I am so zonked out today for some reason. Up too late last night, too long of a nap in the rainy dreary day today. I literally feel like I might fall asleep on my keyboard while recapping this. I’m not exactly sure how I feel about this episode. Kenya and Patti would like you to believe she has a man that she found on this show. But I would think we would have seen them SOMEWHERE by now if there was a great love connection.
Let see how the Bravo bullshit is spun on this episode. Perhaps it will be more believable than tonight’s RHOA.
In Kenya’s opening, Cynthia is there and Kenya says that she and Cynthia are known as the dynamic duo, as if they have been BFFs for their entire lives. The BS begins…
Kenya admits that she has been proposed to several times and always runs away. This not as strange as people seem to think it is There are plenty of people who only want to date people who are unavailable so that they don’t have to commit. Don’t ask me how I know this. And it’s not really a conscious thing. You think you want a serious relationship but when that is pursued by your partner, you realize you do not want it with that person. And that person can be pretty much any person.
Patti moves on to Kenya’s abandonment issues. Patti says she has the same issues. Don’t we all. Kenya gets upset talking about her last relationship. It seems it didn’t end well.
Cynthia helps Patti pick some guys. The other person looking for love is Taylor Dayne. I am not overly impressed with any of the guys. They pick several guys to walk down the catwalk. Kenya and Taylor are basically going to judge them like meat. Which I am good with.
Patti likes a guy named Todd for Kenya. I don’t Oh here is the James guy. He’s the Princeton grad. He wants kids inside of a year. This is the man she goes with and supposedly they hit it off and are still seeing each other. Why isn’t Kenya on WWHL this week?
James takes Kenya Salsa dancing. Kenya has a lot of dance history. She loves dancing. She needs to be on DWTS. James is very tall and very charming. They seem to have a lot of chemistry.
After their dance lesson, Kenya and James go to SUR which Kenya says is one of her favorite restaurants. I have to see this is one of the best dates I’ve ever seen on this show. Such a contrast to that bitter old Sheree. Kenya is smiling and flirting and complimenting James. It is hard to decide who likes the other more. They are both very attentive to each other. This date makes me smile. I don’t recognize the waitress. The share a kiss or two!
Both Kenya and James give glowing reports to Patti. They are both supposedly still dating even though he lives in LA. Kenya does spend a lot of time in LA so hopefully this will work out well.
What did you think of James and Kenya?
Well to state the obvious, James was very good looking. And I think Patti said he had kind eyes — he really does. I think they looked very sweet together & hope its real.
I don’t know if anything that Kenya does is “real” or “acting” but I wish her luck with James. He seemed nice and very handsome but also a little bit too good to be true. My main beef with the whole concept is Patti Stanger. I find her horribly obnoxious, fake and over the top. I would not trust anything that she says and all of her chosen candidates for dates seem like professional actors to me. I keep thinking that either Kenya wanted more air time or that she was totally desperate to go to a fraud like Stanger to find love. I wish that this woman was off of television and that people would see through her so-called expertise. Not caring much about Kenya Moore and really disliking Patty makes the whole process seem unreal to me. I would not put my money on any love match that Patti arranges to last.
Couldn’t agree with you more. This is all for show and publicity. It was a win win for all – more air time for Kenya, more about her her her, another episode for Patti and now something to add to James’ resume who was also a model.
If it’s a real relationship then be open about it and show it off. And be closer to getting married and having babies bc isn’t that what they said they both wanted on the show? My husband & his friend both went to Princeton and know James and think it’s all about him getting some air time and publicity. They know for a fact that Kenya isn’t his type.
Everything Kenya does is for a reason, to get exposure and to promote her “brand”. The only way she will find love is if she doesn’t look for it and she gets off reality TV. Everyone deserves to find their King, unfortunately I don’t this one either is Kenya’s.
@charlie Cynical much?
Don’t you know Kenya has been auditioning for dancing with the stars. Hope Kenya is still with James but all this bullshit that happens with everyone may run him off. Any way she can be happy for the time they spend together. She need someone in her corner.
I’m extremely happy for Kenya. James is HOT. Just a seemingly nice, low key, intelligent guy. Kenya seems a bit reserved when it comes to men and relationships. The update at the end of the show says they are still seeing each other and going slow. I think this guy is a catch and Kenya needs to pick up the pace. We hardly ever see Kenya or any of the housewives for that matter pictured by paparazzi. It’s not odd that her and James haven’t been photographed. They actually showed a pic of them on a more recent date outside the show.
Wow and James is from here where I live. He seems so perfect, therefore he probably isn’t. But they look really, genuinely sweet together and I think there was a little spark and they look good together. I hope she finds loves.
Kenya is my favorite and has been since she joined on the show. She looked so beautiful and happy, you could see it in her eyes. I do hope this is the real thing for her, or at least makes her happy for however long. She deserves happiness.
I always HATED the other girls when they stooped so low as to make fun of her family issues with her mom. Lowdown and dirty. Hope she shows them! They already hate her for her looks so now let them hate on her some more for finding happiness.
Nancy, who actually made fun of her family issues?
Actually I was referring to other commenters (whom I assume are females) who have made some awful remarks regarding Kenya’s situation with her mother not claiming her from birth. When Kenya first came on the show there were blog comments saying “no wonder her mother doesn’t want her” and such. I was amazed that anyone could say such a thing about another person. I wouldn’t even say that if I hated their guts. To be abandoned from birth by your own mother, and to know that the mother who is still living, still refuses to claim you as her own, just has to be a crushing hurt that one never forgets.
As for the other cast members on RHOA, I think it has been nastily implied before (and I can’t say which ones right offhand) but it would be most likely her usual detractors. I’m thinking Porscha or Phaedra.
@Nancy “As for the other cast members on RHOA, I think it has been nastily implied before… but it would be most likely her usual detractors.”
The same can be said of Ms. Moore. She is no stranger to a below the belt nasty comment.
He’s a cutie.
I’m so happy for Kenya and wish her and James the best. Now all she has to do is sit through this crazy reunion this week and get insulted and read by the rich Queen bee nene because she is so fabulous and rich and andy will kiss her ass while she’s named the first female president lol. Anyways all the luck to my Kenya boo
Oh I’m so happy for Kenya. That date made me smile!
Me too! I couldn’t stop grinning, it’s so nice to see her happy & smitten. Tired of her fighting with her castmates. I hope this lasts for them.!
He’s hawt. I hope that it’s real, and that it lasts at least until the reunion so these nitwits can find some other reason to insult Kenya other than her relationship status.
Pls…all of team beasts will hate on Kenya cuz you know they all have such great smart educated Alpha Males in their beds…oops, nope none of them do.
I agree with the comments, hope James stays around. A Princeton grad and good looking.
I like to Kenya leave RHOA and settle down, live a happy life.
p.s. The dates had dinners at SUR and VILLA BLANCA, Bravo branding?
LVP is really good at that…

