Kenya's first season made a huge splash. Last season wouldn't have worked without her, especially with Kim leaving. Nene was playing it cool and nobody else had much of a storyline. I'm not saying she was a beloved castmember, but she perfectly replaced Sheree as the center of drama.

Now you know you lying. tongue.png S5 was all about Kenya v. Phaedra--the Battle of the Stallion v. the Donkey. Nothing else really mattered last season and Kenya was the one getting the show major press last season. Kenya was the woman, who made Cynthia relevant at all last season after being irrelevant for two previous seasons. Kenya was the woman that made Porsha relevant. Had Kenya not clashed with Porsha, Porsha wouldn't've gotten cast. And Kenya is the only woman to have called Phaedra out on her deeds after two seasons of hardly anyone doing it. Sorry, buddy, but Kenya revived RHOA last season, and has made it must see TV this season.

You need to define "shot to stardom"

Nene is housewife famous. That's it.

And yes they both left and the show did fine. It will if nene leaves too.

Last season revolved 90% around her. "I don't condone violence but.." Is condoning violence boo.

It's fine if you wanna see Kenya get a beat down. But own it.

For real. Kenya was pretty much the only one with story last season as she gave everyone something. Nene was off in LA and barely seen. Porsha, Phaedra and Cynthia all had story which revolved around Kenya. Kandi is probably the only one that didn't have much to do with Kenya but then again, I cant even recall what she was doing last year. Kenya was by far THE most memorable thing about last season. You'd have to be a hater to deny that

The only way I could've seen Season 5 working without Kenya is if Kim remained and her feud with Kandi became the big story of the year. I could also see Kim and Nene reuniting during that season, but otherwise I'm not sure what they could've done because NO ONE was bringing it last year. Season 5 remains my least favorite season, to be honest. Kenya was the main saving grace.

From: MTO

First off,let us just say that this is going to be the BEST REUNION SHOW in the History of REALITY SHOWS.

The drama began almost immediately with Kenya being the ringleader of it all. Almost as soon as Andy Cohen started asking his questions, Kenya would BUT IN and try and embarrass her castmates. For example, Andy tried to delicately talk about Apollo's current FEDERAL LEGAL ISSUES . . . and Kenya kept calling him a JAIL BIRD . . . and saying that he needed to be in JAIL for what he did to her friend. It was OUT OF LINE and rude.

But Kenya's antics were PARTICULARLY geared towards NENE. Kenya called NeNe out for the RECENT release of her mugshots, and for the fact that she no longer works on GLEE. Kenya was dishing SHADE .. . but it was done in a very MEAN SPIRITED WAY . . . and you could tell that everyone on the set was starting to CATCH FEELINGS.

But while Kenya was on camera trying to TURN UP . . . NeNe was behind the scenes plotting her REVENGEH. According to our snitch, during one of the breaks, NeNe got in Porsha's ear . . . and convinced her that Kenya was "TAKING OVER" the reunion, and that she needed to be stopped. This happened about 8 HOURS INTO the shooting . . . after Porsha had drank a FULL BOTTLE of champagne on her own. So she was DRUNK and IMPRESSIONABLE.

When they resumed filming. Kenya tried Porsha - by making comments about what Porsha ALLEGEDLY did with sex toys and her ex-husband Kordell's BOOTYHOLE. But Porsha, who was amped up on LIQUOR and NENE'S GAS . . . blacked out. She jumped up and PUNCHED Kenya in the face. She then GRABBED KENYA BY HER WEAVE and started dragging her LITERALLY across the stage . . . all the while punching her in the head.

IT WAS A MESS. Bravo apparently did not have proper security, so the beating lasted longer than any other fight on Reality TV. We have to be clear . . . this wasn't no Bad Girls Club type of cat fight ... Porsha actually BEAT THAT LADY AZZ . . . like some WORLDSTAR SH*T!!!

