The final regular episode is finally here! That means, what 122 more episodes of reunions and lost footage? At the end of tonight’s episode you will see a teaser for the reunion and all the ladies are in white dresses. Nene of course has a meltdown at the mention of her mother and has to be practically carried off by the shrink. Clearly, the problem with all of these women is their mamas didn’t hug them enough and they had to get attention elsewhere.
Cynthia
Peter and Cynthia are packing up Bar One. It’s sad to see it closing up. They take down the giant canvas of Cynthia to move to the new location on Auburn Avenue.
Peter takes Cynthia to see another rental property near the new bar. It’s for Peter’s Brew, his Jamaican coffee line. It’s cute, small and not very expensive. Cynthia is a bit pissy because her rented it without consulting her. Cynthia says they don’t need to be dividing their energy away from Bar One.
Then Apollo calls Peter’s cell phone. Apollo is for some reason calling Apollo to talk about visitation with the boys. Um, Why? Oh yeah. Storyline. Apollo thinks that he may be reassigned closer to Atlanta. That won’t happen.
Peter asks Apollo if he is aware Phaedra filed for divorce. It’s my understanding that she has NOT filed for divorce.
Phaedra
We are treated to a scene with Phaera making cookies with the boys. The exterior shots, at the very least were filmed after production with everyone else was over. I can tell this because the gray trim on the house is up. The family is all decked out in red. Phaedra hasn’t taken the kids to the jail because she says that there are special rules for kids and infants. I’ve notice a trend lately where children are “infants” for a very long time. Phaedra is full of excuses for not taking the boys to Kentucky. It’s too far. It’s too complicated. The kids are too little. What if one of them has to pee? There is no place to change Dylan’s diaper. They may resent having to visit their father in prison. 
Kandi
Todd and Kandi are going to dinner at Mama Joyce’s for sort of a housewarming. Todd is having a drink. Kandi gives Todd a lecture to be nice. I wonder if she gave Mama Joyce one.
At dinner, replete with paper plates and paper cups, Mama Joyce publically thanks Kandi for the house. Kandi announces that she is going to go to L.A. for a few months to keep an eye on be with Todd while he is out there working. Riley says, “and you just leave your kid? Awesome.” Kandi says Riley is coming too. Mama Joyce doesn not look happy. Mama Joyce apologizes to Todd. Then she tries to justify her behavior. Saying she was repeating what people told her. Todd says in his talking head, the apology did not seem genuine.
The clip at the :40 was of Porsha dropping by Phaedra’s house. Phaedra called her a THOT ten times if she said it once. Porsha once again called her ownself a THOT. Because, Porsha.
Nene
Seeing Nene on the Broadway stage getting teary-eyed is very touching. She almost seems genuinely moved.
On the night of Nene’s debut not a single Atlanta Housewife acknowledged her milestone except Phaedra who sent a text.
Nene gets some last minute notes from the director after the final rehearsal.
It’s time for Nene’s big debut. She looks fabulous in her gown and stage makeup. She say “a lot of ‘drenaline’ is going.” Nene’s performance goes very well. The guy who plays Prince Charming introduced her during curtain call to a very warm reception. Nene did a great job by all accounts. Nene was very gracious with her fans afterward. She has even learned how to pronounce ‘Broadway’.” It kind of is a Cinderella story. How much longer until midnight?
Kenya
Brandon and Kenya to to do some voice overs. Kenya is planning a big screening party for Life Twirls On with all the girls. Kenya says that Nene promised everyone tickets to her Broadway show but they all got lost in the mail. She is hoping this screening party will make up for that. #shade
Cynthia and Claudia arrive to the screening location of Life Twirls On and are greeted with folks throwing rice at them. Um, why? It’s only the bride and groom who get rice thrown on them. Anyway, it’s all very fancy. Um, in a Phaedra Parks sort of way. There is woman standing next to a harp singing “Life twirls on” on repeat. A wedding cake and a couple ladies twirling ribbons around like middle-school flag girls. Claudia and Cynthia are just looking for the bar. All the ladies (except Nene who is in NYC) EVEN DEMETRIA which is odd. I still haven’t quite figured out when and why Demetria got demoted. Anyway, everyone has a personal drink named for them and Claudia’s is “Hammer time!” and she is not happy about the toe shade. They are saying that this was filmed on Nene’s opening night. I am pretty sure this was filmed well before the debut.
Kenya finally shows up in her wedding gown on the balcony. It goes without saying that while everyone is dressed in Hollywood Glam except Porsha who is dress in her usual Princess of THOTland attire. The screening looks like a lot of fun. The show looked really funny. Cynthia’s part was hysterical.
