In case you missed it, Kenya Moore posted her third Sunday photo about her miracle childbirth process tonight. It’s a photo of Kenya in labor with Marc by her side. Clearly Kenya is over the moon about her precious baby girl and the support of a lovely husband. So it absolutely blew my mind when someone I like and who is a friend of the site just started going in on Kenya saying all manner of vile things. My blood pressure is through the roof. I feel like I am going to have an aneurism. It wouldn’t both me at all I ban people every day for much less, but this is a friend of the site who has been here for years. I literally thought he had been hacked and contacted him privately and he doubled down on the behavior. It’s crazy and I can’t believe this is happening. Meanwhile in prepping for this post, it looks like a snooze fest based on the official summary alone. I say all that to say I really don’t even feel like recapping this at the moment. Hopefully the episode will surprise me. Kandi receives some interesting information about Dennis tonight, That’s the most interesting thing in the summary; however, does anyone really care about the Porsha and Dennis storyline?
/Deep Breaths
Eva and Porsha go to work out together. Apparently, Eva has done a thing or two with Dish Nation as well. Eva just love to tell us she is a model. Tonight she wants us to know that models do not have big booties, except for Cynthia Bailey. Eva is not doing herself any favors constantly taking jabs at Cynthia. Did I miss some big fall out with them? I know Eva trashed Cynthia’s man before Mike but Cynthia is happy with Mike now and I just don’t get the disrespect by Eva. I do get her disrespect toward Marlo though. Everyone has issues with Marlo. Then Eva says she and Cynthia got along great in Miami and goes right back to shading her for her age.
Y’all will all the hate being escalated in this country, am I the only one that is so weary of all the negativity everywhere? Can’t we have shows about something that is women talking shit about each other?
Next we are off to MD Anderson in Houston to go on a doctor’s appointment with Nene. and Gregg. I guess this is as good a place as any to point out that Nene has been in Hollywood lately going to a party for Cardi B’s clothing line, or pot line, or grill line or whatever it is she is promoting this week. I feel terrible for Gregg. He must be so scared. Walking into the Medical Center Nene takes off ahead of him as usual and he asks her to hold his hand because he’s scared. Oh also, Nene said in an interview recently that she thought about divorcing Gregg because he was a difficult patient. While Gregg is starting his IV treatments, Nene tells him not to be difficult. She stays on her phone he entire time. Then he her talking head she moans about Gregg being all over the place he cries and he is frustrated. Production really is highlighting her lack of care-giving abilities. Gregg sings a song about never giving up on the way to his scan. This is so sad to watch.
Gregg was hoping to avoid chemo. The good news is that the surgery that removed a large part of his colon seems to have gotten all the cancer. The doctor says they don’t know if there are microscopic cancer cells still floating around in his body and for that reason they are recommending chemo. This is some of the most personally invasive footage in the history of the housewives. Gregg has decided not to undergo chemotherapy. That said, just a few weeks ago he had a very, very long surgery. So perhaps in hindsight this was the wrong decision.
Kandi introduces us to her friend Shamari Devoe who is married to Ronnie Devoe from New Edition. She’s a singer from the girl group Blaque. Bell Biv Devoe performed at Kandi’s wedding. Kandi has done some writing for Blaque. Shamari has twins boys who are almost a year old. She also went to high school with Porsha.
Shamari and Ronnie go to the recording studio to make a joint recording. I feel like they have both passed their peak. I do not agree with Shamari that they will be the next Beyoncé and JayZ.
The girls all go to ATL Live to see Shamari’s group Blaque perform. They were okay. Cynthia invites everyone to a covered dish cookout at Lake Bailey. Someone Eva takes this as an opportunity to take a jab at Shamea. Apparently, Eva has decided to bring back Eva the Diva from top model to hold on to her peach. When Shamari comes to the table to meet the ladies, Nene takes an instant dislike to her. When Ronnie comes to the table, Kandi mentions that BBD was just on tour with Xscape. Then Shamari says, “You got some pointers you want to give Kandi?” What the hell is wrong with this one? Then Ronnie tells Kandi she needs to consider Xscape’s song placement. Who does this? Kandi is not interested in this guy’s musical advice. As she points out, BBD opened for Xscape.
