Someone tell me this is not Faye?!

*Wow* It was in this thread that I saw ppl were saying she was biracial and she bleached her skin but this can't be true. This BLACK woman cannot be Faye. Is this why ya'll keep calling her morally corrupt?

While they're working on the illegal immigration issue, they need to also work on the legal immigration issue. Trying to stay in the US as a legal immigrant is an extremely tedious process and getting a green card and then trying to become a citizen is an even worse issue.

I was always under the assumption that all one simply had to do was marry someone who was a citizen to get legalized, now there are so many cases of individuals still being deported or denied a green card even when their spouse is a US citizen. I was watching The Ed show a few days ago and he played recordings of people who were in legal immigration hell. This man called in to say he married his Filipino wife, they've been married for years and they filed legal papers to adjust her status. While her case was pending her father died and she left the US and returned to the Philippines to attend his funeral and was denied access back into the country. This man and his wife have been separated ever since. I feel just awful for them.

And the GOP have got to stop clinging to this belief that the majority of illegal immigration stems from breaching the border. Many people came here legally and overstayed on their visas. The Mexican and Canadian borders have never been more secure than they are right now and statistics prove that.

So what are people's takes on immigration reform since it's been thrust to the spotlight again.

Cheap, Peter is from Jamaica and grew up in New York. He said it a couple of times and you could definetly here his accent when he gets worked up.

I don't think Kandi needs to lose weight, especially for her wedding. She's just going to gain the weight she lost since it's been such a struggle for her. Kandi's problem is that she dresses like she's a size 2 which accentuates her big ass and thick thighs. It's not a good look but there's a ton of guys who love how thick she is.

I had no idea Nene was that tall. She practcially towers over everyone in that pic.

Peter gave a shout out to my old neighborhood Flatbush lol.

If this turned out to be a real feud it would have been a great way to connect the two shows but Lisa shut him down with one reply and that was the end of that. It made Peter look dumb.

I saw Kenya on Andy and my god she should keep her "Gonewiththewind Fabulous" antics confined to Bravo and ATl because when she doesn't she looks like a complete fool. The audience was clearly laughing at her. And again with the Beyonce reference smh.

Kenya is crazy and Marlo is absolutely certifiable. I never wanted Marlo becoming a housewife however Kenya vs Marlo would be highly entertaining.

Nene was really funny on WWHL. When a caller said I know you and Phaedra are really good friends her face was priceless. I'm wondering what went down between her and Porsha because she said in Anguilla she was on her side but after that she's now she's now on Kenya's side. When Andy showed a clip of her in season 1 she started giggling and I think she said I can't believe that's me. Yeah heffa that was you, looking really tore up! She's certainly come along way. The lipo and nose job have done wonders for her appearance. Even her make up is now on point. She also said that the girls weren't smart when Andy commented that she's the only one out of them who were still here. Of course she ate it up.

As for Walter I think he's playing the role of a dick pretty well. Since the relationhsip is fake we can't really say he's an !@#$%^&*] since all of this is being done to give Kenya a story.

I don't necessarily miss Sheree or Kim but the kumbaya isn't working for me. I need drama every once in awhile to keep me entertained.

I can only laugh at Christie and King's fake outrage. They know that their fellow Republicans only like giving our hard earned tax money to the wealthy 1%. They are only raving because this is impacting their political fortunes. I hope the people of New Jersey are paying attention and not getting sucked in by Christie's act.

Christie is looking very sympathetic here - and he has effectively turned down his blustering rhetoric. From the moment he "switched sides" and praised Obama during Sandy people started looking at him differently. By withholding relief money (which he will eventually get)he's coming off as someone who cares for the people and endorses bipartisanship which will no doubt make him a major contender in 2016. He's playing all his cards right.

So Boehner's plan B has been shut down and yet Obama is being way too conciliatory with these negotiations. He's once again offering compromise and offering a smaller package that would extend the Bush-era tax rates on income below $250,000. The Republicans have shown absolutely no sign of even attempting to reach a deal that will save this country and Obama should be aggressive. His conciliatory rhetoric isn't flying with me at all.

Wasn't it reported that that the episode where Kim left was the highest rated of the series?

BH: It was phony as hell when those men asked Brandi if she was ok after Paul and Adrienne left. They literally all just stood there while she was being attacked, including the man she came with, and then offered diatribe as "no one deserves to be spoken to like that - tsk, tsk"... If I were Brandi I would have left promptly. She looked ridiculous still sitting there.

Kyle had absolutely no problem when Faye ganged up on Brandi and the second Lisa interjected she shot her down with a quick "I know you don't like Adrienne". She's a bully and I'm surprised Lisa didn't defend Brandi more at the party.

ATL's episode was entertaining through and through.

Why is it Nene's business to keep commenting that something "ain't right" with Kenya and Walter? Who died and made her truth seeker. She was annoying yet funny especially because Walter revealed the truth this week. And she's trippin' because although she's suddenly above getting into fights this bitch not too long ago was the first person to step in someone's face and cause drama so who the heck is she kidding telling Kenya she can't go around trying to fight ppl and not talk things rationally. GMAB.

