Bravo's The Real Housewives of....

[Cat]

As soon as Mia said she had moved to ATL and was 'bowing out' of RHOP, I feared she'd be making heart-eyes at the RHOA producers.

Greg wasnt her husband. He was her bf and she wanted a ring but he didnt propose so she dumped him. Honesly I feel he was holding her back but with him out the picture, we may get to see a different side to K. She's out in these streets and teased a single K for season 10 thats back in her boss mode. I want to see it

[alwaysAMC]

Ohh you're right, just a boyfriend.  I didn't realize they broke up!  That would hopefully make for a more engaged and present K next season.

@NothinButAttitude I am not comparing their personality per se; more so the fan reaction. While you all found Kenya entertaining from the start; many people didn't. Kenya came in doing a lot and the majority of the audience wasn't feeling her.

Atlanta needed someone who was outrageous at that time though.

I despised Kenya for pretty much her entire run.

I think Kenya is not getting due diligence, but I don't like her as a housewife.

She is definitively not a girl's girl. She's awkward about sex, she exploits other women's weaknesses, and she's never demonstrated loyalty. 

I think she's interesting.  I think she'd do better in an era when reality TV would focus on a single person and their surroundings.  But, she's never been in a friendship (or any type of non-hostile relationship) with another cast member worth exploring. 

And this whole fight seems to actually be about BTS issues like casting and screen time, as opposed to what we actually saw on screen.  Because the reactions never seemed organic to the situation.  So, there are other variables at play, that if they are unable to discuss on camera, then I wish they would have edited the entire thing out.

To be fair...judging from the scene in the trailer...they did. That's why I was pointed in mentioning that the scene appeared to be cut if they are moving past Kenya. I even think they pulled a S5 RHOP Cha Cha at Wendy's event on Kenya because I want to say the scene did appear last week with the same outfits but no Kenya in sight though she was there. Which might explain why that episode last week was so disjointed.

Kenya would have thrived in the original concept of the Housewife franchise when it was more about their day to day life vs contrived gatherings and beefs with the other women.

RHOA

 

Them Detroit girls...LOL!!!

 

I thought it was a good episode when it WASN'T focused on Porsha. With Kenya out the door, it's up to Porsha to be that vet that carries the show. And it is just flopping. No wonder Production and Bravo had to go ahead and release a new Shady Phae Phae midseason promo. And her inviting other girls (including FOH Monyetta) to audition on the Nashville trip was so telling. She can't carry.

 

But who is ACTUALLY carrying? Drew and Angela. Drew continued to show the divorce mess with Ralph, and she's selling it. Though it helps that Tampa Ralph is a total prick. And then you have Angela stirring that pot like she's a rich Sheree. She ain't backing down to NOBODY as she brought Drew on the trip, didn't let Brit use her as Target Number 2, and handled that attempt gang-up at the end like she been on this show forever. YES, PLEASE.

 

As for Nashville...my feelings are going to be bias since my first serious relationship was with my Russian ex who was living there and going to Vanderbilt. So I love the city even after the break-up. And that it is the setting for Porsha's birthday is just mixed feelings for me. Because she's not as important as she thinks she is. Though I liked what she worn. And I liked a lot of the fun shade surrounding the trip so far like Angela being late, the bull scenes, and just turning up. And then Porsha took the fun to Hades by jumping on one of her friends who is auditioning trying to start a rumor about Drew. Too soon after the Kenya/Brit drama I might add. 

 

PORSHA. Honestly? I was excited to see her with Kenya. Such a full circle moment. What I'm not excited about is Porsha being like how she was before she left. And that is how she is acting. From her claiming to not have a problem with Drew when she is doing all she can to have a problem with Drew to doing a Regina George on Angela, she is not doing me any favor to like her or be on her side. It is just falling flat. And to newbies? smh. At least her fashion has been good.