ENDNOTES:
Nene: Nene’s Cinderella carriage will not be turning into a pumpkin at the stroke of midnight. She and Prince Gregg are riding off to their new $2.1 million dollar palace in Atlanta and she is auditioning for several pilots. Life Twirls on Isn’t one of them.
They just have to put a price tag on things, don’t they?
Claudia:
Claudia is considering a tour of open mic nights to hone her comedy chops. No word on whether she is planning to go under the knife to lose the Hammertime label for good.
Cynthia:
Cynthia and Peter are still renovating the new Bar One. In the meantime you can stop by Peter’s Brew very soon for coffee…and all the latest tea.
Kandi:
Kandi and Todd just celebrated their one-year anniversary. Instead of continuing therapy, they’re beginning fertility treatments to grow their Burruss – Tucker clan. Plans to relocate to L.A. were put on hold.
Or never really going to happen anyway.
Kenya:
Kenya’s life twirled on to Millionaire Matchmaker, where she’s found her new love. She’s currently shopping her pilot with the hope of turning it into at TV series. Hair commercial not included.
Phaedra:
Phaedra is adjusting to life as a single working mom. This southern bellies keeping secrets about her divorce…or any plans to visit Apollo in prison.
Spoiler alert: She hasn’t filed and they have been to Kentucky.
Next week: The reunion begins. And that group hug at the end is proof positive this is all bullshit.
Now that I have emerged from my coffin to feed, I can comment.
Is there a reason why Nene’s update was played first and before the commercial break? All of the other girls were after the break. I am trying to not read too much into it, but I find it highly unusual. I would have expected that Nene would have gone last.
I thought Kenya getting the last slot of the season was telling. I would have thought Mrs. Leakes’ Brotway show would have been the final scenes….
*There is a lot there pointing to Nene not coming back. However, pickup letters have not been sent out yet, but the source seems to think she will actually be returning after all.*

Dang TT. I was hoping that since Nene and Kim got their own show that Nene would say goodbye to RHOA. You don’t think there’s a chance that might happen?
In 7–10 yrs. Nene advanced from a stripper on a pole to pd. a $$million dollars on RHWOA, CELEBRITY APPRENCE, DANICING W THE STARS, GLEE, BROADWAY & ETC….Kenya won Miss USA over 23 yrs.ago, a part in 3 movies, a lot of photo shots in magazines, RHWOA at a lower pay scale & now a pilot. A much slower career advance in 20 yrs.
Love Nene or hate Nene, I have to say kudos to her. She have proved her ambition and determination to reach great heights, even though her tongue is a leathal weapon at times!!
Of course she will return. How else is she going to pay for that house.
Wendeeeeeee: check your facts. Don’t bother reporting back, though. Most of us here have been following along–“how to spot a bullshit internet rumor” lessons included.
I think it was shade on the producers part. Especially since Kenya went last.
I’m sorry, but I found this episode so boring. Glad it’s over……
I too thought it was kind of dull. Just a string of clips glued together.
I agree. The only part I enjoyed was the Life Twirls On screening. The rest was just…blah.
I just want to know why they are all wearing white at this reunion. That’s a strange dress code theme.
Just my opinion but I would never take my kids that young to visit anyone in prison.
Phaedra will regret it.
I think the deal she made with Apollo was that if he took the fall and kept her out of it, he would keep his family…. dunno… just think so.
Still can’t stop laughing at Porsha pronouncing sword sWord. Damn it, I learned in third grade that the w is silent! I guess she also doesn’t understand that THOT and whore are the same. Apparently Phaedra thinks Porsha and Kenya are more alike than not.
I liked Kenya’s shade to Nene…’break a leg, no, REALLY break a leg.’ HAHA!
Todd didn’t seemed too thrilled with MJ’s apology, he evidently wasn’t buying it. I’m not altogether sure I would buy it either. It seemed kind of half-assed to me, but maybe for MJ that was as sincere as she could reach. It was done in a very public forum, so she will get some kind of credit from her hangers-on, I mean, family. I thought the look her sister (the gremlin looking one) gave her when she took credit for all the food, was priceless.
Jesus! Kandi’s using Todd to teach MJ a lesson. It’s a bluff. She’s telling her “Be nice or I’ll move 4,000 miles away and take your granddaughter (and my money) with me.” So crafty.
Ha ha! The gremlin looking one makes MJ look like Mrs. Santa Claus.
Kandi should’nt move tooo far b/c my gut feeling remain the same. I dont think Todd and Kandi will have a forever 2 gether
The Finale was a bore until Ms. Kenya lit up the screen. Her pilot looks fun and hilarious! She says it will be airing in 3 weeks. I’m gonna speculate here and say it will air after the 90 minute Part 3 reunion. I don’t think there will be a secrets revealed this year.
I think the producers are done with NeNe. NeNe knows this too, which is why she is petitioning for Carlos King to be fired. From his tweets it seems like he has been let go. I hope that’s not true.
