I’ve had sort of a stressful evening so I am sipping the hell out of some wine and loading all the weapons and taking the collar off the attack dog in case he “gets loose.” So don’t sweat me about this Real Housewives of Atlanta recap. I may or may not have to stop and drag a body or three over the threshold but, but we will get through this.
Is the first HW of the evening and she is visiting Claudia who is the first person mentioned in the official description of this episode. Who is the HBIC now?
Claudia gets the intro on the same scene. MMMMhmmm Claudia has a stunning corner apartment with a view of the whole city. Claudia is so city girllllll *SCHREEEECCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHH* Holy fuck. Red solo cups. I can’t. Please give me a minute to compose myself as these two Yankees get all Kim Zolciak (born Yankee) and act all white trash. I can’t. I really can’t. OMG! Kenya acknowledges the problem. Kindly and gently and points out that is what winos do. THANK YOU KENYA. Frankly, I have heard that the girls do it for the same reasons they don’t eat during restaurant scenes. Production makes them do it for continuity. You know, full glass empty glass. full glass again issues. I’m sorry I just would not be able to comply. It’s a travesty.
OMG! AGAIN! Claudia is not understanding the situation and reads Kenya for this comment in her talking head.
There are two kinds of people in this world. People who serve people wine in a red Solo cup in their home and people who do not. I LIVE IN THE MOTHER FUCKING HOOD and I would never do this in a million years. I also serve beer in chilled glasses and co-cola in a drinking glass with ice even when my dates with no home training tell me it is not necessary. IT IS FUCKING NECESSARY. As far as the beer goes, after we’ve er…. gotten to know each other ….a bottle is fine. But a canned beer will go in the glass every last time until I pass out on the floor in a puddle of vomit. BECAUSE I HAVE CLASS! Do NOT argue with me about this, you miscreants. You will not win!
Moving on. Claudia is a cat person. Dear God, Kenya promised we would like this chick. I agree with Kenya. No pussy for Kenya, No pussy for Tamara. Unless I’m in Canada and it’s really cold. Also, Claudia you are tiny. Why is your shirt too small? I don’t like Claudia’s hair in her talking heads. And why is she putting together IKEA in that highrise. That is what us ghetto living girls do.
KANDI
Kandi goes to her Fayetteville house with Todd because she is going to sell it since her mother decided not to move in. Kandi even mentioned that her mother did not want it because it was not in her name. #$$$$ She never wanted to live all the damn way out there anyway. Meanwhile, Mama Joyce’s “boyfriend” ( really *shudder*) has demolished the house in the name of “starting rennovations.” This has better be storyline because if it was not I would drop kick my Mama to Mexico. Because there is like 50K in damages. Todd wonders when Kandi is ever going to hold her mother accountable. Kandi trashes Todd (?!?!) in her talking head for always having negative things to say about her mother. Kandi’s entire storyline is “reasons Todd should never have married Kandi.” Given the fact Todd’s mother recently died of a stroke, I’d say that production probably regrets that storyline now. But, truth is truth.
Later Kandi goes to MaryMac’s with her aunts. She tells them about all the damage. Kandi says Mama Joyce’s man is using her for her money. LOL. She says she loves Sharon. The aunts say they want Sharon and Mama Joyce to get back together. This scene seems edited in after Sharon’s untimely death.
Cynthia is so sick of Nene bad mouthing her in interviews. Cynthia says Nene acts like she would be open to talking things out with Cynthia about things. She brings us the Kenya and Nene charity event where she jumped all over her husband but editing makes it seem like it is the situation where Kenya made the donation and Nene failed to match it. #Editing But still both situations make Nene look vile.
Cynthia says that for her the unraveling of their relationship was when Nene showed her ass at the charity event that Kenya threw for Nene’s fake charity. Cynthia is not allowed to mention that “Nene’s favorite charity” is some bullshit. Then Peter says he was over her once she decided to call him a bitch. Which they replayed for the Nenetard’s who fall for Nene’s historical rewrites. What she said was, “STOP TRYING TO BE A DAMN BITCH!” Which of course in Nene’s world, standing up for her submissive husband to the Jamaican man because she looks like a man and carries around a couple of testicles in her pocketbook, is called “being a great friend to Cynthia.”
Cynthia says that it wasn’t just the bitch comment to her husband that ended the relationship. She put up with too much for too long and she is not having it any more.
I dunno why the hell Phaedra painted that house white in Atlanta. I loved the pretty peach color. Last I heard, she was abandoning (postponing) her fight to erect a GIANT FENCE with a swing gate in front of the house since her neighbors had a fit about her “special zoning request because she is as celebrity.” These reality people and their privacy shit. Phaedra’s children run loose in the street all the time despite the numerous full-time nannies and babysitters and her petition for a zoning variance was something about “all the paparazzi wanting pictures of her children.” Are you kidding me?
We are back to the first look scene that you can rewatch the first few minutes here. Did you ever notice how so many RHOA are turning into Kim Biermann? One is desperately trying to be the new blond wig wearer and another seems to have had the post baby work done while cooking in her kitchen with no bra on… #Tea. #BlindItemRevealed Is that a post operative abdominal wrap? And why do the neighbors always miss the other housewives arriving? They must have been out and about when Kandi showed up for this scene.
