On Saturday, Cynthia, Kenya and Claudia faced a long grueling day of filming. Okay, it may have been a long day but it certainly doesn’t sound grueling to me. With all of the various factions on the upcoming season with way too many “housewives” I’m going to refer to these three who seem to be quite happy filming together as Team Pretty.
So Team Pretty was tasked with spending their weekend with a ton of hunky guys because the Bailey Agency was hired by Ebony Magazine to find twenty hot men for the February 2015 issue of Ebony. The ladies spent Saturday at the Sheraton hotel holding an open casting call for successful men between the ages of 28 -50. I guess Kenya got some digits. 🙂 It sounds like a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon to me.
Cynthia told Rodney Ho, blogger for the AJC:
“We’re looking for some real men with real careers,” she said, noting the age range. “This is a different kind of casting. Most of the time I’m seeking much younger models. This time, we aren’t looking for models. We want regular folk: doctors, business owners, good looking men.”
The final selections reported to The Bailey Agency for a photoshoot on Sunday. Let’s hope Kenya behaved herself this time. The last time Cynthia brought Kenya in for a casting call, in one of her first scenes for RHOA things didn’t go so well. Who can forget this debacle with the Jet Magazine casting? But those days are in the past and these days Kenya and Cynthia and Claudia are all fast friends. Or at least they were last time I heard. Anything could have happened since then. 🙂
Speaking of the various factions, Rodney got some great tea on that as well.
She declined to provide plot twists regarding her rocky relationship with NeNe Leakes. She also didn’t comment about the new cast member and actress Demetria McKinney except she is helping McKinney cast for a music video. The show is set to return this fall for a seventh season, though an official date has not been set. “All I can say is it’s good to have new blood,” she said.
If you recall, I have mentioned that Claudia apparently has already read Nene Leakes for filth and Demetria is not getting along with the girls in general and Kenya in particular. I keep saying there are too many women on season seven. Perhaps someone will be cut out entirely in post production? I believe Pam, um I mean Danielle, was initially supposed to be fulltime in RHOOC and was sliced and diced into an FOH in post production so who knows how this will play out. Right now it looks like Team Pretty is tight, Nene is clinging on to Porsha to be her minion as necessary and those two don’t seem to be filming with others much. Phaedra has taken to her house deal with Apollo being off to college and Kandi… well… Kandi was working on her play that was recently cancelled. Let’s just say this cast is not gelling. I can’t wait to see how it all pans out.
Are you excited for Season Seven? One thing I know for sure, things got TURNT UP in Puerto Rico!
Any idea when the new season airs?
Hey tam, I think you have it wrong. Claudia was in Boston all weekend. Demetria was the one there with Cynthia and Kenya. She posted about it on insta…
You do realize that I am quoting from a article straight from the mouth of Cynthia, right? And Claudia’s Instagram shows all of them at STK after casting on Saturday, right?
Did you have something else you wanted to correct me on? Perhaps you should contact Cynthia and tell her that Claudia was not there. Hell, you need to tell Claudia too, and the AJC.
Have a seat.

Dayummm Twirl, Tamara chopped you up like Carolina BBQ with vinegar and HOT SAUCE dayum
Claudia did not head to New England until Sunday. If you view her IG account she was with team pretty at STK post filming Saturday night.
You don’t say!

Kenya is STILL in the cast??! NOOOOO!!! She’s not a housewife. She’s an evil train wreck, a cartoonish joke, & unfortunately Bravo’s continued slap in the face of its viewership’s intelligence. I can hear Linda Richman from here: “I’ll give you a topic: The Real Housewives of Atlanta…they are neither real nor housewives. Talk amongst yourselves.”
You forgot to mention they are also not from Atlanta.
That said, there is a large Team Twirl following here for now. We tend to change our minds from season to season, but of the trainwrecks next season, Kenya is probably going to be the least annoying of the bunch.