Works out well for everybody, the production company gets a reduced location rate, LVP gets her “promotional consideration”: I have to hand it to ’em, they sure know how to keep their money passing back & forth in the Bravo Family.
Dang it now I have to watch to check this guy out. Lol. He sounds awesome. I guess Kenya isn’t on WWHL because queen Bethenny beckoned and she needs the entire half hour to hear herself talk since she’s so in love with the sound of her voice.
Her voice drives me crazy.
Ugh, me too. And her bandy legs.
Fuck, you said it. At least Bethenny likes to hear herself talk, because the rest of us don’t care.
@Bliss, I fail to see why Andy is so seduced by the Biggest Bitches on the Planet. I.e. NeNe and Bethanny his besties. He was giddy.
Bethanny could not go 10mins on WWHL without pushing/promoting her book.
Love you Bethanny, so glad you are back on my TV. (Not)
Bethanny =mental Dx
I don’t believe Kenya wants kids right now. I think she WANTS another dog.
Can you all see Kenya with a stroller and diaper bag?
Honestly, I enjoyed watching Taylor Dayne and her date a lot more. Kenya always seems like she’s really not being herself that she’s putting it on thick for the cameras! With Taylor and her date they are both down to earth and real which is so nice to see!’
Kenya has a tough exterior, which I think they explained was due to her mothers abandonment. Her not letting her guard down may not translate well on camera.
I thought she was extremely open with James. I was shocked by the contrast when they showed Taylor on her date. He seemed flushed (drunk? nervous?) and their conversation was awkward. I like Taylor and am happy they found a connection, but I must admit I didn’t really see it. Especially not to the degree that I saw with James and Kenya.

