The Real Housewives of Atlanta



I don’t know what it is about this show, but I have to admit that it’s one of my guilty pleasures. I don’t know if it’s because it’s produced in my city, or if it’s because it’s centered on black women, but I love it. Mr. M refuses to watch it with me because he feels like he'll be losing brain cells. I’ve been a fan since Season 1, and I continue to be, even though the 4th season premiere episode had me thinking ‘what the hell’, and for the first time I too felt like I had lost a couple brain cells after watching it.

However, here’s my synopsis on the ‘housewives’:

Kandi: I think it’s great that you continue to do well even after Xscape. I think you’re a great mother to Riley and I think you and your Mom have a great relationship. But please don’t forget that she is still your mother, so there are boundaries. Know when to leave Mom at home. The porn industry is a multi-million dollar industry, so I think you’ll have much success with your sex toy line. Keep doing you, and continue to ‘try’ to see the good in others.

Kim: Thank God for Kroy! You needed some structure in your life. I’m glad you finally came to the realization that a relationship with a married man has no future. I’m glad your girls finally have a positive role model in their lives. Oh, and please get your wig together. I know you’re pregnant, but that doesn’t mean that you can't keep it together.

Nene:  You have confirmed for me that money and fame does change a person. You were my favorite for the past 3 Seasons, but I’ve been finding myself rolling my eyes one too many times when you’re in a scene. You are very rich! Yeah, ok. Thank God for Celebrity Apprentice. Try taking a piece of the humble pie before God takes your blessings away. I know people mature and people grow, but please don’t forget your past and where you’ve been. You weren’t always in this place, so quit turning up your nose at folks. There’s an old saying in Jamaica, ‘the humblest calf sucks the most milk’.

Phaedra: Or as they say, Phaedra ‘Highclass’ Parks. That alias is not very fitting in my opinion. Phaedra ‘Extra’ Parks is more like it. Now let me be positive for a minute, when you are in your element, I am actually a bit convinced that you’re a great lawyer. Outside of that, oh lawd! Can we say over-the-top! Just too much Phaedra! I don’t even want to revisit that circus of a baby shower you had, still *shaking my head* And please stop talking about folks and their ‘donkey booty’, and stop showing yours off. I’m sure Apollo won’t be too happy about that when he watches these episodes. And stop using the South to justify your ridiculousness. I've been here long enough to claim it, so I'm a bit offended by some of your comments.

Sheree: I must say, you've kinda grown on me. I wasn't a fan at all in the first two seasons, but I loved you last season. This season you and Nene are feuding and I'm seeing a bit of that ugly side again. You seem very bothered by the fact that you and Nene are no longer friends, and your way of trying to mask that is to do the high school thing with Phaedra, grow up! But, you're still much better than you were in the past, so I'll take it. On a more serious note, your ex-husband is a douche! Why are you still protecting this fool who won't own up to his responsibilities? I think this is the first time that we've seen you vulnerable. Take that man to court and make him pay child support, no questions.

Cynthia: I like you. You're calm and you seem like a very good friend. I was laughing at you when you had Nene sign that 'friendship contract' though. Really? But I like that you love and support your husband and love your family just as much. But please, you are 44, your family does not need to know the financial happenings in your life and they shouldn't have a vote on it. I understand that they love you and they want the best for you, but you are too grown to have them tell you what to do and what not to do with your money. Make your own decisions. Your husband may not have it all, but he's hustling, and you have to respect him for that. Oh, public speaking, not really your thing, sorry :( You're a good model though :)

This season promises to be very entertaining. I can't wait to watch again next Sunday.
