Y’all are really gonna make me come of my Christmas Movie stupor for this Porsha’s Family Matters Recap? Once again, Bravo is messing with our DVRs and calling these episodes Real Housewives of Atlanta so it automatically tapes. This sort of deception should be illegal. It’s almost as bad as tacking WWHL episodes to the end of everything forcing the recording to take up two time slots. I am back in Cranky McCrackypants mode before we even begin.
Maybe Porsha Wants Two Husbands?
Lauren meets with Porsha and tells her that she told Dennis he could bring a date to the cookout the next day. Porsha had told him he could not. Porsha is pissed. She clearly still has a foot still in her relationship with Dennis. Lauren cries about her boyfriend, Nate. He seems like a dick. I am shocked at how much Dennis and his mother appear on this show. Dennis and his mom take Pilar to the toy store. Pilar is screaming for “mommy” and and Porsha is not even there. This whole scene is unnecessary. They leave with $500 worth of toys.

Simon meets a lot of Porsha’s family for the first time. Lauren gives Porsha an appointment with her spiritual healer. Is that Lauren in three different wigs in her confessionals? Y’all know a hair change makes me unable to tell who anyone is. Are we supposed to remember who all of these people are? Are they all going on the trip? This is way too many people. While Simon is trying to explain that he “rescued” all of his wives, Dennis walks in with Pilar and his mama. Not his mama! I’m bored. The Grandmas are all crying happy tears because Dennis and Simon are friends at all support Pilar.
This Is Like Watching Paint Dry
I can’t believe this is what Bravo thought was so good they kept extending the number of episodes. Porsha has a dinner date with Dennis. I am not making this up. They go to the Brazilian restaurant that walks around with giant slabs of meats. The argue about when they broke up. Porsha says that he was supposed to give her the engagement ring back on Christmas and he didn’t. Dennis also cheated on her. Dennis says that he still loves Porsha and she still loves him. They both leave pissed. Porsha is a terrible driver. She talks with her hands. And she doesn’t seem to know how to wear a seat belt.

Lauren takes Porsha to see a spiritual healer. Random female family members also arrive. I have no words to describe this scene, sorry. Porsha is conflicted about whether to allow Mama Gina, Dennis’s mother to come on the trip. Later, Porsha meets with her and they talk about the family dynamics. Mama Gina doesn’t want to admit that Dennis is “playboy” which is apparently code for a dude who can’t keep his dick in his pants. Mama Gina says that Porsha cheated on Dennis as well. She claims Porsha’s mother told her about it. Porsha denies it. In the end, Mama Gina is coming on the trip. Apparently, Dennis is too. From the previews, things don’t go well.
Why did I have a feeling this show would run in this direction? Why am I still having a hard time getting started in watching this show? And why did the Bravo suits hardly even try to give us anything new here?
I’ll be shocked if the Bravo suits actually order a second season of this mess.
Not even sure why I tuned in this week. Episode 1 was bad enough. Pretty sure I’m done with this show. I’ll gladly get the tea from here instead of wasting another hour on this crap.
OH SURE, MAKE ME WATCH IT! 🙂 🙂 🙂 LOL
I liked it! Actually, I liked the scenes with Dennis or his mother. Dennis seems like a better match for her honestly. An urban guy who likes her being a thot. If he would have been faithful, then maybe the blame would not have fallen on him.
I liked what Porsha’s grandmother was saying about Dennis being a playboy and whatever else she said. But obviously mama Gina took offense to it, more than even Dennis did. She was right though, had Dennis not cheated while Porsha was pregnant, then the initial break would not have happened.
When they go on the trip, I need to see them play out these issues with the other family. Not just spotlight it for two seconds then act like this is “The world according to Porsha.”
Both Porsha & Dennis seem to still want some kind of relationship beyond being co-parents, but they can’t get it together. I believe that they both cheated. You can tell that Dennis & his mom go off-script (saying things the producers did not go over being a part of the scene).
The scenes with Simon feel so awkward. He has this intimidating and uninterested energy that African men have sometimes (Not trying to stereotype but I have seen it numerous times with them). When he was meeting all the family and close friends, he did not seem like he cared, the disinterest was bleeding through screen. Everyone seems scared of Simon or something.
For me this episode was not as much of a drag as the previous ones. I think was because Dennis was trolling the whole time.
This is such a waste of an hour.
I agree. But I just read the Twitter timeline about it and they seem to be loving it. So weird. Maybe it is just my foul attitude lately?
Dennis helped her get the first special and I feel like he is behind this one too. I’m just not buying it and I wouldn’t be surprised in the end she gets back with Dennis. The next special will be the wedding or Porsha expecting a little DJ.
I am letting my dvr vote for me. I just cancelled the series recording of RHOA. I just cannot with this craziness.
So I am currently doing a complete re-watch of all of the RHOA series. This was my favorite in seasons 1-3 and then I just randomly watched it and read Tamara’s recaps to stay in the loop. I am in the Kim Fields season right now and I have to say, Porsha has always been the worst! She seems so dishonest, and is physically violent to the other cast members and refuses to say she is sorry. I can’t believe she was some sort of fan favorite ever.
I am too cheap/stubborn/waste not want not/ to just get a new tree, even though my “prewired” tree’s lights have shit the bed, so I watched (not really it was in the background) this while listening to the Nene link you provided while cutting the old wires out of my Christmas tree.
Was Nene’s thing only 8 minutes? Both combined was some pretty sad comedown for Bravo. If I wasn’t so pissed off about the tree I would have found something else to watch. Why does Porsha’s mother always sound like she is whining/crying Everytime she speaks? And Dennis’s mom, what a piece of work. I thought Dennis was unattractive until I saw Simon. Does anyone really believe that Porsha is attracted to Simon? Is he a Nigerian Prince? And why do I care?
The lead in thing does suck. But it worked so well for LVP with Vanderpump Rules! It is SO annoying.
What did you think of Mama Gina’s confessional look? Wow!
I couldn’t tell if that was really her body or one of those T-shirt like fake bodies on her dress.
Not sure either! But the wig, headpiece and makeup were really something!
I cant with Porsha. I really think she’s emotionally disabled.
Everyone I know just watches it because Potomac is off season now. But I haven’t found anyone who thinks this is really good. It just reminds everyone (including me) of the early, somewhat trashier version of Porsha who was always hiding something and being duplicitous.
I had really grown to like her the last 5 years or so, but I’m kinda back to square one. And Simon is creepy AF, so I ain’t saying she’s a gold digger, but…
No wait, that’s exactly what I’m saying.