 

DREW. Putting in the work. I know that I mentioned that I finished last season right before this season started airing. So I am wanting to see where her divorce storyline will go. And even through her delusional behavior at times, I felt she gave some truth. Back then. And even now. The court scenes were something else. I could sympathize with her wanting to keep the files sealed because people can and will read them with the quickness and her worries about how her kids will be affected. Tampa Ralph was trash...dancing with glee that his broke butt would still be in the basement, but not showing any worry for his own kids. I couldn't with him and her going off was also relatable. But she ain't a saint, either, cuz her and Allison (who I'm always happy to see in the tradition of Cynthia and Mallory) going to Dennis's lounge of all places = MESSS!!! Also mess? Was her taking Brit to that dinner and being a little baby Kenya by asking the questions we wanted to know...especially since Brit only brought her to get her on HER side against Angela. And her 'did you sell it? sell it? your cat.' took me out. I'm so invested, I cannot wait for her to react to the rumor being spoken on her next week.

 

SHAMEA. Her and those boots!!! lol. Otherwise, she was just good for reactions this time around. And even that...I have been liking Shamea so far this season and don't want her going back to being Porsha's Minion # 1 to Kelli's Porsha's Minion # 2.

 

KELLI. Love the new Confessional. Hollered at her fun shade at Angela missing the flight. And I enjoyed her and her daughter scenes. But she was kinda background to me this episode.

 

BRIT.

Ugh. First of all, if we don't stop making her the start of each episode. I said it Sunday, and I'll say it now...Production...STOP TRYING TO MAKE FETCH HAPPEN. Not only is her story consistently changing, but her actions are consistent with the way she is trying NOT to look. The lack of self-awareness. Second of all, say what you want about Angela, but at last Angela brought up her questions and thoughts to Brit's face. There was no reason for Brit to start a rumor about Charles in her Confessional. Finally, I don't like that just like with Kenya, girl is trying her best to start drama. This time with Angela. Who had no problem EITHER giving her a hug and hello. And Angela was so unbothered, checked Brit, and kept it moving on when she arrived. Brit...faded into the background for the rest of the episode. 

 

ANGELA.

OMG! Yes, Angela, yes you are. She moved up the ranks of newbies for me. She stirred that pot like a pro. She got Drew invited onto the trip. She admitted that she invited Drew in front of EVERYONE. She paid Brit dust for last week. She refused to bow down to Porsha. And kept it all classy AND with a sense of humor. And her last Confessional aka 12 size shoes was EVERYTHING. And best of all, she ain't wrong. Clearly, Porsha wanted an audience. Angela simply gave her a show of air. I LIVE.

 

Let's see if I like next week then...

 

She should have never turned against Karen.

 

But seriously once she fell out with Gizelle and Gizelle started to play chess with her, it was going to be curtains. Oh, well.

 

Same.

 

I felt she was not given a fair shake so late in the season so I'm all for her coming back. Most (not all) housewives deserve a second season usually to get a true feel for them. Though since her drama was the fact that man clearly did not want to film, I do wonder what we will get.

Kenya breathed life into Atlanta... the show was becoming too repetitive and Nene vs Kim (the most iconic conflict) was on it's last legs. Then she came in... and rocked the entire circus. Her natural antagonistic tendencies were pure TV-GOLD. Nene (the driving force of the show till that moment) felt veeery threatened and disturbed by a new powerful girl. She did everything she could to destroy and isolate Kenya.  

Yes... Kenya lost steam with time... and became repetitive herself. But... she is still Kenya freaking Moore... and she gave us sooo much entertainment... it's almost unmatched.

Do I agree with what she did with Brit - Hell No... But that doesn't mean I want her shunned and banned forever. At this point... give her 2 episodes where she goes to a church or a mental health institution to "work on her inner self" and then give her another chance.

The producers thrive on toxicity and vile content... they pit these women against each other... and they want to see emotional gore. AND THEY ACT SHOCKED WHEN THIS HAPPENS? You all (producers) have a hand in this, bitches. In this situation as a whole, not only the Brit stuff. You live off of these people losing their sh-t.
