Those texts made it completely obvious Apollo was trying to get in Kenya's pants, especially if you look at what time he was sending those texts. If I were Phaedra I would back off on saying certain things because now too much is coming out about Apollo. Forget Kenya, we know he's probably been sleeping around with half of Atlanta, in addition to his legal issues. Phaedra needs to keep her mouth shut to minimize her dragging at the reunion.

Nah, I don't buy that. Star wasn't a villain like Omarosa, she was simply a shrewd business woman. She tried hard to make her team win and then when they didn't she used her lawyer skills to defend herself and keep from getting fired. If she was a man nobody would've said anything. Also, Star was Team Nene 100%, Nene was just mad because she didn't want to be Project Manager that week because she knew she'd lose. Realistically, Nene was the ONLY person on her team who hadn't won money for her charity, so logically she SHOULD'VE been Project Manager. There is no argument for her being thrown under the bus, it was simply common sense.

Honestly, I think this is a sad situation because I do think Nene and Marlo had a nice easy going relationship. I don't think Marlo was the opportunist that people made her out to be. IMO, if anyone deserves that title it's Cynthia who benefited from Nene's friendship so much more than Marlo did. Marlo could basically stand on her own two feet with her personality carrying her through. Cynthia was saved mostly because Nene needed an ally to film with. In the case of Kenya/Nene/Marlo, Nene introduced Marlo to Kenya so I can see how Marlo could be thrown when she's now told she isn't supposed to like or talk to Kenya. But I can also see how Nene would be upset that her friend was hanging out with her new enemy. I think Marlo is bound to come out better because I feel she is going to take the high road with Nene. To date, she hasn't said ANYTHING negative about Nene publicly. When Nene starting giving interviews bashing Marlo during I Dream of Nene, Marlo responded, but made sure to be supportive and respectful of Nene. When people tweet negative things about Nene, she tells them to stop. She sent Nene a huge flower arrangement when she was in the hospital, Nene even had to say "Thank You" for that.

If Kenya wanted to get in kissing distance of Natalie, who are these women to say anything? Especially to try and say she's responsible for a brawl of this magnitude. Not only that, but it's a "What If?" We don't know how close Kenya was going to get or what she was going to do. What I DO know is that Nene has NO PROBLEM getting right up in everybody's face and sometimes choking them out. She did it horribly on Celebrity Apprentice and to Kim SEVERAL times on this show. Cynthia did it to Kandi this week and the list goes on and on. They have NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER to tell Kenya she is wrong for getting up. Especially Nene's violent ass. And I know it was year ago, but STAR JONES NEVER DID ANYTHING TO HER BULLYING ASS! Yall got me all worked up here at work lol.

I won't lie, I do dislike Natalie and Christopher. They are too basic for this show, although I appreciate the purpose they have served thus far. If you re-read my post I DID NOT say that Christopher should hold back his wife. I said that he should've stood in front of her to protect her. I said that Peter shouldn't have help down Brandon and that Malorie shouldn't have shoved Todd and Kandi. Christopher had no reason to grab Kenya and pull her back and the flashback from a new angle showed that he had a strong grip on her. He could've simply gone near his wife to make sure nothing happened. Why can't Kenya get out of her seat, but Christopher could? I would personally be more worried about him walking up (or "charging" as they say) on Kenya since he was upset he was busted AND he has history of being accused of abusing women.

