It’s time for another RHOA recap. This is only episode five. It seem like there have been more episodes than that. On the other hand there aren’t really many storylines. We have Porsha’s protest, Kenya’s marital problems, Drew’s marital problems, Cynthia’s wedding, and Kandi sending Riley off to college. None of those are particularly exciting. And Latoya is just way too much. In case you missed it, Cynthia was on Wendy Williams this week for a fairly long interview. You can click here to read that recap. I’m a bit under the weather today. I woke up with a sore chest. It feels like someone punched me in my breast bone. Weird. Feeling a bit off today. So let’s get this recap done.
Who Sends Nude Pics At 50?
The previews for tonight left a lot to be desired. I feel like these women have all reached and age where we don’t need to hear about their (production driven) sexual fantasies with each other. Nor do I really need to see them in slutty lingerie. Is it just me? I wish they had more grown women storylines. I do like the storyline of Kandi sending Riley off to college. First, Kandi and Mama Joyce have to teach Riley how to clean a bathroom. Ace is better at it than Riley.

Kenya and Latoya go to meet Cynthia to choose some wedding night lingerie. Cynthia is already annoyed that Kenya invited Latoya. So am I, Cynthia. So am I. Kenya sent Latoya a nekkid selfie. Why? I remember that my source said that this year we have “Season ? Kenya.” I forget the season. But it is apparently the one where she was annoying AF. You never know what you are going to get with Kenya. Anyway, the white lingerie that Cynthia bought did not flatter her.
Apparently, Porsha’s Dad Died When She Was A Kid
It looks like Bravo added an extra hour onto this show. Probably WWHL and Bravo Chat. Ain’t nobody got time for that. I wish I had a chili dog from The Varsity, and some onion rings and a frosted orange. I haven’t been into the city for years. Porsha’s sister Lauren feels bad for not inviting Kenya to the party. Apparently, Porsha is “writing a book.” Sigh. She doesn’t seem to know how old her sister is when she talks about he living with their dad. Porsha lived with her mother and only saw him on weekends. Then, for some reason Porsha simulates sex with Dennis for he mother. WTF? Then she cries over time missed with her father.

Cynthia and Mike’s engagement party has a #CHILL theme. It is a winter wonderland all white dinner party. It’s also white tie. Everyone seems to think that Joe Biden is coming to dinner. Porsha has shaved her head. For real. It’s grown out a couple inches now and is actually really cute. Everyone has purchased white tie outfits for the occasion. LOL. Then half the girls aren’t there when Cynthia arrives for her surprise party. Of course.
Better Late Than Never?
Cynthia asks Kenya to be a bridesmaid. She also asks Kandi to be a bridesmaid too. Marlo is 24 minutes late. Porsha is 52 minutes late. Then she goes around and kisses everyone in a pandemic. And she greets everyone while Kenya is talking. Kenya oddly starts singing on the microphone. Kandi then takes the mike away and shows her how to sing. Then Porsha gets up and sings with Kandi. Latoya arrives during dinner an hour and twenty two minutes late. Then she shows everyone at the table Kenya’s nekkid selfie. Latoya says she has it as her screen saver because, “goals.” She says she wants a butt like Kenya. Marlo jumps in with, “So you are going to get your butt done too?” And then it is on between those two. Kenya says Marlo wants to eat her ass.

Todd is watching the basketball game on his phone. Mike wants to know what the score is. These two guys are miserable. Poor things. Eventually, Kandi jumps and asks ever to please be civil and don’t ruin the dinner. Then, out of nowhere, Kenya says there are three ladies at the table who “could get it.” Kenya apparently wants to have sex with Kandi, Latoya and Cynthia. Kenya has had a couple of drinks. That is very unusual for Kenya so that might explain her behavior. Kenya confronts Porsha about not being invited to her party.
Riley Makes a Break For It!
Kandi if freaking out about driving Riley all the way to NYU with her stuff. Riley will be there for her 18th birthday. I love Kandi’s shirt. It says, “I wish Karen would.” LOL. Meanwhile, Ace is crying because he wants to go with Riley. Oh bless his heart, he wants to go with her to help her clean because she doesn’t like the dirty stuff on his hands. Can he come to my house and clean? He’s adorable. OMG Ace has talking head. I love it!

Aw, then we get a package of Riley growing up on the show. She was so little when the show started. She’s so cute! They rented a bus and a U-haul to get them to New York. There was no Drew tonight. Why? She’s full-time and Latoya is not. Yet Latoya is always in front of the camera. We see her next week working on thins with Ralph. Kandi uses her Kandi Cares charity to distribute food to those in need during the pandemic. Cynthia wants to invite her dad to the wedding. Her mom is not having it.
TT I hope you feel better. I really do. My husband had to do a covid test wednesday (negative) because he was tired and his chest felt heavy and his back hurt. Hopefully it’s a bug, he was fine after a couple days.