It was hella funny tho when she started looking at her nails and the other woman seemed bored when Kenya and Porsha started screaming like hyenas. Kenya is absolutely ridiculous and she's so damn jealous of Porsha. Porsha, this unbelievable ditz, who looks barely out of high school doesn't have to work a damn day of her life mooching off her husband's money, living off the fame of her grandfather while Kenya's been irrelevant since winning Ms. USA. Every time she tells Kenya she's old it cuts her to the bone and it's obvious.

Phaedra had some good soundbites especially when she said Kenya needed to put ice in her panties.

For Cynthia's sake I hope her marriage lasts. They almost made me a believer. Almost.

ETA: I forgot to mention on a completely shallow note that Cynthia continues to look absolutely stunning. I didn't care to see Nene's flabby skin with black marks during the massage and her hair looked a damn mess. Kenya's horrible skin in HD? No words.

Taylor is irrelevant as hell and she's still employed because of pity.

Andy better rid this franchise of her rancid ass after this season.

I thought it was already reported she was fired a few months ago.

LOL at that clip. LeAnne is crying without any tears and looks like she had some work done.

I can't stand Giuliana. She's so fake.

I find it interesting that the shoe is now on the other foot with Adrienne. Last season she claimed Lisa told stories to tabloids and Lisa accused her of slander and defamation of character and she's claiming those very things to Brandi and now she's livid.

Paul's attitude towards Brandi was disturbing but the fact that absolutely no one intervened made it even more disturbing. Brandi came with a male friend, where was he? Everyone just stood there, including Mauricio, watching her verbally assaulted by Paul and the only thing Kyle was worried about was making a scene in front of her guests. Paul looked like he was seconds from smacking Brandi in the face. And this is where Lisa was sorely missed because she would never have stood for Paul berating Brandi (or any of the other ladies for that matter) in public like that. She's definitely a class act.

Since BH started Paul has always come across as a loveable goofball so for him to be that upset must have been one hell of a secret Brandi spilled and this is where the audience gets cheated since we will never know what was said.

Which leads me to Kim and her big mouth. She threw Brandi under the bus because she still doesn't like her even though Brandi made several attempts to make peace. It's kinda sad because Brandi is desperate to fit in with these chicks but they will never consider her one of them.

I fail to see why Bravo would care if Nene reconciled with Greg because he's so irrelevant. She's the one who brings the drama all on her own. She said on The Talk that she and Greg are back together and I believe her.

LMAO!

Oh my, Phaedra's thighs...

Anyone catch Nene on The Talk today.

Nene and Kim are exactly alike. They both think they are above the show because they have found success away from it. Trust, if Nene's schedule didn't allow her to go to Anguilla she wouldn't think twice about bailing and if her success truly took off she would leave in a heart beat. The show "fired" Kim so they could simply transition her to her new series.

Exactly. I don't see why Kim expects she can just not interact with other cast members and miss events and gatherings. I understand she is pregnant but Phaedra jumped right into this show while in her final months of pregnancy. Kim is just being lazy and I bet Kroy has got her thinking she's better than all of those ladies bc she used to be so interactive. Oh well.

To be fair that was Nene's MO last season. When she was riding high off her Apprentice fame and cashing "Trump" checks she acted the same way Kim is acting now. She may have gone to the events but the cast was segregated. She weren't talking to any of the girls except Cynthia and we all know it's because she kisses her ass. Many commented here if she didn't want to interact with the girls and she felt she was too big for the show then she should leave so even though I applauded her for calling Kim out it was only because the others were passive aggressive but she was being hypocritical. The only difference between her and Kim now is that the girls actually coordinated their schedules for Anguilla and Kim decided to bail at the last minute whereas Nene last season would show up late at the events and isolate herself from the cast. And everyone knows she said in the previous reunion that she had better things to do with her time than sit around gossiping with a bunch of forty year old women after Kandi called her judgmental.

I get what folks are saying but it still feels as if Kim, like Cheap said, was rewarded for her own show. If she was truly fired, Andy still seems to be very friendly with her on WWHN and unless statistics and rating numbers were stipulated in the contract than any cut throat lawyer could have gotten BRAVO out of that obligation.

I keep going back and forth on Nene's hair. I love the color but I hate the blatant track in front. The weave should have flowed seamlessly to the back. You could literally see the where the track starts and ends. UGH

So just to confirm, this is the last we see of Kim for the rest of the season?

I loved Nene in the confrontation since she was the only woman in the group willing to call Kim out while the rest were content to make faces and be passive aggressive. And of course Kim couldn't handle the heat so she bailed. I still have issues with Nene but she has obviously matured even though I hate those silly faces she makes when she's mimicking someone. In the past she would shriek and act like a crazy person but she showed maturity even though her temper was flaring. Kim obviously thinks she's above these girls so if she wants to move on then good riddance. It may sound racist but a white housewife isn't needed on this show.

Kroy is gorgeous and the scruff works. When he called the cameramen motherf*ckers and told them to stop filming. Sexy!

I'm still confused by Kim and Sweetie's relationship. It's really pathetic.

Phaedra's tight white jeans to accentuate her big ass was a very unflattering look for her.

Cynthia continues to look absolutely gorgeous in her soundbites.

We're suppose to believe that huge ass WEAVE on Kenya's head is her own?

BH is boring me and the previews look even worse. Unless there's a big event that brings the ladies together there's no drama. Leave it to BRAVO to hype Brandi telling Adrienne to STFU up and that's literally what they showed in the last minute of the show. Unbelievable.
