Well, they quite bluntly addressed the Kordell gay rumors in the RHOA premiere...

Kenya got played. Doesn't she know Nene always gets the last word?

Kandi looked a hot mess with that Kool-Aid-colored hair. I thought she'd learned from her previous hair disasters.

This does appear to be a much more dramatic season than the snooze-worthy and contrived Season 5, and I'm looking forward to the massive Nene/Kenya screamfest/blow-up later this season. And whatever that huge melee we saw with the whole cast.

Nene was totally right here. Kenya may be Nene's friend, but Walter is Gregg's friend and Gregg has just as much right to invite a friend of his as Nene does a friend of hers. If Kenya really cared about Nene she would have sucked it up and showed up. And if what Nene is saying is true - that Kenya never RSVPD/responded, well then that only makes it worse. Kenya has backed herself into a corner and I suspect this may be her second and last season. Nene mopped the floor with her tonight, both in the argument AND in the talking heads.

Porsha was actually the standout of the episode for me, and she's probably the only housewife that has a story I'm particularly interested in. I know I liked/defended her last year as well, but I can always admit she was a weak link last year (though I believe Kenya was too), but this year Porsha seemed like she belonged.

Ugh! Once again Bravo recycles the same opening from one season to the next. I hate that they didnt give the women new shots, but at least they got new taglines. I loved Kenya. "Everyone thinks they have me figured out but I'm always the wildcard"

Poor deluded Porsha. She still wants to save her marriage with that worthless loser. Wow, he would lock her out of the house if she came home late? I actually feel sorry for her. Girl needs some help.

I LOVED Kenya's entrance. Finally the diva is back! She's so damn extra and i love it.

LMAO at her picture for the headline. "Hello Cynthia, you know I dont care for Porsha or Phaedra" WHY is Walter still around? Go away "Honey, I am Kenya Moore. You will not dismissed me, nor will I be dismissed" Kenya vs Nene is GOLD! Its already making season 6 potentially better than last. Id rather see Kenya feuding with Nene than weak ass Porsha

Phaedra calling her son Mr. President was highly annoying

I cant with Kandi looking like Sideshow Bob and this look forever cemented in the opening.

Nope and ewwww!

Yes! Just finished. I forgot to ask you about IDoN, but how did you feel about Nene calling Lexis a hoodrat? I know you were riding hard for Lexis on that show and wanted to know your thoughts on Nene clowning her on tv Edited by Cheap21

I just finished RHOA and it looks like this is going to be a can't-miss season. As you all know, I HATED Porsha with a passion, but I found myself warming to her. She's still an idiot, but I think being without Kordell will help her be herself and not try so hard to put on airs and fit in. Kenya vs Nene was great because you could tell both women had planned that argument and it was just us waiting to see who got to it first. I think Nene will win in the long run because she is more clever than Kenya.

I went back to liking Phaedra, but I need her to stay focused on her business, family and making funny quips and not feuding with Kenya. Seeing her get so far down in the gutter was so disheartening last season. Jury is still out on if I'll fall back in love with her. Kandi is the same ole Kandi, but this season she actually has something good going on. We know Kandi has a bad history with picking men, so it's possible Mama Joyce is right, but I also wonder if Mama Joyce is just jealous and wants Kandi single. Of course the third option is that she's right and Todd IS cheating, but only time will tell.

Cynthia continues to be a complete bore. I found her totally enjoyable in season 3 and she was PERFECT in season 4, but she did nothing of use in season 5 and from the previews it looks like it's more of the same from her this season. I feel like Cynthia and Phaedra have been put in the untouchable circle with Kandi and Nene, but Cynthia hasn't really earned it. I would be okay with her leaving after this season.

One thing that troubles me is Kenya's styling. Many joked that she became friends with Marlo so Marlo could help style her, but I wish that were true! Kenya looked like a mortician was doing her makeup and her outfits just looked so cheap and tired. I feel she's gorgeous, but she has absolutely no idea how to style herself.

In other news....REALLY excited for RHOBH! I feel like these new ladies will inject something new into the show. My interest last season died as soon as they decided to center the entire season around someone mostly off screen (Adrienne) and an exposed secret that we didn't know about! It was terrible.

So far I was not impressed with any of this year's RH shows, but Atlanta seems like fun.

Cynthia is gorgeous, I ahave a soft spot for Kenya and Porsha (though still very stupid) seems more interesting this year. Nene continues to act like royalty, I'd rather see Marlo in that role.

It looks as though it might be a good season :)

So this is how things stack up this season:

Nene - with A New Normal cancelled and Glee pushed back, Nene is forced back to the simple life in ATL. Looks like that frustration has her turned up enough to get more involved unlike last year.

Kenya vs Nene - I think this will be the big story of the season and the one to drive it. Two divas and I look forward to them doing battle! If she didn't have Nene though to fight, I don't know what she'd be doing this year as her connection with the rest is pretty weak

Kandi - looks like her story will be this triangle with Todd and Carmen. Even Mama Joyce is getting heated! Looks like it will be interesting.

Porsha - She's going to have a Porsha in the City type vibe as she becomes single and gets herself back in the dating scene of ATL. I wasn't feeling her last season and still don't but for once she actually has a story that's strong enough to stand on its own and doesn't need the other women. Kordelll leaving her was well timed as it set her up nicely for this season.

Phaedra. From previews, I cant tell if they are trying to say Kenya is trying to throw herself at Apollo or if its some new chick. Yawn, don't care. That was last seasons story

Cynthia. She doesn't seem to have anything besides the usual money troubles that Peter gets himself into.

I don't think Todd is an opportunist; at least I hope not! I buy his love for Kandi and think he has genuine intentions. I never liked Joyce after the way she handled the AJ relationship but somethnig about her getting turned up in the promo has me interested in her this season

I thought Cynthia was perfect last season. Cant even remember her story from season 4. After Kenya, Cynthia was the star of season 5. I will say that she like a less deluded DeShawn. Nice and sweet, but not much drama there. I don't think she's boring. I think she's necessary as she adds much needed balance.

Kenya actually looked better on the show than the pics we saw a few months ago. I said she looked a mess with her makeup but it wasn't as bad in motion.

I think in seasons 3 & 4, Cynthia was kinda like NYC's Alex, where nobody really cared about her opinion or even whether or not she was around. But she stepped it up last season (along with her hair!) and I enjoy her so much more now. But keep Papa Smurf to a minimum. He totally drags her down.

Overall, I *loved* last night's ATL premiere and the season looks promising. Porsha is still a dumb barbie doll, but at least she has a story this year that's interesting.

It would definitely be explosive if they included Marlo in footage of the Kenya vs. NeNe feud. Kenya is about to have zero ladies in her corner. If the NeNe/Kenya feud escalates, there's no way Cynthia would take Kenya's side.

Looking forward to Beverly Hills tonight!

Brandi is Brandi.

Lisa really is kinda shady but I don't really know if she means to be or not.

Kyle is a bitch.

The witch needs to go.

The young girl seems fun.

Yolanda is flawless.

Kim is even more irrelevant than ever.

Good episode. Season looks good but it also looks really staged IMO but I think the cast can sell it.

    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
    • She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
    • I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.  
    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