It was nice to see Kenya get along with Porsha and Phaedra. Too bad it didnt last.
Let’s not put speculation about Life Twils On and where and when it will air on here. Please.

Sure thing! Sorry!
(I really was impressed, though!)
Where does Carlos King’s Twitter look like he’s been let go? All I see is excitement and congrats to him for wrapping up another great season? Not to mention he throws lots of shade at Nene. I highly doubt he was fired.
He said something about all good things come to an end. Of course he was referring to the finale, but his timing was odd. Given all the weird reports about NeNe wanting certain producers and co-stars fired. In fact she just posted a blog. She feels there is a conspiracy against her to remove her from the show.
Well, my SOURCE has repeatedly said her time was up. However, this season they are saying she will probably get a contract. HOWEVER, pick up laters are taking longer than expected. That means they are seriously considering changes.

That’s a relatively normal thing to say at a season finale showing… nene has always said its not her it’s producers or Kim, Gregg, Kandi, Sheree, Kenya, Marlo, producers… anyone but herself. That’s not new or odd Nene behavior. She has been knocked off her high horse, she is not going to be getting anyone fired, that’s just laughable. Even when she was the star and likable she was not getting anyone fired, the fired ones got themselves there on their own.
I just think her conspiracy theory rant is really odd. She seems so confident that Carlos and Claudia will be removed from the show. I’m just wondering where she is getting this belief from.
Claudia is “on the bubble” this season. Allegedly.

She was also confident of Porsha and Kenya not returning after season 5, but Nene doesn’t make decisions. She doesn’t influence decisions. If she did do you really think they would’ve brought Claudia on? No conspiracy theories at all. Nene thinks she’s HBIC & they all kind of nod and let her think whatever she wants while they have a different agenda. I think TT even daid something along the lines of “everyone gets the same script and one persons is always different, this year, it was nenes turn” I mean come on, it’s the classic driven plot line of these shows. You read this blog & comment on it, I see you a lot. I just think you may not have a good memory.
Sweetie I’m in no way supportive of NeNe and her thoughts on who should and shouldn’t be fired, I just find her ridiculous rants interesting.
Nor do I believe NeNe has the authority to fire people. My memory is just fine. NeNe’s statements are bizzarre and delusional. Im just curious as to who at Bravo is blowing smoke up her butt.
Because Carlos blogged on Twitter, “Thank you, it ‘s been a good run” ppl are assuming he’s leaving!
Claudia is fun. I hope she doesn’t go. Kenya is Fun too. I just hated how she acted a times on a different reality show she did recently where the contestants compete for charity but I still like her. She is such a beautiful women too.
I’m not sure how interesting things would have been without Claudia. Plus, Claudia, Cynthia, Demetria and Kenya are so fun to watch because they are goofy, not bitchy and cranky.
And, once again, the boys are wearing Burberry. Who gets paid for the product endorsement?
She’s just a single mom, struggling like the rest of those single moms out there, working her multiple “jobs”. All the single moms I know wouldn’t dare let their children out of the house in less than high fashion matching outfits.
I though Kenya brought this last show to life. Congrats Nene on Broadway, but I can do without seeing your parts….
While Kenya the multimillion dollar producer (sarcasm) was premiering that little show of hers to a very small crowd, Nene was on Broadway getting praised her performance, yea I can see why Kenya would throw petty shade she’s been in the game for years but has NOTHING to show for it, no critically acclaimed movies, no golden globes, Oscars, peoples choice awards hell she can’t even get a razzie award and here comes the little stripper from Athens, GA and she did more in 7 years than what Kenya has done in her 20+ years in the industry.
Cynthia telling Phaedra to win a case is hilarious to me when she and her life partner can’t even keep a business open longer than a season of RHOA.
Claudia doing standup comedy? She’s boring as hell
Not going to watch Kandis spinoff she’s pathetic.
I don’t have much to say about Phaedra except that if she does remarry she might want to do a background check to avoid what she is going through with Apollo. This season finale was just boring all over
Kenya won a huge beauty pageant and has been in many supporting roles in Hollywood Films with actual A list actors. Check your facts. Nene basically was Sherri Shepherds understudy so she could take a Christmas break. She’s been lucky, but her luck is running out.
Peter and Cynthia are not closing Bar One..they relocated it due to circumstances out of their control and not to do with their finances. They’ve also opened Sports One in Charlotte recently. (Have you watched the show at all this season??) Phaedra has yet to win a case on camera. This should be embarrassing for someone who crows constantly about being an officer of the court, attorney, esquire, any pretentious name she can think of to describe her profession that she makes many efforts to change.
Claudia wants to be a comedian whats wrong with that? She’s self deprecating and she already works directly with Rickey Smiley. I think it’s a better choice than trying to brand yourself with a wine, book, or clothing line like most housewives.
