I am still processing all of the drama from the Oprah interview with Meghan and Harry last night. That was a lot to process. After all the vitriol on this site, I was kind of afraid to go to Twitter, where everyone can be an asshole. I was super uplifted by all the love and support for “America’s New Royality.” American Twitter and Black Twitter in particular were riding hard for Meghan. And we literally sat there waiting for British Twitter to wake their asses up. It was almost like we wanted the to explain themselves. But most of them felt the same way. The Piers Morgan woke up and I signed off. So sorry for the long delay on this RHOA recap, but world events sometimes take precedence. And Bravo should have saved this show for next week.
Daddy’s Girl?
Also while I was on Twitter some of the tweets about #RHOA were unavoidable and everyone I read said this episode was boring, so I might not have a lot to say about it anyway. Are we ever going to stop talking about the damn bachelor party? Cynthia tells Drew on the phone that she isn’t going to make Marlo’s hayride because she has to find her mom a dress for the wedding. Oh, joy. Old people on a hayride. High schoolers feel too old for that.

Kenya pretends to sweep leaves on her balcony. Clearly, she not used to do that. Then she sits down, leaves still everywhere to talk to her dad. He passes on the invite to Brooklyn’s birthday when he finds out she is inviting a lot of people, and probably the cameras. Then she tells him Marc filed for divorce. Kenya says Marc filed the divorce because she embarrassed him serving him a custody filing in front of people and embarrassing him. She says her revoked the filing 24 hours later.
Maybe, but here is the thing. Now she is saying that she didn’t invite her dad to the wedding because she thought he would not like Marc. Maybe so, but TamaraTattles was the first to exclusively break the news of Kenya’s marriage. At the time of her marriage, her father was vacationing on another relatively nearby island. My impression was he didn’t want to leave his vacation.
Drew Invites Kenya To Dinner
Drew tries to see if she can smooth things over with Kenya and get her off back. So she invites the enemy to dinner. Drew is sweetly trying to point out that Kenya is deceptive. This will never work with Kenya. Drew tries to reach her via song and Kenya just laughs. They talk over each other for five minutes. Kenya wants leave and take her food to go. She hands the waitress a card and Drew wants to split the check. Kenya says “broke bitches split checks.” The waitress is in fact perfectly capable of splitting the check. And she does. Kenya drives off saying, “I can’t stand this girl.” Is Kenya jealous of Drew’s career?
Cynthia’s Covid Wedding Is A Disaster
So far, her mother’s dress isn’t going to arrive on time so she needs another dress for her. Noelle’s dress doesn’t fit. Two bridesmaids and one groomsman have dropped out at the last minute. Also, Mike’s wedding band that was for some reason sent from London is too small. And trust me things just get worse from here. I was just a few miles from the wedding site on that day and remnants from a hurricane were headed our way. She’s given up on doing a prenup. They are just going to do a postnup at this point. So she is going to miss out on Marlo’s hayride and headed to get her mom another dress.

Everyone else arrives at the hayride and it is a beautiful sunny afternoon in Georgia. Meanwhile, everyone knows that two people screwed the stripper at Cynthia’s bachelorette party. Kenya, Marlo and Kandi arrive first. Latoya arrives without the braids and with long straight hair. I wish these women would keep a look for the whole season. Everyone talks about who could have leaked the news. Clearly, it was Kenya, she is the one who told production. I mean production could have told people. But come on, Kenya moves from blogger to blogger leaking stuff, just like Nene Leakes.
Tanya Sam Has Literally Fled The Country
My SOURCE says that the actual two people are Porsha and Latoya. But Tanya is doing a great job of making herself look guilty. Drew shows up and I had no idea who she was in that blonde wig. All of these women are dressed for different seasons. It was late September when this was filmed. It might be warm in the day, but a lot cooler at night. None of them are dressed for a hayride. Most look like streetwalkers on Peachtree. And I am not sure what Marlo is dress for. Maybe a Pow Wow on a reservation?At least Kenya and Kandi are wearing jeans.