Phaedra Parks, southern belle, woman of extreme religious credibility, daughter of pastors, and wife of a clean man, explains to us in a talking head that Kenya the whore who hired a boyfriend (um I don’t think that is how whores work but Phaedra knows better than I..) and “tried to rent the African man” Well you see… dear… whores are the ones who ARE rented. If you want to call her a whore then say she is flying to Africa to BE A whore. Because it is not necessary to rent a man from Africa when Atlanta is full of hot gay male actors who would LOVE to play the part of her man on TV. Plus, Kenya tried to put a stop to this rumor seasons ago STANDING IN THE AIRPORT WITH HER TICKET TO LAGOS IN HER DAMN HAND and posting the picture on INSTAGRAM. A well a pictures of her in Nigeria. And articles about her in OK! Magazine Nigeria (yeah I didn’t know that was a thing either) and the scene on RHOA where Nene made fun of her African man that she met, and…. oh I feel for Kenya. Why bother at this point.
But now Phaedra Parks, the paragon of religious values would like to claim that Kenya paid off Apollo to clear her name before her clean man, with whom she has been creeping with on air mattresses in the ghetto to perform her head doctor duties because he was under house arrest and wearing a leg monitor, goes off to prison AGAIN for the same damn thing he was doing when she picked him up is the real whore here. #DEEPBREATH. Are you fucking kidding me you sociopathic lunatic? NO ONE BELEIVES YOU ANYMORE.
Kenya is “trying to clean her character up?” And by the way, you seem a bit slurry with your words in your talking heads. I’m just saying. You should have had the lipo on your arms while you were “taking a few days off because of your husband’s issues.”
Oh look a Nene credit! Brentt learns to drive. Gotta FF. I am already an hour late with this…No time for the reworked Nene scenes so that she can have a peach.
Same with Claudia ‘s next scene working out with Kenya. I’m very behind. Heh. Heh. Behind. Okay I paused to see what they are talking about. Mama issues. I cant do that tonight.
THE DINNER.
Kandi is there first and Phaedra arrives next. Phaedra and her holy roller bullshit arrives next. I’ve studied the bible quite a bit in my life. I have a Koran that I read from time to time but confess as to not being as familiar with, mostly because my copy is about five inches this because it is Arabic on one side and English on the other. I do not hold myself out as a religious person, but I have a pretty good grasp on the concepts. And if there is one true thing I know about religion it is that Phaedra Parks will spend an eternity in hell. If we are all not going to heaven, like the Pollyanna’s think, and there is a heaven and a hell as the Bible specifically states, then, Phaedra Parks will have a VIP pass to Hades. She needs to read about false prophets and those who mislead and twist the word of God for their own benefit. One of the most commonly quoted verses of the Bible that she uses as a shield is about a woman who has committed adultery…. it’s the whole ” let ye who is without sin cast the first stone” shit. And everyone scampered. It’s in I believe all four of the first for books of the New Testament if she needs further guidance. But from a cunt who has her first spawn of Satan brought in on a litter into a church service all about him, I can see how she would not get that. This is when I was done with Phaedra Parks. She is a sociopath and a heretic.
Phaedra says a prayer (and Kandi is laughing) “Well honey, we might just need to have a word of prayer before these heffers get here. Lord, intervene Holy Spirit. We come against everything that is not of You , Lord. We come against whores, we come against liars, we come against of anything that is not of God. Amen”
I’d like to point out that this cunt is up in any pulpit that will take her and is tryna be the new Al Sharpton throwing himself in front of any camera where a black person might get some TV time on a news station. She’s way worse than Nene. Phaedra is a sociopath. It’s scary. Like I am not sure I can watch this season scary.
OMG Cynthia went from looking STUNNING in her talking head to some new thing with HIDEOUS blue eye shadow. I cannot believe what I am seeing.
Kenya arrives next. Cynthia and Kandi greet her with kisses. Kenya smiles at Phaedra and says “Hi Phaedra” kinda like I did at my Thanksgiving dinner this year when the asshole brigade started to roll in. Last year, the dude climbed in the window to wait for me to leave my own family function. This year, he jumped out of the bushes and went in the front door when I left. Sadly, I was only loading the car. He could have laid there in the bushed for an extra 15 minutes but what’s the saying about a fat kid to cake? And the hummingbird cake really was that good. So I just took mine to go.
Anyway, say what you will about Porsha but her sugardaddy has her looking pretty with new tits, great hair and makeup and a lovely frock. Too bad she could not keep him. He was a good look for her. Too bad sugardaddy’s can’t buy brain implants. I guess that would be counterproductive.
And then came Nene along with the depressing music courtesy of production. What is that white shit she is wearing? And why doesn’t it fit? I must say this is my favorite wig she wears but I like more fingercurls. If she insists on being a blonde, I like this one, so sue me. In Nene’s talking head she says she is not interested in being in any negative environment. I actually believe her. She has things going on, she just did a Vegas show that was about half full and mostly remembered her lines which were not funny. That’s got to be fun! But sadly, she has made pretty much everyone on this cast and in production despise her, so negative it will be.
Kandi says she has everyone come so they could all move forward (for the new season). Kenya says that there is a big elephant in the room.
No, not that one…..she means this one…
Kenya explains that she appreciates Apollo admitting he lied about her and that she would appreciate that moving forward they would extend her the benefit of the doubt because that is what she would do. Nene jumps right in and says she never called Kenya a whore… Kenya says she didn’t BUT SHE DID. Kenya is just not being argumentative. Kenya and Nene seems to be making amends… but the Reverend’s child who just prayed for God’s holy spirit to encompass the evening is either speaking in tongues or speaking under her breath.
Kenya asks what she is muttering about. Phaedra Parks, bastion of truth and wife of a clean man says, ” I’ll say it loud and clear, I called you a whore and I called you a slut because if it look (sic) like a duck and quack (sic) like a duck and it’s yella and is swim (sic) in a pool it’s a duck.” Phaedra says cunty shit and Kenya says “I forgive you Phaedra..” Kandi asks if they can take a break. Kenya says yes.
