Episode three of Southern Charm, season four has now aired, and some fans are disappointed about the amount of screen time that Kathryn Dennis has gotten so far, and it’s starting to look like a repeat of last season, where the bulk of the cast didn’t film with her. But it’s not just fans of Southern Charm that are wondering what’s up, Kathryn is not pleased either.
Kathryn says she is puzzled as to what she was shown in episode one of Southern Charm walking into take a drug test, and literally, the only words she uttered where “I’m Kathryn Dennis, and I’m here for a drug test.” Then, in episode two, Kathryn is seen dropping by Danni’s house to again, talk about drug tests, and then season three, she is again, stopping into an office, this time to chat about getting back into modeling, only to be asked about whether or not her children want to model.

“The most contact I’ve had so far has been with Craig and Naomie on the phone when they were in the car,” says Kathryn. “I’m not sure why I came back for season four if this is how it’s going to be.”
And it sounds like fans, like Kathryn, are tuning in each week to see if Kathryn will finally be interacting with the rest of the cast, because where is Kathryn seems like a common theme on Twitter.
“I really hope #SouthernCharm has more of @kathryn_dennis this upcoming Monday! Kathryn is what makes the good show, great, in my opinion.”
And many people are saying that they simply watch the show to see Kathryn, and they are not pleased that Bravo is giving them so much Landon.
“I literally only watch #southerncharm to see @kathryn_dennis keeping it real,& Landon being everything that’s wrong with young adults today.”
And what was with all of the Southern Charm previews that showed Kathryn with the rest of the cast, as opposed to the cast talking trash about Kathryn?

An all new episode of Southern Charm airs tonight!
Tonight we will get a taste of the relationship dynamics between Craig Conover and his girlfriend, Naomie Olindo, when they try working together. Craig attempts to be a grown up and lends a hand with Naomie’s fundraiser. The two have very different approaches when it comes to the details and Craig’s fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants ways are on Naomie’s uber-organized last nerve. Will it cause trouble in their relationship?
Thomas Ravenel decides to rekindle his “friendship” with Landon Clements (after some flirting at the bar alongside his bros, of course).
Cameran is excited to find out that Shep and her friend Chelsea “spent some time” together after she introduced them at a dinner on last week’s episode. It’s short lived, however, because new guy Austen is waiting to swoop in on her.
Kathryn Dennis looks into the possibility of getting back into modeling as she continues to take new and positive steps in her life.
The drama kicks off at 9/8 CST, so meet us back here in the comments to dish!

The post Craig Drives Naomie Crazy On Tonight’s Episode of Southern Charm appeared first on Reality Tea.
I will never stop watching Vanderpump Rules, but I do find myself missing the show’s early days. Those first couple of seasons were iconic. From Jax Taylor and Stassi Schroeder’s all-encompassing romantic relationship to single Jax “dating” multiple people at once, there was always something crazy happening in every single episode. I do still love this show, but there are plenty of things that I miss about the beginning of Vanderpump Rules.
I’m all for moving forward, but there are plenty of other things about the beginning of Pump Rules.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE
I will always love Vanderpump Rules no matter what, but these are some of the things I will always love from the beginning of the show.
1. Jax & Stassi’s On-Again-Off-Again Relationship
At this point, it seems like the Jax and Stassi romance was a lifetime ago. Sure, I love Jax with Brittany Cartwright now, but the Jax and Stassi drama was nothing short of iconic.
2. Scheana’s Attempt At A Singing Career As The Brunette Britney
I live for reality star attempts at a music career. Sure, Scheana Marie got a lot of flack for her vocals, but I give her props for singing in front of the Vanderpump Rules audience during the first two seasons. Plus, if I’m being honest “Good as Gold” was actually a fun song.. Judge me, but it’s not that bad. Even her enemy at the time (and possibly now) Stassi admitted that Scheana did good job after she went to her performance solely to make fun of her.