Kandi’s OLG was such a success in the first year they are able to use their profits to open another one. Actually two more sites. One is another restaurant just like the original and the other is at the stadium and focuses more on sandwiches and things you can eat while watching the game. Anyway, Carmen comes to the new site and chats with Kandi about her trip to Miami and the conversation turns to Dennis. Kandi’s other friend Jami shows up. Jami is the girl who used to be an assistant to Porsha until she beat her up in an alley. Because, Porsha.
It is interesting to me that production is starting to highlight Porsha’s thug behavior again instead of hoping we all forget about it. Jami says she was dating Dennis for almost three years when she was on a trip and found out that Dennis was dating Porsha. Kandi says that can’t be true because she knew a couple of girls who dated Dennis during that same time period. She says one of the people she knows who dated Dennis told her that he got her face and her name tattooed on him. She also knows someone who got a Rolex from him. Jami said her friend said Dennis tattoed her name on him too. We have officially entered Jax Taylorland here. Then they say Dennis cooks for all the ladies. Jami says that is not true. He has his other girlfriends cook and then he takes it to his date and claims he made it. Sounds like he has a harem.
While the conversation with Kandi and the girls happens, we flip back and forth to Porsha talking about her Rolex and how he is going to have her face tattooed on his back so, “he ain’t going nowhere.” Oh, Porsha. Poor dumb Porsha. And her mother is just as dumb. They hug and cry like Porsha has won the dating lottery.
Next week: More of Porsha and Dennis, Kandi and Todd go to see about a surrogate for their two remaining eggs, at some sort of all cast party (Bailey BBQ) Eva and Marlo get into it.
Porsha did say ignorance is bliss and she should know.
I’d rather look at Kenya’s IG pictures.
Thanks for the recap, especially since you just weren’t feeling it.
So far this is crap, I hate the new girl and her high hubs
She was bragging too much about Devoe and comparing herself & hubby with Bey & JayZ. Lol. Devoe couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket. Isn’t he gay anyway? Smh
I agree with Pam …
Pam, I’m with you — I can’t stand the new girl either.
I found the segments about Gregg too sad to watch so I ffwd thru those. Porsha segments made me feel stupid so I ffwd thru those . Eva is so jealous of Cynthia that its embarrassing so I ffwd thru those. Shamari doesnt interest me at all. It took me 5 min to watch/ffwd thru the recording. I wish I could get those 5 minutes of my life back. I’m going to stop watching the show all together because its become a shiiitt fest of a show and I have better things to do with my time like clip toe nails or clean bathroom grout.
Shamari and Ronnie are hilarious but Bravo could have gave them their own show with the rest of Blaque and New Edition. I think they bring some fun to this dry ass show.
Nene brings nothing to the show anymore, she’s not a fan favorite anymore and Greg’s scenes make me so sad. I really wish Greg great health but his wife is intolerable.
Kandi is blah and so is Cynthia but hey she’s beautiful right?
Eva ?
Porsha is a grown ass woman, acting like a little girl. She can’t headline these episodes and the ratings show that.
Nene talks so much mess but this season ain’t it, and we got over 20 more episodes of this mess. Kenya definitely gets the last laugh for sure.
I would not surprise me if they cut down the number of episodes post production if the numbers keep dropping.
Never thought of that. That could be a real possibility.
They need to. I can’t watch it… Please bring Kenya back.
I just saw a commercial for cotton that had a guy on a first date showing her all the names of his ex girlfriends tattooed all over him. “Dating can be uncomfortable but your clothes don’t have to be. Cotton.”
It made me think of Dennis (and Jax immediately).
Bwahahahahahahahahaha TT. Poor Porsha, I just…I guess sometimes the best lessons are learned the hard way and Porsha seems to always learn the hard way. Praying for Gregg, NeNe is a beast and it’s not cute. I saw that monstosity she wore to Cardi B’s FashionNova launch party. She needs to stay home and love on that man instead of being in the streets looking a mess. This is when Gregg’s family need to put their foot down, it’s disgusting.