Who is the forgiving one in this scene and who is the cunt?
Kandi says she felt like what Apollo said was the truth. Kandi says she now feels like she felt Kenya was owed an apology. Nene says “Do you support Kenya or Phaedra?” Always trying to draw the lines, Nene. Kandi says she always supports Phaedra and is offended Nene would ask.
AHA! This is how Nene wormed her way into getting Phaedra on her side while she (Nene) had no allies…
Phaedra says something about not holding Kenya responsible for the lies another has told. A non apology apology.
Then the Cynthia and Nene issue is replayed from here.
I can’t rehash this again. I will say, I still like this Nene hair the best.
Next week Mama Sharon takes on Mama Joyce.
Cynthia, despite her bravado, really missed Nene.
are they crying and making up in next week’s episode?
I doubt it. Cynthia wants to be in the “click”. Kenya & Claudia’s click, I think they call themselves “the pretty girls”. Kandi & Phadrea don’t cut it.
WE (TT) call them the pretty girls.
Cynthia and Kenya are co-founders of Team Pretty, she cant “want” to be part of a club that she created.
Mama Joyce tore up the house Kandi gave her and had to nerve to ask for another one! Speechless. And Kandi bought her a new house! Flatline.
What does “flatline” mean in the context in which you used it, luvlee2u? I see comments with that terminology. Now that I’m no longer in school settings, I don’t know any cutting edge lingo. When one has “flatlined” – does that mean that he/she has screwed up? TIA
It means she’s dead. As in the machine in the hospital that monitors your heartbeat has stopped or “flatlined.”
Ok. Thx Epi; however “dead” doesn’t seem applicable to the various contexts in which *flatline* has been used. I was familiar with the standard medical terminology.
I think it means she’s like, dead from the shock of Kandi buying her mom a new house after all that.
TT, I was worried…Read your tweets and then when I didn’t see the RHOA recap up for a few hours I got nervous! Glad you’re okay! Great recap….I have to say I do think Nene really cares about Cynthia. I’m a new commenter here (though a longtime reader), and I know I’ll probably get some flack for being a Nene fan/Kenya hater, but I’m excited to be here!
I’m sorry I didn’t mean to worry anyone. I just had an issue and drank and typed slower. I am sure I am probably overreacting.
but the cops came and he/she stopped driving back and forth at five miles an hour. so thanks Cobb County PD. for checking out the light blue mercury who was stalking me all afternoon license plate BPR 6885 I believe that is public record now…
We have a name now anyway… and documentation her if anything happens to me…
So glad you’re alright and that the cops got to the bottom of it….I’m *dead* at you putting her on blast right now. Yes, TT, slay the bitch!
Glad you did that TT. Now you have it on record if you fear for you life again. It’s now in black and white and this person has been warned. At least that person knows you know and knows that you know that she knows lmao. Now she better step back if she knows what’s good for her.
OMG!! TT, be safe!!! We love you!
TT…another great recap! I love Cynthia’s talking head in the blue, serving up high fashion and yet another dimension of her beauty.
It is definitely a high fashion look, and, though an odd choice for a sit-down, it’s not like we get 30 seconds on Cynthia on the catwalk… Though I wish we did! She’s so pretty!
She is pretty, but Peter is so UGLY!
Greetings fellow Minnesotan!
Wait, whut? Joyce has a boyfriend? One who has been living with her and sponging off of
JoyceKandi? And Joyce has the nerve, the GALL to go after Todd? Oh NO. Joyce, you are GARBAGE!Classic case of projection…
AND deflection.
Of course NeNe doesn’t know what she ever did to Cynthia because she never lets the woman speak before she’s raising her voice about how she’s been such a good friend to her. If Cynthia’s feelings were hurt by NeNe then NeNe should let Cynthia express what those feelings are. She did the same thing to Kim. She never let her talk and was always jumping down her throat.
And Nene can’t express herself without cursing. Not only did she not let Cynthia get a word in edgewise tonight, “she went in on her” as Kandi said. I am going to be disappointed and done with Cynthia if she really tries going back to being friends with a woman who curses at her, never lets her explain her side and never sees herself in the wrong. That is not a friend. If Cynthia decides to go back to being her doormat … well…. I have no nice words to say so I will just leave it at that.
I think their was genuine love between the two women. Was Cynthia really truly a friend? Because I might be hurt, or get mad, and maybe even distance myself from my friend, but to talk shit about her, and say I will never be friends again, tells me something really serious must of happened.
They really dragged this episode out. Did Nene ask Kandi if she was on Apollo’s or Phaedra’s side or was it Kenya and Phaedra? I was deep into a brownie sundae during that scene.
Tamara, did you see Andy shade the hell out of Sheree and her chateau? I couldn’t believe Nene answered so diplomatically. I thought about it and Sheree has to be kicking herself over allowing Nene to steal all of her ideas and successfully complete them. Sheree tried her hand at acting, a local Dancing with the Stars contest, and a fashion line. As bad as Nene’s been at all three, she pulled them off.
I know this will sound like shade but If Andy asked about Chateau Sheree I totally missed it. I swear the whole time I was pissed I was missing a Christmas movie. I LOVE CHRISTMAS MOVIES!
Fun recap. My favorite Christmas movie is “A Pocket Full of Miracles”, though I must say, my… allergies tend to act up toward the end.