Porsha get lost and is still an hour and a half away. She lives 45 minutes away. Did the hayride even move? Did I miss the hayride? Kenya and Latoya leave. Then Kandi leaves. Porsha arrives in the dark after everything is over. Marlo and Drew catch Porsha up. Porsha is sure Kenya is the leak. She tells Marlo to be careful with her new friendship with Kenya. Porsha is done with Kenya forever. I’m not even watching Kenya’s therapy.
Next Week: We are going to hear about #StripperGate AGAIN. Porsha and Dennis break up. AGAIN. Cynthia Bailey get married on TV . AGAIN.
I know you, and several other people here, like Kenya. I try every week to see some redeeming quality in her and I just can’t. She’s constantly playing the victim. She never takes responsibility for anything. The therapy session was a joke. It annoys me when she walks into her lawyer’s office and her therapist’s office and she isn’t wearing a mask. The hayride was a waste of time. I agree with you about this cast and their wigs. I don’t recognize them half the time. I did like the long, straight wig Kandi was wearing for the hayride.
Teri, I forget who said it (an actor) that Kenya was a pro playing the part of being hurt, distraught, a victim, and such.
Gotta admit she does play the part a lot!!!!
It is her best part of her acting, and she does play it so often, VERY OFTEN. LOL.
SHE’S AN ACTRESS SPECIALIZING IN SADNESS. (hee hee)
Guess I will watch this as well.
watch speak on it with kandi and kenya for your clarifcations thats you seek.
AGREE!! I have tried for year to like Kenya, but she just doesn’t know how to play well with other. I know she is playing a character on the show but damn can she act like a decent human being for once. She is almost as insufferable as NeNe got in her last few seasons, bet she wishes she would have treated people better now, after her whole team dropped her. NeNe is on some site kinda like Instagram or something similar, that you have to pay for, she got drunk on there and started crying, talking about her marriage is in trouble again and her lounge she is opening. She is getting what she has given the last 5 years. I swear she just married Greg again to get her money back he got in the divorce and to emasculate him on national TV, over the hell he put her through in the divorce. IMO. Kenya will be in the same boat if she doesn’t get away from the villain character. I will say this about Kenya, I think she is a really great mother, she is never away from her child, and she is always put first no matter what. You can see how sweet baby Brooklyn lights up an smiles when she is with her Mommy.
OOOHHHH do you belong to the pay site or is it just something you read somewhere? We need a spy! 🙂
I haven’t watched the show this season but I come here every week for a recap. Thank you Tamara, I hope all is well In Georgia!!!!
Spring has SPRUNG in Georgia and the fucking monsoons have stopped for this entire week at least. Things are good for now. I’m extremely affected by the weather. So I should be sanerish this week!
I have been bothered about Cynthia and her two weddings that were quite the affairs.
I found it ridiculous and a unnecessary gaining attention that by she 50 was a bit much.
Her Peter wedding was her first, but Mike’s was for attention and came across as a “I’m a celebrity and worthy of a wedding, be damned Covid. She seemed to be somewhat of a spoiled snob.
It just seemed like it was for tons of attention. I think if it was 20 years between perhaps and a loss of her first husband it would make more sense and meaning.
I agree with everything you said. 100.%. She came across as spoiled and entitled after she got engaged. It seemed to get worse as it got closer to the wedding. Cynthia used to seem like the nice lady on the show. Classy . Not any more! I guess she needed to change who she was to pay for that house and weddihg
I get second hand embarrassment from watching 50Cyn and her weddings. Imagine getting married twice on the same series? The fact that she’s making it such a big deal is just ugh. We know how the story ends already because we’ve seen this two seasons ago.
Wow! you are old school on TT. Am I right and noticing it has been a long time?
Just splayed out *dead*. I needed THIS laugh!!
Me too. She is coming across desperate, needy, spoiled, and bratty. Some of her scenes are so cringey, I just put my head down an shake it in embarrassment for her.
Well said!!!
So I watch Kandi’s Speech on it with Kenya.
I hope I am not breaking rules….
Kenya said the reason she was so hard on porsha about BLM is because earlier in the season. Porsha came for Kandi for working with Bravo on some BLM projects or suggestion, those scence did not make the cut. She felt Porsha was fake and looking for attention cause any BLM support should be celebrated.
Also Drew seems to have a hard on for Kenya. I liked her the beginning but not anymore. She is constantly talking about Kenya marriage like her ability to kept a husband is all that matters. I hate that, as women we need to do better. The argument at the restaurant seemed like a continuation from the trip and waste of time. Why is she mad at Kenya what has Kenya done to her other than trust her by asking her to keep some text and convos private? Latoya is a mess.
FYI – I like and dislike all the ladies it just depends on the episode lol
there are too many new people on the show, too many friends, and friends of friends, and they should not change their hairstyle 50 times a show. Only the veterans can do that because they have already developed a personality.
Cynthia drives me crazy, how many fucking bridesmaids do you need when you are 55 and getting married for the third time (or second, I am not sure which), Why are they in such a damn hurry, have to have a big wedding during covid, because of the stupid date? It’s like covid personally messed with her wedding, and she is not having it. so stupid
I no longer watch the show, but I read blogs and other online sources about the show. I agree with the commenters who find Cynthia unappealing. In trying so hard to stay relevant and interesting, she is making herself look like a desperate, immature lunatic. Kandi and Porsha seem to still be doing more of the same. Boring. As for Kenya, for personal reasons, I supported her for years. I thought she was more wounded than wicked, and that she was no more wicked than some of the others. I also thought Andy treated her unfairly.Now, all I see is a miserable, pitiful woman whose reality is so warped that she no longer sees the obvious. The Marc situation seems to have sent her all the way over the edge. So sad. Drew seems boring to me. My overall conclusion is the same as it has been for two years now: Bravo needs to cancel the show or get a whole new crew. There is no friend, enemy, or frenemy chemistry among the ladies.
I get hate mail about why I hate Kenya so much. And hate mail that says I love her and obsessed with her. In actuality, I’ve certainly been a big fan. And I still root for her, but I have to report on what I am seeing and frankly she is very messy When reading you post, I sort of heard that song “Didn’t We Almost Have It All” playing in the background. That might not be the title, but I think Kenya is very hurt because she got her husband and a beautiful daughter and then it all fell apart and my heart breaks for her. OTOH she still is totally playing the villain on this show. I’m not sure if she is really that messy, or if she is purposely being a villain to stay on the show. I wish she would just let someone else take that spot.
