I didn’t realize until today that I missed the Blood Sweat & Heels episode last week because they stuck Watch What Happens Live on the end of the reunion messing up my DVR schedule. I already have two shows taping at 10. It sucks when Andy tacks WWHL on where it doesn’t belong. Now lets get to the RHOA Reunion 2015 Part 2.
This episode of the reunion starts with Andy bringing up the challenge on the last reunion about donating $20,000 to the Detroit Public Schools Foundation. Kenya did as she said she would and Nene did not. Nene says she will do it when she gets ready. Kenya says that really gets under her skin. She talks about being such a rich bitch with all of this extra money but she wants to be petty when it comes to a charitable donation for children.
Nene Issues A Challenge She’s Too Poor To Keep
Nene says that she feels like Kenya is trying to “make a mockery out of it.” Nene questions, “Who puts their check on social media?” Um how about someone who was challenged to make the donation on national television. A better question is why would a person claim they were going to write a check for 20K and challenge a colleague to MATCH it, and then never write the check even after the colleague did match it? Nene goes on the “she is right!” trip she has been on for the whole reunion.
The New Cynthia
Next we discuss, “the new Cynthia.” Someone asks Phaedra about her vicious comments about Cynthia having bills and legal cases all over Atlanta and they ask why she would say such personal and vicious things. Phaedra says it is because Cynthia was spreading rumors about Mr. Chocolate at a time when she was most vulnerable Girl, please. It was your husband who was spreading those rumors and Cynthia brought them to you. She is not your BFF, she had no bond to you to prevent her from discussing what Apollo was saying with whomever she pleased.
Cynthia says Phaedra could haves squashed it and moved on just like she did with Nene when she called her a “head doctor.” Phaedra forgave Nene because she apologized. LOL. Naw, Phaedra overlooked Nene’s jabs at her because they both needed some backup this season. Cynthia says she apologized in the Philippines and it was not accepted. Phaedra somehow goes on to say how many jobs she has. Again. Where are these jobs? Has anyone seen them? And how does she do them all when she is flying around to churches trying to sell her etiquette book and passing the love offering plate? Allegedly. Hell even her charities are suspect according to those in attendance at the last one.
Phaedra’s Lady Garden Is Named Aquafina?
Phaedra says something about Cynthia talking about her (Phaedra’s) “Aquafina” cause Cynthia is “sittin’ on some Captain Crunch” so hey, that’s what it is. Can’t somebody translate for me? Cynthia says “Well, coming from a head doctor, I guess you would know.” Kenya busts out laughing.
Phaedra thinks for a few seconds and says, “Yes, and I have a juris doctorate, get you one of those.” Phaedra mocks Cynthia and Peter’s businesses. Cynthia says “win a case.” Phaedra says you stay out of cases cause you got 24 cases ..” These two go back and forth with each other. Phaedra said the cases were against Peter. Cynthia missed an opportunity to say that her husband is not in prison for stealing retirement checks from old ladies. Andy is nearly peeing himself with glee and trying to hide his giggles behind his cue cards.
Cynthia asks why she is always making fun of her weight talking about the plus sized catalogs. Phaedra says she is not making fun of her weight, her mama really does order out of those sized catalogs. Cynthia says that plus sized modeling starts at a size 8 ( I always thought it was size 12) but she is glad that Phaedra’s mom can fit into some of the things that she models. Kenya cracks up. Cynthia tells Phaedra to “win a case!” again. Which is kind of ridiculous because you would have to have a case to win one.
It’s time for the Kandi and Phaedra showdown. BTW, Phaedra is still subtweeting crap to Kandi. Basically, Kandi said she had a lot going on but she was still in communication nearly as much as ever. At the time, Kandi had a lot of her own problems. Kandi says she was not aware there was a problem until the night at Bar One when Apollo was apologizing to everyone.
Kandi Versus Phaedra
Phaedra was supposed to be there but took off without going in. She called Kandi and Kandi didn’t call her back because they had plans the next day already and it was a rough night. She had snapped on Apollo that night, but before she could even tell Phaedra what was going on she was mad at her.
I am just not going to recap the bitching back and forth word for word tonight.
Lots of conversation about Nene and Phaedra suddenly becoming BFFs. Nene doesn’t give a serious answer to any questions. Phaedra gives her spiel over and over about how she and Nene bonded because they are black women with sons. Haven’t they both been black women with sons on every season?
Porsha Versus Kandi
Someone asks why Porsha is such a cunt to Kandi this season when Kandi was the only one looking out for her at all in previous seasons and even gave her a job. Porsha says the part in the play was strictly business and she earned it on her merits and it was not just given to her.
Well, that was what I gleaned she meant from the crap coming out of her mouth. She says she was standing behind Phaedra because she was going through a divorce and Porsha had just gone through one as well. So fuck Kandi. (She didn’t say that last part but it was strongly implied.)
Nene Is Friendless
Andy points out that Nene has lost a lot of friends. She disagrees. He points out that she was close friends with Kim, Nene and Cynthia and they are not anymore. Nene says she was closest with Cynthia. She was not with Sheree and Kim. She can’t stand Sheree to this day. And is going to tolerate Kim for a paycheck. Nene also suddenly thinks that there are things that mothers should not do on national TV to insure they paycheck.
I wonder what those are? She drags her spawn to Vegas so she can substitute for a drag queen in a sex show, she insults charities, she tells psychologists trying to help her that they need to be concerned about their license, she screams like a banshee at other mothers on the show, and she asked Andy if he would like to drop trou so she can kiss his ass. Just to name a few. What are these horrific things that she thinks the other women are doing that are so foul? Oh yes. Standing up to her. That is unforgivable.
The Husbands Arrive
The husbands have now joined us. We are running out of husbands. My sources tell me that next season will focus more on the ladies personal relationships. I guess this means we will meet Porsha’s um, men and get to visit the Kentucky prison visiting area!
Why must everyone ask about Peter “inserting himself” into “women’s business.” It’s such a stupid question. He is on the dayum show. And most of his conversations are with his wife! Just like Gregg.