3. Jax Juggling Multiple Women
Again, I’m so #TeamBrittany, but Jax’s revolving door of girlfriends was beyond entertaining. He wasn’t just hooking up with girls, but he was giving them the girlfriend title five minutes after meeting and taking them on group trips.

4. Rooting For Katie Maloney
In the first few seasons of the show, the fandom really wanted Katie Maloney to break out of her role as Stassi’s sidekick. We all wanted her to voice her views, but we just didn’t expect for it to end up like this. From the rage texting to the drunk fighting, we are all missing Katie from the first two seasons. Let’s hope that she can resurrect next season.
5. Stassi’s Birthday
I really miss the days when Stassi controlled everyone in the cast. She was really in her prime when she selected the important people from SUR to take off of work to celebrate her birthday during over-the-top trips. From the constant “It’s my fucking birthday!” yells to the drunken fights, Stassi’s birthday provided the most iconic scenes. Jax ripped off that white chunky sweater in Vegas while the cast was celebrating Stassi’s birthday. Tom Schwartz poured that drink over Katie’s orange hair during a trip for Stassi’s birthday. I can go on and on, but Stassi’s birthday was always legendary for the first few seasons.
6. Inconsequential Nudity
Long before everyone was freaking out about LaLa Kent taking her top off all the time, Stassi led the charge when it came to random nudity. She got everyone to skinny dip during her amazing birthday trips and the cast was always naked for those SUR photo shoots.
7. Eddie Cibrian
Thanks to Scheana’s affair with Brandi Glanville’s ex husband Eddie Cibrian, it made a lot of sense for Vanderpump Rules to be a spin off from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It also gave Stassi a reason to have a vendetta against Scheana- which she would have justified no matter what. Still, she was absolutely relentless with the Eddie Cibrian references during the first season and it was prime entertainment.
8. The Cast Not Wanting To Work At SUR Forever
When the show started out, it was about waitresses and bartenders who had aspirations related to the entertainment industry- and I’m not talking about being reality TV stars. Katie wanted to own a record label. Kristen Doute wanted to be an actress. Tom Sandoval was an aspiring model, actor, and musician. Scheana, Stassi, and Jax modeled. They all wanted to be successful in the arts, but now they are killing it as famous reality stars that I can’t help being jealous of.
9. Lisa Liking Stassi
At the beginning, Lisa Vanderpump and Stassi had such a mentor/mentee relationship. Lisa was there to give Stassi frank advice and I loved their scenes together. Now Lisa wants nothing to do with Stassi and I really miss the old days.
10. Kristen & Katie Looking Alike
There’s always an adjustment period when you start watching a new reality show. It’s hard to keep track of new faces and follow their story lines at first. This was especially true back in the day when both Kristen and Katie had the exact same haircut and color. They were both Stassi’s sidekicks. They were both dating guys named Tom. It was hard to follow at first and it was definitely a much simpler time.
11. The Apartments
I watch reality TV for two main reasons that actually end up contradicting each other: 1. to watch people I can empathize with in relatable situations and 2. to watch people with lives I could never fathom having living in luxury. The Vanderpump crew obviously falls into the former category. I absolutely loved how they just kept it real: shitty apartments and all. Unlike some of the Housewives who rent houses to look rich for the show, the apartments really showed us where the cast was at that point in life and I just loved watching people that I could relate to.
12. Crazy Kristen
I have actually grown to love Kristen, but I do miss her old shit-stirring ways. Sure, I’m happy that she’s found herself and she’s in a stable relationship, but I do miss her working shifts at SUR, investigating Tom on social media, and denying her hookup with Jax.
13. Queen Stassi
I get that Stassi had to go on this redemption tour after she left the show and burned bridges with everyone in the cast, but I have forgiven her for all that. I want her to rise up and claim her throne as the queen of this show. Sorry, Katie. Stassi is the one who made this show.