Awww, they were just too cute together!! <3 I really hope there's something there and it gets serious. They looked so great and seemed very at ease with each other. Sweet
James is hella fine as Virginia wine. That had good rapport, and they complimented each other very well physically- Kenya is gorgeous, but at 5’10 or so she ain’t no small chick, and that James…he was a HUNKA HUNKA MAN that looked great standing next to her. Hope they were able to make a real go of it off camera; I definitely saw a different kind of energy and body language from Kenya when she was with him that made this look like it could be a real possibility & something positive.
I agree with you, Kenya was beaming and I’ve never seen her beam before.
Beaming and I dare say “googley-eyed”.
Wouldn’t it be quite interesting if they get serious and Kenya moves to California. She could join the cast of RHBH. That would shake some things up. I also love the idea of Kenya on DWTS. She would be great. If she doesn’t work out with her current dude her and max that would be a hot duo.
I really hope she does not move to California. Oddly enough I do think DWTS would be a good fit for her…..
Here’s hoping it’s for real. They make a really handsome couple and certainly seemed to connect. I think she is a good catch. And he’s not bad either. Let’s hope for them it’s a love match. ♥ 🙂
Here’s to dating unavailable men!
I mean, James is quite the catch. But with Kenya’s “diminshed egg count”, I’m wondering why she’s not focusing on a man in the state where she lives if she’s on the fast track to settling down and getting married? Can Patti not leave L.A…is she on parole? Like, find these ladies men in their cities, not cities they occasionally visit. It just seems so fake. One guy flew in from Michigan to attend the mixer. Like…then what? We see each other once every few months, but at 42, Kenya’s thinking marriage and babies, not long distance courtships. But, hey..it made for good TV.
so if the participants lived in the same state, then MM wouldn’t seem fake to you?
Didn’t you say yourself that Kenya lives in L.A. and only resides in Atlanta for RHOA filming?
I’m expecting you will answer this question in essay format, but if you could just spare us with two sentences that be great.
Kenya is pretty much bicoastal. RHOA usually has about months of filming from pre to post. She had been spending a lot of time in Lagos, and Europe during non filming months.
She used to have a house in LA not sure if she still does or not. She spends a lot of time with Brandon in LA in the off season.
So she is not nearly as tied to Atlanta as much as one would think, and certainly not enough to make dating James a long distance relationship in the traditional sense of the term.

That makes sense. She’s been in New York a lot too. The whole theory that James was unavailable because he lives in L.A. was dumb. Kenya is a known traveler. Flying to L.A. for a couple months isn’t too demanding.
“Here’s to dating unavailable men!”……psssst, Porsha has a twitter account, maybe you can tweet this to her, “close your legs to married men”
A low blow with the “diminish egg count” comment….no woman worth her full basket of eggs should make say these things about another woman. Life has a way of surprising us. You may have children, but what about your daughters, nieces, sisters or friends, would you say the same or wish the same for them? you cunt satchel!
LOL, good question!!!! *sips tea*
You remind me so much of Mrs Roper from Three’s Company always peeking out the window causing all kinds of trouble, lol

During Kenya’s discussion with Patti, I was focused on what her minions were doing. Let’s face it, since her employees were casted by the producers, they aren’t going to be doing much of anything. I could swear the guy was checking his Facebook page.
I think the real reason that Kenya can’t find a man is because of her height requirement. Tall to her is more important then compatibility. That’s why the show had to import men from all over the country. Imagine if I was on that show and said I wouldn’t date a woman with a chest smaller then a 36 DD chest and abs. I’ve effectively cut out a massive amount of the population. Also Patti would call me a pig, and likely point out some perceived flaw that I have.
Maybe I am taking things a bit too far? It’s not like Patti is doing her damnest to actually find matches for her clients, or ever did. All she’d do is put clients in a room with women and make them figure things out. At this point, I don’t think any actual millionaires would allow someone so abusive to her clients to handle that part of their lives. We’ve migrated to “Celebrity Millionaire Matchmaker”. The Chris Manzo episode from this season could possibly be the lowest point in Bravo History for any series.
Height on a man is not like asking for a big penis, though I think that should be a perfectly acceptable request. I’m 5’9″ and back 32 horrifically sprained ankles ago, when I used to wear heels on dates, you don’t want to be towering over your man. It’s in the human DNA that the male partner should be taller, bigger and more dominant.

