Real Housewives of Atlanta: Say Yes To Distress

November 12, 2017 by tamaratattles 54 Comments

My cable company is saying this is the third episode, but it is only the second one, right? Did I miss something?

LOL at Sheree pretending to live in the Chateau with her son is sitting there at a counter with a pancake on a paper plate. I really needed a good laugh today and I have rewound this three times just to laugh some more. Ain’t nobody living in that concrete women’s prison, and production bitched about having to pretend like she was all season.

Cynthia on the other hand is living at Lake Bailey and that bathtub scene was steamy.

Porsha moving her sister into her house because she has to have someone to film with. So she has her whole famdamily there to talk about Cynthia’s birthday party. I can’t believe that they keep breaking the fourth wall by talking about WWHL. 

Unfortunately, tonight we start the parade of fake dates for Cynthia. Tonight’s contribution from central casting, is Evan, the eccentric photographer. I like him. They did a great job with this one. But he is 29. Cynthia quickly friendzoned him.

Sheree is going to see a life coach. His name is Jack Daniels. Jack Daniel’s clearly does not watch Iyanla Fix My Life. Because Sheree’s previews attempt to accept guidance in her life did not go well. That was five years ago and her house is still incomplete just as Iylana predicted. She says she is there to deal with Bob’s “abuse.” She is wearing a bagel head for this session, that is her go to court look. At least now she has a little bit of real hair on her head and the bagel is in the right place. Anyway, Jack Daniels wants Sheree to tell the kids that she was abused.

Kenya and Cynthia and Kenya’s dogs go for a picnic. Kenya is so happy to get married and can’t wait to change her name. She plans to hyphenate. Cynthia is disappointed that as soon as she is officially single and ready to mingle, Kenya gets married on her. Oh look, more website stories that are not mine! And of course they are the ones claiming she is not married. Kenya says that all the public attention is something that her husband is very uncomfortable with. Cynthia says she wishes she would have done more to keep her marriage private. Oh honey, Peter was so thirsty for that peach there was nothing you could have done to slow that down.

We get to see Shamea and Kandi shopping for her wedding. They need African clothes for one of the dinner safaris. Kandi flew to Kenya to attend her wedding. Also tonight we get to see Shamea’s wedding shower. I actually think this was filmed BEFORE Cynthia’s birthday party. Kandi says she has become really close with Shemea. Mama Joyce’s streets agree that they were VERY close. Shamea travels on all of Kandi’s vacations with Todd and their little um, group of close friends. For some reason Sheree has wandered in despite the fact she can’t afford to go to Canton, let alone Kenya for a wedding. Porsha at least told Shamea that she can’t afford to go to Kenya.

Insert Porsha’s stupid vegan storyline here. Porsha’s sister thinks that women get new eggs somehow and suggests that Porsha not freeze her current eggs but to wait until she has been vegan for six months. Things like this make me infuriated that people keep paying these fools huge salaries to film their stupidity.

Kenya cries to her producer, Joi, about the online drama surrounding her wedding. She tells her that she and Marc were supposed to go to church the next day to have their wedding blessed by the preacher and he is just so stressed out that he is not eating or sleeping. His exes are sending him things about Kenya from 25 years ago and things are just really difficult. She says the pressure is too much (from production telling her that Marc must be on the damn show) and she doesn’t wanna get divorced. It’s just heartbreaking and makes me feel bad for even running the story in the first place. Although, it would have come out anyway.

Sheree has found three people, probably bloggers, to pretend to be her friends and film a scene with Kandi at Kandi’s house.  Apparently, they are going to play the part of her kids to she can practice telling them that their father was physically abusive toward her. Correct me if I am wrong, but don’t kids generally already know this? Even Sheree admits that she knows the kids have heard about it on social media. Kandi gives Sheree the perfect script to introduce the topic. Kandi is great at this. Sheree not so much.

Noelle has a boyfriend in Charlotte. That explains why she went to prom in Charlotte. But the real reason Noelle wants to live there is because Peter is going to actually have his own spinoff there.

At Shamea’s bridal shower, when Porsha and her sister arrive and sit at the table with Kandi and Sheree. Kandi gets up and walks off. Porsha tells Sheree that she can’t fly coach to Kenya because she has vasovagal syncope. Sheree doesn’t believe her. I do believe her because vasovagal syncope is when your blood pressure drops really fast and you faint. It has happened to Porsha before at a mall. However, to my knowledge is has nothing to do with sitting for long periods of time. It’s more like when people are standing at attention for long periods of time. So she’s telling the truth about having it, but the long flight in coach would probably not trigger it.

