See, that's another reason I wish Ana had remained a housewife. She's close friends with Joanna, so she could've been a nice crossover between the two groups. Also, I would've liked to have seen how Joanna and Ana's friendship affected Lea and Joanna's friendship. Yeah, I thought it was stupid since Marlo's dress was mostly blue anyway. I found this episode to be HILARIOUS with tons of great Marlo fashions and moments. I loved her start-to-finish. This is basically I Dream of Marlo. Marlo is the star and the spotlight is on her, hunny. If this show is picked up for a second season then Nene needs to thank Marlo and only Marlo. She is the reason this is a series and not a wedding special. There is a reason from the moment this show was announced, the press releases mentioned Nene and Marlo as a co-star. They knew she was their ticket, which is why it makes no sense they didn't capitalize on this for RHOA.

I've resisted posting about Melbourne because those cast photos are so tragic. I need to see them in action before I can get excited about them. Just a head's up, the two-hour finale of I Dream of Nene will air this Sunday, NOT in the regular Tuesday slot. I'm looking forward to seeing how much they show all of the Bravo-verse guests. The promos keep showing Jill so I'm wondering if she'll have a scene one-on-one with Nene. I miss Jill so I hope she does.

Jersey and Miami both aired at the same time and sucked, so I can get how you could feel the franchise is in a slump. On the other hand, RHOC was excellent this season, so all hope isn't lost. I think ATL and a revitalized Beverly Hills will stablilize things. They just need to hope that RHONY works out. Much like what they did with New Jersey, they're keeping the cast the same and last seasons cast had such a low rated season. Plus it'll be over a year and a half since the show last aired. Those are big hurdles when launching a new season.

I'm all for Dina returning. Dina and Teresa are two of my all-time favorites. In RHOA news, another article is out about Nene trying to get Marlo fired. This article is suggesting that the main reason Marlo isn't getting fired is because Kenya has nobody to film with. She has few, if any, friends in Atlanta and she's not getting along with any of the wives. Basically, she has no storyline which I suspected after her first season stunts. This is another reason they should have Marlo as a housewife, because she does have people she could film with and I could see her developing friendships with some of the other ladies if she were put into this situation as a full-on housewife.

Sheree would be too much for Nene at this point. She'd go crazy fighting with Sheree, Marlo and Kenya at the same time. Phaedra would be like a pig in shyt though lol.

Nene stayed pressed in seasons 2 and 3. I was so happy when she started doing well so she could stop being such a hater. It's a shame that she's back to it, but her ego is too much.

Nene has always been a hater though so this isn't a surprise lol. This is why I was always Team Kim. Kim never did anything to Nene. Nene was just mad because she wanted the shine of Tardy For the Party. Then she hated Kandi because Kandi had more money than her and from day one Kandi didn't seem intimidated by her. Kandi didn't do anything to her hating ass either. This is why Nene and Sheree were friends, because they are both haters. I think what we'll be seeing with Kenya and then Marlo is just more of the same for Nene. You KNOW Nene is pissed that Marlo outshined her on I Dream of Nene. They were just talking two weeks ago and there are pictures of Marlo and Kenya hanging out months ago. Why was it an issue now?

I actually believe the New Jersey news since they need new housewives and then you have Hollywood Reporter reporting it. After the big ratings drop they aren't going to do more of the same. I believe it'll be Teresa, Melissa, Dina and Kathy is a crapshoot depending on how the new wives work out. I think they need AT LEAST 3 new housewives. 2 official and 1 friend, just to make sure the show has to have a new feel. They can't risk repeating the same stories.

Citi Trends is where you find ultra cheap, dated hood clothes that will fall apart in 3 washes. That is Diana's wardrobe. She is a disaster.

Marlo has NOT been fired. Basically, Marlo confronted Nene about her sudden beef and they started arguing and then Nene went to the producer upset about Marlo. My guess is that Nene went to the producer to demand Marlo get fired. "Phone call number 1 let me know that Marlo was not fired, that she made for good tv, and that if anything security will be heightened at filming. Phone call number 2 went directly to a cast member and they also confirmed that Marlo was not “fired”. In my mind I was thinking to myself “hell, how can you get fired from somewhere you don’t work?” Fact of the matter is, I do believe that Nene tried to shift her weight around and get Marlo fired. However, I don’t think Nene has as much leverage as y’all think she does. She is a pawn in the game just like everyone else. Nene may have influence over what type of bottle water is provided on the set, but she damn sure ain’t making no HR decisions. They wrap filming of season 6 at the end of next month. I’m pretty sure the incident at Cynthia’s event wont be the last of the drama. We’ve got 6 more weeks or so for the ladies to get into trouble. Hopefully towards they end we see reconciliation between all parties involved. I hate to see friendships go to hell over trivial matters."

