I do not get the sudden trend of wearing winter white. While winter white has always had its place, simply wearing white in winter is not winter white. Also when it is a rainy slushy mess outside, it’s not the time for winter white. Nevertheless, both Cynthia Bailey and Melissa Gorga wore white in some sort of attempt to rush spring 2015.
The fanboy bartender dissed Nene Leakes for not greeting her fans outside the door after Cinderella. Then Andy shows a still of the Bride of Frankenstein wig Nene wears next week. He asks for Cynthia’s thoughts. She says, “Bye, Wig.” Indeed, Cynthia, indeed.
Andy mentions Sheree on Millionaire Matchmaker and he plays a clip of her most obnoxious moments. Andy snickers and says he loves Sheree so much. I was totally expecting him to tsk and call her “sweetie.”
Andy asks Cynthia why she told Phaedra about the Mr. Chocolate thing. Cynthia said if the roles were reversed she would want Phaedra to give her the information. She was not intending to be accusatory, she was just providing information.
Andy asks about burning the friend contract. Cynthia laughs and says that was a bit dramatic. 
Gorga updates: What is going on with the house? It is still under construction but they are going to sell it and live in Chez Beaver. How is the garbage shredding business going? Melissa says that is something Joe invested in. She doesn’t really see that on a day to day basis. BTW, the dude they went into business with went AWOL so I doubt they made any money. How is Teresa? Melissa says she gets updates from her mother in law. (AKA Teresa still is not speaking to her or her brother) Teresa is doing really well. Melissa says she has written to Teresa. She says Teresa has spoken to her brother on the phone. Yep sounds like no real contact there. Andy asked about Juicy Joe. She gets teary-eyed. She says she passes him every morning driving the girls to school. He is manning up but it is very heavy on his heart. Melissa had all of Tre’s girls over last week. Joe is spending lots of time with his parents.
Sneak peek at next week’s RHOA shows the stupid friend counseling. Cynthia says that once the rift started between Nene and Cynthia, Nene went above and beyond to destroy the friendship at that point. Nene has her stank face on. Nene goes off on Cynthia saying, ” Don’t try to act like I was a bad friend to you! You were able to talk to me about any and everything as you always have been. But now, you just now decided….goodbye!” The counselor dude tells Nene she is talking over Cynthia. LOL clearly he is new. Cynthia points out that is what Nene does. Nene keeps talking over everyone. She says “PLEASE!” When Cynthia says she does talk over people. Nene is irate and says, ” And you are a mean girl. Have you found your voice yet?” And Nene storms off. I find it HYSTERICAL that Nene thinks Cynthia is the “mean girl.” Deflection and projection is real, y’all. The therapist follows Nene and he huge overnight bag to the elevator where Nene explains that this will not be an attack Nene meeting. Really now. Nene certainly can’t take the tiniest bit of feedback on her behavior no matter how sweetly Cynthia tries to deliver it. But boy she can WALLOP out the mean, spiteful comments toward others. Funny how that works.
They showed a gif of Phaedra in that white showgirl explosion dress at the break. When Phaedra sees herself in that on TV do you think she thinks it’s good look for her?
Cynthia’s face is very wide. Someone explained some new procedure people are having. I’m not a fan. I do not understand why someone who looks like Cynthia would let anyone mess with her FACE at all.
Questions:
Do Cynthia and Melissa have prenups? Cynthia does, Melissa does not.
Cynthia, what was your reaction to seeing Phaedra and Porsha’s discussion (at The Palm) about Cynthia needing to worry about her own marriage and Peter cheating? When I did see that, first of all I don’t believe anything that comes out of Porsha’s mouth. I think her whole life is a lie. But what I did see, and what I was surprised about was Porsha throwing Kandi under the bus. Cynthia says when Porsha was down and out Kandi came to her and gave her a part in her play (despite some diva behavior on Porsha’s part).
Melissa, is the In Touch story about Teresa making enemies in jail and writing a book about it true? Untrue.
Cynthia, are you being mean to stay relevant on the show because of what Wendy Williams said? I don’t think I am being mean. Cynthia says she doesn’t think she is a mean girl for putting something on the table. And she is relevant to the show regardless of how she acts.
Melissa, do you think Cynthia and Nene will ever mend their relationship? She says it takes time but they will eventually.
Andy talks about how Melissa held back on the reunion and asks why? Melissa said she doesn’t believe in hitting people when they are down. She took the high road. When her buttons were pushed she just stayed quiet.
Game time is random questions about other housewives. Melissa and Cynthia are not allowed to choose each other.
Who needs a makeover? Melissa says Ramona needs a change now that she is single. Cynthia says Ramona after Melissa suggests it.
If your could swap franchises where would you go? Cynthia says Beverly Hills. Melissa says Beverly Hills.
Trade husbands for a day? Cynthia says Yolanda’s husband. Melissa says Kyle’s husband.
Trade closets? Cynthia says Yolanda. Melissa says Yolanda.
Who could kick your ass? Melissa says Phaedra. She’s not buying the southern belle thing. Cynthia says Claudia.
Who has the highest IQ of all the housewives in any city? Interesting. I’d probably say Carole Radziwill. Cynthia says Bethenny. Melissa says Luann.
Cynthia why do you think you get so much hate on social media versus Nene and Phaedra and Porsha. Cynthia says at different times we all get hate. That’s just the way it works so this is my time.
The poll question is which housewife needs the most “friend counseling?” I’m sure he will fix this one too. Yep, totally fixed. Cynthia won at 45%. Kenya was at 27% Nene was at 21%
I am so over Andy and his stupid polls. They don’t mean a thing.
Agree 100%
True. Those polls are utter bullshit.
For me it’s the most odd of things that it never passed my mind that the results may be rigged, as Tamara implies. In retrospect it totally makes sense given the outrageous results on those polls. In the past I would just attribute them to the stupidity of a lot of viewers. What that implies to me is that I’m not thinking critically enough when I consider Andy. Part of that is I’m kinda crushing on him, well on episodes of WWHL when he’s not drenched in makeup, seriously already, somebody on their makeup team needs to be replaced, or held in reserve for Nene’s five o’clock shadow ’cause I’m completely convinced they’re doing that shit on purpose whenever she appears.
When Andy asked his poll question – Twitter lit up with Nene’s name, followed by Porsha’s. Cynthia’s name was barely mentioned (if at all). Either he read the results wrong or it was clearly fixed.
I love winter white..Cynthia looked great, except for the bare feet and exposed ankles…white/taupe boots would have looked better…Melissa’s outfit was spring white. What is up with Andy and mean girls? He loves Sheree? Really? Not sure why MG was there, albeit in the second seat…but I am in the camp hoping RHONJ doesn’t come back.
It was interesting that she was on and Andy said he loved having her in “the off season” as if there would be another season. My sources say the fate of RHONJ still has not been decided.