Well Marlo SHOULD'VE been in the past 3 episodes. She was invited to the Pajama Party, but didn't go. She is also invited to Kenya's Masquerade party next week and she doesn't go to that either. I am VERY upset with Marlo for skipping those events! The Pajama Party would've been a 3-week event if Marlo was there on top of everything else. I am still confident my lady will do what she needs to do in the coming episodes. It was very telling her preview clip was with Kenya and not Nene. It shows the beginnings of her developing friendship with Kenya and we KNOW that isn't going to sit well with Nene. I also feel like the rumors of Nene and Cynthia falling out are true since we see Nene and Peter going at it next week. ETA: Kenya doesn't seem too pleased with Andy on Twitter. Many people were confused because WWHL didn't show the results of the poll, "Who was to blame for the fight?" Many were tweeting saying they felt this was calculated because even during the After Show he didn't reveal the results. She tweeting him asking about it and he finally tweeted the results (57% Nene is to blame, 42% Kenya is to blame). She still was tweeting and re-tweeting that she felt they were trying to do a cover up for Nene. Honestly, I believe it. I haven't seen the episode yet, but apparently he also went soft on her for the gay comments.

Kandi was right when she said that when you're breaking up a fight you own your own people back, not the other side because that comes off as aggressive and escalates things. I don't understand why they don't acknowledge this in regards to Kenya. If Christopher wanted to protect his wife he should've stood in front of her and not grabbed Kenya. I'm glad the producers clearly showed the flashback of him grabbing her. Malorie needed her ass beat as well. I can't wait to see my baby Marlo next week. Nene is clearly acting a fool. I see that episode being the beginning of her downfall. It's coming.

Kyle and Carlton are BY FAR the best styled. Joyce's dress fits her personal style and will probably look great on camera. Brandi's choice I need to see in action before I decide, it could go either way. Kim's dress looks cute in the picture, but I'm not sure how it will translate on camera. Lisa looks a hot ass mess. It almost makes me cry looking at that ugly ass dress.

I feel like she should've gone on WWHL, but not answer serious questions about the case. Same with the reunion. By putting Kenya on WWHL, she's going to have a huge platform to tear Phaedra's ass up and bring up anything she wants to. If Phaedra doesn't go to the reunion you have the same thing. She needs to go, take her beating and keep it moving. She should be fine at the reunion as long as she doesn't engage too much and provoke Kenya.

I only made it two minutes in that video. He keeps saying how Mia turned the kids against him, but does he not take ANY responsibility for getting with his children's SISTER? He doesn't see how that is confusing for them? I honestly don't understand how she would have to make them angry at him. They lost a sister and a father and it's his fault regardless of the Dylan stuff. I can't even believe he'd try to fight for custody.

I LOVE Carlton. I have NEVER seen someone as pressed as she is. I just wish Kyle was smart enough to read that bitch for filth instead of falling into her trap. She was like a malfunctioning fembot in that last episode.

Eric, you seating chart is perfect! I think that is closer to reality than mine. By the end of the season Brandi, Yolanda and Carlton will be a team so that makes sense. I would swap Yolanda and Carlton but that's it.

Joyce, Carlton, Lisa--ANDY--Brandi, Kyle, Yolanda, Kim Lisa and Brandi seem obvious for choices closest to Andy since their breakup is what the season is building towards. I put Kyle and Carlton next since that is a big feud that will be revisited. I'm not too sure about the others, but I feel like Kim needs to have her ass on the end and Joyce's feud with Brandi isn't enough to keep her from the end either IMO. They're coming--The Real Housewives of Melbourne https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1CzcsObwJE

With New Jersey I think the high ratings had them feeling like they didn't need to change anything, but that show was more toxic than NYC EVER was. I don't understand why they didn't even bring on ONE new housewife. When season 5 was filming there were rumors of like 5 new housewives and not one ended up with decent screentime. I can't wait to see how their new season fares.

Oh I totally disagree. I LOVED Alex's awkward confrontations and I feel like in season 4 she finally found her voice and was on equal footing with the other ladies. I LOVED her feud with LuAnn. That is one of my all-time favorite Real Housewives feuds. And on top of her scenes with the ladies, she had an interesting homelife so they definitely got their money's worth with her.