What about the Ralph Breaks the Internet ad with 3 RH? Gizelle’s dress likely expensive but you can see the thread connecting the embellishments (on the sleeves mostly) even on a small screen.
Didn’t see anything out of the ordinary with Nene and Greg’s trip to the hospital as far as her compassion for him. Of course Kenya is still in her feelings about RHOA if she is posting on IG the day RHOA is on. She has a new husband and baby. She should just leave RHOA behind. Doesn’t RHOA get the best ratings for all the HW franchises? I think they will be okay.
When did Kenya mention RHOA? Where do they find people like you?
Kenya isn’t referencing RHOA, so what are you talking about? It’s in fact bravo who can’t leave her name be. Everything she post on her IG page, bravo copies and post on their blog and twitter page, because they know they fcked up, and will still use Kenya for rating even when she’s not on the show, their posts about her is usually their only popular post.
And that’s why Nene is so angry, Kenya is not on the show, yet bravo and the viewers won’t stop talking about her.
Thank you for the recap!! Ugh w/Nene. Didn’t Greg basically sponsor her when she was still a stripper and trying to make it? Pay it forward Nene!! I find this incomprehensible. Meh with Eva especially the shade to Cynthia!! This is why we can’t have nice things. Sez TT. I have liked Nene in the past but can’t with this behavior towards Greg. And yes, Kandi REALLY needs opinions from her opening act. Love her so much.
Eva is beautiful and she won a reality show for modeling even though she is only 5’6 or 5’7”, well below the standard height of a model.
She was lucky and has had some success with modeling and various reality shows.
Cynthia is a legitimate model, very successful in her prime and is still drop dead gorgeous. Cynthia is recognized for her modeling career. She is also good with money ( loan to Peter notwithstanding). Her income has sustained her lifestyle. She is now on a reality show and using it for her new business ventures.
Eva could learn a lot from Cynthia. Unfortunately, Eva has resorted to insulting Cynthia in order to keep this reality show gig. Maybe someone told Eva she needs to add some drama in order to stay on the show. Her status as a model will never match Cynthia’s. Eva’s biggest professional accomplishment is winning The Top Model show. Hopefully, appearing on this show will jumpstart/reinvigorate her career and she can let go of her petty (jealous?) behavior.
It’s not good when a model is known more for her conflicts with her child’s father than her actual modeling work. She should actually thank him, their social media disagreements put her back in the public eye, in my opinion.
So true!!!!
Both Eva and Cynthia were working models. Cynthia has never been a supermodel or even a top model in her prime. She’s never even been on the major fashion magazines. To stay working, she modeled for clothing catalogs and has been on a couple of Essence covers. She never even had a major cosmetic deal like the real supermodels. I’m not sure what lifestyle you’re talking about, but Cynthia was never making any major money until she got on RHOA. She actually was broke the first season.Although, I’m not sure why Eva continues to shade her, I think she is trying to do a lot to sustain her peach at all cost.
Hmmm … couple of Essence covers. I see you. Funny, I knew who Cynthia Bailey was before RHOA.
Cynthia is stunning and had a great modeling career, Haters gonnna hate,
Rmicu, you summed that up so nicely! Eva knows that a successful housewife has to bring some drama and Cynthia is all she has to attack thus far. Eva really has an idyllic life with a successful husband, beautiful children/family and successful career. Boring in realty TV world. She can’t come for NeNe or Kandi as that would lead to her demise. That leaves Cynthia until she gets to engage further with the rest of the cast. Let’s just hope she can find a more appropriate “beef” as the episodes continue.
Not giving this show one second. I will not even flip on that channel when RHOA is on. I love Kandi and I can put up with Cynthia. What Nene and bravo are doing with Gregg is despicable!! Kenya is everything. These girls and this channel dropped the ball big time. I am team twirl.
?
My heart goes out to Gregg and his family. I wish him the best and prayers for a full recovery.
Thank you for the recap TT. I haven’t watched any of this season. This is a first for me. I’ve watched every episode of every HW franchise. Part of me is being pulled in just to see how really bad it is but your description and the comments, I’m going to stay strong again this week and decline viewing.
