Sunday night is my Monday morning when I go back to work to write a RHOA recap. Even if you love your job, and I do, starting off a new work week is a drag. But, in the past, I was extra motivated because RHOA was the biggest post of the week. These days, not so much. It seems we have lost interest. That said, the previews for this episode look more interesting than usually, so perhaps this is going to be a good episode. Let’s be optimistic, shall we? Even though the previews show that Marc Daly continues to be a poor excuse for a husband. So, here we go!
I know I am in the minority but I live for all of Eva’s scenes. It looks like she didn’t have the baby like we thought might happen on last week’s episode. So she is on modified bed rest which basically means she has to take it easy. Wait is she Facetiming her husband from inside the house?
Things Are Not Very #Chill In LA
Cynthia continues to try to hype Mike Hill’s book, Open Mike. Is this working for anyone? Cynthia is concerned with Mike’s previous infidelity. Mike seems to think only perfect people don’t cheat. Cynthia says that Mike always leaves during an argument. She’s a “stayer” who wants to talk it out. When she mocks him by storming out of the house he says to no one in particular, “That’s because I don’t want to deal with that bullshit.” Mike wants to deflect from his faults and concentrate on Cynthia’s. They agree to go to counseling. I am sure it will be TV therapy.

Kenya and Kandi are told to host a kickball game. Are we supposed to know who Shay is? She looks like a ringer for Kenya’s team. Other than Shay and Kandi the rest of them will be worried about breaking a nail. Nene is boycotting because Kenya left her sisterhood bullshit for only seven minutes. Of course Nene was several hours late to the event. Gregg has been invited to Marc’s charity event but Nene’s name was left off the list.
Just Kickin’ It
Cynthia hilariously touts her kicking skills as she arrives to the kickball field while production shows her cunt punting Porsha a few years back. Porsha gets picked last for kickball. Then Marlo shows up with someone and Kenya picks Marlo just to mess with her. I love Eva’s color commentary.
These women are playing a rough game. Kenya gets a homerun. Team Twirl kicks the crap out of Kandi’s team. Kenya is a poor winner. Kandi does not like to lose. But in the end everyone is happy and Kenya and Kandi announce the trip to Greece. Thank the baby Jesus that means the end of this season is in sight. Poor Eva won’t be able to go. Kandi is going to invite Nene.
Bonus scene! Eva modeling! YAY!
Sink Or Swim
Kenya and Marc take ten month old Brooklyn for swimming lessons. Brooklyn is already a Daddy’s girl. Marc never seems to put her down when he is in Atlanta. It’s sweet. They all sing a little song about swimming in the pool. Marc doesn’t like dunking the baby under the water, but Brooklyn seems to like it! Kenya talks in confessional about the issue of deciding where she and Marc will live.

Kenya has a couples bowling night planned. I thought Marc had met Dennis but I guess that was Tanya’s husband. Kenya says his six am hangout buddy will be there. Apparently, when Todd and Marc go out the are in the strip clubs until dawn. I feel like that sort of behavior should stop at a certain age. Let alone when you get married. Marc wants to invite Gregg and Nene. Kenya is fine with Gregg coming, but she did not include Nene on the evite. Marc has no allegiance to Kenya when it comes to her enemies. Especially, Nene. The Marc makes a joke about Kenya drowning in the pool. He’s such an ass. Kenya needs to stop tolerating that shit.
Marc Wears A Size 14 Shoe?
Well now, that’s important information. Things almost make sense now. But he’s still a jerk who says abusive things. Then they have a conversation about sex that …um… indicates that Marc is … errr very aggressive in bed.
When Dennis arrives, he explains to Marc that Detroit women are tough, Dennis knows because he is from Detroit, too. Marc says he is going to handle it. I was told that Marc hated RHOA, wanted no part of the show, didn’t want Kenya on the show, and basically hated the show. He sure seems to like the camera now though. I’m just saying. Cynthia is flying solo since Mike had to stay in LA. Eva looks great as usual and she is there for the pizza.
Is This Really A Couples Night?
Kandi and Todd Show up. Kenya invited Tanya and Paul to the couples bowling night but since Paul couldn’t come she didn’t let Tanya come. How convenient. She also didn’t invite Nene but invited Gregg. So clearly there are people there who are not with their partners. March throws Kenya under the bus by pointing out that Cynthia and Eva are their without their men. Cue the confessional with Porsha where she says that Dennis would never throw her under the bus like that. And if she didn’t like someone he would not either.

Marc says he “told” Kenya to invite everyone and he has been talking to the enemy’s husband Gregg. Who does that? There are plenty of husbands whose partners are not attacking Kenya if he needs a friend. So Nene is not invited. The conversation is about how submissive Kenya is around Marc. Also, I have no idea why Kenya decided to wear what she is wearing.