The naked selfie was soooooo contrived. Kenya sends Latoya of all people a naked selfie. OF COURSE MissLookAtMe will show everyone.
I dont know what else happened this episode. I spaced out on twitter for most. Todd and Mike talking scores did make me laugh. Then at the end with Cynthia and Mike in the joint confession talking about Biden was funny.
I think Marlo and Kenya don’t get along because they are more alike than they realize. Those photos were planned and Kenya knew or told Latoya to show them ( I thought that was super weird). Mike and Todd were spaced out and completely tuned the ladies out ( I can’t blame them, I would have too). This season is boring so far and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m Ready for stripper, maybe that will be more interesting. I hope they don’t drag it out like they did Candiace getting dragged.
This so far has been one of the worst seasons of Atlanta. It has nothing to do with age because all the women on the various franchises talk about sex and have fun but what the hell is going on with Kenya? She basically has no storyline, no new ventures or businesses and at 50 is gonna keep this same old tired villain character going. The character Kenya is playing on this show is played out and tired at this point and nobody cares anymore. The stuff with Toya is embarrassing and Kenya has the nerve to say RHOA gonna be her legacy and she’s leaving it for Brooklyn, that’s really sad. All the talent that God has blessed Kenya with and all she wants to have for her legacy is RHOA and Kenya Moore Hair care.
I love Kandi to pieces and she’s every woman but she’s given us every storyline 2x over at this point and can either move on or be downgraded to a friend, same goes for Cynthia. Cynthia would be a great friend of on the show but her storyline is tired at this point as well.
Ace is so cute! I could feel his love for his sister through the TV screen.
Me too…and I also loved his talking head as TT noted…he is adorable 😍
I am with you at “who sends nudes at 50” umm I am on the cusp of 40 and that is just a stupid idea. I knew sending nudes was wrong 30 fucking years ago when the idea was into life by weirdos.
When the idea was introduced by weirdos. Fucking creepy people.
Me too! Just turned 40 and know that nudes and a big white wedding dress are in the rear vision mirror.
The only part I watched was Porsha, with her mother and sister. Love it! I skipped the rest of the because it was so boring. The same old story line for 2021 with Kandi, Cynitha and Kenya. BORING!
Thanks for the recaps and comments.
I never thought it would happen but I’m not watching. I couldn’t get past the first 10 minutes of episode 1 this season. I was bored. Now if they gave Marlo a peach, I would return.
Marlo has been in just about every episode this season! At this point I’m sure she makes more than the housewives without the hassle
I watched this one and I found everyone but Porsha, and Marlo to be likable. I don’t like Porsha, and I think Kenya is absolutely right about her. To me she comes off as a violent clueless incredibly stupid narcissist. The best part of her is her sister, and the show should switch their roles. And the mother; she did not even attempt to console her daughter who knew nothing about her sister’s upbringing. That is just a sad mess there. I wish them well, and Lauren on the show instead.
Ace and Riley were so wonderful!
Best part of the show because it was genuine and full of love.
The rest of the show is boring.
Ace crying because he wanted to go with Riley just broke my heart! He was so worried ab her! He’s such a little cutie pie!
She doesn’t like to cleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. lol. So cute.
Did Porsha really shave her head? And yes…WWHL and the Chat Room were the last hour! And I think Drew was on in Porsha’s place? I just saw it when I was flipping channels around. Another contrived franchise…and not because Nene is not there. I got so sick of people kissing her ass. Latoya, I think that’s her name, would’ve been all over Nene.
Yes, she really shaved her head. It looked great and I love her natural hair now, it’s about an inch or two long. She wore it on Bravo Chat not too long ago. It probably making wearing her wigs easier too. She has the head and face for it.
I thought there were some funny moments in this one.. when Kenya got up to sing and knew she couldn’t was hilarious.. then when kandi and Porsha got up they had fun with it too..
it seemed weird to have a party that fancy and hardly anyone there obviously because of Covid but it still seemed silly.
I liked the flirty exchanges between the ladies and kandis comments about it. She acts like she doesn’t completely love when these ladies get rowdy but I know she just loves seeing all the shit go down and she somehow never gets caught up in it. Riley going off to school totally got me choked up. It was so sweet of them to include the montage of her growing up.
I think this show is going through growing pains but I’m still so glad we have our regulars still. And having a few successful, gorgeous, grown ass women makes it special to me and keeps the youngins in line! Lol
Also in general, I’d love to see some other ladies dip their toes in the lady pond instead of stupid ass Brawnwyn!!
None of these women, except maybe Kandi, would be successful if they didn’t have a big, fat Bravo check. Cynthia was a tired, plus size catalog model that could barely pay her bills. Porsha would just find another wealthy athlete to marry. Kenya was just another old pageant queen.