Alex initially was only interesting for the freakshow with Simon. I found them to be harmless social climbers and they were very likable IMO. Unlike other social climbers, I felt they were living within their means and I began to LOVE them when I saw the others constantly making fun of them. They were blasted for living in Brooklyn, but good on them finding a nice place there instead of paying more to stay in Manhattan just to keep up with the others. Or how they went to St. Barth's in the off season, that's another thing they were criticized for. To this day they came off very hard working so I never minded them. Alex is still in the public eye and doing very well with her business and this is WITHOUT the nasty press articles that are keeping Jill in the media. I hated that they did Couples Therapy, but other than that they're golden IMO. I recently did my re-watch of NYC season 5 and there was a scene at the end of the season with Aviva and Heather's husband and I had NO IDEA who Aviva was talking to lol.

Season 5 of New York never even crossed 2 million viewers. Ratings were GOOD for season 4, they were fools for drastically rebooting things. Even the Jill Zarin episode of Watch What Happens Live was higher rated than the NYC episode that aired before it.

I agree that Beverly Hills probably needs a reboot more than any other, but I think they'll be hesitant after the NYC one didn't quite click. I think the days of that type of self-imposed mass-exodus are gone.

I don't want Kim either, I'm just talking about what I think would happen. I just can't see them getting rid of her unless they had some top notch choices for new housewives.

We know they tried to get Cat from DC on New York (which I think would've been fabulous), so I don't see why they wouldn't put Joanna on Beverly Hills since that show NEEDS a spark and she's willing to do it. I would go for it. Do a cast with Joyce, Lisa, Joanna, Kyle, Brandi, Kim and one new housewife. Since Lea and Joanna are friends, Lea could be a Friend of the Housewives since she also has a house in LA. That could solve the lack of "Friends" that the show has. On the other hand, Lea said not to read into the fact that Miami hasn't started filming yet and that the show hasn't been canceled.

I won't lie! I KNOW there is hyperbole when I mention Marlo. I know she's not as popular as we like to think she is, but there is no denying when she appears people ARE interested enough that she should at least be a housewife. She was the main topic of discussion the ENTIRE time I Dream of Nene was airing. When season 4 aired, despite her background people seemed to respond to her and then when she returned for season 6 she was trending on Twitter despite not even having any significant scenes or moments. In my opinion that speaks to popularity and I feel Bravo and Carlos King know that. It's anybody's guess how far they take it, but I think it would be a smart move to have Marlo as a castmate for LONG TERM planning. Nene is going to leave someday and you can't depend on Kenya and Kenya alone to stir things up. Also, Marlo has become friends with Kandi and Kenya and at least for Kenya that gives her one housewife who WANTS to film with her. That's important because Kenya will burn out if the other ladies keep blacklisting her.

But it was political for dumping Marlo. I think was got her back to Bravo is that they knew Nene needed a Co-Star for her spin-off and when that went well Andy decided to let her back in his good graces. With Kelly she doesn't have the same baggage as Marlo with the "faggot" comment.

But this is Crazy!Kelly. Could you really see them leaving this out? She is such a bizarre person that I have no doubt she'll give them material worth using. Plus unlike Jill, her return to Watch What Happens Live went well. And since you mention Marlo, they were PUNK BITCHES for leaving her on the cutting room floor for season 5! They knew people wanted to see Marlo, hence why they announced I Dream of Nene with MARLO as the Co-Star, hence why they promoted her return for season 6 on BravoTV.com, yet they didn't do shyt for Lexis, Malorie, etc. They know people live for Marlo and that she makes good tv. Now I want to re-watch I Dream of Nene: Starring Marlo Hampton so I can re-live her punking Diana "Ross: Dress For Less" Gowins ass out.

Well Kelly IS returning. She filmed with the ladies and there is no way they'd leave her scenes on the cutting room floor.

Peter is full of it. The way Apollo shoved Brandon to the ground, the simple shock of that and trying to get up from that position is enough to cause him to accidently hit Apollo. He didn't do a damn thing wrong. The entire way Apollo handled it was wrong from beginning to end. Why can't they accept and own up to that? I don't understand why they're still trying to lay blame on Brandon for that.