It’s time to bang away on Porsha again. As I told you guys during filming the right couch got a bashing and Porsha most of all. Those present said that Nene got it worse than Phaedra, which I have not seen yet. I guess they were including her meltdown. But even that doesn’t top Porsha’s treatment this season. Andy is calling her out now saying that they have seen Porsha’s man and he is old enough to be her grandfather. Which is true. Porsha says that is all a lie that Team Pretty made up. That is not true. I have some VERY detailed information on Porsha’s um….men and that information did not come from any housewives. Those people on the streets have a lot to say in Atlanta when it comes to what you can buy for a few dollars.
Phaedra Denies Cheating On Apollo
Next Phaedra says she has never cheated on Apollo. She loves him and still loves him to this day. Phaedra has no idea about the text messages. Peter says that he believes Apollo. Todd said Apollo showed up with the texts at his house and Apollo was very down and out about the situation. Someone asks if it was not true why did Phaedra get so violent. Phaedra says she was at her breaking point and talks about the scenes that were filmed weeks before to look like Apollo was at the house on the day he was supposed to turn himself in, Apollo ran at her with a drill, and all manner of things that the neighbors have assured me repeatedly did not happen.
Someone asked why Kenya did not “fact check” the Mr. Chocolate story. How the hell was she supposed to do that? The story is that Apollo says Phaedra is cheating on him. Kenya goes through a litany of rumors that Phaedra has started about her. Then Kenya ends with the fact that Phaedra took time off to have a boob job during filming ! , <<<Easter Egg! Phaedra continues with her moral philosophy of deny, deny, deny, lie until you die. The entire denial she is using her arm to cover up her boob job. Word is she got a nip around the waist at the same time. Allegedly. Her body language says it all in that scene.
Everybody Flirts
Kenya defends her flirting by saying everyone flirts and points out Nene was flirting with Peter. Nene finally pays attention. Nene is losing her mind SCREAMING I HAVE NEVER FLIRTED WITH PETER! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DISRESPECT ME AND MY HUSBAND.
Kenya says,”I just did.”
Nene looks like she is going to get up off the couch and go for Kenya. Gregg pulls Nene back and says, “well even if she did I won!”
Kenya says, “Thank you, I’m glad you think you have a prize.” Best slam of the night. That is why Nene has the number two slot in the who ate the most shit at the reunion contest right there.
Next Week: Peter says that there was some flirting between Peter and Nene. Peter says he thinks everyone owes Kenya an apology. Todd says the way Kandi handled the prenup was wack, and Nene gets loud again before having a ridiculous sobbing meltdown on the third part of RHOA Reunion 2015.
Ok…I’m a lady so I can’t come out and say. But….you can do what I did and check the urban dictionary…yuck!!!!
Prophetess Phaedra was talking about vaginas (sitting on Aquafina vs. Captain Crunch). Apparently, Phaedra has a wet one and Cynthia’s is dry. Since Phaedra is a Head Doctor, she must know all about vaginas, too.
I’m so glad Kandi spoke up. Their falling out was due to Kandi not calling Phaedra back the night Apollo apologized to Kenya. When Kandi spoke to her the next day, Phaedra cursed her out. That’s when ‘distancing’ began.
Phaedra better be lucky Kandi doesn’t go ‘Mad Day’ on her. Kandi knows all of her dirt.
Once again, no one was allowed to bring up the Angela Stanton lawsuit. Yet Phaedra can bring up lawsuits.
It was kind of clear to me from her half assed answer that Kandi believes that Phaedra DID have something with Mr. Chocolate
Jesus H. Christ! What is it with these women insulting each other’s private parts. I’m sorry. I gotta say it. Phaedra is screwed up mentally. Last reunion it was scrambled eggs and now this! What’s wrong with Cap’n Crunch. It’s sweet and delicious!!! For an educated lawyer, mortician and criminal mastermind, Phaedra’s pretty damn stupid. Oh sorry. I forgot. “Allegedly.”
I thought that Aquafina meant Apollo and Captain Crunch meant Peter. I thought that Phaedra was trying to say that her man was better than Cynthia’s.
No, they were definitely talking about the moisture level of their vaginas lol. I used to wish someone would put Nene in her place now I want to a dd Phaedra to that list! She is infuriating! And I hate how when she’s “talking trash” she turns her head and starts this ghetto/southern accent where you can’t understand a word she’s saying. Why didn’t cynthia bring up all her cases? I really et frustrated when the wives “pull an Andy” and let the others slide by without calling them on their shit. #teampretty #Fteampetty
No, it was clear that kandi was lying.
Wasn’t it revealed that Apollo also told Todd? So Kandi knew about the rumors already. So when the ladies started discussing it, she walked away, allowing it to get camera time and breathe, rather than shutting it down to protect her friend’s reputation, seeing her enemies gossip about her. And then on the reunion, for Kandi to first say she didn’t want to be a part of it 9like she was somehow protecting Phaedra) then saying that she didn’t think anything of it because she knew Apollo was a cheater so why not Phaedra, too. Low down!!!!! All under the guise of being a supportive friend… that Kandi is masterful.
A true friend would’ve said what they’re friend wanted them to say…that it was a vicious lie and not worth repeating. But Kandi smeared Phaedra, Apollo, and absolved herself of friendship guilt in one fell swoop. Nice.
@sarcastire. “a true friend would have said what their friend wanted them to say?” whut? A true friend would never put another friend in that position. I don’t like to lie, so I damned sure wouldn’t lie for another person who was doing something that I didn’t agree with in the first place. Kandi did the best thing by avoiding it or making light of it. Saying she should LIE for who… PHAEDRA PARKS??Look – remind me never to play gin rummy with you, you seem like a cheater.
Disclaimer: I’m a gay man in Atlanta with a few loose ties to some of these women. Dating back to BEFORE the first season premiered.
I don’t understand women who insult other women about age, fibroids, sluts, menopause, etc. It makes no sense to me.
Women, unfortunately, can be some of the worst misogynists. My mother always told me: “You don’t have to worry about men getting in your way. Worry about the women.” She was right. To boot, mama said: “You know who hates a smart woman the most? Not men. Other women.”