I been told yall that Diana shop at Citi Trends. Her hat was a little extravagant though. It clearly came from the Tina Knowles "Destiny's Child" collection from Fall 2000. Diana makes it easy to chop her tired ass up. $28,000 a month in child support and she looks like that....

Even with soaps I rarely go crazy for the weddings. I find them to be boring in general, especially the vows. I HATE watching people say their boring ass vows. I think this season would've worked better had they kept a larger cast so we could have other storylines instead of just WEDDING WEDDING WEDDING. The only other consistent story seems to be Alexia and that dead beat son. I need more light.

Both of their wedding stuff is boring. it was so stupid for them to try and center both of these shows around these weddings.

The timeslot move is what killed Miami. They were pretty steady at 1 million viewers until they moved it to a later slot.

Rumors have it that Nene threatened to quit if Marlo continues to appear on RHOA. This whole thing sounds crazy to me. Is this what would've happen had Nene gotten famous in the earlier seasons? If she truly feels she is right, then why would it matter if Marlo is fired? Stand firm in your ground and don't engage. Obviously Marlo is getting under her skin for some reason. I personally think it's a combination of her overshadowing Nene on I Dream of Nene, plus the friendship with Kenya which sent her over the edge. Here is the article: http://thejasminebrand.com/2013/10/13/ear-hustlin-marlo-hampton-fired-from-real-housewives-of-atlanta-after-altercation/#.UlxjOVDrw6p

I need to see this before I make a decision. Nene is usually in the wrong with her hating ass. We'll see what happens and what's the truth.

Now I'm in the middle of July 2000, when they;re bizarrely having a prom in the middle of summer on a boat! This storyline is giving me EVERYTHING! The entire cast is involved and mixing, which is fun. I hadn't realized how many characters hadn't met Gwen yet! Also, Rebecca has appeared in the form of Maureen McCormick. She's doing good in the role, but I think her similarity to Kim Johnson Ulrich is probably why she didn't last. Her Rebecca seems more cutthroat than Andrea Evans, but it's possible that Evans was more serious in the beginning, This boat story is perfect. It has a nice blend of comedy and action. As slow as Passions may be, it never feels slow to me, The only story really dragging is this attempt on Sheridan's life. It seems every week the same thing happens and they've played her not believing she's in danger for far too long.Another fun thing was hearing a "dying" Grace tell Sam to tell Noah, Kay and Jessica that she loves them. It was so smart of JER to place those missing children there so you don't have to retcon them in later. It's easy to write them at college or boarding school and prevents you having to bend over backwards to make a new kid story work.

Kim tore Kandi's ass up in court lol. I figured Kim would win and I'm glad that she prevailed in the end. Another reason I wish she were on the show. I'd love to see Phaedra (who represented Kandi) and Kandi called out on this. Kim Zolciak Beats Kandi Burruss' Ass ... In Court Exclusive It's no clothes-tearing cat fight ... but it was still pretty nasty ... and now, former "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kim Zolciak has prevailed -- beating the crap out of Kandi Burruss in Kandi's own lawsuit. As we reported, Burruss -- repped by fellow RHOA star Phaedra Parks -- sued Zolciak over their 2009 song "Tardy for the Party," claiming Kim swindled her out of a huge chunk of the song's profits (... though we can't imagine they amounted to much). Zolciak responded with her own legal docs, accusing Kandi of using the lawsuit as a publicity stunt to promote her now-canceled show "The Kandi Factory." (Clearly it worked.) But NOW THE WAR IS OVER ... a judge has officially ruled in Kim's favor (pretty much on a technicality involving federal court jurisdiction and blah blah whatever). But who cares. Because now no one has to hear the phrase "Tardy for the Party" ever again.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92F-DQZrmFI&feature=youtu.be&a LOLOLOL! Funky Dineva's recap is just fantastic. It is hurting my heart the way Marlo and everybody keeps punking Diana out and I just can't take it. WHY did Diana start this mess and WHY won't she stop? She is sick lol. This woman is getting $28,000 a MONTH from her baby daddy (and courts already proved it's not going to the kids) and is on National TV dressed like she shops at Ross Dress For Less and Citi Trends. Cheap, YOU ARE WRONG for posting that screencap so we can see the difference in Marlo and Diana. She looks like a lost Simone from Passions from 1999! Nene is a damn lie saying that she isn't picking sides. Thus far she has picked Diana's side and attempted to throw both Lexis and Marlo under the bus. Why is she asking them why they're mad at Diana? Lexis simply asked why Marlo and Diana were fighting and based on her interactions with both, gave an observation for why that might be happening. Nene is the one who ran to Diana like a messy bitch. Then with Marlo, Nene was there and saw that Diana started that. She was being one-sided and she wanted Lexis and Marlo to bow down and apologize to Diana. I'm glad they continue to clown her.