I’m really just curious if you actually watched though.
Claudia is not funny, in order to be a comedian you actually have to be funny…see how that works?
So because Phaedra hasn’t won a case on TV that makes her a bad attorney?
Cynthia and Peter clearly have no real business sense, to keep closing and reopening on multiple occasions is not how you operate a business, and the fact Peter just spends money on a rental place without his wife’s knowledge/consent is once again not how you do business or for that matter maintain a marriage.
Kenya won a beauty contest…decades ago ok good for her but again what has she done on the production/acting side that is WORTH noting? I checked my facts and not one of her movies has ever been a box office hit and supporting roles are just that…supporting roles no breakout roles, her production company is allegedly in serious debt and one of the actors who played a role on her twirling show is saying that she WASN’T paid for her part, what kind of multi millon dollar producer doesn’t pay their actors? I’ll wait as you try to explain that…good luck to you
Baby, if Janet Hubert had legal foundation to sue for not being paid she would have. But instead she threatens to beat Kenya up on her facebook page and post YouTube videos in the dark.
Your allegation that Kenya’s production company is in debt. Provide a receipt. It’s just as valid as NeNe’s 10 Million Net worth.
Cynthia and Peter aren’t closing and re-opening in multiple locations. They closed one location and moved to another. Real Simple. Btw, SportsOne is a huge success here in Charlotte. Did you miss that?
Claudia isn’t funny? Alot off comedians aren’t. What we do like About Claudia is her candor. And if she bombs she has no problem admitting it.
And please name me one role
*of, because GOD knows that would be the only rebuttal you could make. Yes, iPhone typos and auto correct suck.
There is nothing for Phaedra to be embarrassed about as far as her legal career is concerened. Contrary to popular belief, most cases do not go to trial. Civil cases are usually settled, and criminal cases are usually plea bargained. The lawyer to be concerned about is not the one who doesn’t have court trials, but the one who tries to take every case to trial. That would be a lawyer with a lack of negotiation skills and/or one who wants to unnecessarily run up a clients bill with expensive court costs.
Um you are assuming facts not in evidence, like Phaedra HAS clients. She is constantly taking her prayer cloth on the road. If she had a full slate of clients she would not be able to do that. Allegedly.

Great post. Nene was a last minute replacement, not given the starring role from the beginning. Is Sherri hadn’t left Nene wouldn’t have been on Broadway either.
Do you just believe whatever comes out of Phaedra or Nene’s mouths and not fact check anything? Kenya has had supporting roles in at least 2 A list movies: Waiting to Exhale, Deliver Us From Eva. She’s also been on the cover of numerous magazines over the past 20 years. What magazine cover did Nene Leakes get ever at all? It appears to me that many people in the entertainment and fashion and celebrity world view Kenya as a success. Just because you don’t doesn’t really mean anything in her life. Everyone from select celebs, bloggers, commenters, production have been alienated by Nene and have been vocal about it. No one besides Brandi Glanville (lol), Vivica Fox, Phaedra, Porsha, and Nene seem to hate Kenya. They are all such stellar members of society too
We love watching Claudia and we think she’s very funny! Please Bravo, bring her back.
Phaedra did win that case for the guy who paid her in cash and then got in the car.
Wow someone is fuming. NeNe receieved horrible reviews for her Broadway run. And while NeNe is out auditioning for pilots, Kenya produced one. #BossMove.
And um..you do realize BarOne has been open for 3+ years? They are just moving location. SportsOne here in Charlotte has been rated the #1 spot in the city. It’s also brought a ton of life to uptown and has attracted several celebs.
@kay & @jteaspills: There’s just no talking to some people. They don’t get it. And they never will.
Terrible reviews? Where did you get that information from? Even TT has said that she heard positive reviews about Nenes performance on numerous posts.
Produced a pilot that has yet to air #yeasomebossmove I’d rather be auditioning for multiple roles any day of the week over just producing one pilot with no guarantee of getting picked up…again #notabossmove
I’ve only read positive reviews about NeNe’s broadway performance. Perhaps I missed the bad ones or they just do not exist.
Owning a production company is a boss move. There is no guarantee NeNe will get a role. Kudos if she does though.
P.S. If you can provide a review from a Broadway critic on NeNe’s performance, I would be more than happy to retract my statement.
All new york review were very good. Critics and major NY newspapers. Many, Many shows sold old crowds. I’m a New Yorker!
I never saw a single review of Nene. Not a one.

The only reviews I saw were lukewarm, at best. But since this is her first appearance on Broadway, I would think lukewarm is pretty good.
A commenter posted just a few days ago that Cinderella was the lowest selling Broadway play this season or year or something… he had a source… I shall go looking for that comment.