An Unfortunate Sequence Of Events
Kenya walks up on the group and asks what they are talking about. Porsha changes the subject to Tanya not being allowed to come. Porsha talks about the unfortunate situation that led to Kenya and Tanya’s falling out. Kenya makes a smartass comment. Porsha says that calling her friend a cunt was very unfortunate. Kenya says it is not her battle.

Kenya gets a strike that has her and Marc win the game. Once again she is a poor winner. Dennis doesn’t seem to be feeling her victory dance. He also lost a bet with Marc that Marc says he doesn’t expect him to pay. He just wants his time I presume he means for his charity.Kenya says that she is happy that Marc is getting more involved in the Atlanta community.Marc calls Kenya, Ken, and tells her to reign it in about the Nene situation.
Of course Nene breezes in late with Gregg in tow acting like she is the guest of honor and goes around hugging everyone like they are best friends. Or like she is high as a kite. It’s hard to say. Gregg says he can’t come to the charity event if his wife is not invited. Marc makes Kenya stand right next to him while he says they need to shelve all the nonsense for Tuesday. And that he and Kenya both want Nene there. Kandi and Porsha both talk about how submissive “Ken” is when Marc is around. Nene says the same thing in her talking head because, “Ken shuts the fuck up.”
Next week: It is Eva’s baby shower. And at Marc’s Event he trashes Kenya and says he hates being married to her.
Porsha was Dennis “Gang Gang” when he was up in other’s women’s bed while you was pregnant? You been crying about the animal lover for the majority of the season, so please sit it down sis. He’s not a looker and you have no room to talk.
Porsha has been itching to start some drama with any of the girls because without it, she’d be at the end of the sofa at the reunion. Like I said previously, Kenya and Kandi need not to trust her and should keep her at arms length for now on.
The dodge ball scene with all the girls was so fun to watch.
Eva looks so beautiful in her new confessional but I can’t with her being a peach holder.
Kenya is just hell for me at this point because I feel as if she’s not being genuine to who she truly is. I enjoy seeing Brooklyn but I’m tired of seeing Kenya be so childish. The character Kenya Moore plays on RHOA is more fit for a scripted tv show or movie but definitely not a “Reality Show” and that’s ok.
Unless Bravo plans on revamping these housewife shows, I don’t see the franchise lasting much longer. Grown 50 to 60 year old women being petty and arguing over dumb stuff is not good tv and it’s as simple as that.
I can’t believe good scripted shows are getting cancelled but a damn housewife show can get up to 20 seasons ?
Porsha’s only crime is that she’s a loyal friend to Tanya!?! Why should she place more value on a budding friendship with Kenya while Kenya obviously a bully whose behavior is totally unconscionable. Porsha is a friend who defends even when the person being defended isn’t there. Who wouldn’t value having a friend like Porsha, she has her friends back. You see Cynthia and Kandi won’t tell Kenya her shit stinks unless her shit gets on them. Who really needs friends like these.
Look a little deeper character counts to some of us.
Three times Kenya came for Tanya in Toronto 3 times. After Tanya made sure they had the best accommodations, costumes, dance lessons, suites, entertainment and more. #1 & #2 On the bus on the way to Carnival Kenya started in mimicking Tanya’s speech pattern. The other ladies thought it was a game and started mimicking each other. Leaving Carnival Kenya started, again with the mimicking of Tanya, only this time Porsha nipped it in the bud. #3 With Kenya beating around the bush about the cheating boyfriend. Oh yeah, Kenya was coming for Tanya from the beginning and for what!!! She was coming for Tanya before the wig fiasco.
Who else has Porsha come for that makes you think she’s looking for drama??
Porsha has her friends back, apparently you were not watching when she attacked Kandi and Todd, when Kandi was there for her after her divorce and gave her a job. She accused her friend of trying to drug and rape her. Porsha is a friend Kandi or Kenya don’t need.
I agree, Porsha is a very good friend. You’re right Kandice nor Cynitha they could give a dam if it’s not about them.
I think this was my most favorite episode of RHOA ever! I hope that Marc and Ken stay together FOREVER, I just love how he he shuts her shit DOWN! Porsha’ s talking heads were hilarious too ? I even liked Nene in this one, she used her nastiness beautifully in front of Marc and Ken had to take it, hahahahaha. I may keep this on my DVR forever.
So you like bullying basically ? Marc need to learn be in an alliance with his wife. Todd would never !!
redgemini, I get what you’re saying bout the bullying, but I too enjoyed the way that Marc stopped Kenya from going on and on with pettiness. She certainly does act differently when he’s there. She’s beyond, that one…IMO.
