atlanta gays are not boycotting the place. Instead they wear rainbow attire, and Queer Nation tshirts and eat in the dining room. 🙂

    Joyce is the opportunist in the family, not Todd. She is so afraid of losing her meal ticket that she is willing to sabotage her own child’s friendships and love relationships. Disgusting.

    A loving mother would want her child to be happy. Yes, go into your marriage with both eyes open, but after that let the chips fall where they may.

    Joyce can’t do that though. It is as if she wants anyone who can talk sense to Kandi to stay far away from her.

    Kandi should cut Joyce off…and when Joyce inevitably protests, ask, “Who is the opportunist now, Mother?”

Perhaps the bus could have been rented for four hours and now that time is up. Perhaps Nene (Bravo) had non refundable massages booked their arrival. If I was the bus driver, I would cut off the AC.

        My older generations in my family used to say it, tongue in cheek, and never explained it to anyone that asked. If you didn’t know, you weren’t in it, back then. I don’t know that I would say it now, or particularly like anyone else that wasn’t black saying it, other than how we are doing here, in context. Don’t hear it much anymore, in my age group.

    Chick-Fil-A – seriously? I agree, she just lost gay fans. But I did want to hug her when she was at Cynthia’s. That crap Joyce pulled of saying “we was just kidding” was a LIE. Joyce’s sisters were pulling up skirts and practically chest-bumping the friend. She is one cold mom and Kandi should be less passive w/ her. She guilt trips her daughter so bad it was nauseating to watch.

    Love the Lady Chablis reference TT !!! I didn’t know she was still around.

      I agree, Mama Joyce continues to put Khandi in emotional prison and this is probably deeper than we think. She continues to make her daughter out to be a fool on tv, and it is sickening. She lied to Khandi and wants to play the victim and this is probably what she has been doing all of Khandi’s life. “I raised you and I was a single mother, I sacrificed for you and I need you on my side even if I am wrong at all times” It is sad because she continues to play on Khandi’s love for her and makes their relationship unhealthy. Emotional jail. So sad.

    ….I can just see it – years ago, before Todd, Mama Joyce was probably being territorial and grumbling to her sisters, about “that friend, who’s around all the time, wearing Kandi’s old clothes, getting her cast-offs”. Then in rolls Todd, taking Kandi’s time. Here goes Mama Joyce to her sisters “I don’t like him, no worries, he’ll be a cast-off and whats-her-name will take him on”. And poof, just like that, her stories become truth in her head.

    Tamara, you always manage to hit the nail on the head. I absolutely love your blogs. BTW….how many times can you get credit for an ad? If I click and let it play more than once do you get credit?
    I was appalled at Mama Joyce and her visit with Phaedra. I listened closely to some of the things she said to Phaedra and realized that she is broken and she is projecting this on Khandi and her relationship. Khandi mentioned to her mother that Mama Joyce was allowed to make her mistakes with three husbands and that her mother did not interfere, perhaps this is why she is trying to “save” Khandi. She seems to see something that we are not seeing and the statement she made about “If something happens to Khandi, seems like she was really concerning herself with if my daughter marries Todd and she dies then will I be left with nothing. I think it is truly sad that she does not trust her daughter to make any life decisions and worries much about how she needs to live and not worrying about the true happiness of her daughter. Her statements were so off key to Phaedra, it felt a little eerie to me. When she mentioned to Phaedra about introducing her to a lawyer and became upset with Phaedra because she introduced her to Todd, it was then that I knew that only if Khandi would marry what Mama Joyce considered “marrying up” then maybe she would accept that relationship. Perhaps Mama Joyce married for “love” three times and is thinking oh no you don’t Khandi mine did not work out and yours won’t. She called Todd “The Help” While the rest of the normal world calls him a working man. Sorry Tamara for making it so long but I felt the need to share its been so long since I responded to your blog. Thanks again.

    It seems as though Nene likes to plan shit just so she can feel entitled to bitch and complain about everything and everyone. Far from an angel she is! When will Bravo realize it’s often times more entertaining to see the ladies have a fun time and just get chocolate wasted and be. Porsha is unnecessary like Lilly of Shahs and Kenya seems unable to have relationships with woman or at least a decent one. She lacks anything relatable and is so artificial she latches on to anything that can cause her attention even if be It negative. And Kandi, I feel for her but she’s a smart beautiful woman so in the end it will all work itself out and she’ll have a beautiful marriage. Also Tt I’m curious how to maximize your profits on the ads. Can you reclick them or do you have to reenter each blog each time for you to get credit?

    If a child does not like you then there is something wrong with you. Mama Joyce and Ayden. Love Ayden he is so cute and speaks so well.

