Tonight’s RHOA recap we will see one marriage continue to deteriorate, while another couples marital path begins. Here is hoping for another episode of RHOA with little to no Nene Leakes. Wait. What fresh hell is this? It’s like a Black and white movie leading up to the big proposal. Mike takes his daughters and Noelle to pick up the ring. I still find it weird that Noelle is living with Mike in LA though. (Blind Item Reveal).
Then we see PJ and her resting angry cat face getting ready to celebrate Dennis’s birthday. I love that kid’s perpetual stank face. It’s hysterical.
Snake Gate Part 97
Cynthia meets up with Marlo for lunch. She orders a tuna melt and that sounds so good! I am on my third can of soup today. I have been in bed for a couple of days with full on snot head. Just trying to keep my airways open has been a challenge. This cold just keeps coming and going. Cynthia looks gorgeous as usual. First they talk about Kenya’s antics at Marlo’s “wig launch.”

Cynthia wants to know is Marlo is the snake. Now Bravo has paid Marlo and Yovanna (grossly different sums of money) to be the bone carriers between Nene and the other girls. However, all the shit talking at Cynthia’s wine cellar was part of Kandi’s post cast and was not some top secret taping. I feel like that is the “tape” they keep talking about. Marlo of course denies anything to do with it. And she pretends the accusation is making her cry. Cynthia pretends to believe Marlo.
Olé G?
I know these Old Lady Gang Restaurants are doing well. But do they really need to add some sort of Mexican Cantina? Do you know how many authentic Mexican restaurants there are in Atlanta? There is literally one on every corner. I could walk to at least three from my house.

Kandi feels like Todd has way too many things going on at once. Plus they are having a baby. She also wants to spend more time with her husband and the new baby.
The Bailey Wine Cellar Grand Opening
Bailey’s Wine Cellar is finally ready to open. I feel like it has been open for years! It’s also where Mike is going to propose. Marlo arrives with a card from Nene. She apparently could not be bothered to film. The card was very nice though. Cynthia tears up. So does Kandi. Mike whispers to Kandi to stick around. Kandi texts Kenya to hurry up and get to the event because she thinks Mike is going to propose.

Kenya comes in looking like a million bucks in a pink pantsuit. She has clearly shed all of the baby weight. She invites Cynthia and Kandi on a trip date while all of the guys are in town. Kenya reads the card from Nene in a voice she says is Nene’s voice. She laughs. Kenya talks about Yovanna being the snake. Yovanna is there so that should be interesting. Yovanna wanted to be sure that Cynthia got the card from needs and the box of Cheez-its or whatever she sent.
Can No One Keep A Secret?
Kenya tells Cynthia that she thinks that Mike is going to propose tonight because his whole family is there. Cynthia says she doesn’t think so because her mom is not there. But she is there. Kandi is furious that Kenya spoiled the surprise and pulled her to the side to tell her to stop running her mouth. Kandi calls Kenya a bitch in her talking head. She tells Kenya will never tell her anything ever again. I’ve haven’t seen Kandi this pissed off in a while.

Cynthia thanks the crowd for coming. Then Mike lifts his glass and says he would like to propose….long pause…. a toast. One of his daughters brings him a bottle of champagne to pop. Then he gets down on one knee and proposes. Everyone cries.
Triple Threats
Kenya has bought a new fancy car that can drive itself. Tonight Marc is driving it on their way to go meet Kandi, Todd, Cynthia and Mike for dinner. Marc is really just dickish about everything. I don’t think he is thrilled she bought a car. It’s probably a rental anyway.

Dinner was awkward. Marc gets roped into talking about his proposal to Kenya. You can tell he doesn’t want to talk about it. He says one night Kenya flew up to Brooklyn without telling him and came in late at night. She woke him up and he went to grab the ring. I guess before she could find it. He gave it to her and said, “Look who is official, now.” Ugh. He didn’t get down on one knee or ask the question. However, he says he was really romantic on their wedding day. Kenya said that was the happiest day of her life…
Second To Winning Miss USA?!
Kandi is a little shocked that Brooklyn’s birth didn’t make the top two list of happiest days of Kenya’s life. Kenya asked the others if they did premarital counseling or a prenup. Kandi says the prenup almost killed their relationship. Mike is open to premarital counseling. Marc didn’t want a prenup. Marc would have found a conversation about a prenup insulting. Kenya said she has been a corporation since she was 19. She’s self made. Now if she and Marc built something together that’s another story. He says he fixed Kenya Moore Haircare for her because it was a mess. This whole dinner is messy.