I love Kenya. Bravo gave her the bitch/crazy edit. She makes great TV.
My favorite Kenya moments are when she’s away from the other women, and with her “real friends”….such as Miss Lawrence. Kenya, I think, is most real in those moments. She likes to laugh, and I like that.
I love Kenya!
Tamara do you know when ATL housewives will be done filming? It’s really no point in nene, porsha or phaedra being on anymore when all the ones I see filming together are Cynthia, Kenya, Claudia, Demetria and Kandi.
Not really sure. I agree with the comments about nene Porsha an Phaedra. Those three have all been marginalized for the season. Phaedra not as much, I think she is just doing the best she can, which is filming from home a lot. Nene and Porsha, I was told from the beginning would be “doing something different” which was put a lot of different ways as the filming progressed.
Now that Nene has a Broadway gig beginning at the end of next month, they may want to film some of the beginnings of that. The filming logistics this season are the biggest clusterfuck of all time. But I hold out hope for a great season with limited Nene and Porsha! 🙂
Who is the lady in gray on the left? She reminds me of Lisa Nicole from Married to Medicine for some reason.
Yeah she looks just like Lisa Nicole.
Why hate on Kenya? She doesn’t have to be from Atlanta. The producers selected her for the show to keep the show successfully on the air. DUH! Kenya is an asset to the show.
In the last interview that Andy did with Kenya she hinted at possibly having a child this season. I wonder if that will be part of her storyline…
I ADHERE TO ALL THE COMMENTING RULES BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO GET BANNED.
LOL 5 Tokens for sucking AND reading the commenting rules!
And I love Kenya but the baby story is bullshit. I mean she may actually be going through that whole OMG I AM STILL SINGLE AND ALMOST TOO OLD TO HAVE A BABY thing, but as someone who has been there done that, I don’t think she is really going to shoot some random sperm into her womb.
I could be wrong. And if she really wants one, more power to her, but I don’t think it’s a real possiblility. She can always by a baby from Malawi later on and save that hard body she has worked for if she really wants a kid.

Whoo hoo, thank you for the tokens, TT. Definitely sucking up!
I agree that it wont be a physical pregnancy storyline however, I was curious because Kenya has a video of a little boy pulling her hair on her twitter account after saying she had a big important meeting. She made it seem like she may have already purchased the kid from Malawi when Madonna & Angie werent looking!
Demetria definitely has bitchy resting face syndrome in every picture Ive ever seen of her. This one is definitely not going to be meek about bringing on the drama. Hopefully it is more with Nene than Kenya. I hate the whole storyline of them fighting over Roger Bobb or Mudd or whatever his name was.
I am liking team pretty. And I can’t wait for team pretty to give it to Nene and Phaedra. I am so happy that they’re filming in team. Which means, I can fast forward Meme , Kandi, Porsha and Phaedra’s scenes. I really hope that Demetria brings it so they can cut Porsha out for good.
Demetria is not team pretty. 🙂

Yay team pretty! I can’t wait for this season. I wish Marlo was on the cast though.
Me too. I miss Kenya giving the rest of the cast books for dummies.
I can’t wait to see Nene get taken down a notch or several hundred. Not that she’d GET IT. Her paling around with Kandi and Phaedra, with Porsha trailing after her, is beyond hilarious.
We are back to season 4.
Team Pretty is an accurate name for them. Everyone is really beautiful. Nene, Phaedra, Kandi and Porcha are decent looking after tons of makeup.
I am still trying to forget Kandi’s Woody Woodpecker do from a few years ago.
Gallons upon gallons of spackle, caulk and glue for these gals.
I think Kenya understands the game. By the time she came on the scene it was clear to everyone that the point of the show was to give the audience people to laugh at. She’s laughing with us, all the way to the bank. The rest of them actually think they are ….. I dunno relevant?

I think they all are aware of the game. I think the viewers take them too seriously.
I think you give them too much credit, but for their sake, I hope you are right. 🙂

did porsha ever go to court in regards to Kenya pressing charges
I dunno. I should ask about that.

I think that Kandi,Kenya, and Phadrea, Claudia, are good cast members to Real Housewives of Atlanta; however Porshea brings her own spin in that she keeps in the “know” with the cast. I’m not understanding what role do she play in this cast she really doesn’t have any thing outside this production going for herself to stay relavent. Jessica from Maryland
You mean other than the two other shows she is on and her many business?