I agree.. Kenya has delusions of grandeur about herself and her talent, or lack thereof.
How many Oscars/Emmys/Tonys/Golden Globes/People’s Choice/Razzies has NeNe received? That’s right, zero. Yes, one producer (Ryan Murphy) took a liking to her and gave her a couple of small roles, and she was the lucky beneficiary of some stunt-casting on Broadway in a show that already had a set closing date prior to her being cast. It was therefore a very low-risk proposition for the producers.
But here’s the thing about NeNe: her self-importance far outweighs her actual talents. She’s a “legend in her own mind”, as the saying goes. Therefore, any success that comes her way will be short-lived. See, when people can’t stand to work with you – when you behave like an insufferable cunt to everyone around you – people don’t want to work with you anymore and you stop getting offers.
NeNe has alienated all her castmates on RHoA, and the Zumanity company was, by all accounts, quite happy to see her stint end. Word gets around. (Another one to find this out was Monique. Or Mo’Ni’Que or however the fuck she spells it. She recently said she’d been blackballed from the business, and Lee Daniels confirmed it and said she was a bitch from hell and nobody wants to work with her). NeNe is certain to discover the same thing.
NeNe may be at odds with the Atlanta ladies but she appears to be quite professional with all of her other endeavors. As far as awards go,
I suppose she has won the same amount as Kenya who has been in the game for a minute. NeNe must not be all that bad because she’s gotten more offers than most housewives have.
A quick buck and short lived gigs doesn’t always = longevitiy. Hype is Hype. But Kenya was well off before RHOA and she will be after. What was NeNe doing before this show? If RHOA ended tomorrow would she really be able to afford that $2.1 Million House, property tax, maintenance, utilities, while maintaining a decent living? Nope.
Offers?! Are you high? Nene couldn’t act her way out of a paper bag. Bravo was throwing a substantial amount of shade at Nene tonight. Reading her left and right regarding her ridiculous ideas about how to portray the Evil Stepmother. Is it just me, or does Nene look like a fool?
Absolutely, and for those who keep saying that Nene got great reviews, I read on the internet that the show lost money once Nene came on board. The staff couldn’t stand her and they said that the audience realized that she wasn’t a trained actress.
Nene had some very temporary jobs, nothing that would be defined as Oscar worthy. Not only does Nene over inflate her “successes” but so do her fans.
All of her TV “jobs wouldn’t add up to one full season, not to mention that she didn’t get invited to Glee’s finale.
Nene has been horrible to everyone, and as you said, word gets around. It gets tiresome hearing her fans bragging as if she’s an A-lister.
She’s not.
@jteaspills:
Yes, exactly. NeNe is a “personality”, not a real actress. In all of her roles she’s essentially been playing herself. There’s nothing wrong with that – and she’s far from the only one – but the problem is that once the public becomes bored with the personality, the “acting” career comes to a screeching halt. It’s inevitable.
If she had some actual acting chops, she could overcome that, but she doesn’t and she won’t. Her hubris is such that she thinks she’s launched a magnificent career, when in actuality she’s a curiosity with an expiration date.
If she were smart, she’d concentrate on the types of work best suited to non-actor “personalities”: game show/talk show host, event emcee, advertisment pitchwoman, etc. But, um, she’s not smart.
This. (Above) (well, “above” if this comment lands where I think it will…)
Oh and Nene also owns a production company, so that’s a moot point.
Her production company is simply a vanity card or branding effort given to her by Bravo. She earned a producer credit for “I Dream of NeNe”.
I know, I am in no way defending Nene lol. Some Nenetard was talking about how Kenya having a production company didn’t mean anything and I was saying Nene also has one so that’s not a real argument. At least Kenya’s is real, but they are easy to obtain. Something I also read here.. thanks TT.
Nene doesn’t have a production company. She just gets honorary producer type credits on her spinoff show. “producer” means several different things in the industry. Lots of times it’s more of an honorary type thing. Kenya on the other had does have a production company and she funded Life Twirls On production with her money.

Nene didn’t get that much applause. They had to ask for it. Kenya could win an Emmy and people would be mean. I hope she does.
I was like, “Wow, someone is cranky!” Then I saw who it was… Cheer up! At least once in a while?
That was for the commenter who started this whole thread… Starts with a B…
Ugh! That’s it. What a let down. Hammer Time? I told you so. Kenya’s got something twirling up her sleeve. If or when Nene’s gone, Kenya’s only competition will be Claudia. Mark my words. That shade was not for nothing.
Or she took a joke too far and Claudia didn’t care for it. That’s never happened to you? It doesn’t always have to be a calculated move.
Yeah, you’re right Kay. I’ve put my foot in my mouth a good number of times. But this is Kenya we’re talking about. Don’t get me wrong, I like Kenya. I just don’t know if I trust her 100%. It wasn’t just a comment. She named a drink after Claudia’s foot condition. Oh the shade!