I am not going to even recap the stupid bridal games. Shamea is pissed that Porsha is not coming to her wedding. Porsha is pissed it was bring brought up again in front of everyone. Shamea and Porsha get into a huge fight outside the venue when Porsha is getting ready to drive off. Shamea says Porsha put Phaedra in front of her during the last filming season and they never saw each other. Now she doesn’t want to be in her wedding. This relationship is broken.

Next week: Sheree throws a party for her mother (that was the worst thing for production to film and continue to hide the lack of basic things necessary to have a party in an unfinished house with no certificate of occupancy. Besides the fact that the city has strictly forbidden her from having parties in the house with no CoO. Gregg has his health scare (that I am told Nene really played up) Cynthia starts her fake relationship with Will. Porsha’s sister doesn’t want film with her anymore either.

    The episode was ok but I’ll be honest, the ratings are declining because it’s been the same storyline and cast for the past several years. Every other city gets new cast members, storylines, etc but Atlanta is stuck with the same shit season after season. Porsha does not fit with the format of the show anymore and should have been fired along with Phaedra but for some reason Bravo thinks we want to see her when in all honesty we don’t. She could have been a friend to the show like Danielle and they could have added someone new. Shamea has a storyline and should have been a wife and obviously if you watch tonight’s episode Porsha thought so to that’s why she was declining to come to the wedding. I will say though even though Michael is the devil the show doesn’t have the negative undertones the way it did when Carlos was a producer so for that I give him thumbs up. Kenya, Porsha, Cynthia and Kandi have reached there peak on this show and while I won’t be tuning in like I did in the past I hope that bravo refreshes this cast for season 12 even though I know they won’t. Married to medicine is way better than this show to me now and it’s situations are real and not made up just for screentime, Shamea was so fun tonight and definitely would have been an interesting full-time addition. The overkill cast and same storylines for about 7 year’s now isn’t working anymore.

    PS Shamea stop trying with Porsha, you guys friendship will never be the same so just move on and live your life.

    And Married to medicine shouldn’t have been moved to Fridays to save Kim’s boring show, Shady Sundays is what people want but bravo I see you.

          Instead of thinking you are correct and loudly and arrogantly proclaiming your opinion, why not take a second and hold your tongue. You might learn something.

    I may have to skip this episode because eh, doesn’t sound to entertaining. Also does this show air things out of order often? I recall Shamea’s bridal party being filmed way at the beginning of production with 50 Cynthia followed after. As far as one of Cynthia’s dates i believe he was on the first episode at her party.

    Also, I was thinking about all that meat that Porsha was wasting because “meat is poison.” and while chatting about it with someone on Twitter it occurred to me that Porsha claims to work with her grandfathers charity that feeds the homeless and there she is on national TV throwing away tons of food that those people would love to have.

    This yet again is not a good look.

      Somehow I doubt that she really threw it away. She made a big production of taking some of it out and placing it on the kitchen counter then she said she was going to leave it for her assistant to handle. I’ll bet he handled it all the way back into the refrigerator and freezer.

    Glad to see Porsha getting some crap. She deserves it with her big mouth and violent ways. She should of been fired after last season.

    Cynthia just looked plain silly tonight. Was embarrassed for her. Shereé too.

    Surprised production was shown with Kenya.

    Didn’t notice or miss that Nene wasn’t there.

    Married to Medicine should be the lead in for Atlanta instead of Kim’s stupid show.

      I agree with the remarks about Cynthia. Why can she not be single for as long as she wants to Be? How low down has Bravo have to go to portray cynthia as a cougar or a MILF. Cynthia is fabulous, all by herself. I hate the pain that she had to suffer from a user like Peter. I hope that she finds her heart’s desire.

    I hope Kenya gracefully bows out of this sinking ship of a show. She deserves better. I can’t with Cynthia’s storyline this season, it’s almost as bad as all the scenes with Bob and Porsha’s fake boyfriend last season. Carmon’s shade was the best thing out of this waste of an episode. Shamea should’ve had a peach this season. However I assume she was too busy being a newlywed to care though. I thought it was ridiculous that Sheree had to invite herself and her friends to Kandi’s guest house to film because they can’t film at the chateau. ?