Tonight is part three of the Vanderpump Rules reunion. And it’s the awkward return of Shay! “The reunion concludes as Lisa explains why she initially refused to officiate Katie and Tom’s wedding. James lashes out at Jax and Kristen for sabotaging his show and Tom and Ariana discuss being blamed for all the problems in Katie’s relationship. Lisa tells Schwartz he blew his chance to go into business with her and Ariana explains why she won’t marry Sandoval. Finally, Scheana shares an emotional moment with her estranged husband, Michael Shay, to discuss the disintegration of their relationship.”
The reunion starts at 8/7 CST, so join us here in the comments to snark the episode!

Which boy is the best boy? Only you can answer that question by continuing to vote in our poll, which will eventually determine the most loved actor on TV. Currently, Outlander's Sam...The Season 9 premiere episode of Real Housewives of New York was pretty boring. Still, I feel like we are in for a good season ahead and the second episode felt like a solid move toward an entertaining direction. From the debut of new cast member Tinsley Mortimer to Ramona Singer getting overly offended by Bethenny Frankel getting new dogs, the episode had some pretty funny moments.
From wearing that full-length leopard catsuit to dealing with Carole Radziwill’s political opinions, Bethenny addressed everything that went down during episode two.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE!
Bethenny talked about the last episode in her Bravo blog. Bethenny predicted, “Now the show will start to heat up.” Let’s hope so.
Bethenny admitted, “Just how no one knew how to react to my cat suit, I didn’t know how to react to Ramona.”
She also revealed something (that I hope is) pretty juicy: “We didn’t speak all summer, and there are very specific reasons for that. Watch what happens.”
Carole seems like a nice person. Obviously, she’s smart, but she has zero story line on this show, so I expect for her to make the 2016 presidential election all about her. Bethenny remarked, “Carole and the election: We are friends. I love her and, like many people we love, we may not see eye to eye. Our communication styles are different.”
Bethenny explained, “I feel this election lacked a healthy open dialogue, and I think that day at my house lacked it as well. People are very heated and passionate. Ramona’s vote counts just the same as mine, yours or Carole’s.” Yes, but I’m not trying to watch Real Housewives of the 2016 Presidential Election. I hope that Carole has an actual story line this time. And please don’t confuse my sentiment with belittling the continued importance of the election. I just am tired of using Carole’s scenes as a good time to get up and grab a snack.
Has Tinsley not watched this show before? What was she expecting from Bethenny? This isn’t the first time, the second time, or even the third time that a new cast member didn’t take to Bethenny. And you know what, Bethenny really doesn’t give a f**k. She is an original cast member. She has a million products to plug. She has hilarious one-liners to deliver. She doesn’t need to be friends with any new woman on this show and even if she does end up getting along with Tinsley, we all know it’s going to take a while. That’s how Bethenny operates.
Bethenny wrote, “Welcome Tinsley. At the mad hatter party, I brought a bottle of Skinnygirl Peach Margarita, said hello, talked to my friends, wore color, and even shoved a sandwich in my mouth. Sorry if my greeting wasn’t up to Southern standards. I like Tinsley, and that is how I am when I meet someone new. I go with a handshake and a hello. I wasn’t quite ready for friendship bracelets or matching tattoos.”
Bethenny admitted, “I know. I know. I’m good at playing the bitch, so I’ll take an unwarranted hit here to keep the folks at home and at Bravo happy.” Keep it coming. I don’t want to be bored watching this season.

So far this Real Housewives of Potomac season has surpassed my expectations. Sure, those expectations were super low after a boring and repetitive first season, but I’m really getting into this one so I was interested to see what Robyn Dixon and Charrisse Jackson-Jordan would say when they stopped by Watch What Happens Live.
As per usual, Andy Cohen was pushing them with the shady questions and for the most part they were happy to spill the tea when it comes to their costars.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE
I have a feeling that Ashley Darby annoyed most of the cast with a lot of the comments she’s made during her on-camera interviews. From shitting on everyone’s marriage, to saying that Gizelle Bryant wants to be Monique Samuels because “she has a supportive husband, her youth and multiple homes,” Ashley has given her costars plenty of ammunition to shade her back and blow up her phone with angry messages.