I don’t think she was all that upset? Never came across that way to me.
Never been high in my life. Yes offers. I am not even looking for her and I spot her here and there on tv. Oh yeah and she has that thing with Kim. I think they call it a spin off. It is the prize that most housewives have their eye on.
I beg to differ on Kenya being well off before the show. Total opposite of what I have read. It looks like NeNe’s goal is to maintain longevity. It is plain to see that she will never be a great actress.
What you read? I think TT has a pet peeve about that.
“What you read”, is not a receipt. Do you have one?
If you’re not high, then why are you responding way down here, Sunshine?
Ha ha ha! 😉
I just don’t think Kenya is as mean spirited as people think. She’s smart, yes. Calculating, yes. But being smart and calculating doesn’t make you evil and it doesn’t make you shade your friends. Kenya hasn’t tossed any friends aside on the show. She hasn’t talked bad about any of her friends either. She just has fun with them. She’s tried numerous times to fix her relationships with Nene and Phaedra. Just because she brought up mess on the show doesn’t mean that’s who she is, that means that’s who she was brought on the show to be. Remember production whispers in ears things to be brought up randomly at dinner. Cynthia did it this year, Brandi does it every season of RHOBH, Kim R did it this year. I don’t just watch the shows they are on, I watch how they interact on a daily basis. It shows a lot more of their true character than a fake storyline driven, producer manipulated reality show.
Don’t you think if Phaedra was really going to divorce Apollo she would have done it by now? I never believed any of her divorce lawyer scenes. I think she did that because he did it first. They have an arrangement (per Appllo himself) and she has to stick to it if she doesn’t want him to give up the tapes on her.
Maybe Bravo’s telling us something about Phaedra. Like, ha ha we know something you don’t know! Because that’s a big statement to be making with absolutely no proof.
It is what I read. I come to these blogs for entertainment and to get a few laughs from the comments. The last thing I will do is to provide receipts. It is what it is. You don’t have to ackowledge anything that I say and it’s cool with me. I do have my own pet peeve. I don’t get my my view onA
Leakes makes me some kind of super fan. I am not.
Trying to type on this here tablet. That should be that I don’t get why my different views of NeNe makes me a super fan.
That’s cool. But don’t make a rebuttal that carries no weight. You reading somewhere that Kenya was not well off before the show. That’s pretty vague. No details on what you read or where? Ok.
Yeah, if you jump in a “discussion” with differing opinions, it generally opens you up to people responding to you. So if you make a claim, full well expect people to want to know your source. And if you can show legit that your claim was correct, often people will say, “My bad, you’re right.”
Just helpful communication info…
Kenya’s viewing party looked more like one if Phadrae’s over the top southern belle theme parties. All the girls coming in full evening gowns hair and make up is just silly to watch what was probably a 30 min premier and eat popcorn. On the plus side I really didn’t think I’d like the show it seemed kind of cheesy as they were making it. The snip it’s they showed tonight looked like Kenya did her thing. I will check it out.
Tamara, the :40 was the “pick-up” scene you posted:
http://s17948.p858.sites.pressdns.com/2015/01/10/exclusive-rhoa-is-filming-new-scenes-in-post-production/
Right on girl!
I hope they make “Life Twirls On” an actual series on a network. It looked hilarious.
I think I’ll write a contemporary version of Forever Amber and call it Forever Nene….
I actually enjoyed the episode tonight! I’m really happy for nene and her success and hope her success continues! I actually thought that nene looked her most beautiful while in her dressing room getting her makeup done! Why do they give her foundation that is three shades lighter so she looks so artificial? Lord that apology from MJ seemed fake and of course she would try to blame a fictational person for her spreading lies for so long…because you know she is better than that!
I have to agree that Nene was killing that pant suit and wig. It does bother me when ethnic women wear blonde fine thin wigs. Just like if I wore a wig of micro braids. It’s not meant to be racist, I like how blonde hair looks on black people, I just don’t understand why she seems to insist on blonde white woman wigs, they don’t look natural at all. There are ways to do blonde hair as a black woman without looking so ridiculous.
I’m sorry WordPress must be messing with me! I meant to post my comment higher up! Sorry if it seemed to have nothing to do with your comment but you understand why lol! Any way I liked Forever Amber though!!! She was something else in that book/movie!
I love that book.
I wonder why more of the women did not reach out to Nene during her Broadway debut? Why didn’t she send them tickets to opening night? I am ecstatic to hear about Nene’s new mansion! It looks like the reunion may prove to be more interesting than the actual season.
Well I wonder how many free tickets she could get? That would be a lot of tickets!
Did you not hear Kenya? They got lost in the mail. Duh!