My mother told me to never let anyone know that I’m not an idiot. That it would do me no good at all to try to demonstrate my intellect. That’s exactly what Kenya’s being punished for with this group. If you ever wondered why Porsha always gets away with shit scot free…That’s why.
So, if the woman symbolically takes their guy’s balls in the relationship, would they call that “crunch berries”?
LOL!
Eww, who brags on the moisture level of their vagina?? Wtf. I can’t with this chick. The way she talked about putting sugar in her cookie she probably keeps a yeast infection.
Thanks so much for the quick recap, TT. Even though Lent is over, I cannot bring myself to watch this show again but dammit I want to see Kenya slam Nene and not apologize later.
Nene is a nobody. I’m glad for her that she has self-confidence. That face is more than the human eye can bear. And the 1/2 Farrah Fawcett lemon yellow synthetic wig. I just can’t. I can’t do it any more.
So are you saying porcha is very intelligent?
I really really can’t stand Phaedra she just looks so sneaky, she gets so uncomfortable when the cast confront her with the truth and starts lookn sideways.If Apollo is doing so much why not divorce him, Ill tell you why cause he has something on you and staying married to him will be your story line. Tam, why cant people see through Phaedra and Nene girl?
Ughhh I hate Phaedra too! Her and NeNe have zero authentic emotions. To see Kandi get genuinely upset and bothered with Phaedra and then Phae just sits there staring…she is so cold. I can’t wait to see what dirt Apollo has on her come out. What’s done in the dark will come to light!
I commented on Twitter tonight that when Phaedra uses that weird superior smirk she looks EXACTLY like The Grinch. After I realized that I could not get the image out of my head for the rest of the reunion
Yeah, Apollo’s bound to get real pissed eventually, if he isn’t already. 8 years is a looong while to do time partially to cover for someone else. He’ll be singing like a bird.
What really irks me is her Southern Belle shit. Like, hello? YOU ARE NOT A SOUTHERN BELLE. You are a disgusting, tacky excuse of a woman and a hypocrite. Ugh. Get off of TV.
Yes!!!! Exactly what qualifies her as a southern belle? You spout off a few coloquilasims no one has every heard and claim they are “old southern sayings” and suddenly you are the epitome of class and hospitality? I think not! A real southern belle should be shown hosting dinner parties and tending to her family. Phaedra just started wearing pearls and full skirts and everyone went along with her rebranding. I want it to stop! As DAR members we should write her a cease and desist TT! Lol
Mrs. Nida is a sneaky little snake. She is down low! Remember how she tried to get Lenethias step sisters on the show to bash her on camera?
If my memory serves me right, Mrs. Apollo Nida is a Scorpio, enough said
So, all Scorpios are bad? Hmmm my daughter will be surprised to hear that.
Was I the only one who heard Phaedra’s comment during Reunion One when Porsha was going on and on about the many gorgeous Africans and Asians in ATL while being pounded with comments about her affairs? Phaedra (in her best catwoman imitation) says “love me some Chinese baaaabeee”. Phaedra, for all her protests of sainthood and her good name, surely seems interested in tasting the goods.
Like I said. Crazy. She’s got sex on the brain. All the pussy insults and so on. Somethimes I wonder though. Maybe she’s wasted when she says things like that?
Yep, I heard that too. It doesn’t sound like she’s missing Apollo.
I so agree with you on this. 1) Phaedra won’t divorce Apollo because she and he both have the dirt on each other. I stick out that when he was in the garage with that drill and whispered in her ear don’t call the police – that was code words between man and wife do it and you will be sorry. Because right after he said that she backed down. 2) yes, Kandi knows a plenty of phaedra’s ish thus the strain on their friendship. Phaedra is not innocent by any stretch of the imagination.
Absolutely. What I still don’t get is why Kandi’s crying over Phaedra. I’ve never seen her express that kind of emotion for people she doesn’t give a shit about. Were they really that tight as friends?
Kandi cries as a way of deflection. Any time she could perceived as wrong in how she handled things, here come the tears.
Agreed.
Amen!!!!!
I can’t stand Phaedra either! She’s not only unpleasant and phony but she’s so damn ugly! There is not one attractive feature on that woman, she looks like a turtle in a dress and the facial expressions she pulls make her look worse. I am appalled at watching her not even own up to wearing fake hair – unbelievable. I want to punch her in the face, is that bad?
Anyone paying attention to Phaedra ‘ s body language can see her nodding her head yes when she denies having a boob job and having fake hair!
I cannot believe Andy allows NeNe’s whole “you’re right and I’m wrong, I have no jobs” bullshit. It really does not contribute to the reunion and I’m sure I can’t be the only viewer it annoys…
Your so right LBND I cant understand why Nene and Phaedra havefans I guess people love evil unattactive people!
I am sick of Andy too
It wasn’t clever or cute, and I have no doubt she planned her strategy ahead of time. It was her saying that she is above the reunion but has to attend in order to keep her job. She plays Andy for a fool.
Claudia didn’t say one word during reunion#2, I wonder if they will ask her back? I hope so, but I am not sure. Porsha, I think she is history.
I’m sure we’ll be seeing a “You’re right. I’m wrong.” t-shirt at some point.
No, really ? You think so? You must be psychic.

Ahhhhhh… I just read your wwhl post. *sigh
Don’t you mean to say “You right, I’m wrong.” Lori?
Apparently I am cranky today. I about half killed the yard guy today. I don’t think he will continue to try and use the water faucet he broke in the first place and continue to keep breaking and using it again anytime soon.
In fact, I am looking for a new lawn guy.
In other news, I feel much better after sawing off the ivy vines on the trees in the back yard, LIKE I FUCKING ASKED HIM TO DO.
Um, perhaps I need to stop the liver cleanse early.

@lori – We already have, but it was written in Nene instead of English, so it said “You right. I’m wrong”.
I just cannot figure out why Andy is so in love with Nene. It’s weird.
Nene questions, “Who puts their check on social media?” It’s Kenya because everyone always calling her a lier. Why do she always saying what she does on social media like cashing these Donald Trump Checks and I am on Broadway. I want to know what happened with Wendy Williams and Nene. I remember she got mad at Wendy because Wendy talked about her messing up a Berkin Bag and she went on social media telling everyone that she gave Wendy a $3200 Celine Bag now who goes on Social media saying how much you paid for a bag.