Obviously Gizelle’s enemy Charrisse said, “I wholeheartedly agree with that statement” after Andy quoted Ashley and her theory that Gizelle wishes she was Monique. And of course Gizelle’s BFF Robyn disagreed and said, “No, not at all.”
As per usual, Andy asked Robyn about her non-relationship with ex husband (and current lover?) Juan Dixon and Robyn gave a non-answer about their status. All she said was it’s “the same” and she added “it works.” Does it though? It just seems to be all sorts of confusing to me. Sure, they seem to be killing the co-parenting thing, but the romantic part just seems to be a lot to handle. But I don’t even know any of these people, so my opinion doesn’t really matter.
Awkwardly enough, Andy was going to do a poll asking the audience if Charrisse has actually forgiven Gizelle and Charrisse cut that short by declaring, “Hell no.” And I don’t blame her. Gizelle went out of the way to trash her.
Both Robyn and Charrisse were asked if Gizelle is “threatened by new girls entering the group” which seems like a pretty obvious “yes” to me. Charrisse said, “I’ll let her friend answer that.” Robyn looked pretty uncomfortable and just said, “Oh, come on. Don’t put me on the spot. I think that she likes to pick on them.” Because she is threatened by them. Or she is just desperate for camera time.
Then I got all sorts of confused when a viewer asked, “Did you ever date a fireman? Otherwise, where did Gizelle get that from?” Charrisse answered, “That’s a great question. Let me just say, someone created an account on Twitter- that’s where she got that crap from- to talk about me. I’m flattered, it’s great. I’m married. Thank you. I’m still married.” Andy said exactly what I was thinking when he interjected, “It seems like Robyn is more married than you are.” Which is kind of sad in all honesty. Charrisse clarified, “We are legally still married. We haven’t filed yet. We will be getting a divorce eventually.”Why haven’t they filed though? They are living in separate states. What is holding them back?
Andy asked, “What did you think of Ashley shading all of your marriages in tonight’s episode?” Robyn responded, “Ashley has no room to talk. She’s twelve.” I agree with the first part. Later, Andy just straight up asked them if they thought Ashley’s marriage would last and Robyn replied, “I hope so. I don’t wish bad on anyone, but it doesn’t look good.” Charrisse gave an equally doubtful response : “I wish her well. That’s all I have to say about that.” So that’s a resounding “no.”
After a whole first season of Karen Huger looking down on everyone and preaching that she was the etiquette expert and queen of Potomac, I am interested to see if she will be eating crow after these claims that she is “downsizing” her home. This isn’t the first Real Housewives show that I’ve watched, and more often than not, “downsizing” is code for financial trouble.
The ladies were asked if they really thought Karen was downsizing or if she just need the cash. Charrisse shadily replied, “Downsizing what?” And Robyn just said, “We don’t know what’s going on in Karen’s head.” It looks like we will get more answers about this as the season unfolds and I am so here for that.

Is SUR turning into divorce court?! During Vanderpump Rules' final reunion episode tonight, Scheana Marie will face Mike Shay for the first time since telling him she wants a divorce...I can’t help having a little jealousy when it comes to the way the Real Housewives live their lives. Nevertheless, the one thing I don’t envy about being a Housewife is those group vacations. Sure, they’re (most likely) all paid for, but it just seems like way too much to handle. So I bet they love when they can go on trips with their family instead of their fellow cast members. I’m sure Melissa Gorga had a lot more fun hanging with her family than she did during the cast trip to Vermont last year.
Then again, I feel like any vacation would be more fun than that hellish trip. Melissa, Joe Gorga, and their well-behaved kids all went to Florida for Melissa’s family reunion. I’m assuming this vacation will make the show since the RHONJ ladies are all about the family time, but just in case it doesn’t- or if you just can’t wait for the next season, Melissa and Joe posted plenty of photos.

Spending Easter in Florida seems like the way to go. It looks like a lot more fun than cooking up a storm and having awkward conversation with distant relatives at the dining room table. Melissa’s family seems super close, but even if it was an awkward family gathering, at least they got to enjoy some drinks and fun in the sun.