      When Sheree introduced her ‘friends’ it sounded like she was reading from a hood version of Cluedo.. “Basic gay guy, he gon’ tell you like it is… Woman with the fleeky nails, she always come with the tea… etc etc” Like, girl… if you’re that interested in an outsiders perspective why not contact an abuse survivors support group, not some randoms pulled in from Mama Joyce’s streets.

        No one is making anyone go to the wedding. The wedding was not a destination wedding. It was a wedding where the groom’s family lives. If your best friend is getting married and wants you in the wedding, you find a way to make it work. Shamea’s cheerleading friends went. Kandi and Todd went. plenty of people were able to go. The point was Porsha didn’t want to go.

I just got finished arguing with a company for another show that was not nearly as easy to work with as the others are. So THAT might effect future uses, lol. We shall see. I’m glad to let Radar have that last one. There were half a dozen back and forths during the sever move and I just ran out of patience with them sheer stupidity of it all.

    I hate to say it, but I do hope Kenya is done with RHOA after this season. I find it hard to muster sympathy for a husband who won’t appear on camera and support his wife, and the other women will just seize on the issue and harp on it until it fractures their relationship. Assuming her husband can afford to support her, she’d be better off selling up and moving to Brooklyn, and taking on reality projects where she can appear by herself for shorter periods of time. I’m sure the types of show that book Brandi Glanville would break their neck to book Kenya – she’d be great for Celebrity Big Brother, for instance.

    Alternatively, she should open a restaurant (with her husband as a background partner) and get Bravo to give her the spin-off she deserves. In fact, why has she never had a spin-off before? Kandi has had at least three, and one of those – the awful ski trip one – practically became The Don Juan Show. If Kandi’s hangers-on are interesting enough for a spin-off, I’m sure Kenya is.

    I notice Sheree is suddenly incredibly interested in being friends with Shamea. Two scenes together in one episode? I’m not sure we’ve ever seen them exchange more than an air kiss before. I guess all those rumors about Kandi and Shamea got her excited last season. Do you think the closets at Chateau Sheree are comfortable?

      Just when I thought Johnny could say nothing ridiculous. Kenya and a restaurant spinoff in NYC? There is no sanity at all in that suggestion. And yes, her husband can support her. And she has her own revenue streams outside of RHOA.

      She’s been preparing Moore Manor for sale since she started building it. She got all those high end finishes in exchange for advertising. She’s going to make a mint on that house.
      She already seems very happy in Brooklyn.

        LOL! Go with me on this, TT! Her husband invests in restaurants, right? And I selfishly want some kind of Kenya spin-off, although her Bravo bridges may have been burned after this season (and her marriage probably stands a much better chance away from reality TV, anyway).

        In all seriousness though, I hope she does leave Bravo behind to secure her happy marriage, and to finally have the babies she’s always wanted. Her happy ending is long overdue.

    I have what Porsche has, it’s an autonomous nerve disfunction. It can be triggered by anything related to the autonomous nervous system. People just generally have a low threshold for a couple of specific triggers. I have fainted on a plane before and I probably wouldn’t have if I had been in a row where I could recline my seat. I think that’s what she means. ITS NOT a dangerous condition at all. But it stopped me from getting my connecting international flight in Boston. They made me stay the night.

    Call me suspicious but why is Kenya’s new husband so stressed out at the idea of being filmed for her show? Does he have something to hide? And, why is this married man even dealing/listening with/to his Exes about stuff that happened 25 years ago way before he and Kenya met?

    For me, RHOA is no longer must see TV and hasn’t been for several seasons. However, I must come here to read TT’s recaps and commentary.

    I just rewatched the episode and during the scene where Porsche and her sister were driving to Shamea’s wedding shower, they kept showing the exterior of her car. Thing is, it was Kenya’s car (a Bentley) and not Porche’s (Rolls Royce). What’s up with that?

      I clocked that too! I was like, how many $300 grand cars does one ageing sex worker own?

      Then I realized they simply mixed the two cars up and used footage of Kenya’s car instead of Porsha’s. Not the first time they’ve done this – last season they showed Kenya driving in an old-style Range Rover, then pulling up at Moore Manor in the new-model Range Rover Sport. They desperately need better continuity people.
