Can she f-cking end the marriage to David already? So damn draining. Ugh.

That too. But Kim's show being in a death slot (on Friday nights) is not gonna help either. That's why they move M2M back to Fridays to assist Kim's show and hopefully help her get over a million viewers. I doubt it'll happen though. Most people that watch M2M have said they'll watch M2M and not watch Kim's show. Tardy for the Party is dead. Bravo needs to move the f-ck on and stop trying to make Kim "fetch." Either strong arm her into going back to RHOA full-time, or get rid of her. I'm for the latter of course.

Of course the show is her (and Kroy) cash cow. I've been said the primary reason Kim came back to RHOA was b/c she wanted raise and couldn't get it with a 30 minute show and no ad dollars being bought. How would she generate more ad dollars? More viewers. How would she get them? Return back to the A show (RHOA), fight with Kenya (the primary villain), and hopefully drag new viewers back to her spinoff. I don't see it working for her at all b/c people still remember Kim declaring time and time again that she was above show and these women. Reality TV show fans are too privy to the antics now to fall for Kim's stunt. I feel like building a season partially on Kim's return might be to the detriment of RHOA. Might p*ss enough people off to be over the main show. I feel like Bravo is playing a dangerous game right now.

Go on Twitter & IG and fans are already over Kim and the show hasn't aired yet. Even fans that typically loathe Kenya, have sided with her out of their disdain for Kim.

@Cat @alwaysAMC @Antoyne Fixed it. I had originally screen capped it instead of copying and pasting the Us weekly article, but I went ahead and just did the usual. Sorry about that.

Speculation is swirling that Kenya Moore quit The Real Housewives of Atlanta after she failed to join the rest of the cast on a trip to Barcelona, Spain. The Biggest ‘Real Housewives’ Fights Ever: A Definitive Ranking According to gossip website Tamara Tattles, the problems began when the other housewives reportedly lobbied producers for Kim Zolciak to be included on their Spanish sojourn and requested that Moore, 46, be left behind. That appeared to be what was happening until Zolciak posted a note on Instagram on Wednesday, September 27, saying that she wasn’t going on the trip. “WAS packing to leave the country then had a choice AND I decided,” she wrote. “I’ll be headed out for #DontBeTardy press instead! Season 6 premieres October 6th 8pm on @Bravotv #WhenYourOWNShowCalls… #SomeNeedToJustGiveItUp #ArentYouTired #Season6 #IAlwaysHaveAChoice.” But after Zolciak, 39, ducked out, Moore didn’t join the crew — instead, as Us exclusively revealed on Friday, September 29, actress and model Eva Marcille was announced as a new member of the RHOA cast for season 10 and she flew out to join NeNe Leakes and company in Europe. That leaves newlywed Moore at home, but a production source tells Us Weekly exclusively that "Kenya has not quit the show, nor has she been fired." The former Miss USA has been targeted by Zolciak this year, with the mother of six claiming that Moore’s June wedding to Marc Daly was a sham. Her marriage is said to be part of the issue with producers who want Daly to appear on the show. "Her husband is a former investment banker who has never sought the spotlight," the source says. "However, he wants to support his new bride and her career ... apparently not fast enough." “Kenya was pulled from the cast trip last-minute and Bravo may be playing a bit of hardball to get Kenya's new husband on the show by limiting her on-air appearances,” the source tells Us. "Kenya is a newlywed and has to respect her new husband's wishes to not be part of the show." The source added that the backstage drama is taking a toll on the reality star: "Kenya has been trying to have a baby and the stress has caused her unnecessary emotional distress." Moore seemed to address the rumors with an Instagram photo on Saturday, September 30, that showed her calmly looking off into the distance with the words, “A Sitting Queen never quits and cannot be removed from her throne.” http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/did-kenya-moore-quit-real-housewives-of-atlanta-w506511

Thank you! Let me go back and read up on this thread.

And it worked b/c Sonja had history with Ramona. Eva does not have history with this group. Cramming her down our throats isn't gonna work. Shamea & Marlo do have history with the group, but they should've just made them full-time from jump. These wide gaps of using them and then not is gonna come off so jarring. Seriously though, Bravo needs to make it mandatory that all their shows cast people from jump. If they don't work then oh well. Fire their a** and cast again next season. All these pop-up players hurt the show just like this method has hurt Love & Hip Hop.

*gasps* Can I see these scripts if you don't mind?

Well damn. Are there any episodes of this show that are available? Wasn't this the show that was on HBO or Showtime?

They aren't as bad. Trust me. EE can p*ss me off at times, but at least they can afford to have tons of sets and do locales every now and then. Days is painful for me to watch with the 5 sets they have.

I totally forgot about Royce DID story. Seeing as you pointed it out, it was like Marland got to finally tell the stories he wanted to tell on ATWT, which was his greatest work of art. Sad ABC wouldn't allow him to tell the story he wanted to tell with Lily Slater either when he co-created Loving.