Ha ha! Nene’s just too much.
Nene, overwhelmed by her many projects,most likely put the tickets in the same envelope as the $20,000 check to Detroit Public Schools.
Bwahahahaha!
Gregg, who I have never thought much of, has become such a sucking sycophant, he makes me barf. Supporting your mate is fine, but what couple doesn’t have banter in big moments too? They never film any realistic relationship moments, like every other HW couple from every city. Since their remarriage, he is more programmed robot than man.
Their son has sure gained weight. Probably from all the sitting around in back rooms while his mama strutts and mouths off in front of people. Does he get to have a teen’s life at all?
I am glad Todd did see the Mama Joyce’s unapology for what it was. I think Joyce probably heard so much negative toward her actions, she attempted to end the season on a note of grace. She can’t really do it though, it is not in her.
Kandi was even worse IMO. She cosigned that shit. Really Kandi? You think your mama did something good right there? Meanwhile, Todd is digging a get-away tunnel under the house with a teaspoon as we speak.
I think he was slowly, quietly, making moves that would eventually have his family move to the west coast, and the little troll brigade, or maybe Kandi, figured it out, hence the shitty apology from Momma J. It wouldn’t surprise me if Kandi was the one who figured it out and used the aunts to pressure her mother into the apology. The troll brigade looked so expectant during the “apology” you just know they discussed that shit before hand. He was right to say it wasn’t a sincere apology. It wasn’t.
So hilarious Minky on Todd digging a tunnel with a teaspoon!
😉
“Todd is digging a get-away tunnel under the house with a teaspoon as we speak.” – – Now I can’t get this image out of my mind cause you called it!!!
@Patti & @Kris Thank you babies! Seriously, though. At the end of that shit, before Todd has a chance to say a word back to MJ, Kandi jumps up and says “Group hug!” Hell to the no! Todd’s resentment is getting to a fever pitch.
Yeah that’s the problem with NeNe’s storyline all of the interactions are affected. Lately pretty much all of her appearances are all calculated, and when they’re spur of the moment real reactions it’s the most base type of overly obvious classless sarcasm, and “keeping it real” which is just an excuse to free yourself to be an asshole, which she does frequently, bullshit. Her storyline is boring. Greg constantly trying to advance her interests on camera is just sad. I have no interest in watching it. Frankly I find it telling that when she’s not around the other housewives manage to get along and have a decent time without the drama she inevitably creates.
NeNe is Gregg’s meal ticket!
Yeah, in what universe is it polite or even okay to not make up, but PASS ON rumors that your son in law’s parents were a pimp and a prostitute? Like, WTF???
(And MJ needs to get some meds to make those imaginary people on the street who inform her of all this gossiping disappear.)
Lord, that was a boring show. Reunion looks entertaining. TT, what is doing with Bobbi K? Hearing all kinds of things like she’s alive and off life support? Please elucidate us here.
On the positive side, in that Reunion preview, Cynthia’s beautiful face is de-poofed and back to normal, sculpted, great bone structure.
But what in the world was she thinking when she picked that wig? Lawd, chile!
It looks heavy!!! Too much hair!
A storm knocked out Direct 8 minutes in,but the comments are pretty adamant about the show was boring. Im satisfied to just read Tamara’s blog. I think she should write a book about her adventures. I would buy it.
Ok i call total BS on Nene having a melt down because of her mother. She was and is so nasty to Kenya and Kenya grew up without her mother but we are suppose to feel bad for Nene…not in this lifetime, perhaps the next one but I doubt it.
Yeah, that was sickening. Her last ditch effort to make it all about her…by trying to make her mother issues look worse than Kenya’s. Wow! Nene’s a treasure.
Especially with the way she shaded her own mother in her “book.” Gurl, bye. No, for real. Bye.
I was going to ask if we’ve heard about Nene’s mom before.
With you 100%! Kenya has made vocally upset about her mothers abandonment for 3 seasons now, but without victimizing herself. Nene has been on the show for 7 seasons and this is the first we’ve heard of mommy issues. It hasn’t come up at all, even during the second season with all the commotion about her father. I call absolute bullshit.
Yeah I thought there was something off about the timeline of NeNe’s Broadway debut and the Twirl On Party. NeNe said she was in New York for weeks, and the ladies at the Twirl on Party made it seem as though it had been a few days since NeNe stormed out of Phedra’s event. It immediately struck me as odd.
Claudia looked absolutely stunning gorgeous in the plunging neckline gown she wore to Kenya’s screening.
I was hoping for a tribute to Sharon. She deserved it for being such a great mom, and for putting up with Joyce’s bullshit.
It’s amazing to me how likable and funny the cast is together absent nene – I’ve actually ENJOYED Porsha the last few episodes.
How one lone moose can make everything so negative and tiring to watch is just beyond me.