Melissa and Joe shared photos of the family enjoying group dinners, playing in the water, and of course- showing off some clothes from Melissa’s clothing store.
Check out all of the family fun in the photo gallery.

Get ready to see a whole lot more of those strange Scavengers in season 8, Walking Dead fans. We may still be six months out from the new season of the zombie thriller, but E! News has...The Real Housewives of Potomac are out of the gate running, already giving us plenty to talk about and laugh about. Tonight we take a little step back from cast drama but just in case you’re worried they are losing steam, the ladies have plenty going on in their own homes to keep us entertained.
We join the self-described diamond in the rough Monique Samuels in one of Monique’s FOUR houses. Did you know she has FOUR houses? If you didn’t, clearly you are just joining us and I’m sure it will come up again at any minute. Yes, Monique is just like any other new housewife, following the same formula they always do: come in lashes blazing, flaunting an assistant, talking about all the houses/money/diamonds you have like it’s no big deal, and then bragging about how great your marriage is as a kicker (I’m looking at you, Alexis Bellino).
Monique is packing her bags and headed south so she can watch her husband be inducted into the Alabama State Sports Hall of Fame, which sounds so specific, you would think it’s made up. But apparently it’s a thing and also a big honor (says Monique). Her friend Gigi is there it help? watch? and after Monique sends her trusty assistant to fetch her luggage, Monique gets to folding laundry, which includes the largest pair of drawers we have ever seen. Gigi laughs at the size, saying they look like a pillow case and Monique asserts that her husband can fill them out.
Anyway, despite having FOUR houses and giant drawers to fold, poor Miss Mo has regular folk problems, like a mother-in-law she doesn’t get along with and has to see for this trip. Monique tells us the relationship started out OK but as her marriage grew and the mother-in-law became less relevant, the relationship between them strained. Pack light, Monique, because you have some emotional baggage to bring along with you!
Speaking of emotional baggage, Charrisse Jackson-Jordan has nothing better to do than convert a study into a champagne room. Yep, you heard right – a room for champagne. Why does Charrisse need a room for her champagne? Because this is the “new” her and she doesn’t have to take care of everyone else anymore, just her champagne bottles. Just to prove she’s serious, Charrisse has taken the liberty of drawing a rough sketch of what her champagne room will look like. Based on the illegible, haphazard squiggles covering the page, I can only imagine how much champagne Charrisse drank while making it. Later, when construction begins, we learn that the budget for the whole thing is $92,000 and that’s nothing to Charrisse because it makes her happy. Who can put a price tag on happiness anyway? And in the spirit of design, Charrisse has purchased from Home Goods a glittery framed poster that reads “Save Water, Drink Champagne” so I guess she can officially deduct $14.99 from the budget.
Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon meet up to get their nails done and Robyn tells her about her plan to get the ladies together for the Preakness horse race. Gizelle is game and even more game when she learns that her new rival Monique won’t be there. Thankfully, Gizelle has buried the hatchet with Charrisse of the Champagne Room, who will be in attendance, but Gizelle has decided upon recent reflection that even though she apologized for calling Charrisse out on her fireman boyfriend, she is only sorry because it reflected poorly on herself. Well, ok then!
But Gizelle (speaking in the third person) wants to make sure Robyn knows that she didn’t appreciate her talking behind her back to the Grande Dame of Potomac, Karen Huber, when Gizelle (third person) wasn’t around. Robyn doesn’t even bat an eye and tells Gizelle to her first person that 1) she didn’t put her on blast like that and 2) Gizelle was really wrong for putting Charrisse’s business out there and she knows Gizelle is classier than that. Me, Myself and Gizelle is caught off guard since she isn’t used to be challenged so strongly but she manages to pick her mouth up off the ground to give some form of affirmation to what Robyn just said.