Hicks. That’s who. I know because I got a whole family full of them. That’s a hick move if there ever was one.
Nene is like “Pam” on RHOBH with her “$25,000 sunglasses”.
Yes! There goes another hick! Neither Pam nor Nene have two nickels to rub together. That’s why they get all weird about money and material possessions.
I’d bet the Celine bag was free at a gifting booth Nene attended. I know of two people that got them that way. Not that it is wrong to pass on a nice freebie, but don’t brag about your cost.
Huh??? Excuse me “Floridagal4life”, could you please translate that comment for those of us that aren’t from a cultural bastion like Florida and unfortunately only understand English? Thanks so much!
I spent my formative years in a British boarding school and I speak the Queen’s English. I had no problem understanding what Floridagal said. You know that old Southern saying? Something to the effect of God don’t like ugly.
All those skills, and yet you didn’t translate?

Well if you don’t understand that English then you will never know. Florida is a beautiful place so don’t bash. Sorry you are lost in translation.
No estamos hablar Ingles aqui en Florida. No es necessario.
@PattyMac – Don’t insult Florida. I live here!
@Patty Mac – If Florida is such a cultural wasteland, why does everyone want to move here? Yankee, stay home!
Ahh, Florida. Land of the chads. I have family in Orlando so I love you guys ☺
You can see a scar on one of Phaedra’s boobs. Probably why she is turned away from Andy–
All of the previous seasons, Phaedra had her boobs shoved up under her chin. It is quite obvious she has had some help.
Finally Kenya did not back down. She seemed like a fighter tonight. That,
“I just did”, was everything. She usually backs down when Nene is screaming she called her a bitch back and the prize remark was priceless.
I am proud of Cynthia she doesn’t seem to be a basket case with all the tears this year. Stand your ground Cynthia. Kandi is real. She seems to cherish her friendships and what Phaedra has done by listening to Nene is only going to hurt her in the end. Phaedra has to be the most stoic black person I have every seen. Porsha must have her peach they just went thru all of that to get Kenya not to push the charges on her. Of coarse I am assuming. The only thing that can make Porsha shut up is to get the law on her. Claudia was quiet tonight. So glad it is almost over. I think I am too invested in this show and I am exhausted. The negativity is too much.
No, Porsha’s still flapping her gums. She still refuses to apologize for the assault. So stupid. If the only thing standing between me and a lawsuit was an apology, I’d most likely apologize. Her fake hair has a higher IQ.
Nene was minding her own buiness. kenya through her name in the mix because she was trying to deflect from Andy’s point about Kenya flirting with Apollo. Not being able to talk her way out of it, Kenya immediately threw Nene under the bus to deflect the attention away from herself. It worked. For the easily distracted…
I think it worked for me because I have heard the Kenya / Apollo saga so many times, I don’t care anymore. I haven’t heard anyone call Nene out on flirting with Peter. I always thought Nene was flirting with Peter too, so I was glad to be distracted. Nene can deny it all she needs to, but she WAS crushing on Peter.
I was embarrassed FOR Nene. Cynthia knew it too, but she didn’t say anything because, well, it would have been mean for her to. Nene was already making an ass of herself, and there’s obviously no contest between the two.
Please. Kenya was 100% correct. I remember Nene flirting with Peter every season until he told her off in the parking lot for being a bitch at a charity event.
Just one question for the Kenya-hater. Did Kenya, even once, say that she didn’t flirt with Apollo? No, she did not. She admitted it and said, yeah I did that. So what? Nene denies it. That’s the difference.
I was minding my own business when a woman (Kenya) was called a whore for two years, for flirting. And Nene massaged that, and totally enjoyed it.Still does, apparently.
If Phaedra can bring up Peters unrelated-to-the-show court cases why can’t anyone talk about Phaedra’s issues with Angela Stanton?
Oh, hon! You know why. If they even mention Stanton then they have to mention ALL of the other allegations, and that could lead on down the road to her involvement with Apollo’s shit. Stanton will be the straw to break Phaedra’s back. Sooner or later.
Andy and Bravo know that. That’s the subtext of every scene and situation Phaedra’s involved in. Her psychopathic hypocrisy. Whenever we see her on the show we KNOW about Stanton and all of the other connected issues. It’s like watching the devil in action.
I think I am going to read that book for shit and giggles. I have a broken foot and am sick of watching television.
Bravo can’t afford it. So, kudoes to Peter, I guess.
Dont they all put they’re charity on national tv showing what they do for others? EVERY franchise does it so what’s the difference if it’s shown on twitter? That was just nene deflecting w her passive aggressive responses. I’m glad Phae got called out about her plastic surgery. If your so distraught and at your lowest point, how are you able to get the fat sucked outta you and have your boobs done? Wow…and what does she do? Deny…deny deny. “Win a case”. Best line of the night for me..lol!!!
At first, Nene’s excuse was that the “statue” of limitations had expired on the charity donation. She saw that wouldn’t wash in the court of public opinion, so now she is trying this mockery excuse. If anyone is making a mockery of donating to charity, it is her for welshing on the bet that she initiated. Kenya is right. Nene will never pay up. She is just hoping the public will stop asking about it. That may happen but it does not mean we will ever forget what a pitiful grandstanding liar she is. Plus Nene knows full well that if Kenya had not publicly posted a photo of the check, she would be arguing to this day that the donation was never made. Now she has the proof yet still hides behind weak excuses. The sad thing is that this topic would be old news by now if Nene was a woman of her word and had the social grace and savvy to make the donation she promised to make.
For a rich bitch, she gets really weird when the topic of money comes up. Just saying.
And speaking of Nene and charity…what became of the ugly Birkin bag with the nailpolish desecration which was supposedly “for charity”? You’s have to pay ME to carry that piece of shit. Now THAT’S a mockery, not Claudia’s check!
Sigh. I have tried so hard to wean myself off this show but I caved in and watched the reunion part 2 tonight. I spent half the show yelling at the TV. Most of what I thought has been said here already. I am so relieved to come here and read an intelligent analysis. My favorite line from Tamara was that Phaedra and Nene have always had being mothers with sons in common. These women act like they think we are too stupid to see through their weak reasoning and excuses.
