I can see how someone as immature as Nene could be upset that Marlo is filming with Kenya (hmm...yet she's ok with Cynthia and others doing it), but the scene at Lawrence's salon was very complimentary of both Nene AND Kenya. I feel like if Nene had actually forgiven Kenya and moved on that they could've remained friends. Nene, Marlo and Kenya could've been a STRONG trio that dominated this show, but Nene can't seem to keep friends. I felt like Marlo was very fair, even criticizing Kenya to her face and admitting to a time when she screwed up with Nene. She didn't say it wasn't her fault or that Nene was wrong, she owned what she did, had her month with Nene not speaking to her and repaired the friendship. I also though Kenya's comments seemed genuine.

If Nene wants to be jealous of anybody, she needs to be jealous of KANDI, who IMO has stepped up as a major force on this show. She is the second longest running cast member after Nene and she is giving them EVERYTHING.

This is total BS. Andy is the EXECUTIVE PRODUCER of every Real Housewives show. If anything he is MORE involved now that his focus is his production company and only the RH shows. And Kenya did not backfire in any way. Last season had record ratings throughout and Kenya was a HUGE talking point. If anything, NENE was irrelevant last season. She did absolutely nothing. And not invested? Did you miss them giving her a full series, instead of a 1-3 episode wedding special? Have you missed her two one-on-one WWHL episodes? You can say you're a Nene fan, but come on now..

DUPLICATE

I'm sorry, but I still claim BS to that. Andy Cohen is going to do everything in his power to get Nene to stay. He is not going to let anybody plot to take down Nene. IF Nene leaves, at the very least Andy will try to make I Dream of Nene or a talk show happen for Nene. He's not going to run her off hating him. I think after season 4 the producers saw that there might be a shake up. For all anybody knew, Nene could've booked a big acting job which would've prevented her from filming at all, plus you have Sheree unable to film due to insufficient funds and Kim so pregnant that her place wasn't 100% safe either. With the prospect of their 3 stars leaving, I thought they did a good job of bringing in Kenya and Porsha as replacements. In the end things worked out better than they had hoped since Nene decided to stick around, but I have no doubt that Kenya was cast with the goal of her becoming the next star in case anything happens with Nene. I don't think that is manipulative or a wrong thing to do and the viewers have responded well enough to Kenya that they don't need to jump through hoops to justify her presence. Just like Nene, you love or hate or or love-to-hate her.

How are they working overtime to give Kenya the glamorous edit? Kenya hasn't really done anything crazy this season. She's not acting crazy like last year either. I think she's making an effort to show more of her personality and less of a character.

I find it hard to believe Nene is getting a bitch edit. Just look at WWHL and how Andy still protects Nene. This is what they have to work with and like JackPeyton said, she's acting the exact same way off the show. Nene has never been one to apologize for ANYTHING big or small. She won't accept responsibility for anything and it makes her look like a fool. Nobody is setting her up, she is setting herself up. I haven't seen tonights episode, but I will say, her short wig in the recent talking head is nice. It doesn't stand up too high and it looks fairly natural. Overall I can't believe how horrible her wigs have been this season. They are worse than what you see on broke drag queens. Why is nobody counseling her? And how do yall think her hair looks under the wig?

Nene started shading Marlo towards the end of I Dream of Nene after all that work Marlo put into helping her. She clearly took Diana's side and everybody else's when it came to Marlo. She also was shading Lexis, her long term friend. I'd also note that Marlo has not said a negative word about Nene to this day while Nene has dragged her in the press calling her a prositute, saying how she will never be a housewife and talking about how "extra" she is. Through all of this Marlo has told her followers not to say anything negative about Nene. I wouldn't say it's an open shut case. Nene introduced Marlo to Kenya and I see no reason why Marlo should avoid her. Cynthia isn't avoiding her and she's Nene's closest friend on the show.

The RHOA EP just tweeted there are 7 episodes left, which will give them their longest Pre-Reunion season with 22 regular episodes. Past two seasons had 20 episodes and season 3 had 16 before the reunions kicked in.

If Nene weren't so jealous, immature and insecure she'd be shining right now. Production isn't messing with her and neither is Kenya. They didn't have a beef. EVERYBODY had a reason to be this mad at Kenya EXCEPT Nene. The only reason Nene is mad is because she is jealous of Kenya and feels like her Queen Bee status is in question. I had no idea it would be this obvious. I thought there would be some wiggle room and that maybe Nene wouldn't come off horribly. This is completely transparent and 100% Nene's doing.

Shiiit, Tamra knows she needs the job so I'm sure she does what she needs to do and doesn't give them ANY trouble. She's the type that knows how to perform and make sure she ALWAYS has the material to make sure she's one of the leads for RHOC. Vicki I think is just as nuts as what we see on TV, but I don't think she is much trouble either. Like Ramona, Vicki is probably just annoying, but probably VERY annoying when she gets into her moods.

I could see Ramona getting on productions nerves, but no more than some of the others. The ones I predict drive production INSANE are Adriana and Joanna from RHOM, Jill Zarin and LuAnn from RHONY, Adrienne Maloof and Brandi from RHOBH and then Nene from ATL. I feel as if Nene is probably the only one driving them crazy on ATL. I also think that Mariah is probably driving those Married To Medicine producers to drink.