Karen Huger is welcoming her daughter Rayvin, a gift that Karen gave the world, back home from college. Rayvin (who I just realized likely got the unique spelling of her name because of her dad, Ray) tells her mother all the things she has been up to at college. New and foreign things, like being forced to eat a (GASP!) cheesesteak. Karen covers her mouth in disgust, saying that she at least hopes the cheesesteak was organic. Being from Philadelphia myself, I can assure you, cheese steaks are delicious and the Hubers need to slow their culinary judgment roll considering what their kitchen looks like. The cheesesteaks we eat around here are cooked in far nicer conditions than Karen’s dump of a kitchen.
The ladies arrive at Preakness and it makes Robyn a little sad to reminisce about her old life, the one where she went to the horse race and hobnobbed with the who’s who of Baltimore. I didn’t know Baltimore had a Who’s Who list but I also had no idea that one could devote an entire room to champagne or that men’s underwear came in size grizzly bear so what do I know? Robyn dodges questions about her relationship with Juan because she wants to keep it private while simultaneously being on reality TV. Ashley Darby is anything but private and when Gizelle asks how the baby making is going, the flood gates open. Ashley tells her all about how making crocodile sliders is way harder than it looks and how it’s taking a toll on her marriage and sex life. I guess only one down under can have all the attention and that’s the restaurant. Gizelle wants to know if the ladies can do anything to help, like put Oz on their social media (snort!) or have a “Gizelle Night”. I think it’s going to take more than a random housewife to get people into a place that serves emu as an appetizer but hey, at least Gizelle offered before moving on to talk smack on Monique while she wasn’t there.
As the ladies head to a sunny spot outside to relax before the race, they get all horned up and distracted as “hot jockeys” on horses ride by them. You would think no one gets laid in Potomac with the way they ogle the men at Preakness. They peel their eyes away long enough to place their bets and Gizelle comes away as the big winner of the day. Not surprising since Ashley admitted she didn’t even understand what odds meant when placing her bet. Here’s a crash course in how odds work, Ashley: there are two to one odds on your restaurant closing by the time we get to the reunion.
After the excitement of winning, Gizelle places an even bigger bet on the not getting her head snapped off by Charrisse when she asks her if she is ready to let Gizelle back in her good graces. With a smile tighter than the Spanx holding her in, Charrisse of the Champagne Room demurs, “sure”, which is a cause for celebration indeed. Now I know I’m coming hard for Charrisse but hear me out: it’s not just her uppity attitude that annoys me, it’s the tired story line of reinventing yourself after a divorce that I’m so bored with. Now everything Charrisse does from pouring herself a power smoothie in the morning to getting a damn bikini wax is because she’s a “new person”. I get it, you spent a lot of years invested in someone else but that doesn’t mean that going to the gym today is akin to a spiritual rebirth so can we please take it down a notch?
Back to someone else on track to join Charrisse in the Divorcee/Reinvention of Self Road: Ashley. Since Oz is killing her sex life faster than a dingo can eat your baby, she feels like she has to do something to get it back. She joins her husband Michael to do some indoor sky diving and hopefully have some much needed fun. Afterwards, they sit down and she shares her concerns about where their marriage. Michael admits they are in a bad spot, but neither of them know how to get out of it. Can’t Ashley just click her heels three times if she wants to get out of Oz?
Down in Alabama, Monique and husband Big Drawers go out to lunch with the in laws and extended family so Monique can rap over appetizers and royally piss off her MIL. The dynamic is as cliché as it comes – Monique overcompensates about being herself while her MIL takes every word uttered as a threat to her role as the matriarch of the family. When Monique says she had big babies, Mama says she had bigger ones. When Monique says they are looking for a bigger house, Mama Joyce reincarnate huffs under her breath that she should get some of that good fortune too. It’s awkward to watch and obvious that Monique is needling her MIL in her own passive aggressive way. But Mama won’t back down easily and while Monique may have FOUR houses, Mama wins the day with just four words: “set that heifer straight” is exactly what she did at the table.
Monique leaves Alabama for the friendlier faces of Potomac. Scratch that, it looks like Gizelle is coming for her on next week’s episode so it’s a good thing Monique got some practice sharpening her claws.