It would be a perfectly acceptable request if height was a choice. I’ve watched Patti Stanger yell at men for being short on the show and WWHL. If this was something we could adjust, it would be adjusted. Even guys who are 5 ft.10 in. tend to lie and say they are 6 feet tall.
Honestly, if Kenya is having so much trouble finding a man, then maybe it’s time to stop excluding men because of height. Obviously the ones that meet her requirements aren’t working out. Kevin Hart is 5 ft, 4 in. I wonder if she’d turn him down.
I would. I have no interest in a man under 6 2. Plenty of men are not interested in me for my appearance, or intellect or bank account or drinking skills 🙂 or whatever reason. That doesn’t stop me from changing what I am interested in.
Stand on your wallet, I’m sure you’ll find someone.

My group of girlfriends is made up of very attractive, very smart women (for the most part!) I can confidently say that every one of my girlfriends has a height requirement/preference (and it just so happens, no one is looking for a short guy–sorry!) This is especially true of my taller girlfriends, primarily because, as TT said above, no one wants to be taller than their man. And the men don’t like to be shorter, either, from what I’ve seen. I also agree about wanting a “bigger, more dominant” partner. I’m 5’3″ and I always find myself with men 6′ and taller. I feel that if I was a tall woman, I would feel even more strongly about wanting a man with a good number of inches on me. I would feel so much less feminine with a shorter man, especially if I was taller than most people to begin with!
That said, I don’t think any of my girlfriends have turned away their soul mate due to height. I certainly feel lucky to never have to worry about towering over any man…
Point is: I’m pretty sure Kenya’s love life (lack of, or whatever people want to call it) is not hugely affected by her height requirements. Women, especially talk ones, usually prefer a taller man. It’s not like there’s a widespread problem in our society where women Kenya’s height are not able to find partners because there are not enough tall men to choose from. I mean, kinda starting to sound ridiculous.
Oh, yeah, I’d turn down Kevin Hart. His loud mouth is an obvious sign of short-man’s syndrome. I don’t care how rich he is. You’d still have to listen to him day after day after day…. And tell him what a man he is allllllll the time…
Loved this ep! I don’t usually watch MM but of course I am #TeamTwirl. Thought CB made a nice wing woman for KM, Claudia would have been jockeying to get her own man…maybe she’ll be next:) Although I kinda think Porsha will squeeze her way on this show too. Heard she submitted a tape for this season’s DWTS?? James was the perfect choice for her, he made her ‘cheese’ the hardest…with Todd a close second. So nice that Taylor Dane found a nice guy too…good job Patti. My only peeve was Patti always inserting herself and her issues in the conversation…smh
Forgot to add… I know Team Beast is gagging right now about KM + her new dude… but my hope of hopes is that Vivica (dating that cute boy from Coach Carter…really?) gags the MOST.
Oh, God, Vivica hosted the Mob Wives Reunion… I would have thought it was beneath her, but the more I’m seeing of her as herself (not acting in a role), the more I’m realizing that I think I overestimated her classiness. Remember her on Brandi’s podcast? Swearing up a storm… No, she is not much of a class act. Average at best. Below average at times…
@BH I like MW! Karen G is my fave…so gully. Saw Reunion P1, missed P2 but saw all the mockery on Twitter about VF crying…wth?
WTF indeed. WTF are you text speaking about?