I feel bad because I’d hate to see this franchise end. They just haven’t picked (kept/fired/hired) good HWs in forever! Ummm, Marlo, a HW? WHAT? I could go on about others but I’m going to stop right there.
I forgot to question the dating pool as well! Why do these women seem to date or have dated the same men? NYC seem to do the same and they know everything about a very small group of persons of interest. Weird.
I haven’t actually watched this show in years but do enjoy your recaps. I hope Greg beats his illness then dumps Nene and makes her pay support.
Gregg is not the saint everyone is making him out to be now due to his cancer. However, I feel compassion for the guy which is more than I see from Nene. Who gives interviews saying they thought about divorcing their spouse for having cancer? Even if you are that dark hearted you should at least try and hide it from the public who watches your show.
It’s one thing to joke about your partner being a bad patient if they have diverticulitis yet eat ALL of the off limits food; not that I have any personal experience with that example. Wink wink. But I can honestly say I never thought my late hubby was bad for being scared of cancer treatments, complained about improperly controlled pain after a tumor resection, or decided to go party when he could no longer take care of his basic needs. So yeah, Nene makes me furious. Occasionally bitching about your mate being shitty taking care of non terminal diseases is normal. When stage 3 cancer is the diagnosis, it’s not a normal thought. You just want them to live another however many months as normally and happily as possible. Sorry. I’m not trying to do a woe is me tale; I just can’t fathom why Nene is putting such bizarre and seemingly bad behavior on display.
I totally agree. By the way, do you know if the kids Gregg had with his first wife are there for Gregg? I hope they, because he needs all the NON-sensationalized support he can get.
Correction to my previous comment: I meant to say I hope they ARE…
I use to like kandi but she’s bitter Betty pulling out people from the dead to protray to try and ruin porsha’s relationship. Jami from season 7? Really kandi you and production are messy.
Eva can’t stop talking about Cynthia? Bashed her in the first episode and now the 3rd! Bravo done such a good job replacing Sheree with mean ole Eva.
Sharmari isn’t right for the show I don’t think she’s going to be good for the show.
This season is just dire
Did I miss something?? When did Nene say she thought of divorcing Gregg because he has cancer?? I can’t stand her so I’m not surprised she thought it— just surprised she said it out loud…
Holy s***, I’d like to see that interview. I understand it can be very, very difficult to care for a partner with a serious long-term illness, but there are certain things you just don’t SAY. Poor Gregg. I really hope he beats this. I was watching the RHOA season 1 episodes yesterday and his little speech about friendships that he gave during the last episode made me tear up. He’s a good dude.
I read it in an interview somewhere. I was too disgusted to post about it. I think it might have been Ebony..
Honestly I like Sharmari and her husband coming for Kandi! It’s funny how she looked dismissive but you could tell her feelings (as usual) were hurt! Kandi sitting around with Porsha’s ex assistant was another example of her having “mad day”, now if Porsha were to meet up with Phaedra for one second (yes I know it won’t happen), her mouth would be bunched up tighter that a shriveled up grape. I also don’t have a problem with Eva dropping a little shade towards Cynthia, it’s true she is 33 and Cynthia IS 51. lol
You are kinda making it sound like being 33 is better than being 51. It’s not, unless looks are the only thing that matter to you. With age comes some beautiful, invaluable things (like clarity and wisdom) that matter more than being cute. Keep on living, and, hopefully, at some point you will realize exactly what I mean.
I don’t know, maybe I’m just too much of a hater, but I really enjoyed that shade that Shamari’s husband threw at Kanda re: “stage journey.” I’m even willing to overlook the fact that it was painfully obviously cued up and clearly intended to ruffle Kandi’s feathers. Kandi needs to be humbled a little bit, I think.
There is no right or wrong decision regarding chemo. If a patient doesn’t want it , then that’s their decision . It’s Greg’s decision & his alone.
I 100% after with you. It’s Greg’s decision. The thought of chemotherapy is so frightening and a hard decision to make, especially when you are through all the appts and heating the good and the bad news. I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in 2005. Not to common for someone in their late 30s. I decided to have chemo and I survived. I viewed chemo as God’s extension of His healing process. Praying for Greg to survive too.