1. Nene said “Apollo or Phaedra’s side”
2. Yep, Andy did ask how Chateau Sheree is doing.
Linethia has no idea how to be a friend. If you aren’t kissing her wide behind you are not being a good friend. She makes me sick. Over the Fakedra and Kenya garbage. When will that airhead Porsha be phased out? I am tired of her.
I thought no one could beat out Nene for being the biggest cunt-icicle but Phaedra proved me wrong. As always great recap and I hope your night had gotten better TT.
Miss Phaedra was a disgusting mess last night. She’s still repeating lies about Kenya and did she say that Kenya paid Apollo to lie to clear up her reputation. Then if Apollo can be so easily bought did she herself pay him to marry her. She really did marry her a prince didn’t she.
Phaedra is very angry, bitter and unforgiving. Her heart is hard and I wouldn’t be surprised if deep down she hates Kenya. In listening to her prayer, and how judgmental it was, she better hope for her sake that she’s actually forgiven herself. She was speaking so many empty words as if God was really listening to that foolishness.
I guess I’m the only one who liked Cynthia’s blue eye shadow. Grant it, it’s not my favorite look of hers, but it was exotic & striking and she’s gorgeous enough to pull it off.
I loved it too!! Maybe it was not her most flattering look but I appreciate that she always does interesting things with her look and goes there. The blue literally mesmerized me.
I LOVED her navy blue eye shadow. Like angienc said, Cynthia can pull off any look. But why does Phaedra always look like she got her makeup done at the Fashion Fair counter circa 1986? So tacky!
I wrote (positively) about it above.
I thought blue eye shadow when out with the 60s or was it the 70s? I don’t think I have ever wore blue eye shadow in my life. But black women look great in all the exotic colors.
Something about darker “palette” makes it amazing all the colors black women can often pull off… makes me jealous!
It wasn’t the frosted blue of the 60s though — it was more like electric peacock blue. Unusually & funky, IMO.
Prediction:
Nene will be the one to come between Kandi and Phaedra. When the reunion comes Kandi will finally beat Nenes ass.
Boy do I hope so! Ive been wanting Kandi to kick her ass since Kandi came on the show.
I agree we all saw the moment Nene put doubt in Phaedras mind about Kandi’s friendship. I called it the moment it happened
Nene is the one who advanced the theory that Apollo lied about lying about Kenya as a way to hurt Phaedra. Nene created reasonable doubt about Kandi’s loyalty to Phaedra at that dinner. Yes, Ms. Leakes’ doubts will be the wedge that comes between the bffs by the end of the season.
Lol, are you serious? Kandi is about 5 foot tall, and Nene 6 feet. She might nip at her heels, but their wont be no beat down.
I don’t usually watch Atlanta, but happened to have it on in the background. I agree with you, that if Nene is determined to be blond, that short finger waved wig looks good.
I agree about having the proper glass even while you’re sleeping in your own drool. I will drink grape juice in a wine glass just because it makes grape juice feel a little decadent.
Oh, TT! You are so hilariou between taking the collar off the attack dog and the red solo cups. I’m still laughing. Kim said she likes red solo cups because “wine glasses sometimes smell.” Really? Nowhere in my extensive drinking career have I ever encountered a wine glass so smelly that I couldn’t drink from it. Perhaps Kroy spat a chaw into Kim’s glass.
I read your re-cap and caught a little of this episode when I woke up about 11 pm.
It looks like we are in for another season of “he said, she said” carryover from last season. Much ado about nothing. Everybody talking over everyone else at yet another “make-up” dinner. I’ll need a gallon of Paisano straight out the bottle to get through all their bullshit if this continues.
Oh wait, Kim and Nene just came on WWHL. Haven’t seen this yet. Kim just said she brought her red solo cup all the way from Georgia with her. Now that’s class!
HAHAHA! “Wine glasses sometimes smell.” I had never heard that; thanks for sharing.
And Ms. T, you just hold to your glass etiquette and let us know if you need help with the bodies. Thanks for the delicious tea.
Wine glasses smell? What the what? No, red solo cups smell…like plastic. Mmmm, tasty!
SMH wow…great recap and exactly what the deal was tonight. I hope Cynthia and Nene can get back together. Kim and Nene were on with Andy tonight and that was nice to see right now. I would love to see Phaedra and Kenya make peace and stay in peace. Can they all just get along this season. I do like Claudia and of course I really like Porsha. You never know what will happen with Porsha and I like that every Sunday. hehe IJS Thanks Tamara, another great sip of some good tea!
Once again there was no coherent conversation between Nene and Cynthia because Nene wont shut up. I think it would have been perfect for Cynthia to have said-“Nene, I flushed our friendship because I can never get a word in edgewise.”
There is something very special awaiting Phaedra out there – hopefully in the way of 40 count federal indictment. Love the inside dirt on Ms. Phaedra’s neighborhood. Thanks Tamara.
You mean the way Cynthia wouldn’t shut up when she was talking down to Porsha? Where was all her bravado last night?
Phaedra, you are the duck. Quack. Quack.
Howling with laughter.
Me too – the head doctor and 3 am booty call has the nerve to call someone else a whore – projection much Phaedra.
Tee hee hee.
TT, glad you are okay! I started to worry when I didn’t see the recap after first showing. Anyway, spot-on recap. Phaedra’s ‘prayer’ was a hot mess. I was SMDH. For some reason she didn’t include thieves, swindlers and federal convicts when she was invoking the spirit. During the meeting, Kenya took the high road, even when Phaedra came for her with that duck comment. Nene was her usual arrogant, overbearing self. She knew she was dead ass wrong which is why she was shouting over Cynthia. And finally…… Mama Joyce needs her ass whoopped for letting that dude mess up Kandi’s house like that while she was going in on Todd. Again, SMDH.