After the beating, the tone of the reunion changed, with everyone talking about how violence is never the answer, and how what Porsha did was out of line. The producers went to GREAT LENGTHS to try and patch things up with Kenya and Porsha last night. But as of the time that they LEFT THE SET AROUND MIDNIGHT . . . Kenya was still talking about FILING CRIMINAL CHARGES against Porsha.

I'm not condoning it. Yes, a beatdown makes for great TV and as long as she wasn't hurt badly, I think they should air it. I, personally, would never act that way and if Porsha were my friend, I would tell her she was wrong. But at the same time, I can see why Porsha would be fed up and if she wasn't thinking straight, this isn't that surprising. I'm not saying I condone it, I'm just saying that it's not like it's completely random.

It is bc she's never been shown to be violent. She and Kenya have barely had anything to do with each other all season. Their feud was last year and they were not in each other's stories this year. Riling her up at the reunion makes her go from 4 to 14? It seems like a desperate attempt to remain relevant and get people talking about her bc even she can see from the tv that her story on the show fizzled out a few weeks into the season and really had nothing till Peter filmed Kordell to stir things up

RHOBH Reunion Part 2

Again, what a did of an episode...this could have been a 1 hour reunion, easily.

Kim really needs to get over herself and the fact that Lisa has never, ever really liked her. They've been cordial but to suggest that they've ever been friends, which seems to be Kim's contention about why she wanted Lisa at the graduation party, is absurd. Kim seems so desperate for Lisa to like her but can't articulate why she likes Lisa. It just made very little sense to me. But then, nothing Kim related does. The attitude these women have when Lisa RSVPd is so weird. It seems anything Kim related needs handling with kid gloves.

Joyce will be back next season, she did well with her mild digs at Brandi.

Carlton v Kyle was such a letdown. It lasted a grand total of 30 seconds? I will be shocked if Carlton returns which is a pity because she is far superior to Joyce when provoked and her husband's business could have made for some interesting moments.

Yolanda wasn't much of a factor at all. Neither was Kyle for that matter.

Brandi is wrecking her looks with overaggressive filler work. People who try and accentuate their cheekbones with filler often look overdone. And that's her. The red lipstick doesn't help. And I guess her doctor never told her that when you're on antidepressants you are not supposed to drink alcohol because it interferes negatively with the medication.

Lisa's hair looks bad in this reunion. She was going for Dynasty meets Lion's Mane...but it just looks crispy and dry. Lisa looks her best in jeans and a white shirt.

Such a dumb episode to waste my time on. I'm hanging in there for part three.

I wonder if they hired extra security for the NJ reunions, since that franchise set the precedent for actual physical violence (the Joes, Teresa, etc.) I can't help but feel a bit sad about this, though. Will we see security lurking around the perimeter of the set at all ATL reunions? It's a bad look for the only black franchise.

I want to see how it plays out, and if it completely overshadows the other conflicts we wanted to see resolved this season. (Phaedra must be thrilled, for many reasons.) Given the coverage the fight is getting, Bravo is guaranteed big ratings for it.

you mean Mexico? That was hardly called getting into it. Porsha tried to chime in to do something that didn't involve her and Kenya quickly shut her down. As far as talking heads go, they ALL throw shade and Kenya had been the target of Porsha's all season so she really shouldn't be so heated over that