Correction…..I 100 agree with you. Because of colon cancer is part of this season story lines, I just can’t tune in for the sadness. I will stick to the recaps.
I’m so happy you beat cancer!! Happy Thanksgiving!?
Can’t . Watch . Anymore. Deleted timer from my DVR after last night. Will read the recaps by TT. Goodbye garbage!
Porsha is pathetically thirsty. Nene and Marlo are borderline despicable. Eva is so boring she has to resort to ripping Cynthia for a storyline and that beyond fug outfit she wore to Shamari’s show should get her shut down. Does Shamari REALLY believe she is a threat to Beyonce? Please.
.Only Cynthia and Kandi have an iota of class and Kandi keeps getting funnier. I hope they get a majority of new ladies next season.
I am ROFWL at TT’s synopsis. Hilarious! As for my thoughts:
1. Nene – I realize that illness can make everyone affected behave badly. But, IMO, Nene was so insensitive, dismissive, and rude at the Texas doctor’s office that I felt twice as sorry for Gregg. When my ex had (an earlier stage) of colon cancer years ago, I felt deficient because, other than with babies and puppies, I am not naturally nurturing. But, after watching Nene, I feel like maybe I didn’t do so bad after all!
2.Cynthia – I say the same thing every time: She is too functional (as opposed to DYSfunctional) for RHOA. Functional = boring. But, she is a nice distraction from the mess because she is so pretty, classy, and graceful.
3.Shamari – So far, I’m not at all impressed. She acts like she’s soooooo glad just to be on tv.
4.Kandi – More of the (good) same. None of the (bad) same.
5. Eva – Either she is really petty, or she’s trying too hard to keep her job. My guess is that she’s an okay woman who will end up making herself look like some shady chick she is probably not at all.
6.. Kenya – missed.
7. Sheree – not missed.
I lost my Dad to Colon Cancer in 2016. I feel so bad for Gregg My Dad had.surgery and endless chemo treatmens. I hope it is just denial on NeNe’s part. Family support is so imeportant. I wish Gregg the best.
As much as I dislike Nene and Her hater mentality, I do believe she is scared and to watch a love go through cancer is so overwhelming for the family too. She can’t be that heartless.
You are kinda making it sound like being 33 is better than being 51. It’s not, unless looks are the only thing that matter to you. With age comes some beautiful, invaluable things (like clarity and wisdom) that matter more than being cute. Keep on living, and, hopefully, at some point you will realize exactly what I mean.
Give it a rest, my comment stands as it is. If you’re looking for an argument, look elsewhere. Your opinion is your’s and that’s good. Take from my comment anything you want, but most importantly perhaps you should grasp what I stated first? Which was “it’s true she’s 33 and Cynthia is 51”! That’s a fact NOT an endorsement either way. SMH
Why so defensive? I did not ask you to change your comment or expect you to do so.That would defeat the purpose of having a forum in which we can share our various perspectives! Nor did I challenge the fact that Eva is 33 and Cynthia is 51. I just attempted to enlighten you. Sorry you missed the point. Regardless, I respect your opinion.(Bless your heart.)
I haven’t watched this crap show since Nene’s infamous Uber comment. That said, the other night, there was nothing interesting on t.v. so I made the mistake of tuning into RHOA. OMG! Pprsha’s ignorance, Eva’s pettiness, Nene’s callousness, the list goes on. Why oh why did I go there? I can’t get Nene’s question to the Texas doctor out of my head! How beatable is it???? Who asks that question in front of the person dealing with it? Did she want an expiration date from the doctor? When my late husband was dealing with cancer treatment, we refused to entertain any possible expiration dates, or treatment success ratios. We wanted to take each day and try to make it positive and move it forward. This show is absolutely dead to me now. I just can’t watch such bullshit.
Ummm how is Eva shading Cynthia at ALL? Cynthia was a legit model and broke boundaries. Lol
Thanks for the recap, just can’t w out Kenya and Porsche is just stupid AF. Sorry I know the commenting rules- stupid is as stupid does
For probably the first time, I erased the show without watching it. Gregg’s cancer is just breaking my heart, I feel for him so much, and cannot bear to watch Nene being selfish at a time like this.