Thanks for the recap, TT. Have a good night! And get your felony bail money ready, just in case somebody acts the damn fool. Either be good or be discreet:)
TT, I love you and I follow your blog every week but your writing comes off as if you may be a bit inebriated tonight!lol!
What gave it away? Was it the first sentence of the blog where I said I was freaking out over a stalker and gulping wine? Or was that too subtle?
I didn’t realize TT’s first sentence was a warning that what was to follow was Jabberwocky.
For my own selfish amusement, I encourage large quantities of late night alcohol consumption (yours not mine); the result of which can sometimes be jaw droppingly funny..Bottoms up.
The gym scene between Kenya and Claudia was actually one of my favorites of the night – totally fast forwarded the driving shit.
I’m calling it now and will forever believe it – Joyce and her boyfriend are total druggies ala Kim Richards with that one sleezy guy a few years back.
Clearly Joyce has been under the influence in many a scene, and I actually believe Kandi when she says she doesn’t drink – TOTAL METHHEAD BEHAVIOR to go from room to room tearing shit up before actually starting to improve any one section. Plus I’m pretty sure he has a pony tail. That’s all the evidence I need.
Can you imagine what the new house is going to look like once Joyce is through with it? I can totally see her as a deadbeat slob, rolling in at 5am and eating potatoe chips off her stomach, coming down after a long night of gambling.
“eating potato chip off her stomach,” I can’t. You are too funny.
Oh, E.B.Calm—-
I tried to warn you to look away. I told you—once seen—- you would never forget them. In fact, you would compare every other womens features and attributes against them, just like you did tonight. Kim’s eyebrows are the Mount Rushmore of reality TV.
This dark blue was a miss. In one of her talking heads for last season, she wore a sparkly lighter blue ….that was gorgeous on her!
I don’t know why people think Kenya is going to be the new HBIC! I’m predicting it’s going to be Claudia.
Are they in pre-school?
Really? “Who’s side are you on?”
for real?
I wish I could quit this show.
I still have no sympathy for Kenya and what she had to endure for the last 2 years…because she was the one who caused all that shit for herself, nobody told her to open her mouth about the inappropriate text messages that she and Apollo were sending back and forth that was all on her I guess she thought it was going to make Phaedra and Apollo look bad but boy did it backfire on her and I’m glad Bravo showed those flashbacks to season 5 which showed how she behaved with Apollo BEFORE textgate even happened… But she won’t admit to doing any wrong its never her fault its everyone else’s. Deflection by Bravo
Delusion by BPrice
And how is that delusion when it was on tape? Don’t worry take your time to reply
I mean big deal she jokingly asked a question about a foursome. In a group of girls that talk about eating sugar out of their pussies, what’s the fuss about?
If Phaedra was a normal, secure person it would have just been something funny to laugh off.
This is exactly right Psylocke. Kenya was just trying to get attention and it worked. She turned Apollo on and Phaedra off, but they both gave her what she wanted. Kenya knows how to play.
Exactly!
Darn…TT went in on this recap. Phaedra is disgusting. Nene is angry and mean spirited and inarticulate – that’s why she yells and talks over people. I’m slowly losing interest in these ladies.
I think you need to go a bit easy on Phaedra for having work done. ALL these bitches have had work done (ok..except maybe Kandi). If you’ve had 2 children in 3 years and breastfed them both, you’d see why she went under the knife. Hell, I’d have my boobs done but I’m too scared. I’m really liking Claudia right now…but I’m afraid about what’s to come. Kandi’s mom is an asshole and Kandi is a sucker. I still think Kenya is full of shit. Porsha is just like…nothing. Why is she still here? I don’t know what to make of Cynthia and nene’s relationship. Part of me feels like she took a left turn because it will keep her a spot on the show and another part of me feels like she just didn’t want to be seen as Nene’s lap dog anymore. Either way, I think she really misses Nene, but can’t go back now.
Phedra’s insult about Kenya were about her “silicon”, fake boobs, butt, etc. So its hypocritical to run out and get plastic surgery when that was one of her main insults. I don’t see anything wrong with getting work done but don’t put down another like Phaedra did for years.
You’re right, but wasn’t that after Kenya started with the workout video fuckery? I think Phaedra started on about that implying Kenya was mostly fake and it would be hypocritical for her to claim exercise is to thank for her body. And just as a side note: I think Kenya’s booty is fake and looks ridiculous. If her boobs are fake, I need to speak with her Dr. because they are lovely.
The same two women who were talking so much trash about Kenya have now lost both their husbands, have gone out and got plastic surgery, and are both looking like hypocrites. They just need to live their lives and move along with all the negativity.
Wait……..Mama Joyce has a boyfriend and I’m still single? YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this comment.
Nene claimsCynthia is mad about her comments about Peter, so why does Nene continue to repeat the insults about Peter if she knows Cynthia doesn’t like it? Nene is jealous of Cynthia because Cynthia has the ole man Nene wishes Gregg was. Cynthia has a good relationship with her baby daddy and husband while Nene had to have a baby with Gregg after he already had over 4 kids. Who’s a fool? So now Nene is the judge of all things right by loud talking Cynthia? Child please, ride off on your horse and waive your ET finger bye while riding off in the pasture of “your a non factor”! Oh, Phaedra how will you or did you explain to your pasture mother and friends your got proposed to on an air mattress!
Porsha is just too stupid for words, however last week she couldn’t get a word in edgewise w/Cynthia but last night Nene goes off on Cynthia & she cowards down! Where was all that energy she displayed w/Porsha?