I can’t believe Nene’s expletive-laced rant about not flirting with Peter. That was a hot topic a few seasons ago. People were warning Cynthia to keep an eye on that. Now Nene wants to deny it. That fact that she yelled and got so angry tells me that Kenya struck a nerve. Yelling and cursing and acting like she wants to fight is how Nene usually reacts to the truth about herself that she does not want to hear. Same old. Same old.
And Phaedra. All I am going to say is I am definitely Team Kandi on this one. Kandi had a lot more going on in her life than was shown on TV and if Phaedra was the friend she claims to be, she would have respected that. She seems to think the world should revolve around her and her problems only.
I could rant on but this is getting too long. Sigh. I vow again to wean myself off watching this mess. (I hope.)
I thought Phaedra’s Captain Crunch comment was referring to Cynthia’s fibroids, which seems like a really low blow.
Funniest line of the night goes to Greg, “I’m a man’s man.”
Now that you mention that… It’s mean but I don’t care. I’m just in that kind of mood. Remember Wanda on “In Living Color”, or Sheneneh on “Martin”? (Two of my all time favorite shows!) That’s who Nene reminds me of. A loud, obnoxious, mean combination of those two characters. Sheneneh when she’s being crunk, and Wanda when she’s trying to be sexy. Especially when she was flirting with Peter. When Peter made it clear he wasn’t interested I could just imagine Nene saying: “Shoot. I was gonna rock his world too.”
Yes, Nene had it bad for Peter. I think that she still does, and Greg especially knows that. That’s why Nene is so defensive about it. Nene made an ass of herself with all of that screaming tonight. And Phae, I have no words. The clock is ticking on a complete and total meltdown of her life, her facial expressions always give her away. Actually the time has run out for the right couch: the delusional, the criminal and the vacuous. What do you bet that they will all return, lol. Andy wants to see The demise of a couple of these ladies, great TV.
Ha ha! Yes, I can picture it! Nene/Shananae!! Oh god, that’s a good line!
“Dam Gina/Jeanna”
Ha! You caught that too?! I’m a Man’s man! Nene is Gregg’s man?! Bwahahahaha…..
Because he is with a man. BOL.:)
Is Greg taking female hormones? He has breasts.
Oh my gosh this recap just had me pausing to laugh so many times! Glad you see the meltdown from nene as ridiculous! She must be auditioning for a role! I honestly don’t know who lies more between Phaedra and nene! Phaedra is a mean cold-hearted ‘b’! I’m sorry but all that bitch calling going on on that stage and the main contestant was sitting their all quiet! Despite all that she KNEW Kandi was going through somehow her situation is more relevant so it’s ok that she wasn’t there for Kandi but Kandi was supposed to do the opposite! She sat there stone-faced! You could almost see a hint of embarrassment when her insensitivity was on display! Phaedra is a user!
I hope next season they do make this show about couples,Kenya can bring her new man and talked about marriage and babies,even have her own wedding special,i would even like to see more Peter and Cynthia going at it with Nene and Gregg and showing more of the restaurants and Bailey agency,the show the way it is now is just repetitive and boring.jmo
Since when the fuck do plus sizes start at 8? That’s bullshit!
Damn it! Just learned my size 8 ass is a plus size!
@ Mrs Smith – Based on that, I was a plus-size when I weighed 110 pounds in high school.
Regular models are skinny, skinny bitches. I’ve seen some in person. It’s scary. Size 8 is not skinny, but it’s not fat either. The point of that exchange is that Phaedra was trying to call Cynthia, of all people, fat. She really needs to shut up about that. Cynthia’s so beautiful that she could gain 100 pounds and still look lovely and camera ready. That’s what burns Phaedra’s toast. She (and Nene) are really very insecure about their looks and sex appeal. It’s embarrassing.
Phaedra wasn’t calling Cynthia fat!! She was pointing out the low rent modeling Cynthia does. It was shade, yes, but not about Cynthia’s weight…it was the fact that she modeled pajamas for senior citizens! Go and check Twitter for the photos…they’re hilarious!
That doesn’t make it okay. What’s wrong with plus sized modeling? Low rent? Okay. I still believe it was at least a partial dig about her weight/looks. Phaedra really needs to shut up. People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
Phaedra looks like she was walking down the sidewalk downtown and a TV fell off a 5th floor ledge onto her head. She can’t talk about anyone’s looks. It must take her three hours just to get ready to leave the house.
If size 12 is a plus size, I must be ready for an episode of “My 600 Pound Life” because I passed that threshold about two sizes back! From what I have read recently the average American woman is a size 14 and when you try to shop that’s the first size that’s always sold out and all of the little 6 and 8 pants are still hanging on the rack.
Mrs. Apollo Nida was the person who commented that Cynthia’s tush looked like cottage cheese. Yet Mrs. Nida has had two cosmetic surgeries and Cynthia is just naturally beautiful.
Mrs. Nida may have some “body image issues” to sort out along with the Angela Stanton case.
@sarcasatire – So you think that only senior citizens wear plus sizes? What a load of bullshit!
She was talking about plus size models. You don’t actually have to be a plus size to model for plus size, but I do believe you have to be at least a 12 they all used to be 12s and 14s back in the day but now they use more actual plus sized women in the catalogs.

Plus size models start at a size 10. Plus size clothing start at 1 14/16, I think. However, I do not think the shade was about weight.. it was about Cynthia not being a “high fashion model’ like Cynthia acts like she was. She had a few cute gigs, but she wasn’t a supermodel.. she wasn’t even high-fashion. She was mostly a catalog model, and now, she’s at the age where she models for old lady catalogs. What, it’s an honest living…but a far cry from the status of model that Cynthia tries to project.
The forum troll was up late last night. Cynthia Bailey was not a high fashion model? Hysterical!
Plus sized models these days have giant contracts just like anorexic models. The dig was about weight. Phat Phaedra has always been jealous of Cynthia’s body and now that Cynthia has a little booty too? She can’t handle it.

