Well, ladies and gents, it’s time to head into the woods with the RHOA. I tried in vain to watch things that were not filled with death and arguing and sad stories today. Even the Sherlock Holmes movie I watched was sad. I wish these bitches would just behave tonight, but we know that is not going to happen. We ain’t even off the damn bus yet and it’s less than a two hour ride.
Phaedra claims she only planned for the six people she invited so all of the uninvited folks will have to bunk with whoever they came with. But the first night, they will be tent camping. Sheree is afraid to sleep outside and she sure doesn’t want to share a tent with Marlo’s farts. Hey, you are the fool that invited her, Sheree. Tough titties. They do have a room, in the cabin where I predict they will actually sleep in once the cameras turn off. It’s odd though because there are some nice treehouse rooms at Banning Mills that I have photos of them hanging out at. Is this all smoke and mirrors?
Mama Joyce’s streets have been talking about Sheree being a closeted lesbian for years. So it is pretty hypocritical of her to immediately tell Marlo that Kandi is gay so that Marlo can bring it up at her little “Axe Marlo” Q and A she plans to hold. And since when does a dip or three in the lady pond make someone gay? Clearly, most of these women did not go to college because in the 90s, making out with girls was practically a sporting event. I mean, so I heard. Allegedly. Not that I would I know. I mean I haven’t made out with a girl since 2015. Or was it 2016. I forget.
They do have to take a bus to the campsite. So maybe they do stay there. The camping expert put up one tent, but the ladies have to put up their own tents. It takes them hours to accomplish the task. Kenya asks Sheree for help inflating her air mattress. Finally, I have something to laugh about today. In her talking head with the weird white dress, Sheree wants Kenya to DIE IN A FIRE. And again, I laugh. Clearly, Sheree reads here a lot.
It’s time for AXE MARLO! Even though Kenya didn’t axe Marlo at all she suggests Kenya get better lashes because hers are too thick. Is that even possible? I do remember in high school I used to complain that mascara made my lashes too long. I was also “too skinny.” Clearly, I was an idiot in high school.
Porsha’s sister asks why she is not cool with Kenya anymore. She says it’s because she was not invited to Kenya’s birthday or her housewarming. Really bitch? Kenya says she has apologized several time for hurting Marlo’s feelings. Marlo keep coming for Kenya and then says, “If a person’s mother doesn’t want to be bothered with them, that how you know she is evil.” See, it’s been my experience that people who profess to be good, and then call others “evil” are the real evil people in the world. The photo above of Phaedra is in response to Marlo’s comment. And for a moment Kandi and Phaedra are in agreement. Marlo is a cunt. Marlo also says that Kenya wants her “lifestyle.” Kenya says that “nobody wants to be a prostitute.” Or perhaps a credit card fraudster. Allegedly. #BlindItem reveal. Oddly, it is Phaedra who talks the two women down and says the trip is supposed to be about bonding not name calling. Sheree says that she is not going to bring up “the gay stuff” after Phaedra made her comment.
Marlo walked back to the cabin alone in the middle of the night. Phaedra wants us to believe she slept like a baby in her tent. In her maxi dress. Cynthia says she didn’t sleep well at all.
Kenya planned the second day. I wish I had a photo of Kenya’s new talking head look, because she is slaying it with those curls.
Phaedra is asked if she is divorced yet. She says she filed almost a year ago. Um, nope. Kandi chimed in with the info that if a spouse is incarcerated you could get a divorce in 60 days. It is very strange to me that Phaedra refuses to divorce Apollo. As Sheree says, “What is Phaedra trying to hide?” Phaedra says that Kandi never even went to college, so she probably knows more about divorce law than Kandi. Well, dear, Kandi knows a lot of people who have gone to prison, so she probably has you beat there. Cynthia’s divorce actually is almost done. She’s sad about it and tears up telling the ladies that Peter has chosen not to sign the divorce papers together. Really? People do that? I always thought you were served and signed and sent them back in. I managed to avoid that whole process by not getting married. I think between my three siblings there are seven divorces? It doesn’t seem fun. Cynthia says she will not marry again. That is what they all say. Everyone comes together to support Cynthia.
The girls head out to the lake to kayak and paddle boat. There is much moaning about bugs and snakes. Sheree is totally freaking out. She is such a hot mess. She taps out of the paddle boat. Next up, ziplines! Cynthia does not want to do this. Kenya goes first. Oh it is not a zip line, exactly. They freefall from a tower. Kandi loved it. Porsha has a panic attack, but she goes through with it. Everyone was very supportive of Porsha.
Kenya sets up a great dinner with tea lights and white table cloths and flowers for their final dinner. Sheree and Marlo are late to dinner. They are exhausted from all their whining about the wilderness. Sheree arrives and her dinner convesation was about her fear of a yeast infection. She said it like ten times. She is so nasty. Kenya and Marlo exchange apologies. Marlo admits that she said some awful things. Marlo decides it is a good time to ask Kandi if she is gay. She also sells out Sheree as the source of the rumors.
This feels like the longest show ever. It’s like slogging through mud to get through this blog. Perhaps I am giving too much detail. I am ready to be done with this.