Nene is very immature & unreasonable when things don’t go her way. I believe when Cynthia had financial problems due to Peter’s poor investments, Nene came to her rescue which is why Nene said “when no one else was there for you, I had your back.” And for that reason Nene believes she was a REAL GOOD FRIEND; money talks, BS walks!
Phaedra has relied on Kenya & Apollo’s rumors to comfort & distract her as she struggles with the REALITY of her life. If what Apollo stated is true where does that leave her? She has to believe these things about Apollo & Kenya to gain sympathy but mostly to survive.
Phaedra is in denial as to who & what she has become (phony & dishonest) as she continues to rant on about her good name. She is embarrassed by the truth (sleeping with an ex-con on an air mattress in the projects) & Angela Stanton’s allegations (exposing her possible involvement in crimes). I will admit that I loved her hair & make-up in the kitchen scene w/Kandi.
In spite of what many want to believe about Kenya, she is decent. There was so much she could have said to & about Phaedra but she chose to say “I forgive you Phaedra.” Phaedra is probably at the lowest point ever in her life, most can see that & I believe Kenya does; you don’t kick a man when he down.
I agree Kenya fights fair. Nene did state one correct thing about Phaedra and Kenya which was their fight started out about the work out video that Phaedra tried to play Kenya with and when Phaedra realized Kenya had business since and was beautiful, let the hate begin!
No ma’am. If Nene had given or loaned Cynthia one thin dime, you can trust that she would have let everyone and their mama know that 99 99 times already. Trust that. Nene might have thought she was a good friend, but she proved during that dinner why she doesn’t have a single one. She runs them all away with her disrespect and territorial insecurity.
“Too bad sugardaddy’s can’t buy brain implants. I guess that would be counterproductive.” This is the best line I’ve ever read in the history of EVER!
Ok… I usually read the recaps at the other site. but I come here sometimes.. because you can be hilarious. Today, you are just plain disrespectful.. as a black woman.. well a woman period.. The use of the “C” word is wayyy over the top. I find it offensive.
You should probably go back to where you came from then. Have a good one.
I’m pretty sure everyone finds it offensive. That is why I chose the word. To offend. See how that works?

Is TT only disrespectful “as a black woman.. well a woman period”? What about as a Nene? Would that be disrespectful?
Not sure you can handle this site… Watch out, The Internet is a scary place!
So it dawned on me that everyone has been focusing on Nene calling Peter a bitch but what about the fact that she insinuated that she was a bad mother for allowing her daughter to date. That would be the end of a friendship for me.
Yep I think it was a lot of things for Cynthia and she just reached her limit with Nene.
Exactly!!!! That would have been it for me too. She didn’t have to do anything else to me, that would have been it.
First, thanks for the great recap…I was truly having a hard time watching that crap last night. As for Phaedra..I never liked her, never will and wish she’d go away. Cynthia is a mess IMO, sure she’s beautiful but her brain is only slightly more functional than Porsha’s. She needs to lay off of the weird eye shadow too.
Nene never changes but I do believe that she cares for Cynthia and I don’t understand why Cynthia is so hostile considering that they were friends after the reunion and all went out as couples too. Storyline is my only conclusion.
Mama Joyce is trash and evil and the more I see and hear Kandi the more I can’t stand her. She doesn’t deserve Todd and in lieu of the recent death of Sharon, some of the scenes were highly inappropriate and ridiculous. They could have edited some of that out.
Todd needs to run away and run fast. Kandi is not the nice person she’d like us to believe that she is and her compulsive need to defend and pamper her evil mother proves it. Buying that creep a new house after she wrecked the first one is just lame.
The show has lost my interest. Claudia is boring and Kenya is just too loud. I have to turn down the sound whenever she comes on because she gives me a headache. Nene is the same old, same old in every scene and the rest are useless and nothing REAL exists on this show unless Atlanta is full of REAL morons (which I doubt) these women should not be representing. I am a fan of NONE of them.
Cynthia is VERY articulate, and most importantly, conscionable and self-aware. How you can even compare her to Porsha is beyond me.
And you have it totally twisted – what wasn’t clear by Cynthia saying the whole reason she’s so angry is that nene has pretty much gone on a press tour to talk about their relationship – blogs, interviews, tweets, nene WON’T stop talking about her (even after the reunion where she said she wouldn’t talk about it and wouldn’t let CYNTHIA use it as a storyline).
Tamara, I think Phaedra is a sociopath too, always thought so. She couldn’t care less about where Apollo is going.
So we know she had her boob job and lipo, but what has she done to her face? Did she have lipo under the chin? She looks different, I can’t put my finger on it.
Claudia’s smedium sized shirt drove me nuts! I posted on Facebook immediately when I saw it. That shirt was pulling on all of her boobs and armpits! Whew OK I think I feel better now.
Hey! The keg cups aren’t just a Yankee thing–what about Kandi???
And in Claudia’s defense, her stuff hasn’t arrived yet. I love you, but give the girl a pass in this one. At least she didn’t fuck a dude from Bed, Bath & Beyond for some wine glasses (…Porsha…)
O.K., O.K. I get it. Kenya is now the HBIC and so darn put upon from previous seasons that even Tamara is no her side now, despite her behavior her first season. I get it, but dang. Are our memories really that short? And is it really outside the realm of possibility that to get back at his wife Apollo agreed to take back all he had said about Kenya, since it was Kenya who originally went along with Apollo’s lie ALSO to piss off Phaedra? Jeepers, I love your recaps Tamara, but I just don’t get your all out support of Kenya, the same woman who thought Apollo was so hot when she met him, she’d have joined him on that same air mattress, but now gets to pretend he’s beneath her!