Cynthia was NOT a high fashion model! Girl bye. She had a few gigs, but she was not a runway model working for top designers. How many of us have heard of her outside of the famous men she dated?? Name a cover of a fashion magazine she covered without googling. I’ll wait…
Perhaps, coming from the country, you and I have a different version of what constitues a high-fashion model.. well, let me tell you, Cynthia was gorgeous.. but not a huge model in the industry.
It wasn’t a dig about her weight.. but feel free to feel indignant at Cynthia’s expense. I’m sure she appreciates it.
I would call Cynthia a high fashion considering she modelled for Elle, Glamour, Vanity Fair, Essense among other publications and had a contract with Willehmina. Models earn a good living doing catalogue work. Many never get the chance to do the publications that Cynthia has.
Oh yeah, and Cynthia’s image was used in video and print ad campaigns for Maybelline, Mercedes, Oil of Olay, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Macys, Target, Talbots, Bergdorf Goodman and Lord & Taylor among many others. If I didnt know better I would think you post misleading info on purpose. ☺

If Phaedra, Miss Southern Belle, Miss Lawyer, Miss Body Snatcher, had looked half as beautiful as Cynthia does now when she was young, she would have skipped college and law school and undertaker school. Whether it’s okay or not, the fact remains, a woman’s appearance means a lot in society. A woman’s looks can help a lot with climbing ladders, both socially and professionally. Phaedra’s bitter as hell, and she’s using Cynthia and Kenya and any other pretty woman as a punching bag for her own frustrations.
The thirst is real, y’all!
Your comment implies that Kenya and Claudia are not educated woman who are successful. Both are college educated. Both have built careers in their field and have much more substantial track records than Phaedra. Kenya has been supporting herself as an actress and producer for years and Claudia is a trained journalist who has been on CNN and many other networks reporting hard news. She’s been on CNN quite recently in fact.

Tamara, I adore your blog and your writing. Sometimes reading your essays is the highlight of my day. That being said…I am not, even in the slightest, implying that either Kenya or Claudia, or anybody for that matter, are uneducated. I’m just not. Education, as wonderful as it can be, has, I believe, little bearing on intelligence or “common” sense. My aim is not to imply anything, but to say it flat out.
What I said (to paraphrase myself) was that a woman’s looks can take her a long way, or at least give her a good head start in life. Phaedra knows that too. That’s one of the reasons why she dislikes Cynthia so intensely.
Specifically, I did not refer to Claudia or Kenya in my comment, but Cynthia. Phaedra’s dig about weight/appearance was aimed at Cynthia. Why? Because Cynthia’s looks are perceived as her main source of power and strength, professionally and otherwise.
I assume, because I don’t know, that Cynthia didn’t go to college. That certainly does not mean that she’s dumb. I think Cynthia is actually a good deal smarter than both Nene (who also boasts about her dubious college education) and our little legal eagle, Phaedra. I was trying to analyze Phaedra’s state of mind when she insulted Cynthia’s plus-sized catalogue work. That is all.
To quote our Lenethia: “I SAID WHAT I SAID!” :0)
They do in the modeling world. ~sad face.
When Greg said he had won the prize and Kenya responded, I almost choked on my Coca Cola laughing. Gregg got a prize alright. He got the damn booby prize. And if Nene Leakes is the prize only Gregg Leakes would be trying to claim it lmao. I can’t think of anyone else who could possibly want her except maybe that John guy and I think that was for the free publicity for him. Too much yuck factor.
Gregg is an undiscriminating gigolo.
Maybe when he met Nene at the strip club he was a gigolo. Especially when you consider that he was married to his previous wife at the time.
Now, Greg is Nene’s butler. That poor man. She could be the most beautiful, successful, and rich woman on planet Earth, the way she treats him is still not okay. He’s obviously afraid of her. It’s sad.
In addition to stealing back his wiener and huevos while Nene’s asleep, he needs to start digging a tunnel, like Todd. Maybe Porsha can help the both of them out? Since she knows so much about underground railroads and such.
Minky, as I said all Gregg got was a booby prize when he got Nene. I think he willingly gave his wiener and huevos to Nene. If he were to get out for a while without Nene’s permission, I think she’d beat him. He’d be all trussed up yelling “whip me, beat me, make me write bad checks.”. Lol. It’s much easier for him to hang onto her coat tails, carry her purse and powder her big behind after her shower than find a real paying job. Alledgedly.
I don’t get the “powdering her body” comment that he made awhile back, although I do get a gross visual. Can’t she reach around and do it herself? Or is she trying to make him like a “man in waiting” and act like he’s some servant at a spa? Weird. Wonder what she does for him other than bring in a check?
I hear you hannahkingrose! Now I’ve got that horrible picture in my head of Greg and Nene in an S&M dungeon. Thanks for that. Ha ha!
Nancy! Don’t forget Greg’s also a washerwoman. Who can do LUNDRY? Greg Leaks can do LUNDRY! That’s who!
@Nancy – It is a pretty big reach for Nene.
It took me a minute, but I finally figured it out. Cynthia’s reunion look can best be described as, (past cast member) Marlo and Whitney Houston mixed together and on display at Madame Trousseau’s Wax Museum.. What the hell did she do to her face??!! She looks both waxy and frozen.
Botox!
And fillers!
And weaves! Oh, my!
Watching the reunion again, by default. 🙁 Too late to tune into Game of Thrones on DVR.
TT, I would encourage you to watch it again tomorrow if you have free time. SOOO much subtle tea was dropped as confirmation.
I’m sure you’ve heard by now that NeNe is on a promo tour about her being a victim and blaming everything on producer Carlos King. Carlos is now gone. Claudia, love you girl, but maybe you should update your LinkedIn. Just saying.
I see straight through NeNe’s storyline for next season.
I don’t give a damn about this show. I just want Kenya and Cynthia to read the hell out of the pees and present them to Claudia on a platter. And smack Andy, too. This is making me so uncomfortable, I can’t watch.Why isn’t that happening?
This show was an annoying back and forth bitchfest! And what a godawful wig Nene had on!
Greg needs to take his dick back. He needs to steal it from Nene’s purse while she’s asleep. I feel sorry for him. It’s like that song “Detachable Penis.”