Poor Shakil. It looks like they are about to pair him up with Bernadette while Bex chases after her teacher. Weird how they are doing another teacher/student story featuring the Fowlers in less than a year. Bex was just livid over Michelle boinking Preston and now she's doing her teacher. Good God.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was wondering about both. Gunther was there one second and gone the next. I was wondering if there were clips of his demise or of Quint mourning him. Also, if people wanna do a DID story correctly and not for shock value, Carrie Marler's is the one to study. Do you think that because Marland was instructed to wrap up Carrie's story differently, which led to his departure from GL, that he went on to tell the story somewhat how he wanted to on Loving? Wasn't Lily given DID?

I've been watching a lot of 82/83 GL as of late and was Quint's assistant, Gunther killed? If so, was it b/c of Silas Crocker? I feel like I might've accidentally missed that. Also, how many alters did Carrie Marler have? Was it just Carrie Anderson & Carrie McKenzie? Or were there more?

I think Shamea is only being blocked b/c of Nene. There were rumors that those clashed early on in the season, and Nene made production choose either her or Shamea. I'm hoping Shamea is smoothing things over with Nene over in Barcelona, but folks on Twitter are already claiming that it is Sheree/Porsha/Shamea v. Nene/Cynthia/Marlo/Eva. Pretty sure Kandi will be neutral as always. And Marlo won't be a housewife (too) b/c of what you pointed out. Also, unlike Kenya, Marlo thirsts for the camera. She'll do too much to ensure she out shines everyone including Nene. At least Kenya knows when to act up and when to sit back and watch. I don't see Eva delivering at all. If this was old school Eva like during her ANTM days, I'd say yes. She's mellowed out a lot since. I can see her turning up a bit for a peach, but I don't see her going Marlo levels of thirsty. IMO, they should've just given Eva and Shamea a peach from the start, and given Kim's "official friend of housewives" to Marlo. The cast should've been the current 6 + Shamea & Eva. It is gonna be so jarring seeing all these women pop up out the blue at the 11th hour. This is some LHH/Mona Scott type of mess. Nawl. Miami had all their ducks in a row in s2, and Alexia was only supporting b/c of the accident with her son. Otherwise, I think she would've held a mojito that season too. Like I said to @Chris B, this is some Love & Hip Hop mess where they pull all these nobodies out at the 11th hour to see who sticks. It's gonna wreak of desperation come time for the Barcelona episodes b/c it'll be obvious they are bringing all these women out to try and replace Kenya. It'll be obvious too when they turn up b/c we'll all know they are doing it to land a peach in s11. This is why they should cast women from jump and stick to it. All this last casting has hurt ATL, OC, and BH too (as they are known for doing it too) when it comes to drama. Gotta give props to the production companies that cast for Dallas, Potomac, and NY. They make their casts official from jump and stick with it throughout. They don't pull out all these B players mid-season. That's why all 3 of those shows have had successful, fun recent seasons.

I doubt Marlo will still get a peach after this. I see them giving the slot to either Shamea or Eva. Marlo is most likely being played with and they'll pull the rug from under her once again.

I find that so odd given that old school soap fans rave about how good the acting was during that time and you had powerhouses on those shows that were still relevant come time the shows started to get recognition. I've always felt that ABC was catered too more by the Daytime Emmys.

^ Apparently, these are rumored to be texts from the EP that were put on Twitter. Looks like the rumors might not be true and Kenya is still on the show. I'm guessing she pulled a Nene & Kim and opted to just not go on the trip.

The new EP gay. He ain't dating Brielle. Brielle's trashy a** is still dating that minor league baseball player, who has a heavily resemble to Kroy. Nope. Kenya is not on the trip. She also msg'd TamaraTattles that she did not quit. Either the show fired her for not going on the trip, or Kenya simply opted not to go. Seeing as Nene didn't go with the ladies to Thailand back in s7, I wouldn't be surprised if Kenya just pulled the same thing. Word is though that Kenya is lawyering up and is about to go to war with Bravo. If true, I typically think that suing networks is career suicide, BUT if anyone can pull of a win, it is Kenya. Kenya is crafty and always slept on by many. I wouldn't be surprised if Kenya has been documenting stuff for years for use against Bravo in a situation like this.

RHOA are livid over Kenya quitting and are already turning their fangs on Andy & the new EP, who is a very close friend with Kim. Apparently, some fans found an old tweet of the current EP that shows his bias: Once this started picking up steam, he deactivated his Twitter. I am truly believing this season was an elaborate scheme to get rid of Kenya with Andy at the helm...

I've never gotten Kim Zolciak's appeal ever. I never liked her. I found her to be toxic, disgusting, and just foul. It unnerves me when people rave about Kim, but loathes Kenya. It doesn't even make any sense. Kim is a bigot and big time liar. A heinous liar that lied about cancer. Kenya lies too, but her lies aren't affecting or damaging anyone. Kim is just disgusting.

^ This. And cheap knockoffs like Marlo ain't gonna cut it either. But according to TT, she's said that Kenya contacted her and didn't quit, nor did she have anything to do with Kim not going on the trip. I'm beginning to wonder if this elaborate scheme to bring back Kim and have the women turn on Kenya was the plan all along. Word is that the new EP is Kim's best friend and was former EP of Kim's show. Plus, we all know Andy would love to get rid of Kenya, as he loathes her. I hope this blows up in Bravo's face tremendously. I get people don't like Kenya, but Kenya >>>>>>>>>>> Kim all day, every day.