Kandi lets us know that she loves Todd. And dick. His dick in particular. Sheree then joins in to say that Porsha is the source of the rumor. Porsha tries to backtrack. But production rolls the tape. Then she says everyone talks behind everyone’s back. Phaedra is GULPING down the wine, because she knows this is all on her and what she said about Shamea and Kandi hooking up. This whole conversation is ridiculous. Kandi tells the table that she has in fact dipped in the lady pond. Porsha tries to deny that she has. Kandi says “lez be clear on that.” heh.
After dinner all the girls get into little groups to gossip about Sheree “the bone carrier.” Kandi says that drunk Porsha is an “aggressive lesbian” when she is drunk. And? Who cares?
I hate these promos for the whole rest of the season. I want to know what happens next week.
Real quick so I can get back to the grammy’s, this episode had my adrenaline rushing the entire time it was so good.
Phaedra- She offers nothing to the show anymore but shade and her adorable boys it’s time to go.
Cynthia- She is a beautiful woman and very strong at that and wish her the best on her post divorce life. I will say if she doesn’t return full time next season she will be great as a friend of the housewives for Nene ?
Kandi- I love me some Ms. “Don’t Think I’m Not” but I think she needs a season off or to leave and focus on other businesses and regroup. And Porsha can say whatever she wants about Kandi but she doesn’t have to Suck **** for her peach every season like Porsha does.
Kenya- I love me some Ms. Twirl also but I think she needs a season off also or to be a friend of next season.
Sheree- Sheree has brought it this season and I’m happy to see her back, also she needs to be back for season 10 with Nene and Kim point blank period.
Porsha- She has no purpose on the show anymore, the drama with Kenya is played out and who cares about her BS relationship with Todd. She’s a known escort sleeping with married men from the show and outside people’s husbands and is very insecure when other women are testing for a peach and hers is not secure. I honestly believe she didn’t want shamea to have a peach and was jealous that she was getting camera time and didn’t want her to have a storyline (Which she does) so she disengaged.
Hazel is a great addition to the show and very vocal and should be tested next season, I honestly hope the Nene and Kim rumors are true. Looking forward to the rest of the season.
Besides gossiping and causing drama, what exactly, is Sheree’s purpose – what is she bringing that TPTB would offer her a Peach for Season 10?
And when did Kenya have a relationship a with Todd BS or otherwise?
I was saying we don’t care about the back and forth with Kenya anymore or Porsha’s relationship with Todd.
Sheree hasn’t brought a dam thing to the show !!! Only women who have branded themselves should be on the show . These bosses should be showing the viewers why they choose the crafts that they have. Also, they should be showing us their business side at their establishments to show where they are in their business . That’s what’s important to me. Show the world how they started and the ins and outs !!!! With that being said only business owners should be on the show period ! I want to see those strong women who are not into gossiping but being Bosses !!!!! Sheree, Marlo, Kim are not in that category period !!!!
I would love that also but that’s boring to most of the viewers, once Kenya and Porsha came on the drama intensified and has gotten worst each season after. Sheree, Kim and Nene all bring something to the show or the earlier seasons would have not been as successful. Carlos, bravo and Andy chose not to show the women working on growing the businesses that they have but make no mistake they are filmed, we just don’t get to see that footage.
So, the same boring she said/she said on RHOBH played out on RHOA tonight. Ugh!
Appears some hot tea is about to be spilled according to the previews, and Kandi is ready to kick azz. Kim has some harsh words for Kenya. smh
I’m confused re who implied Kandi is a lesbian. I thought is was Phaedra who implied (with her fingers) Kandi slept with that other woman who is Porsha’s friend? So, I was surprised Porsha was at the center of all the drama.
Sheree and Marlo are too grown for all that gossiping, and drama, it’s not a good look. It’s clear Marlo just wanted to insult Kenya because her commentary was unnecessary and cruel. Glad she apologized, providing she meant it.
I feel for Cynthia, her divorce is really causing deep pain. However, from previews her and Peter are sharing kisses. hmm.
I wish these women would stop gossiping, and insulting one another. If Phaedra doesn’t want to divorce Apollo that’s her business, same goes for whether Kandi is a lesbian or not.
I can make several wishes when it comes to the RHOA, but they wouldn’t manifest, esp. with what’s to come.
I totally agree on the Kandi and Phaedra matters. What Kandi does in bed is not the business of the other women. And even if she was a lesbian, so what? Same with Phaedra. The timing of her divorce is not the business of the other women. Who are they to say how long another person’s divorce should take?
The thing that fascinates me about Phaedra and the divorce drama is the lies. Phaedra is such a bad liar and so much of this is public knowledge or can be obtained, yet she continues to lie. She’s done that since she first came on the show and pretended she didn’t know when the baby was due. Does she really think anyone believes her?
Exactly, Mary. Phaedra has been really shady about the “divorce.” She “filed” with false names. What on earth was the point of that? Was she trying to divorce Apollo without him knowing? Was she pretending to file to make people think she was divorcing? What is going on with the house she bought in October (?) but seems in no rush to move into? She seems to have a lot of money lately. It’s all very curious.