Jack, I wouldn't include Ramona in the list of people who let the show get to their head. Look at how she's been thriving with RHONY off the air. I don't think she needs the show or is as desperate to stay in the spotlight as her co-stars. She isn't milking her divorce for support, hasn't released any silly music singles or anything either. She's just focused on her businesses, which are real and not created for the show. I think she's a real businesswoman and a smart one at that. Going back to Bethenny, IF she wanted to do a talk show, her people should've tried to get her on The View. I'm sure she would've had a good chance since their choice (Jenny McCarthy) showed the candidate pool must've been small. That would've been a good way for her to segue herself into hosting. Beyond that, I still say a cooking show should be her focus or a travel show. Her next move will be interesting. I'm not willing to count Bethenny out at this point.

Yeah, if they're seriously considering Natalie or Mynique, they're nuts. I WOULD be considering Lexis, Marlo and Malorie though. Natalie and Mynique shock me with their clothes on this show. Christopher Williams looks like he's wearing clothes he bought on 2002 from Ross: Dress For Less. I can't believe they allow him on this show with those dingy ass clothes. Mynique and Chuck simply don't have style because we know they have money.

Nene is a fool. It's obvious that report about the Behind the Scenes TRUTH of the Pajama Party is true. Not only do we have that and Nene now threatening to quit, but you also have a report MONTHS ago by Funky Dineva which documents the fight between Nene and Marlo still to come. He was there (and will appear on screen) so obviously he is not lying. His post and others clearly stated that Nene kept attacking production and threatening them if Marlo and Kenya continued to appear on the show. If you look at the episodes there was NO on screen build up to Kenya becoming Nene's enemy. Nene is simply jealous and mad that she feels Kenya could threaten her title as Queen Bee. Ego is EVERYTHING to Nene. If I were her I would not even consider leaving until she has a VARIETY of roles under her belt. A talk show is a stupid idea doomed to fail. If she wants to focus on acting she needs to take acting classes and try to find some non-Ryan Murphy roles and focus on guest spots and independent film. Right now there is nothing that proves she is a successful actress. She has two roles given to her by a man who simply enjoyed her on RHOA. I don't think she is smart enough to transition out of the franchise. Of the current housewives, I think Kandi, Lisa Vanderpump, Ramona and Vicki would continue to thrive, but they are all strong business women who don't need the show in the same way that Nene does. She will get her wake up call very soon. I REALLY don't think the show needs her nearly as much as she thinks. They have too many players that work well enough to replace her. For the most part everybody has interesting supporting characters to film with, plus so many are good enough to be real housewives.

I feel like Phaedra's show will happen if it's filmed, otherwise I can't see her doing it. If she couldn't handle WWHL, then she can't handle promoting her own show and being the center of all that promo. By the time her show aired, the story could be bigger so I can't see her wanting that.

Yes, this is typical. Also, they always screen the full season before filming the reunion. Especially with seasons getting longer this needs to be expected. Andy also has a busier schedule now since he has his own production company, instead of being able to schedule everything around Bravo's needs. I wonder if he'll do a reunion for Blood, Sweat & Heels.

There are too many generic talk shows with no focus or purpose. Bethenny should've focused in on her brand and made her show a bigger combination of entertainment, but with a heavy focus on food and cooking. The Chew is doing well and it would've differentiated her from the pack. If she ever does another TV show it needs to be a 30 minute food show on one of the travel channels. People need to stop jumping just to talk shows if they want to do something else. Try scripted, a travel show, a cooking show, etc. There are so many different niches people can be successful in.

Beverly Hills (minus one) is going to Puerto Rico, which was in the supertrailer and Atlanta's trip to Savannah looks like it was their trip this year.

Weren't they saying ON THE EPISODE that Kenya was on Molly? I think Christopher Williams said it, but I recall Nene as well. Besides, MANY people have commented that Nene was acting odd. I think that production post about Nene is true. It's typical Nene. She is VERY jealous, especially when she feels her post as HBIC is challenged.

Okay, Aviva, Heather and Ramona have good taglines, the rest are stupid. Sonja's is ESPECIALLY dumb as it goes nowhere. They should revisit old taglines when they work and have Sonja go back to her original one. I will say it's pretty damn cheap of them not to redo the opening when the show has been off the air almost 2 years. I feel the same way with the huge rated New Jersey and Atlanta. These shows are doing well enough to have new credits. Kristen's shot looks pasted in and her dress is HORRENDOUS for an opening shot.

Andy said that since this season of New York was so much fun, he wanted funny taglines. I actually like that they're trying to stand out. I hope Heather's still includes a "Holla!" ETA: To answer the Housewives crossover question, Kim from ATL appeared on Season 1 of Miami.

I may be wrong with this, but I thought Kenya DID RSVP, but Nene was upset that she didn't go to the wedding? DId she not RSVP for sure? I could've sworn she sent a gift and everything.

I LOVE Nene and I LOVE all the drama she is causing, but the difference between now and then is that Nene feels she is the Queen Bee. I need that to end and I need her to be called out just like everybody else is. I'm sick of everybody acting like they're scared of her.