Kandi asked Marc if they were to decide to divorce, and Kandi wanted money from his restaurants. Marc says she can take it. He built it from scratch he can do it again. Marc says Kenya is a little more into being flashy than she is. Kenya disagrees. Girl go on with all your fancy clothes and trips with Brooklyn to Paris and your self-driving car. The next thing you know we are suddenly talking about how nice Marc thinks Nene Leakes is. Boy, bye. You need to have more respect for your wife than that ! Kandi said the same thing in her talking head.
Next week: Everyone goes to Toronto and things get heated when Nene Leakes shows up and starts putting hands on people. AGAIN.
Kandi and Cynthia are the most successful women on this show with flourishing businesses and really don’t need this show but I guess the money is good.
Wishing Cynthia and Mike all the best!
Eva needs to be impeached immediately because she has brought nothing 8 episodes in and can just fall back into a friend role.
Kenya was so worried about keeping her peach that she she almost ruined Cynthia’s surprise by talking too much.
Does Kenya know that she’s not a producer for this show and just the talent?
She wants to make a good show but goes overboard with her antics. I love me some Kenya but maybe her being off this show is what’s best for her mental because she seems miserable as hell.
That dinner scene was uncomfortable to watch because it felt like her and Marc was in competition with who could say the most vile things to one another.
This show works my nerves seeing damn near 50 year old women act this way for money and fame.
“Does Kenya know that she’s not a producer for this show and just the talent?”
No and this is why production hates her. PRODUCTION also really hates Nene.
But it is BRAVO that has the last call in who stays and who goes. So a lot of production people have just stopped taking the RHOA work.
Yovanna has been cut from pretty much everything after the Toronto episodes.

I did think that was shady of Kenya when she about ruined the surprise. I didn’t blame Kandi for being pissed. I have a mother in law who has always had to have the floor, be the center of attention, be the first to tell something, make everything about her. It’s annoying as hell.
Wow Marc was so mean and rude.
Imagine how he is when the cameras aren’t there. I don’t get why he was such a jerk.
I think mean and rude is the kind of person he is.
Just like the woman he “married”!
😂😂😂 Too funny! At this point, I have to say I agree 100% with your assessment. From day 1, I supported Kenya—not because I liked her, but for other reasons. My support weakened when she came at TT about her wedding all crazy-like. Still though, I wanted to see her win. But, now that I know that she tried to rain on Cynthia’s engagement parade, I am done with her. I think the same thing of her that I think of Nene: a full-blown exorcism is probably the best remedy for getting the evil out.
Yes!! @Heidi!! Why in the world would Kenya tell Cynthia she thought Mike was going to propose!!?? Just to be messy and in the “mix”…she’s too much, and I can’t with her. I wish she’d leave again! I love how Kandi gave it to her!!
There was absolutely no reason for Kenya to belittle her husband by bringing up how unromantic his marriage proposal was. It started a fire at dinner, and it was rude to upstage Cynthia’s celebration. But wow, Marc gave it right back to her by spilling fresh scalding hot tea that he helped her “fix” Kenya Moore Hair Care. Nobody knew about that mess until he mentioned it. To use one of my mom’s old sayings: those two are six of one and a half dozen of the other…aka 2 peas in a pod.
On the bright side, somehow the episode was interesting even though its highest paid cast member was a no-show.
My question is, did Kenya intentionally try to spoil the proposal or did production make her bring it up. Lastly the dinner was really hard to watch, very cringe worthy. Is this relationship real or fake? Kenya and Mark’s interaction with one another comes across so crazy that it makes you think “is this really or fake”. I’ve had better interaction with ex ex boyfriends then these two.
It was crazy. Kenya’s talking head was crazy too when she’s laughing about Mark being the type to pick dirt up off the ground and throw in your face. She laughs at things that have got to be hurtful. It reminded me of the video she posted on the way to their tv interview. It was obvious he was not in a good mood with her that day and she kept poking and laughing about it,
The other comment at dinner on this episode regarding her best days & one not being the child she wanted so badly was strange also, as is her not liking that Marc puts Brooklyn above her.
I don’t understand why Kenya has stans. She’s a fucking bitch, and not a good friend. Since her return she betrayed Cynthia, Eva & Kandi’s trust by telling Porsha about Sincere. Then she betrays Kandi and steals Mike’s thunder by almost ruining his proposal. The only reason why I’m happy she’s back is we get to see adorable Brooklyn.
I actually enjoyed watching her discomfort during that awkward dinner. She threw the first punch by dissing Marc’s proposal in front of everyone. He gave it right back and then and then some.
I’m glad to hear you also enjoyed the dinner. I sat there the entire time with a smile on my face — she deserved everything she got!!
Kenya is very smart. By fighting with Marc on camera she is giving Bravo what they want while also cementing her own narrative of Marc’s stank ass behavoir. Brava Kenya you should be cast on Survivor next. Outmatch.Outwit. Outplay. Conquer.