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
    • GH 1976 Pt 8 Heather takes advantage of the situation by asking Jeff to come and look at Tommy. She uses sympathy, compassion, and her own feminine wiles, together with his misery and his pills, to lure him into bed. Later, sober, he apologizes. Learning from Pearson that Monica has seen a divorce lawyer, Jeff confronts her, and she insists it’s a lie. Avoiding his attempts to kiss her, she musses her hair and tears her blouse, then rushes to Rick’s, claiming that she can’t stay with that maniac any longer. They wind up in Rick’s bed, and after making love he confesses he always loved her. Rick replies to her question of whether he wants to marry her by saying he has to talk to Jeff. Monica insists that Jeff not bear any pressure from their problems. As she leaves, Rick gives her a key to his apartment. Jeff, having spent the night drinking, misses his surgical assignment, and Steve, informing him that his personal life can’t interfere with his profession, puts him on suspension. Rick can’t persuade Steve to reverse his decision, but Mark, sensing what’s at the heart of Jeff’s problem, convinces Steve to lift Jeff’s suspension and transfer him to Mark’s service. Rick asks for his key back, telling Monica they can’t do anything as long as she’s under Jeff’s roof. So she has a duplicate made and moves into intern’s quarters, explaining that Jeff’s violence drove her out. She tells Jeff she needs privacy to work things out, and tells Rick Jeff wanted her out. Thinking that this is the preliminary to a divorce, Rick tells her she can come to his place. In New York, Leslie’s abortion is delayed by a mix-up in scheduling, and she calls Terri to commiserate. Rick overhears Terri’s conversation and forces the whole story from her. He flies to New York to stop Leslie, feeling responsible for pointing out how evil Cam was, and arrives to find that she has decided she can’t deny her child the right to live. Monica, meanwhile, expecting that Rick will be home, uses her key to let herself into his apartment and is shocked to find Mark there; knowing that Mark was uncomfortable at the hotel, Rick offered Mark use of the apartment in his absence. Monica is upset to learn that Rick is in New York with Leslie, and Mark doesn’t know why. Mark does advise Monica to play fair with Jeff, but she resents his interference. The next day, while covering for Leslie at the clinic, Monica discovers Leslie’s lab test report and jumps to the conclusion that the baby is Rick’s. When Rick and Leslie return, Monica wastes no time in accusing him. He is dismayed to see that she is still as suspicious and possessive as she was before he went to Africa, and points out that her making a duplicate  key proves she hasn’t changed. Terri encourages Leslie to see Rick in a romantic light and then suggests to Rick that Leslie is interested in him. Rick likes this idea and tells Mark he’s growing ‘unwilling to cope with Monica’s unreasonable demands. But Monica immediately recognizes the threat Leslie represents and decides to attack. She goes to Leslie and tells her flatly that she and Rick are having an affair and he’s her exclusive property. Leslie, who realizes she has been falling in love with Rick, is hurt, and Rick is mystified when he feels Leslie pulling away from him. Monica’s big moment comes when she brings Rick a housewarming gift and seduces him into letting her stay overnight. She is in the bedroom when Leslie stops by to apologize for refusing his dates, and makes a dramatic entrance into the living room draped in Rick’s bathrobe. Leslie turns and runs out. Rick later informs her he’s disappointed in her, because she prejudged Monica and him rather than giving him the benefit of the doubt. Heather tries to arrange another tryst with Jeff, but he replies that he still loves his wife. Heather decides there’s only one way to get Jeff to be pregnant with his child. She manages to overhear Monica putting Jeff down by telling him he no longer turns her on and should look for someone he does. Heather goes to Jeff and tells him that she heard Monica and that she is the one he’s looking for. She manages to get him into bed again, and sweetly assures him this is right. She then sets the stage for future meetings. Steve, meanwhile, offers to help Monica and Jeff work out their problems. Jeff is willing, but Monica turns the idea down. Instead, she presses Terri to convince Jeff to end the marriage. Terri now knows that Monica isn’t a good wife for Jeff and promises to try. But Jeff makes it clear to Monica that he still loves her and won’t let her go. She is bitter and upset, as she has already implied to Rick that she will soon be free. Audrey is upset to find that Florence Andrews has been inquiring about Tommy and herself. She goes to Florence’s home and finds she’s away now. Florence has gone down to Mexico to sign a sworn statement that she purchased a false death certificate for Tom, to protect his son after his wrongful conviction. Tom, learning from her that Steve and Audrey are to be married and Steve is planning to adopt Tommy, tells  Florence not to do anything, as there’s still no assurance that he’ll ever get out. But the judge does accept the statement, and, ironically, on the day that Steve  and Audrey are married, Tom is released from prison.