I REALLY wonder what kind of lawyer Phaedra was. (Not gonna say is). She seems to have zero respect for honesty. Can you imagine a lawyer like that handling you.? Geesh.
I just can’t make sense of her lies. And why doesn’t anyone, including Andy, call her out on it? If someone looked me dead in the eye and told me outrageous lies, I’m going to want and explanation.
The mid-season trailer shows argument between Kenya and Phaedra. However apparently they are still cool now, right?
Nope, Phaedra and Kenya’s detente doesn’t last for long. Not friends now.
Wow, that’s a bummer because I hope they could at least stay friends for the rest of the season. They still posted and commented on each other’s Instagram after the Detroit episode.
There have been some low horrible things said on this show but Marlo, Kenya has more class in her toenail then you have in your entire being. That was beyond cruel.
I am enjoying the lesbian stuff, in ATL they have played every other scenario, why not question sexuality and good for Kandi telling the women to sit and spin.
Sheree is a beast, I would like to put Kim R and Sheree in a cage and may the best man win.
Cynthia broke my heart. Porscha broke my eardrums. Phaedra broke the camel toe comment meter.
Anyone else missing Nene? Here is hoping her and Kim return next season and Sheree falls in that nasty lake and gets devoured by a huge yeast infection.
Kenya can be so shady at times and it’s the best thing ever! Lol
I agree. I always thought Kenya would be a fun friend. I think she’s so funny. Always seems to be up for anything. Just an easy friend to have.
Great recap! Don’t know how you get all the details down and get these posted so quickly. I just started watching RHOA again this season, after NeNe left, but all the fighting and shrieking gets to be too much and after a while I think I kind of tune out. Thanks for making sure I don’t miss out on all the good stuff. Actually, I’m scaring myself just a little bit – my comment reminds me of all my old relatives who couldn’t stand noisy shows (plus my husband, who can’t stand anything with more than twenty words of script) – damn, I’ll have to tell the kids to euthanize me if I turn into one of those LOL.
Oh my, are we married to the same man?!! 😉
I find it funny that so many people think Kim might come back. Why would she when she has her own show? Answer, she would NOT.
She may be in need of the money. I don’t think they were prepared for Kroy to be unemployed so soon.
Well, thank you for clearing that up. Whew, now I can sleep again!
it’s sad that these women continue questioning someone’s sexuality as a way to attack. It’s 2017, time to live and let live.
Thanks for the great recap. As someone who reads, then watches, this was perfect. Ready for another fun filled episode. 🙂
I love Kenya’s curls also. Gorgeous.
I really liked that freefall thing. I’m not one for activities that require any skill (lost count of the days I’ve lost to paddleboarding and such like when friends insisted it was easy), but even I could manage to drop through the air in a harness.
Marlo is a real box of trash. What stone do they keep looking under to find such pondlife? I doubt she earns as much from selling herself as she likes everyone to think, she’s got terrible skin that she tries to hide under a wig that’s too big for her head, and her styles ain’t all that. She dresses exactly like one would expect a “lady” of her profession to dress. Also, her reads and her shade never make any sense – she should spend more time with drag queens (whom she’s doing a very poor impression of), and learn to do it properly.
To say that Kandi is a lesbian implies that Todd is nothing more than a beard, which would mean that their marriage is a farce. It’s one thing to say that kandi enjoys sex with women, which is something she has acknowledge. However, the whole closeted lesbian comment is taking things a little too far, imo.
Kandi, Please get another dress and hair for your talking head’s segment. That dress with your boobs getting queezed is awful. Also Porsha’s with that fan like thingy top covering her breasts. Where in Atlanta do these hideous dresses come from. Just damn.
lol, I know right? I read first half and thought, I’m gonna mention Porsha also. Came back and read the rest. They both need a different look. Kenya has a great look.
Radiance – I know – the absurdity of asking Kandi if she is a lesbian…do they even know what the word means? And did you notice when Kandi said she has dipped in the lady pond and she wasn’t the only one who had…nothing but crickets…cause MOST of them have played in the lady pond and more than once. They make me sick the way they want to shame each other. Wait til Phaedra’s comment about Kandi & Shamea comes out, cause you know it will.
I kept thinking, can you imagine being at dinner and having an acquaintance asking that? And that grown women, especially Sheree acting so ridiculous(“can’t concentrate knowing that info”,ugh). It’s so ridiculous, I find it kinda funny. And Phaedra was fooling NO ONE. She seems to be tolerated, at best.
I know, Cheryl. I thought the same thing… a pack of females trying to shame Kandi…even asking if she was bisexual would have been better than asking if she is a lesbian. So uncalled for and nobody’s business. Just wait…both Phaedra and Sheree will reap what they sew. It’s just too bad Sheree will be too stupid to realize the kinds of seeds she’s planted in her own garden.
*sow* not sew, lol
Gapeachinsc, I think Kandi is getting close to exploding. She has every reason to. She is still a mother of a teenager on top of everything else. It’s so wrong in so many ways, Phaedra and Sheree should increase the prayers they say. 🙂
Also, I think it’s insulting to Todd.
It is insulting to Todd.