I totally agree.
Yuuuuup.
Well, I think these ladies’ behaviors over the seasons make viewers change their opinions. It’s not like you have to pick your HW and that’s who you like until the franchise dies. Example: TT (and a lot of people) liked Nene early on, now can’t stand Nene.
This all started with Kenya saying “then why don’t you stop texting me?” once Apollo said he wants nothing to do with her. She was just getting under their skin, because that’s what the show is about.
Later on he goes on to say they saw each other in LA, etc etc. That was NEVER believable, and I didn’t even like Kenya at the time. I honestly didnt think anyone paid much attention to what the criminal shits out of his mouth, so it’s surprising that its such a storyline this year (which is just what it is – a storyline).
The bottom line is that Kenya acted over the top and outrageous her first season because she was playing a part. It was funny sometimes, it was obnoxious sometimes, but people take this shit too seriously. Kenya isn’t down with her schtick anymore, and has started being a real person who just has a fun side, so I’m down with her. She’s not just plain out cruel and mean and angry like nene and Phaedra are.
This season has been quite boring . I’m holding on for better times but if I have to hear Claudia complain one more time about being mixed ( she not that light and if she didn’t say it I would never have known that her mom is Italian ) I will have to fast forward Her scenes as I do for Nene.
Poor Todd . I don’t think he and kandi will last .
She’s very dismissive of his feelings when it comes to joyce and her constant disrespect towards him and his family . Can anyone imagine what would happen if anyone said Joyce was an ex prostitute? What is wrong with her?
Phedra is everything TT said .its amazing that she thinks that the public doesn’t see through her fake persona. It’s a small world and her town even smaller I’m sure they all snicker everytime she’s on screen . If she’s so smart why doesn’t she see that all of her actions since her first season negates her Saying she’s a holy woman of God and officer of the court and miss manners . I can not .
I posted a comment last night but it’s not here so I wrote sometimg else
I never gave Cynthia any thought at all before, was totally indifferent to her. Thought she was somewhat simple-minded, and liked to be around domineering people, (Peter, Nene and now Kenya) because she needed someone to have her back. Standing up to someone like Porsha, isn’t someone who I consider worthy of that type of confrontation. I want to see her stand up to Peter. Even Nene. I don’t like fake, and for someone who likes to repeat what everyone else tells her, and puts her own spin on it, I call it like it is, a shit starter. Like repeating that Kandi said Kim doesn’t want to be around black children, or the woman who said that Todd was an opportuntist when she never uttered those words. Cynthia is a non MF factor.
Great recap, Tamara. I think Phaedra may have had a nose job too.
So because Kenya gets introduced first she’s the new HBIC but wasn’t Nene introduced first on the PREMIERE?!
Are you here just to make me sad? Try to keep an open mind. Nene is hateful.
TT:Do you think you should call the feds about threat last night?Please do…for our peace of mind. We may havestepped on an active “cu” bomb. Some may think they are Christian…by the words oftheir mouth, using the name above all names….she lies. Dangerous. Please report.
I get Cynthia. some friends are loyal to a fault like candy with dealing with Phaedr’s drama she doesn’t agree with how Phaedra is treating Apollo and I’m sure she questions phaedra’s past but she still supports her friend. However at some point you start seeing through the BS and it becomes hard to tolerate the behavior and the truth especially when they turn that behavior on you and that’s what happened Nene he turned her bad behavior on Cynthia and Peter and Cynthia had enough
I think as the season goes by we are going to see less and less of Porsche I think we are seeing a lot of her now because she was expected to be holding a piece so that’s why they have so much footage of her but as they produces start figuring out that they wanted Claudia instead of her we will see less and less
of portion and more and more Claudia
I think people continue to fail to realize that kenya came onto the show as a paid actress she had no reason to move to Atlanta she only moved there for the show to stir up things and she did exactly what she was paid to doit may have backfired on her a little because of the married man drama but I’m sure when she goes back to LA with her check she is not thinking about those women
Wow, it looks like us Canookian’s here in the hinterland (known as Manitoba) had the RHOA premiere last night too! What a surprise because the US is always weeks ahead. The first time that’s ever happened as long as I’ve been watching. We got the Giudice 2-parter on the same night as you guys too, now if only they’d run WWHL. So Kenya got her props, wonder what the fallout will be, if Phadrea will take back the ugly “medium pizza and a cup” comment she made on the reunion show. I was just as stunned every one of the 50 times I replayed it. That was not very southern bellish and I felt Kenya’s pain. Felt her pain? Shit. To tell you the truth, and I don’t care what anyone thinks, it made me cry. I don’t care who laughs, you have to be one cold beatch to look at Kenya’s face after those words were spit at her and not feel something. Yes, I know, I watched it over and over, but I didn’t like it. It was just too vicious. Who would even think something like that? And to say it like you were giving a power point presentation at the UN? I know there are a lot of “turning points” on these housewives shows, one worse than the last one. But for a woman who is an attorney and a mother and who claims to uphold all these virtuous southern standards, those were deeply hurtful words. Anyway, whatever, I digress. bye Apollo. Get to steppin. I have to say it..I’ll NEVER get over those last 3 reunion shows! LOL! Never! I swear! Apollo talkin about how Kenya should be putting money on his books and how she had dirty toes and owes her entire career to him. Can you say delusional? I mean where do these lowlifes come from? Well actually, now we know, he came from exactly where he is right now. Good riddance to bad rubbish. And Cynthia, honey what do you see in that USELESS man I will never know. Your gorgeous and smart and successful, and apparently not too bright because there’s no substance there. I don’t know exactly what it is but I can’t stand him. There’s something going on with him that will show itself eventually, something bigger and sadder is coming for her and she’s clueless. I look at him and I see a snake. And why was Kandi stirring up shit every time she opened her mouth last night? She stirs up all this shit yet manages to sit there like she’s minding her own bizness! Am I the only one who noticed? And that mother of hers, gees, all she needs is a bottle of beer and a pigfoot!