    • 1976 Pt 12 Final part Laurie agrees with Stuart that Peggy is rushing into marriage to prove that the rape didn’t ruin her life.  She points out that the only way Peg can be sure is to make love with Jack before the wedding. Stuart admits she’s right but points out that he can’t suggest that to Peggy. As the wedding approaches, Peg seems happy that Jack’s become close to the family. However, her happiness is shattered by a nightmare in which her loving bridegroom turns into a leering Ron Becker, forcing her to cancel the wedding. Jack reassures her he’ll wait as long as it takes, and Chris confides that she and Snapper didn’t consummate their marriage on their wedding night because of her own rape experience, but Peggy tells Chris she might never be ready.  Despite her desire to keep Karen as her own daughter, Chris helps a police artist create a sketch of Nancy so it can be printed in the newspaper as part of a search for her. When the attempt proves fruitless, however, Chris asks Greg to file application for permanent custody of the child. Greg points out that adoption is the only way to prevent Ron from returning and claiming the child, and that it will take quite a while. Meanwhile, a nurse in the psychiatric ward sees a resemblance  between the newspaper drawing and her autistic patient, Mrs. Jackson, but since “Fran” doesn’t respond to the name Nancy and no one else sees the similarity, she fears she’s mistaken. Jill is horrified to overhear Kay, when brihging baby Phillip a Christmas gift, telling the child she remembers the night he was conceived. Kay has to then admit to Jill she saw her with Phillip in the bunkhouse that night. Jill is aghast to realize that Kay new the truth all along and put her through such agony in spite of it, denying her baby his father’s name. Lance tells Laurie they’ll marry on Valentine’s Day. He laughs that it’s corny but agrees, secretly wishing it were sooner, as Vanessa has vowed to prevent it. Indeed, Vanessa makes an unprecedented venture out of the house to visit Brad, telling him to rebuff any advance Leslie might make to him, as she’s reaching out to him only from a sense of duty. But Laurie then makes a concerted effort to reach Vanessa. Without being sure why she’s trying so hard, she tries to assure the woman she’s not losing Lance and she, Laurie, will help her find a plastic surgeon somewhere who can help her. Grudgingly, Vanessa seems to be reconsidering her view of Laurie, and Laurie is delighted when Lance offers her a choice between two diamond necklaces, explaining that her preference will be Vanessa’s Christmas gift. Learning from Les about Brad’s blindness, Stuart tells Brad he could have turned Leslie away only out of great love. Knowing that Les is going to see Brad again, Laurie warns him not to bring the baby into their discussion, as Leslie will come back only she’s convinced he loves her, not for the babies sake. Leslie finds Brad disheveled and sloppy, and proceeds to straighten the apartment, stating that she can't respect him if he lets himself go. Realizing that neither Brad nor Les will make the first move, Laurie hurries things along by refusing to help Brad with his grooming, saying he should ask his wife. Then, having learned  that Brad offered Les the use of their piano, Laurie untunes the Brooks' piano forcing Leslie to accept his offer. By refusing to cater to his  blindness, Les manages to get Brad to stop wallowing in pity, and by the time Leslie’s Christmas braille message of her love and her need for him arrives, they are husband and wife again Lance takes Laurie on a business trip on New Year's Eve, and tells her, on board his plane, she won't be  won't be able to call him “Mr. All Talk and No action” after tonight. When Laurie protests that waited this long and will continue to wait until married, Lance delights her by instructing his pilot to land in Las Vegas, where they are married immediately.
    • Yeah, not sure why Jack and Jen didn’t rush to Marlena - or even Carrie - to offer their condolences. A few flashbacks would've been a nice touch too. Instead, we got a whole episode of them talking about Chad and Abby? Come on. On the bright side, I loved Anna’s scenes with Marlena and Carrie - sweet and heartfelt, felt like a real 80s throwback.