      What other fake friend did Nene bring in? When Nene speaks up, people say she is over talking people. When she is silent, people are still complaining. If Nene had said something to Kenya and Kandi, then the whole fight scene would have escalated. I think most people just want to see a fight. When, Nene has enough of Kenya, we will all know it. It’s amazing that Kandi can attack anyone else, but her mother. I hope Mama Joyce leaves tham alone!

Being late is a sign of disrespect and they all should of just accepted that the person on time should have a lil time to get her agitation off her chest so since they like have power luncheons on the content of what a text did or didn’t mean! Also, Nene lies, lies, lies, and I hate that she has to throw dirt to feel powerful. Nene wants to find dirty on Kandi because Kandi won’t kiss her butt!

    Feel for Kandi but not because of what’s happening now with out-of-control Mama towards her marrying Todd. Kandi’s more than capable of shutting that down if she wanted without and still not disrespecting her mama. Clearly, mama doesn’t respect Kandi and has shown utter contempt towards her and Todd. What I feel bad for is her growing up with a selfish, thrice-married, probably many times off the rails mama. I feel sorry that she has a mama at this age willing to show her ass on TV and take her shoes off to beat someone’s ass. Kandi should’ve left her mama off-screen. Since she didn’t, maybe it’s all calculated = screen time?

    Sad, the granddaughter of someone supposedly pivotal in the Civil Rights Movement (although I’ve never heard of him before this show), who is showing herself completely ignorant of any such movement. No matter, a 30-something year old black woman from the South not knowing the basic struggles and major events of the movement, pathetic.
    Sorry but the prettiest gal on this show is just a spoiled, little dimwitted girl who had ONE chance to rehab her persona after the big bad Kordel dumped her on Twitter. But since she’s pitifully one-dimensional, she missed that chance.
    Porsha has 2 looks on camera: dumbstruck (mouth hanging open) not knowing what’s going on around her or what the others mean when she’s with the other women; or faux fiery, spewing a rehearsed speech that she invariably misuses words, and/or has NOTHING to do with what is going on in the convo.
    One scene I remember that illustrates how selfish, rehearsed, shallow and clueless she can be: “I’m going through a goddamned divorce! I should be somewhere else, trying to get my COIN together”!
    It must have taken weeks to rehearse that, and she pops up with that when the girls are quizzing Kenya about texting Apollo.

      Yikes, I had the exact same thought about Mama Joyce.

      Kandi seems to be a little too accommodating to her mother’s out-of-control attitude. So are they doing this to get face-time for Joyce? Kinda like becoming the “Mama Elsa” of Atlanta? Except “Mama Joyce” has gone overboard.

      Though I do have to say that last season when Mama Joyce brought up to Kandi about living at the 2nd house, she did NOT like Kandi’s quick negative reaction. Then they showed Kandi saying something to Todd about it and he reacted almost a strongly. Right then and there I knew there were going to be problems with Mama Joyce after she saw that!

    BUT we have “In and Out Burger” – I think I was told, or read, their corporate structure is a right-leaning, Bible-based outfit too – and a secret menu to boot. I’m sure I would have heard if there was a boycott if they said something, but I guess I’m wondering if In-And-Out would be our Chick Fil A?

        In and Out doesn’t take part in anti-gay movements. They are family owned and operated, and the “right-leaning, Bible-based” part of their operation is reflected in the corporate pride in delivering a quality product for a reasonable price. I’ve been to several, and see people of all ages and ethnicities in the kitchen and in the serving area. All employees are clean, in white uniforms and the kitchen and dining areas are usually very clean. The youth they hire are getting good job skills, and most of them seem to be happy, at least when I’ve been there. I’m in favor of good food, courteous, clean employees and clean dining areas. The secret menu is not-so-secret. You can order extra meat patties, extra slices of cheese, burgers without the bun (for protein diets), etc. Nothing anti-anyone about that.

    Mama Joyce, I love her defense but she doesn’t see how she is hurting Kandi. I like Kandi, she’s nice. The whole Todd being an opportunist is lame, but that’s thanks to WW. Carmon shouldn’t be a regular or in scenes anymore.

    Kenya and her antics. That’s all.

        You are exactly right. Even Phaedra knew the real truth. Phaedra’s response to her was plenty transparent. “Now you know Kandi gonna always take care of her mama, mama Joyce”.

        Kandi’s comments in Savannah that she and Todd weren’t on track and their Facetime conversation was transparent too. He’s about to cut and run and I don’t blame him. When Kandi asks “why can’t I find a man?”, someone should tell her it’s her own fault for allowing her mother to control her life. She does find them, can’t keep them.