So far a very slow start…loved the stuff with Riley and Ace…find on the whole it lacks structure, flow or any semblance of realness but hardly surprising in these strange times…
The duet with Kandi and Porsha was cute. Kenya was unusually drunk which I think suggests she has been privately suffering over the divorce as she usually retains control , even when being messy . This episode would have been better without thirsty LaToya , showing the nude photo of Kenya around even in the presence of Mike and Todd . I really do think RHOA , like a lot of the Real Housewives franchises generally , has outgrown itself . Rehashing scenarios to create interest or conflict such as arriving late or discussing explicit sexual preferences seemed scripted and tired .
Lord…If I have to go to one more therapy session, I’ll just go ahead and commit myself.
I just watched the scene with Riley learning to clean a sink. Is it just me? Or did she have a nose job?
Ace is too cute. He looks like Todd & Mama Joyce.
She definitely had a nose job and a bad one at that. I’m almost appalled that no one has mentioned it when she looks completely different onscreen and not in a good way. Riley looks like Lil’ Kim about 3 surgeries ago. I never thought she was body dysmorphic or in any way insecure about her face. Riley is/was a beautiful girl and looked a lot like her mom.
A lot People on social media commented on it. From what I’ve seen no one was overly mean abt it. But I’m not that active. The ones who commented directly to Riley, were quickly put in their place by her. Good for Riley. She seems happy with her results and that’s all that matters.
Riley got a nosejob when she graduated from highschool. She is happy with it. Is it really necessary to critique the bodies of 17 year olds?
I guess I’m critical of the *newly purchased* body of hers. Her original face was beautiful.
Yes, you are critical of a child’s face. We agree.
Riley has grown up right before our eyes. I loved the memories montage, and the way Ace and Blaze love Riley shows what a great young woman she has become.
Kenya was weird all night, but I feel like she is always itching for a fight or a cry. No balance.
Good show last night. The small elaborate parties seem less tense and dramatic. I laughed at the singing and dancing.
I like COVID RHOA.
Porsha needs to take it down a notch. During the conversation with her mother and sister, she was so loud I couldn’t understand what she was saying.
Thanks for the recap TT! I agree that these ladies are to old to be sending naked pictures of themselves and the comment about some of them at the table. I honestly wonder do they ever consider what consequences their behavior will have on their children when they get older. I will not be watching. I just can’t bring myself to watch and it has nothing to do with Nene not being on the show. Because I am not a fan. Most of the time there is nothing positive about these shows and I get tired of watching adults argue over nothing.
Who knew that Porsha has a beautiful singing voice? I surely did not.
Yes, Porsha even had a singing role in Kandi’s musical “ A Mother’s Love” about 6 years ago and featured briefly on RHOA. RHOA was much more entertaining back then .
I go back and forth with my feelings about Porsha- have from the beginning, so it’s not related to anything recent. I guess it’s more of a chemistry thing. Some days I like her and feel for her; other days I find her self-absorbed, impulsive and really narcissistic (and possibly not all that bright- but then I go back and forth about that too because I’m just not sure).
I know that Porsha is everybody’s hero now, and I absolutely do admire her activism ( especially if it’s ongoing, because that’s the true measure of whether the commitment is deeply authentic). She’s one of those people I so much want to like but can’t quite get there. I googled to see if she’s stayed active and connected with the cause since the July/August marches/arrests. I really want to see that she has because then it would really click for me (not that it matters to my life in any way- it would just help to not feel ambivalent when I see her on RHOA 😊). Maybe I’m not entering keywords the right way (and I’m not on Twitter, etc.), but all that comes up is the summer stuff. That’s a huge deal to me- whether you’re a celebrity or not- authentic commitment beyond the visible moments – I would love to know that she’s maybe quietly volunteering, donating lots of $, speaking engagements, things like that. If her summer actions were a “one and done”- well, that was still a contribution, but ongoing commitment demonstrated by actions would seal the respect (for me).
Beyond Porsha, the cast and the season seems to lack any real connection and “flow”. It’s all disjointed, but hey, COVID.
I hate that I’m even thinking this. But, maybe Kenya is/was right. About Porsha doing it for the attention and a story line. I believe she is passionate about the cause. But I al see o believe she could have walked away without being arrested, especially the second time. She did it for the cameras I think. Stay safe everyone.
I just want to say, Kandi and Todd make a beautiful baby. Ace is absolutely adorable and precious. He was worried about his sister being unable to clean and he so freaking cute doing it. I would watch endlessly if Ace was the star. He brightened my day.
I am glad for the recaps because I fast forwarded thru a lot of the episode…best part hands down was the last 10 minutes watching Kandi and her beautiful family. I love how much Ace and Riley love each other 💕 he is so cute I wanted to reach thru the screen and hug him! The footage of Riley thru the years made me cry 😢
Side note : where was Drew??
Is no one going to question that nude photo of Kenya? She gained a lot of weight during quarantine, but you’d never know it by looking at that photo. Are photoshop shenanigans involved?
Probably an old photo from a couple years ago lol
I was shocked to learn that Porsha and Lauren were half sisters. They look so much a like and Lauren was always around with Porsha’s mom. I’m ready for tonight’s episode