Why would Christopher Williams be appearing? I just finished up I Dream of Nene: Episode 4 and I didn't expect to get so emotional. I almost broke out in the ugly cry when I saw Porsha and remember I'm going to have to listen to that annoying voice for 20+ episodes starting next month. And she sounds just as dumb as ever... ....in happier news, I found this a good episode for Marlo and Nene. Marlo is still looking fly and is effortless in her interactions with Diana. Another hat we got to see is Marlo as Creative Director for this wedding. Marlo has mentioned this in interviews so it was nice to clearly see this on screen. Nene even said that the new wedding planner would work with the help of her and Marlo. I like this. Nene better hurry and get over this feud because Marlo and Cynthia are the best things to happen to her on camera.

But Nene's side doesn't add up. If Marlo's goal is to be on the show then she'd do whatever Nene says so she could remain on RHOA and also on I Dream of Nene (season 2 WILL happen). If anything, creating a feud with Kenya would help secure Marlo's spot more than becoming friends with her. I think it's a simple case of Nene getting mad because Marlo is getting too much shine and she's jealous. Nene has shown from day one she is a total hater and VERY jealous. She loves to talk about how people aren't happy for her, but she's never been happy for anyone prior to her finding her own success.

Marlo vs Nene: The Details - http://straightfromthea.com/2013/10/07/nene-leakes-marlo-hampton-rhoa-beef-exclusive/ Basically, I knew it was some stupid mess. Nene is mad that Marlo has become friends with Kenya. Of course the writer spins it like Marlo is only friends with her for screentime. The crazy thing is that it's not unreasonable for Marlo and Kenya to be friends since Nene and Kenya didn't have any issues last year. I could see how someone wouldn't realize that was an issue. I think Kenya and Nene started beefing and THAT is what upset Nene. She probably tried to play the "You're my friend and ONLY my friend" card on Marlo. Definitely have to say that so far I'm still Team Marlo! Nene needs to grow up with this one.

Nene, from day one, has always been a hater. I love Nene and that is a big part of why, but if you look at that feud with Kim it came from her hating over Tardy For the Party. It's also the same reason she didn't like Kandi from the beginning, because Kandi produced Tardy For the Party and is more successful (and not threatened) by Nene. I strongly believe that this is happening because Nene got jealous of all the positive Marlo buzz and allowed these women to get in her head with this "opportunist" nonsense.

Whatever happened JUST happened because even yesterday Marlo was tweeting that Nene was just speaking her mind when Nene said Marlo's attitude is why she wasn't a housewife. I think Nene probably did get jealous of all the buzz Marlo got and that allowed her to entertain the "opportunist" claims. Of course they may have a smoking gun, but I just don't believe it. Marlo is back because Nene knew she'd be good for the ratings and people WANTED Marlo back. Why else would your press release focus on the fact the Marlo was returning? We didn't hear a word about the other ladies, including the popular basketball wives in the cast. Every press release and article mentioned Marlo.

Looks like Nene and Marlo have had a falling out. Weird since they were JUST hanging out Tuesday and Nene was sending out tweets in support of her during Tuesdays show. I think Nene listens too much to things other people tell her and doesn't listen to her judgement.

U will NEVER b a housewife boo boo Expand Entertainment Weekly: Who was the most difficult person to deal with during the wedding? The most difficult people were Marlo Hampton and Diana Gowins. When I say difficult, it was unbelievable that they could not step outside of themselves and say that this is a wedding for NeNe, our friend, and let’s just be here to support her. They argued most of the time, they were never really satisfied. They were very difficult in different ways. After working with Marlo on the show, I could see why she was not a housewife, because she’s super difficult. She’s super extra. I think Nene is wrong and I don't say this just as a Marlo supporter, but Marlo was quiet until other people started with her.