Yuck, she is not authentic.
You are so right. First, I don’t believe she meant harm in suggesting he may propose. Kenya is kid like with certain things. She was excited for Cynthia, and like a kid, could not contain giving her a hint. Kandi just needed to create a scene for herself. And, as my mother used to say “A secret is not a secret unless you and only YOU know it.” Hell, Mike had too many hands in the soup. Made up storyline. Now, that dinner. A hot mess. Now, we see why Kenya was keeping him off camera. He is a New Yorker in personality. He has to have some good D (LOL) because she is missing the intimacy, and he is very arrogant (knows he has good d, and probably a big one). He is attempting to control Kenya by withholding affection and dinging her. He probably gave her suggestions on her financials, which is cool. And, believe me he is not dumb. He worked on Wall Street, being nice to Nene is a set-up. The bigger question to this story, is it a storyline they are working on together? You have to wonder. If so, Bravo! Keep the coins going. If not, Bravo! Because she is using her storyline for additional storylines.
Thank you 🙏 kenyaStan for your assessment of the situation. looking at the situation, Kandi was a little too much for believing Kenya Moore would purposely want to ruin Cynthia’s big surprise. Let’s not be fooled with this reality tv nonsense, Cynthia knew the script and was well informed Mike Hill was going to propose. Even Cynthia is not a good player. she has been drumming up to this moment. Unfortunately, some one had to throw a little controversy to keep the conversation going. Among the cast, who would have been closest to Cynthia to drive it, beside Kenya, Eva or Nene. Tired of Kandi always trying to appear like a saint because she likes the praises from social media. All these housewives are social media. I only watch for pure entertainment and can’t stand some folks throwing unnecessary nasty insults at Kenya.
I’m saying the woman is a genius. It’s almost scary but I live. Brooklyn Daly is going to conquer the world with Kenya as her mother. Game, Set, Match – KENYA.
At the end of their bickering at dinner, Marc said to Kenya “good job”…sort of sarcastically breaking the fourth wall by telling her she’d done a good scene for the show. That was super mean/shady.
Unfortunately, “Outmatch, Outwit, Outplay, Conquer isn’t helping her with the loving and caring relationship/marriage she desires.
As for ” Marc’s stank ass behavior” maybe he’s just mirroring Kenya’s behavior back to her.
Kenya is an unhappy person and always trying to dull the joy of others. She was determined to spoil Mike’s proposal by telling Cynthia…”I have a feeling he’s going to propose” when Kandi already told her that was Mike’s intention.
Kenya should think of going to therapy to deal with her abandonment, and insecurity issues.
Excellent point! Oh Marc, and her being on Survivor? I’m having visions of “Survivor Housewives: Season 41”. 🤣😂🤣😂 How damn funny would that be? OMG, just imagine who the contestants would be from all the franchises and how they would react…
I think Kenya may be a problem in relationships. She obviously knows how to jab at people. We’ve seen her do it repeatedly to castmates. I dont doubt she has a streak of that w mark
I agree. EVERYTHING Kenya does ON CANERA is calculated. Not a bad thing, it just is.
I may break my BraNo to the Moose Show next week, just to see the Moose stampede again.
Maybe NeNe FINALLY will be fired. But never fear … She and Vicki can star in a caberet — “OG or UG-LY?” or “OG or Pig-GY?” The hit single would be “(Hey, You) Get Offa My Show!” sung to the tune of the Stones’ “(Hey, You) Get Offa My Cloud!” Or Get Offa My Clown, as my nephew thought when he was little. But no one would know WHICH clown they were singing about.
Wow just wow( Ramona). Nene was such a dick to Kenya last year and Marc says she is so respektfull to me!!! Why Tamara does he hurt his wife like that?
You know what’s kind of crazy for me? I’m actually starting to like Marlo. I mean what the hell is that all about right? But yeah. I am. Also this episode featured what I’m going to call one of my top ten Housewives moments. I’s when Kandi calls Kenya a bitch in confessional. I just…wow. That look on her face was PRICELESS! Also I like that Kandi Laid into Kenya for ruining the proposal surprise. And Cynthia I mean that woman is getting a bone…well two I suppose if I’m going to be crass about it but one of them is definitely a backbone! That “for now” comment in her confessional was good…I believed it. I hope that side of her continues, but that her current personality stays intact because she’s one of the housewives I genuinely like watching. I’m happy for her that she found someone willing to call her his heartbeat in public. I hope for her a happy long wedded life.
Ugh, this recap is so good I may have to watch. I am in a good place (today, lol) so what the hell!
I know I am breaking my no “Neens” (as her bff would say) but oh well.
Thanks TT, really good recap 😊
I hope it’s ok to post this, and it doesn’t go against the rules. But what I’m about to say is facts, and there’s no other way to put it out there.