If Marc had met Kenya on her turf, he would have seen what a petty bitch she is, but he married her without knowing her. I don’t think he’s a bully, she just tries to manipulate and he is on top of her game. Marc is a professional restaurateur, he didn’t need her input when looking at spaces for his event (last week’s show). She just wants to hear her own voice. And this week’s episode, he needs
resources in order to pull off his event, which is why he wants to meet ALL the people in their RHOA circle. He didn’t ask his wife to cherry pick who she wanted.
Men don’t work like women. As you can see women like being petty and turn on one another.
Is your name supposed to be some cute play on ignorant? Because all of your comments are. You clearly hate Kenya & know nothing about her relationship with her husband; including the fact she knew him long before they married. FFS
She only knew that dude for a year before they married, and yes I despise Kenya and no very little about their relationship (like you), but she has stated how long they’ve known each other before.
1st: My comment wasn’t directed to you, so mind your fucking business.
2nd: I know a hell of a lot about Kenya & all of the housewives. So stop assuming before you make more of an ass out of yourself.
I truly love your comment, and like you said he is not for her bs.
Me, too! Porsha was priceless, her and Eva. I was in tears laughing. OMG
When a woman is super submissive to her husband in public, and also more hostile than usual to the other people in her life, that’s not a cue to “love it.” It’s a chilling sign that she is probably being emotionally (at least) abused.
Agreed. I just had two comments in moderation and one was to repeat this sentiment that watching Kenya’s husband be abusive made it the best episode ever or something. And the other was to defend Reza’s behavior toward MJ. I almost just deleted the poster. But given the state of the world, I suppose we should know the type of people who live in it,
The Bravo channel has emboldened a lot women who find watching women fight or seeing them abused is fun TV. It’s really quite chilling.
Preach, TT. I am very concerned for Kenya. She is desperately looking for love in the wrong place. Thank goodness MJ has Tommy. They should cut ties with the rest of the toxic frenemies clan. No one deserves to be abused.
Thanks for keeping your foot on the neck of this kind of destructive mindset, TT. xxoxo
Completely agree with you. I also believe that calling her “Ken” is to put Kenya in her place. It’s a way of saying you’re being too masculine and reminding her to submit to her husband as a married woman. It’s a way of shutting down a woman’s ability to speak for herself using the threat of the marriage being harmed. He knows she wants a happy family in the worst way. Shame on these ladies for supporting that abusive behavior.
I think Marc is a genuine ass. But Ken is short for Kenya and I think it’s a term of endearment. On the other hand he doesn’t seem very endeared… so maybe you are right. It seems like a bit of a stretch though.
When I heard him call her Ken I just thought it was short for Kenya. There are so many other things to criticize him for that this just seemed like a stretch.
I think Kenya actually loves Marc. I think he is mean and petty with her, like making a point to talk over her all the time. I think he is intimidated by her and overcompensates by being aggressive. I also think Mike is showing some scary personality traits and I worry for Cynthia.
My favorite episode as well. I enjoyed Kenya being taken down a few notches and how bothered she was as Nene’s presence. Can’t wait to see what Marc does next week
???
Absolutely pathetic to relish in the televised abuse of a wife & mother? You sound like Andy Cohen’s ideal viewer.
I truly hope Marc is seeing this and understanding that reality tv is not “reality”. It’s distorted truths and situations made to be bigger than what they are. Also I chat with Kenya’s ex assistant and they are still very close. He says she really only looks at this as a job and doesn’t take it seriously.
That makes a lot of sense. I do believe Kenya knows how to bring the drama, shade, etc. I can see where she may be smart enough to know this is just a job and play it up. She seems to have a pretty good business sense, not quite on the level of Kandi (who imo also sees this as a job).
Well these boys who seemed to shy from the camera last year are becoming very thirsty indeed, aside from Kansi andTodd things seem prickly with all of the other couples.
Oh and that baby Brooklyn is the cutest girl I have ever seen!
I can’t help but wonder why Kenya is so submissive with Marc. Truly fascinating to me. We have all seen her be a heifer with any / all people who cross her so it’s odd to see her so compliant towards Marc. Any tea ?
I don’t get it either. Treat him the way you treat your coworkers. Call him all those nasty names.
Just be the mean hateful person you are, maybe he would like the real you.
Marc is so disrespectful to Kenya. Why?
Is he planning on divorcing her?
Kenya lets it go. Something is amiss like Marc knows he can do whatever.
I wonder if he is cheating on her and told the paramour he is just there for the bravo check
I’m not a Kenya fan, but she doesn’t deserve to be treated that way by her husband. Anyone who thinks that type of abuse is okay, imo, is a fucking arsehole.
Agreed! And to see so many women celebrating it is scary. When he said basically she was going in the water and not coming up—it gave me chills. That type of comment is not ok.