First time I enjoyed an episode so much!! Kenya showed a totally different side that hopefully we can see more of! I thought both couples had great chemistry!! Kenya needs a firm guy so I hope this one works out I really do!
When Patti Stanger did her “singing” on the show, my husband happened to walk through the den and asked “Honey, is that woman making fun or is that really her voice?” I told him I thought she was being sincere, and he said “OMG that is AWFUL! Poor woman!”
I was thinking “poor listeners”. The only person worse that I can remember is Yoko Ono. But it’s Patti’s show and she MEANT she was gonna sing.
Oh, God, WTF was that? I was kind of not paying attention (because I do not watch that show to see Patti’s beautiful personality do random shit that shell just end up bitching about later). Did Patti think she did well? Wasn’t she doing like lots of vibrato?
Andy is putting all his bravo celeb’s on so he can have his next wedding spin off I’m sure.
Why, why, oh why does Kenya always take someone along to deal with her issues? She seriously took Cynthia along with her to meet a man on another a TV show??
Hot grown thirsty mess!
Cynthia was the one who suggested Kenya be on the show.
Wasn’t Nene a few episodes ago on the same show to find her friend and “bry-may” Diana a man?
Better to be beautiful with issues, than ugly with issues.
There’s nothing more unappealing than an amazonian loud mouth with the nose of a moose, a short stumpy baboon butt critten with eyes and lips mannerism that would turn off a pig or a girl so stupid the few brain cells she had remaining she took out and injected in to her “new girls” and the spread of her ass and hips.
I don’t know… seems like it would be fun to do with a friend. Not like Cynthia went on the date with them.
And sometimes people like to have support when “dealing with their issues”. I’m thinking the supportive friend concept isn’t bugging you so much as Kenya is…
Ha! You go @BH!
@every1 **EYEROLL** Really??
They make a stunning pair. Unfortunately, Kenya might be a little to crazy to really make this work. This guy is no Gregory Leakes… I can’t picture him holding Kenya’s purse or drinking out of a toilet bowl mug…
They seem to be more likely to become F-buddies.
Well apparently kenya is a prude despite all the ‘whore’ that she has been called! He seems like a confident guy with a strong enough personality to handle kenya!
@every1becalm
you’re a mean spirited dried up hag so one would not be surprised by the mean and nasty things you say and agree with.
Go get some satisfaction in you life, women who say and agree with the things you do are miserable at life and no satisfaction at home.
Jesus Christ, that was such a cunty overreaction to a valid question. Every1 is one of the nicest posters here.
WTF?!? you do not think YOU’RE comments (bry-may; short stumpy baboon butt critten with eyes; lips mannerisms, etc) are, as you put it “mean spirited”? I don’t care for NeNe either but that is just nasty and mean. Kind of like what you are accusing @every1beclm of saying. Glass houses honey, glass houses…..
So sick of the Nene minions traveling around the internet with their vile and comments. I would shut my mouth if I supported an ignorant, illiterate, former stripper, criminal thief, non-tax paying, rude, obnoxious, and nasty woman, but many of them appear to be the same type as Nene. I wish they would all go away.
They ruin every forum they go to polluting their usual bile.

out of her opinions and blog. I walk a fine line with her and getting shocked by her electric fence, I think!”
This is every1becalm comment again below: “So I guess the IVF treatments didn’t work?”
Agreeing with comments about diminishing eggs and making comments about failed IVF treatments is cuntish. This is a very sensitive issue for some women. If we take Phaedra to task for her comment about Kenya’s fertility issues why not these two hags? These two are cuntsatchels.
every1becalm is not nice, she may be to you because she has to respect you to return, but I’ve read her comments in the past and they are mean spirited (as I have too)
@ February Well said.
It’s a fact that at Kenya’s age she has about three good eggs left. She has talked about IVF and that either did not work or never happened. Pointing out these facts or making a gentle inquire if the IVF had been done is not the same thing as Phaedra deliberately mocking Kenya to her face is a crude and intentionally mean way.
You however are quite vile and vicious with your comments all over this board.
Sarc is a troll who says things just to get a rise. And even so, the diminished egg comment was not cruel or untrue. The chances of Kenya having an egg left to make a baby with are very small.

IVF treatments and matchmaking aim to provide different things: pregnancy and romantic relationships, respectively.
Finally watched this. I thought Kenya and James had good chemistry but I liked Todd for her. When we see the real Kenya I like that she is very witty and mischievous and Todd seemed a kindred spirit in that regard. James seems kinda fun but much more serious which is very good for Kenya to keep her balanced. This epi was such a contrast to rude and nasty Sheree who acted like she was above it all. Are Kenya and James still dating? I liked Taylor and the guy she picked! So glad she didn’t go for dude with the great quads and hams.