I don’t see any way to put RHONJ back together again. With the addition of those incredibly stupid twins, Melissa with no story other than her husband is a garbage man, and even with the return of Theresa, I don’t think it will ever make a come back. If it does, then they are stupid to even try.
I definitely didn’t agree with that poll question, I really like Cynthia and I believe she was truly a good friend to Nene, I think people want to hate Team pretty just because they are pretty because really Phaedra, Porsha this season and Nene are the mean girls always have been and Kandi is a shit stirrer it’s surfacing!
Probably the only folks that even vote on this crap is bravo staff, nene’s fans,family, people she threatened to kick their ass and nene herself. I know I don’t vote, never will. I do good to even watch that show. Andy is annoying as hell!
Melissa’s skin tone is baffling. It’s a perfect cocoa all over. I have to imagine that she got a spray tan before WWHL. Honestly, it’s the best she’s ever looked as far as I am concerned.
It’s amusing that both NeNe and Kandi had the same reactions to their therapy sessions not going their way. An old axiom is that “no one likes to be called out on their shit.” NeNe’s reaction is the most intense when it happens. Maybe both ladies shouldn’t put themselves in vulnerable positions if they are so fragile.
Melissa’s pretty dark skinned naturally. Even for an Italian. There was a time, she and her husband mentioned, where his parents were convinced she was Black.
She’s not Italian. If I recall correctly she has an Albanian background
I’m pretty sure she’s Italian. She’s mentioned it before.
Hi All,
the counselor guy looks familiar. Is he on another Bravo show?
Just about every single one lol!! Nah I am kidding! I think he has been on RHOA before!
He’s a TV shrink he’s not from Atlanta. I think he’s been on this before. Possibly RHONY. Or RHONJ.

He was on Nene’s “I Dream of Nene” he’s also a talking head on Nancy Grace, CNN, etc.
The counselor is Dr. Jeffrey Gardere (and he’s slightly annoying). He’s probably been on every talk show known to man since the 90s.
Are we in the Grand Canyon? ECHO… echo ….echo…

I agree that AC so called polls are at best annoying, because sane people would not vote that Cynthia is the one who needs “cancelling” the most, that’s just stupid. If Anybody needs it, it’s AC himself. Saw Sheree on MM. That was a waste of time also. None of those guys were good enough for Sheree (and all three guys were nice imo) she is so cold like a dead fish til nobody can break thru that smug fakea$$ exterior she has. And who wants to anyway? Anyhow, I thought Cynthia and Melissa both looked nice on the show, and I especially liked CB’s hair. It really fits her cheekbone structure. AC is whatever rhymes with witch.
It’s funny because Andy’s mazel went to all the housewives and people always having something negative to say about them. He must have read your most recent posts Tamara.
His mazel was too annoying to recap. It was international women’s day and he decided to hold them all up as examples of women to aspire to. We have a lawyer! and a business owner! and I forgot what all he said. But it he skimmed over the addicts and the alcoholics and the felons and the widows of men driven to suicide and the bankrupt and the many, many divorced women, and the loud mouths, and the brawlers And the ones that give their ones that pretend to be Christian, or good mothers, or employed at all… Those were his mazel’s for “women’s day!”