Dont forget his balls. He needs to steal those back too.
What a BORING edit of this reunion.
I read the tea TT had up about the reunion. Her tea is always on point. This edit is all about the poor victims of Nene and Phardra. This editing is disgusting. I’m skipping the third part. I don’t need to see the canonization of St. Nene.
Good recap TT. Nene is ridicilous on so many levels. At some point she will learn how to communicate without screaming. No class heffa.
The one thing I got from this reunion was deflection. Every time someone got called on their b.s. they threw someone else under the bus. Nene deflected to Porsha’s criticism of Kandi when confronted about her role in the situation. Cynthia brought up Nene talking about Phaedra in the past when confronted w/what she said. Then Kenya brought up Nene’s past flirting with Peter when called out about flirting with Apollo. That was a little ironic considering Kenya was twerking and a rubbing her butt on Peter’s crotch in Anguilla. Nonetheless, it’s tiring to see grown women never take responsibility for their actions. As much as it pains me to type this Sheree is the only one I’ve seen own her crap. She would fight to the death to prove her point but she didn’t back down or deflect. We’ve seen Claudia do the same and I hope she stays that way.
If you believe that about Sheree, then you should watch Iyanla not fix her life.
IMO, Phaedra will negotiate a settlement when all is said and done. She cant be prosecuted for anything that Angela alleges.
She has never had any intention of divorcing Apollo. She keeps money on his books and i believe the boys will be visiting on a regular basis.
I think she jumped on the NeNe side hoping with the departure of the EP, that it would ensure her return. Her storyline will be composed as NeNe BFF.
Is it me or is there an echo at random times when Team Pretty starts going in arguing with Team Beast and all the while Team Beast sounds crystal clear… As if Team Prettys mics are turned down.
Not every time, but periodically.
Am I imagining things?
Kenya’s mic was loud and clear this episode. It needed to be turned down several times throughout the night… #diggingthehole
Why was there periodic echoing when Kenya spoke a few times & same with Kandi whose voices don’t even register as loud as Nenes but never for Phaedra or Nene? It was weird. Almost strategic.
No the sounding editing sucked. I think Carlos must have left before post prod was complete. 🙂

Oh, ok. It was so distracting that I started thinking it was a set up. Well, bring back Carlos then Bravo.
It got quite when Kenya said Nene flirted with Peter. I was waiting for the music to come in like on the soap opera. Lol
So, did we all forget to laugh and laugh that nene doesn’t know what cordial means . Uggggh .she’s such a bafoon she seems to have the staying power of a kardashian . When will it be over ?
She went to college, allegedly.
I thought she only did a year of college and dropped out when she got knocked up?
She is “very college educated, thank you”. Very college educated. Not just educated. very….college educated. Let’s don’t make it into a mockery like Kenya did with charity.
Kandi is a hypocrite. She called Nene out last week on trying to be the victim and what happens this week? Kandi’s crying again. Talkin’ bout, “I told myself I wasn’t gon’ do this.” Ha!! We all knew you were going to do it, kandi…you cry every time you get called out. Victim-steeze is YOUR thing, which is why you didn’t want anyone else doing it.
And let’s face it… Kandi is only mad that Nene and Phaedra are friends. She didn’t even have beef with Nene this season, she created it over the fact that Phaedra is cool with her now. You know that friend, buzzing in your ear, “We don’t like her! Why are you hanging with her?! She’s not your friend!” Saying anything they can to bring us past issues and build a wedge between the two. Petty.
Also, to note, Phaedra is only mad at Kandi because of Kandi’s Apollo statements. Kandi “ambushed” Phaedra by bringing in her relative to discuss taking Phae’s kids to visit Apollo in jail, and has said on numerous occasions that she thinks Phaedra should take Apollo to visit the kids and that she’s seen kids at prisons all the time. Phaedra didn’t think Kandi was being supportive to do this on camera and, although unspoken, is the source of her feeling betrayed.
Neither of them are being forthcoming in explaining why they are feeling hurt, frustrated, and betrayed, so they bring up non-factors, like the other women. They have both been around others gossiping about the the other one since they appeared on the show…there was never a loyalty question about that. It’s silly to pretend that’s the real issue now. I hope they just come clean and rebuild.
Side note: Who’s all these people Kandi visiting in jail?? She’s mentioned it quite a few times and they seem like different people each time. Let’s get the tea on that!
I see what you’re saying here. And I get it. What I don’t get it the fact that Kandi is shedding tears over Phaedra. I’ve yet to see Phaedra really, truly cry, even over Apollo. And no, squeezing a drop of mascara out of the corner of her eye does not count.
Kandi has been loyal to Phaedra strongly, and in a way that Phaedra would NEVER be loyal to anyone else. Even her damn husband. You’re right. Something happened. Whatever it was, it must’ve been more than a text, or simply neglecting to call someone right away, late at night, after a party.
Kandi is the one who truly feels betrayed. Phaedra is using an alleged betrayal as an excuse to cut ties with Kandi and treat her poorly. I believe Kandi is the smarter one here. But she isn’t overtly outmaneuvering Phaedra for a reason. She is however giving Phaedra cryptic hints that I can’t pick up on because I don’t know their secret issue. There’s dirt to be dug up here. Or maybe fertilizer? It’s a good thing Tamara is a hard core gardener. Hmmm…
I hardly think Kandi being emotional (& probably on hormones if she’s trying to conceive – which makes it worse..) means that she is a hypocrite or somehow betraying Phaedra is ludicrous. We’ve watched Kandi be true to herself and her friends for 6 seasons now, whether we agreed with her or not is a different story, but she has ALWAYS been loyal to a fault. I like her a lot better now with Cynthia, Kenya, and Claudia. I see so much hate for these 3 but they’re the only ones that don’t need anyone else for a “storyline.” All they need is to hang out and have fun to be entertaining. Cynthia seems to enjoy herself much more without Nene, I hope Kandi learns the same about Phaedra. Phaedra and Nene are meant to be friends, can’t believe it’s taken them so long.