Oh shitballs..did I make a mistake? I read one post talking about mama Joyce’s new house and thought it was the premiere show..the show I saw last night was the one where Kandi brought “that mother of hers” to the 2nd house she’d bought her, the one down the street! I saw Apollo apologizing to Kenya outside Bar 1, is that the same show y’all saw last night? whoops
@ Cyberdish, I truly enjoyed your post(s)! LoL! You’re funny!
You don’t get WWHL there? Or did I read that wrong?
I think Cyberdish is one of them thar Canookians that live in igloos and club baby seals and catch and eat raw fish with their bare hands. It’s practically a whole nuther country up there! 🙂

Tamara! I’m gay, I don’t go near fish! And if I did I wouldn’t be catching it with my bare hands hunnie, we use fishing line made out of whale sinew now! And igloos went out of style 20 years ago, we’ve graduated to huts boo! God, all these people who think Canookians are behind the times! You Amerrikans are funnie! Igloos? I haven’t slept in an igloo in at least 3 years! And yes dear, news flash, we ARE “practically” a whole nuther country up here! Ok, I gotta get to the store before it gets dark and it takes forever to tie all those damn dogs to that fukin sled! :o) tee hee hee
Shouldn’t you be working? It’s your busy season! You only have a couple of weeks left to get all those toys and Apple products made!
No, you read it right, we don’t get WWHL here and it sucks because Andy has everyone on. I really wanted to see that interview with Jill Zarin where she had her own film crew, that sounded too funny. No one has told me what episode of RHOA you guys saw on Sunday night, but if I’m not mistaken I think it was the second one of the season, am I right? The one we saw on Sunday night was the premiere, where Apollo “apologized” to Kenya outside of Bar1 and NeNe was doing some show in Vegas wearing this hideous blond wig. From what I read here you guys saw the one where Phaedra found out Apollo admitted lying about Kenya, I’m DYING to see that! Phaedra is really a piece of work, it’s beyond disgusting to trash talk people to the extent she does then hide behind your bible, that’s the freakin lowest, ya know? I saw her on Ellen and she was just pathetic, talking down her nose at the audience. I’m sorry if you like her, but I gots to express my feelings! Just keepin it reals! ;o)
I think it was episode four. It’s called “Friend or Faux” Kenya and Claudia drink out of solo cups, Kandi’s mama’s boyfriend has destroyed her former home. there was a dinner where Nene and Cynthia went at it… I suppose if you have not seen the episode you REALLY had to read between the lines on this week’s recap. 🙂
TT I cannot believe how you & so many others of my sistas have been either hoodwinked by Kenya or have forgotten all that’s happened in the past few years’ incarnation of the show. Let me help you ladies out with my Top 5:
*1) when Cynthia was the new girl, many of the other ladies didn’t really like her OR PETER, including Cynthia’s own mom & sister. But NeNe supported Cynthia & their marriage 100%;
*2) Phaedra asked Kenya to stop “playing” in the pool, etc. with her husband (when they went on that 1st group vacation) because she found disrespectful especially since they were friends;
*3) Kenya didn’t text anyone else’s man! And this was done after Phaedra had asked her to stop;
*4) (I know this from helping to establish an Urban League Scholarship in my great-uncle’s name) if you hold a charity benefit in someone’s honor, the party is either a) a surprise for that person that someone in their camp is in on with you or b) you coordinate schedules with your VIP to make sure of what day is good for them, etc. You don’t INVITE them via EMAIL to something with their name attached to it & expect that because your email says “read” that THEY actually did. What if her son clicked on it? I’d have been pissed too! and
*5) although Peter is close with the group, those ladies are his wife’s friends. It’s up to her to say something to thm, or get into an argument with them. He’s supposed to stay in his lane & keep out of it. If Cynthia had jumped into an argument between Peter & his boys, while he stayed quiet & she started arguing with those men, would she be in the right?!? Not a snowball’s chance!
TT, now I know you know better!
I’m not sure what your “top five” is a “”top five” of…You seem to be trying to convince up that Kenya is the debbil by listing some things about Cynthia and throwing in some stuff that never happened just for fun…
Weird.
LOL why would Nenes son be going through her email? Weird indeed.
It’s not like she showed up and never knew about the charity – they were talking about it earlier in the day. EVEN IF she didn’t know about it, what’s the crime of “hey I want to throw a party, so ill do it in the name of a charity my friend likes.”
Like…okay? What a horrible person?
It seems like Cynthia doesnt have anything to talk about but Nene. And why cant peter mind his business? He came in the room and just started asking “what happened, what happened” sooo nosy. Thats why his name should be lu’peter. I think Claudia is ok. The dinner was terrible. Neither Nene nor Cynthia could say exactly what the problem was. Cant wait for the other new housewife to come on. This episode was a 4/10
Because that is the whole POINT of having the husbands on the show, so the wives can recap the previous episode to someone. After 7 sevens do you really not get how the storyboards are laid out?
Does anyone remember the song, that goes “take me in o tender woman” take me in for heaven sake”
Still shaking my head that legendary Mary Mac’s Tea Room has now been sullied with housewives foolishness.
That was horrid.