Wait they think Cynthia over nene needs friend counseling? Perhaps they misunderstood the question lol!
Maybe they think Cynthia needs counseling because of how Nene treated her. In the preview it was Cynthia doing all the talking.

Yeah it seems that’s how they interpreted it! Battered friend syndrome!
Maybe they think Cynthia needs counseling because she was ever Nene’s friend in the first place.
I like Cynthia and the fact that she has developed a backbone this season. However watching her on WWHL is a reminder that she is by nature a follower. Her answers to the game question mirrored Melissa’s answers just about every time.
Cynthia did that on purpose. Andy was asking questions that were negative about other housewives. When Melissa had a good reason for picking Ramona (new makeover after the divorce) it was best for Cynthia to go with that. She was making smart choices unlike Nene and others who would just blurt out things against other housewives unnecessarily.

I agree TT. To me she shows class by answering questions like that and plus she knows AC is well aware of the way production manufactures those situations. So she just plays it cool unlike some others who don’t have the sense to do that.
I agree Queen B. Cynthia is not a quick thinker so she just agrees to move the question along, rather than have a thought out opinion or point of view. Not much different on the show… Peter tells her something. She adopts it as her position as runs with it. From the Nene beef to the rumors, it all comes from Peter first.
Dr Jeff is a media whore and ambulance chaser. Nancy Grace has him on every once in awhile… he used to be a fixture on CNN until they finally figured out that his real expertise is in self-promotion. No wonder NeNe sought him out. What she didn’t bargain for was that he would figure out that throwing her under the bus was the smartest thing for him to do! He knows she’s a hot mess and that aligning himself with her “enemies” assures him of more camera time. I love it! By the way, very small turnout for Peter’s little shindig … Lots of empty tables! Cynthia is a beautiful woman who looks good in just about anything she wears be it white , black or chartreuse !
Nene did not contact anyone about cancelling. Nene can’t even pronounce counseling. Dr. Jeff offered his services to production.

Everything is so producer-run this season. The counseling, the dinners with enemies, to more dinners with enemies.. everything seems like a setup with the outcome telegraphed from a mile away. Bravo, bring back the subtly. Bring back the spontaneity!
That pic looks better than it looked on my screen. Cynthia’s top and bottom did not match. And Melissa’s was pure white, not winter white.
Melissa is seriously dumb and shallow as hell.
Yay I wasn’t a fan of either “white outfit” Cynthia’s was more of a cream and the two pieces did not match. Melissa’s was some bright white get up that could have been worn by an extra on Saturday Night Fever.
I thought it was a good show though. We found out that Tre and Melissa are not speaking and it sounds like Their mother handed Joe the phone once when Tre called from prison.

After watching that show you really think Melissa is dumb? Not me. I think at the very least she’s self aware, and hella quick on her toes. Andy was being messy with that which housewife could use a makeover question, and Melissa didn’t skip a beat with her answer, and it was fantastic. Melissa 1 Andy 0. But I think the most interesting thing about her appearance was how she distanced “herself” not the family mind you, but herself from the trash collection business. There’s something there. What it is I don’t know but when I watched her do it my spidey senses started teaingling.
Yep and the thing is that business was connected to the dude who was “leasing” them the Bentley. The guy was charged with not fraud. He was selling the car on consignment and then keeping the money and not giving the “purchase” the title.
It remains to be seen what if any business connection that Joe and Melissa had to this guy, but.. I talked about it here … http://s17948.p858.sites.pressdns.com/2014/09/27/court-status-updates-for-bravo-personalities/

You sound stupid.
Mellissa looks like she got a nose job in that photo? It looks good. Can she please now get bangs?
Her nostrils did look a little… pinched.
Wasn’t Dr. Jeff the canceller (nene speak) in the pre-wedding Leakes family counseling sessions? Nene wanted Gregg’s children to publicly clear her of being a homewrecker in Gregg’s former marriage. That herd of kids didn’t like her. Funny, no shots of them at the wedding as I recall. Nene stormed out of those canceling sessions, too. Didn’t she threaten to “whoop” one of the boys? “Don’t come for me or I’lll go ghetto on your ass.”. (Nene)
Yep. I have an idea for a blog post. But it will have to wait….

I love practical winter white which is pretty much real winter white. For me since with my coloring I never wear white clothes, I carry a bright white leather purse in winter. The gold stripe on Melissa’s pants looked like she took the material for her daughter’s sequin stretchy headbands for a dance costume and sewed it on to her pants to make them look designer. The real winter white faux pas they both commited was being such dorks gleefully admitting they coordinated their outfits.
The polls are definitely fixed. How am I sure? Remember when Jill was on and she lost the poll against Betthany by a landslide? With all the internet followers she’s bought, there is no way that she didn’t spend a fortune from her curtain empire to buy callers. That and how utterly surprised she was, like she spent her life savings on a sure thing but then lost.
Ugh! Cynthia and Melissa. Great. Cant stand either one of these bitches.
Yet, here you are in a clearly labeled post, spreading joy among us all. You do understand that posts have titles so that if you are not interesting in a topic you can easily avoid it, right?