Last night’s episode where Marc defended and spoke glowingly of Nene will be the source of the drama thought out the season.
A few months ago, Nene made a cryptic post she’s since deleted, about someone’s spouse who hates them so much that they call their coworkers to talk about it. She was referring to Marc and Kenya. Nene visited Marc’s restaurant a few times and stroke up a friendship with him. Then Marc began calling Nene to speak unkindly about Kenya. And whenever he and Kenya had a fight, he called Nene to talk about it. Nene started asking questions, to dig up dirt for the show, and Marc was all too happy to give the information. The production became aware and they’re going to use this for a storyline against Kenya.
Nene is friends with the owner of the blog that begins with All and ends with Tea. She passed on the information she’s gotten from Marc to the owner of the blog. The blog owner felt emboldened and attempted to contact Marc, because she felt because he’s friends with Nene, he’ll oblige her. He didn’t.
All of Marc’s resentment stems from money. He wanted Kenya to invest in the restaurant he wants to open, he wants to expand, to other locations, but Kenya doesn’t want to spend her money. It’s bad enough that she inherited his tax issues, which she had to pay, or he’d lost everything. He’s resentful that she spends money on herself when she should be spending on their “future”. But Kenya’s smart she knew that eventually she’d have to move from Marc because he’s NOT a nice person. When she first met him, she thought his behaviour was protectiveness, but she’s realized, that’s who is he. He is showing his true self. He is very very very mean. Her friends and family and some of us who’ve him, realize he’s just not who he pretended to be.
I can also verify that these are indeed facts. I’ve heard most of it before. But Marc wanting Kenya to invest in his restaurants is a new detail. I would have thought they were keeping everything entirely separate.
So Marc confided his personal life with Kenya to Nene. That is low, then she uses his statements to gather information for the show. They are both so wrong, it’s sickening. For all you Kenya haters, give her a break, she might stir up a bit of trouble, but she doesn’t deserve being treated like this.
Mike seems like such a nice man. I personally think Cynthia knew he was going to propose, but that’s just my gut feeling. He seems so happy with her and from what I can see, he has a nice disposition and knows how to treat a wife, unlike Marc.
That dinner was uncomfortable to watch. Marc seems to talk down to Kenya, she might add her two cents in a lot, but so what. He knew cameras were rolling and he praised Nene, but bickered with Kenya. Not nice.
Kandi calling Kenya “Bitch” in her talking head was everything!! She did it so well it didn’t even look like her. Best “bitch” call to anyone that I have ever seen.
I love watching baby PJ, she is adorable!! And her faces!!
I’ll never forget when I was getting married (the first time…tee hee), I had a friend who was jealous and territorial because she just didn’t know how to be a good friend, so I was one of very few. I didn’t know when, but I figured out there was a surprise bridal shower being planned for me, but kept it to myself.
This friend actually called me a day or two before to tell me to be surprised when the shower happened that weekend. She said it with such sweetness and sincerity. I couldn’t believe she would want to ruin that moment for me. We argued about it, but I forgave her after she apologized (she couldn’t tell me why she did it). Why? Because I knew she genuinely did not know how to be happy for me when she wasn’t happy with herself.
Watching Kenya in that scene was almost deja vu for me and I truly believe it was because her marriage was/is in shambles and she can’t stand that Cynthia has a man who adores her, and was “thawing” towards Nene. She’s a miserable woman, and she can’t help but pass out that misery to others.
I totally get having friends not happy for you. My best friend did something very similar. We are no longer friends due to her actions and her being so toxic. It took me awhile to figure out why she was doing all this back stabbing things. She blurted out her being jealous about me getting engaged before her and it all made sense. I’m not jealous of any of my friends and I always want the best for everyone so it’s hard for me to comprehend petty jealousy.
I’m purposely watching episode 1206 just for a let’s see. I can’t find anything about Tanya I like. Porsha is fun, Kenya I just don’t have figured out yet. Cynthia is acting snooty. I’ll try a couple more if time permits, lol.
(TANYA STOP SCREAMING!!!!)
Marc is replused by his wife. He may have once thought he loved her and now realizes he can’t stand her. Kenya is just needy, no man can carry all of that.
I t seems like Kenya and Marc are acting. And since they are not professional actors, it comes across as if they are trying, but not quite believable.
Could be just me, but I found it not to be believed. Kenya I cannot imagine fighting for attention with her daughter. It’s very weird, and I would think how lucky she feels how crazy he is about his daughter. Kenya doesn’t need a man’s attention like that. Nope, don’t agree.
It seems silly because it’s not convincing.
I also am under the impression Marc is private. Another reason it’s just not coming across very real. I think he took “ACTING FOR DUMMIES” to get through this taping, lol.