I hardly think it means Kandi is a hypocrite and that idea is ludicrous****
You can tell when someone hits a nerve with Phaedra and they ask a question she doesn’t want to answer. She gives them that look that could kill and says very quietly and sweetly, “I’m just not going to discuss that with you.” BINGO! She squashes it right there. Nene does the same with her “You’re right, I’m wrong” bullshit.
I am really sick of NeNe and I cannot take it any more…. Andy is really kissing her butt… I’m sick of it!
The projective over yelling is too much when it come to Lenethia. I have to mute the tv. It was just “nails on a chalkboard” screeching. I enjoyed how the other women didn’t yodel at their highest pitch like Lenethia.
It seems very hypocritical that when the other women interject Lenethias script, she automatically says to Andy “we’re you asking me a question?” Or “I was responding to Andy.”
Yet she can interrupt and interject as much as she likes. We need Dr. Phil to host these reunions. Then we will actually get facts straight.
I am over the screeching hyena howling.
I spent the hour trying to see if Phaedra has eyeballs. Nene is gross but she at least has the excuse that she’s ignorant. Phaedra is just a horrible human being.
@Jane Tucker “trying to see if Phaedra has eyeballs” LOL!!!
Does anyone else think it sounds like Kandi cries in auto tune
Hahahaha yes! She also looks up while crying and does that thing with her hands. Lol.
After hearing what Apolo said about Phaedra sleeping with him on an air matress on the floor and other stuff, heck yeah I believe she’s been chowing down Mr Chocolate. Kandi knew the truth and decided to stay out cause she knew Apolo would rip Phaedra a new one. Why the boo job and lipo? Is it to look good for the evil energy in Phaedras house? lol, just love the way she talks about and doesn’t forgive Kenya but yet says Apolo is lieing about her and Mr Chocolate lol. Phaedra honey, dont throw stones when your own house is made of glass, at least Kenya is single and has no kids. So I leave yoy with your own words…Girl let Jesus fix it!
I’m thinking, unless something drastic happens, this is my last season for RHOA. The only one I enjoyed watching these past few years was Kandi, and now she’s fallen into The Vortex with the others.
It’s become a CHORE to watch the show this season. I’ve found myself reading TT’s recaps and then just fast forwarding to the interesting parts, which have become fewer and fewer.
I’d like to see what was left on the cutting room floor. The secrets revealed shows are sometimes better than what they leave in. I can’t believe this was the best they got in 9 hours. Possibly it was 6 hours of Nene repeating her new mantras over and over.
Nene was such an obnoxious bore.
I dislike seeing the ladies stretch marks on their boobs. I think Mrs Leaks oil has had more than the admitted none job. The before picture they showed would quiet a riot. She should get her money back though, unless this was what she was going for.
I had the Easter Egg Blind all wrong. I thought it was “The No Tell Motel.”
“Tenseful” from the self labeled “wordsmith”
After looking up “tense” in the dictionary and thesaurus- “tenseful” is not a word.
I didn’t need to consult a dictionary to know that.
Phaedra and Apollo have their very own language that only they understand.
Phaedra provided further proof of the snake she really is. Did Cynthia get cheek implants…her face looks different?
Why is that ignorant porsha still around?
Speaking of ignorant Porsha… flat out refusing to apologize might have cost her getting her peach back. Even the Kenya haters think that was fucked up. I like to read pro Nene and pro Phaedra blogs to get a full idea of how people are feeling and even the Nenetards and Phaedra stans have nothing good to say about Porsha. Girl is making her own bed to get all comfy and lay with her legs open to married men in, since that’s the only income she will be receiving…hopefully. Nene & Phaedra are bad enough but at least they’ve been around for awhile and are married with children. I can deal with them as long as Porsha gets off my tv immediately.
I think that both Claudia and Porsha will be cut for next season. Claudia did not say a single word this past episode and everything Porsha said made no sense.
Just saw the 2nd part of the Reunion. When the Nenester started that hysterical pitch screaming about not flirting w/ Peter and talking over Kenya, did Kenya say to her “Oh, now the ‘Mute” or the “Mule” wants to talk”?
I’m still on the outside of in on the love Kenya train here, but that was the best line from Kenya, and if T-shirts are being made, yeh, Kenya should play that game too and get “So the Mute Wants to Talk?” (or “Mule” whichever the case may be!:))
mute. Nene’s schtick the past few reunions is to just sit there looking bothered and say nothing.

The mute is moot.
Yeh, it’s so very tired, such an obvious bad rejoinder when one has nothing to defend oneself. But if Kenya had said ‘Mule”? – it would have been just as appropro since Nene cannot defend without coming unglued or being stubborn as a mule. If th. ere’s an opportunity, I vote for a T-Shirt reply with either one from Kenya!!
Thanks for clarifying:)
No. No more housewife t shirts. You’re reaching anyways. Kenya said “mute” and she doesn’t need to coin phrases she used that are common idioms to a t shirt just because she said it on a reunion. That is Nene’s thing.
Actually, Nene’s thing is stealing Kenya’s comments and putting them on shirts. She said on the last reunion that NENE was “so nasty, so rude.” Nene is still tryna sell T shirts after all these years of being rich. How may rich people do you know that have small lots of t-shirts made up to sell on the Internet?

I’m looking forward to part 3 where the moose rises in indignation at the accusation that she flirted with Peter and Peter confirms it.
Gregg always looks so calm. I often wonder if he is a little sedated. I would need to be if I were married to NeNe.
Josie: I am also looking forward to the end of this season RHOA – which is part 3 (likely ‘unseen moments’ which are always hit or miss kind of filler).
Also think that Greg ‘self-sedates’ or asks for assistance in getting ‘calm’ – can’t imagine any other way to deal w/ the Lanethia that turned out from the Days of Stripper Past:)) But, I have no sympathy for Greg; I mean he discovered her, which ended up bringing her into our living rooms:))) Besides, what else does he do for a living other than promote his wife and peel the grapes of wrath for her, but the wrath ends up everywhere – he is worthless at containing it and keeping it where it belongs – their home! It’s Nene showing her ass that brought the both of them where they are today – and I guess he may think if it takes self-sedation to deal, fine. Otherwise where would he be? A real estate mogul or renter? Only thing I’m sure of is that he has been the latter! Goodbye this Season of RHOA;-