Why do all these ladies feel the need to always expose their breasts. This is just as bad as men walking around with their underwear showing. What’s the point?
I agree that Porsha does become a more likable character when she is not influenced by Nene. I wish she would just be authentic. She is still a thot but owns it. She’s not trying to pretend she’s the leader of the church while acting a fool like Phadrae. She’s young and newly single and exploring her sexuality that was stiffled by Kordel. Hopefully she will calm it down into something more appropriate under the tutorage of the classier girls. I liked her last year before the Kenya incident maybe there is hope for her yet. I guess we will see at the reunion.
Do people really believe that nene was aspiring to be on Broadway when she was pole dancing? This is her “dream come true”? BS to everything that comes out of the giant mouth of hers. Just the way she was kissing up to the paparazzi was sickening! But she needs them to just love her so they will continue to take her picture because she’s such a star!
Don’t like for people to go downhill but looking forward to seeing her fail.
She has a looser husband and two worthless sons. Glamorous
Life!
Wow LM, Nene has “two worthless sons”. What a mean thing to say, especially about the under aged young man. If you have any kids, I hope they’re as perfect as you are. I thought horrid comments about kids were off limits. If not, they should be.
Apply it to the older son, perhaps?
Oh, and KINGSLEY IS OFF LIMITS, TOO!!!
The paper plates! The paper cups! This is among several of Kandi’s family gatherings with paper. It annoys me. Its tacky.
When we have family get togethers not only do we use paper plates cups and plastic ware my mother in law brings her zip lock plastic containers to do take out for leftovers. We all laugh about it in fun. But really it’s not about being lazy or classless it just makes clean up easier so we can spend more time together. Everybody is busy so it’s very infrequent it happens.
I once served brunch on paper plates to piss of my mother in law. Hehe. She thought it was tacky and lazy I used paper nine months pregnant for a brunch I didn’t want to do with people I didn’t want over and my toddler.
I didnt realize there are many Nenetards on this blog.
They are out tonight!
Porsha, the THOT, can’t even pronounce the word swords. I don’t blame Todd for being offended by mama joyce apology. She should have stopped at that and not added the rest. Riley is a mini mama joyce. Phaedra’s kids are adorable and should be allowed to see their dad. NeNe has a lot of insecurities so it was nice to see her drop the facade and feel the emotions of her Broadway debut. She did seem humble and appreciative. I do wish they had shown a moment with Keke Palmer.
*Endnotes* I didn’t see one for Porsha, did I miss it?
She was not a HW this season.
I know she didn’t have the HW title, but she was on a lot, too much, really. Just thought they would let us know how Thotlandia is doing or not.
Lawdy lawdy lawdy I CAN’T STAND Cynthia!! Such a shady,ass b*tch, with snide sly little remarks, like Calling Phaedra, Apollo’s “baby momma” She says this crap then acts like She’s so damn innocent, wanting peace love and happiness with the rest of the girls! I’d love to b*tchslsp that hefer!!
I found it odd that Cynthia would refer to Phaedra as the baby mama considering she has a daughter with Leon, whom she was never married to.
Also, if people watched closely Nene did not bring up her mom, Dr. Jeff did. Commenters here have such selective memories when it comes to Nene. She has been avoiding discussing her mom since season 1 but it was clear that there were issues. Her mom had sex and produced a child with her boyfriend’s best friend for Christ’s sake! Then she left Nene and her brother Anthony to be raised in Athens but kept the rest of her kids. Nene fought like hell to keep Bravo from airing Phaedra’s scenes with her sisters. Her mom is deceased so I’m sure she doesn’t want to bad mouth her on tv. To doubt that this has affected her or that she’s being insincere is pretty low. Anyone would have issues after all of that.
The timing of all the trauma emerging is suspect. After seven seasons of threatening everyone who might even mention her mother and mocking Kenya about her mother issues, she waits until she has had a bad edit with no allies that were worth a damn to play the “my momma didn’t love me” card.

I get that Tamara but from the clip it appears that Dr. Jeff brought up her mom. I’m sure it was to try and understand why she’s so hateful. I do remember her crying in season 1 about letters family members were sending about her mom and that’s how she found out Curtis wasn’t her father. Additionally, I can’t recall her mocking Kenya about her mom. I do remember her saying something about how Kenya’s dad treated her on his visit but never once heard her mention the mom issues.
She’s rude as hell but when I think back
on her interactions with the real housemoms (Joyce, Kim’s mom, Cynthia’s mom, Lisa Wu’s mom) she’s been nothing but respectful.
Okay, no one is going to bring up Gregg literally bowing to Nene???
I laughed my ass off, it was so funny! It was so perfect. Just when we thought he couldn’t get any more pathetic/!super devoted!, he outdoes himself.