The men we have see in Kenya’s life all seem to be abusive toward her. This has always bothered me ,but now it’s truly worrisome because she has a little girl now. I truly hope that the crap Marc says and does to her is mostly for the cameras because Brooklyn shouldn’t see her Mommy being treated that way.
Eva is just gorgeous!
I’m starting not to care about Cynthia and Mike’s stupid storyline. Going to therapy to learn how to fight? Seriously?
They need a Housewives overhaul on this show. Shamea is friends with Kandi and Porsha. She would be interesting to see and she has a baby, too. I’m not sure her African husband would let her be on the show full time though.
The kick ball game and bowling scenes were fun to watch! Shay is Kenya’s cousin. Kenya’s aunt that was on the show a few years ago is Shay’s mother.
I’m starting to think that the blind with the lisa simpson pic was about this show now, and not married to medicine. I haven’t been watching RHOA, but it sounds like it might be on its last leg…
I don’t like Ken, and I don’t like Kenya, but, Damn, her man is cold. I hope she dumps his disloyal ass.
I don’t think it’s okay to bully. But kenya is so shady. I think she knew exactly how this would make her look. People would be sympathetic if she acted submissive. And Marc would look bad. She might have already known about his other life and expected the divorce. What better revenge than to make him look like an asshole.
She has bullied her costars very badly. Before Marc was in her life.
So he isn’t the cause of her corrupt personality.
Oh look! Another one making excuses for Marc.
Yes, Ana, I am on board with what you’re saying. She treats everyone else badly and she is the epitome of shady, so getting some of her own, doesn’t really bother me. I think it’s blown up for TV, also.
I’m going to focus on the positive aspects of last night’s show. I love Eva. That’s all I’ve got.
I agree. Eva is the best thing about this show.
Eva was going to town on that ice!! That’s what had me laughing, her saying “damn, this is some good ice!”.
She’s really a very funny woman.
Kenya seems afraid of Mark? Or maybe it’s that’s she’s just so happy she has a man (and a baby with that man) that she overlooks his abusiveness? Not sure. I think her behavior towards most of the other women this season is actually her pent up resentfulness towards Mark that she doesn’t seem to be able to voice. She doesn’t seem to want to rock the boat with Mark, so she attacks everyone else in her path. I don’t think any of this is good for her child, though, so I hope things get resolved. Just my 2 cents. Kenya was way more likeable without Mark, there’s a real meanness to her now that I don’t like (and I generally like her.)
The scenes with Marc and Kenya are very hard to watch. I’m not a Kenya fan, but I feel sorry for her. She’s trying so hard to make it work with a man who is clearly uninterested and unbothered. His behavior/ attitude towards her is so abrasive and is borderline emotionally abusive.
And yes he may be physically attractive but his disdain and treatment of his wife / mother of his daughter makes him very unattractive.
If he’s acting like this in public, I can only imagine what goes on behind closed doors. Cut your losses Kenya, take your beautiful daughter, and move forward.
I realize that not all of RHOA is real. But, Kenya being in an emotionally abusive relationship is obviously very real. Marc is horrible towards her. Run, Kenya, run! That guy is dangerous.
Marc is not abusive. Kenya is just afraid of challenging him. She knows if he she the true Kenya, he’d be gone. She needs to drop the mask, stop playing coy and just be herself. If Kenya can harass and bully Tanya and go to to toe with Nene, she can chew Marc up and spit him out, if she wants do so.
Kenya Moore is nobody’s victim.
Ignorant, you can fix your misspelled name next time you comment. But your first post will go to moderation. Kenya and Marc had an extensive relationship before they got married. You don’t seem to know anything about that, but I do.
You are one hundred percent correct with your comment, Will said. Calling Tanya the c word. Now that’s very Disrespectful as hell. Then bring that girl in Tanya face. I would have laid hands on Kenya Moore. Just like Ms William. She is very disrespectful towards her coworkers if you haven’t noticed.
Do you recall how she treated Kim Fields by pulling that chair from behind her. Talking about her family.
Very Disrespectful towards Phaedra Marriage.
She has stolen some of the ladies ideal for past episodes making them her own events. (I have watched ROA from day one).
Her story line this season is about NeNe far as talking trash. She truly want NeNe off the show. The lady who started this show and has given her a platform to act a fool for money.
Where is Mrs Phaedra Park, Dwight, Lisa Wo, Sheray.
The more I see Kenya and Marc interact, the more I pity Kenya. Marc treats her like trash. Yet, the poor woman is still walking around talking about I-love-my-HUSpand-and-we-are-working-on-our-marriage.?
I don’t think she is doing that in real time. Marc issued some sort of apology prior to this show TO THE CHARITY and not her. She in response removed his last name from her IG.