The Girls series finale didn't quite nicely tie things up into a tidy little bow for Hannah Horvath (Lena Dunham). The finale, titled "Latching," featured Hannah living upstate,...Part one of the Real Housewives Of Atlanta began with a preclude of the explosive drama at the end … which left me feeling like ‘yada, yada, yada… ‘ about everything else and wishing I could fast forward through the “Many Wigs Of Phaedra Parks” to just get to the crying, sobbing, hysterical meltdowns. In the meantime everybody is “sitting on ready” as they bicker about African princes, Apollo and Kenya Moore, and My Mansion’s better than your mansion…
Haven’t we already talked about all of this? Does time stand still in RHOA land?
Anyway Andy Cohen stuffed our Easter Baskets with golden eggs from rich Africans, construction refuge from Moore Manor and Chateau Sheree, and the easter grass was shredded legal documents. And just to be clear Porsha Williams reunion look is channeling Halle Berry, not Kandi Burruss circa season 2.

Things begin with boobs, and botox, and vaginas… oh my! Apparently there’s been lots of plastic surgery updates, and Andy – intrepid investigative Housewives chronologist that he is – wanted to get to the silicone bottom of it all! He was ick-ily persistent as he grilled the women about their boob jobs, and especially shady about insisting that Kenya has one. Like he could convince Kenya to admit that middle-aged women do not spontaneously gain cup-size and fullness. Maybe Kenya is chanting “I must! I must! I must increase my bust! Are you there God, it’s me Kenya… ” in the closet of Moore Manor?
Phaedra begrudgingly admits she’s had a lift. And Kandi also had one. Porsha got a reverse nose job to make her nose larger, but straighter, and none of the women do botox. Porsha would because she likes the “resting bitch face” results, but it screwed with her day job so she couldn’t pronounce things on DishNation.
Now for the most illuminating thing I learned last night: there are prosthetic camel toes on Amazon! Phaedra was not lying about this, I did my research and yes… it’s a very real thing. They come with attached panties to keep everything straight. Coochie control, y’all! Please do not let these become a new product a Housewife sells on the Bravo Home Shopping Network, but please let Amy Phillips do a spoof of a HW selling them on WWHL.
In other vaginal topics, I’m pretty sure Cynthia Bailey only spoke one time last night and it was to confirm that Peter has not test driven her post-rejuvenated vagina, but he came close in Hawaii. Cause they’re best-friends-with-benefits! Can’t they just get the divorce taken care of first?!
Then it was time to switch to something decidedly less interesting – Moore Manor Vs. Chateau Sheree.
Kenya is adamant that Sheree Whitfield still doesn’t live at Chateau Sheree. Since they are neighbors, the neighborly thing to do is stalk the house and drive by regularly to see if the lights are off – for safety, y’all! This escalates into the argument of “Your Mansion Or Mine…” and really? Does it matter whose basement is finished? Does it matter whose refrigerator has trim? Did Sheree use fake marble? Did Kenya really make her contractors use an outhouse? She does live on the set of Deliverance, so it’s possible. Neither lady even seems to care, until Sheree mentions Rich Africans paying for the Manor.
Sheree is impervious to being accused of not paying her bills; She By SheBroke has been there, done that and flippantly compares herself to Donald Trump because she only pays contractors who SHOULD be paid. As for Kenya’s financials, apparently we should ask a Rich African. We’ve downgraded from “African Prince” to “Rich African” but yes, there are still international men of mystery financing the collective wealth of RHOA. Seriously – where are all these Rich Africans? Cause I’d also like a new car. And a new house. And a boob lift.
Legend has it the down payment for Moore Manor was made by one of these invisible Rich Africans, and Porsha claims Kenya also tried to scam him by pretending her car was broken down, needed money for a new one then planned to use that money to fix up the Manor. Porsha knows this because she has “the African connection” and is a self-proclaimed Nubian Queen. Which explains why she wore a bedazzled Coming To America caftan to the reunion?
Kenya insists it’s not true – we should believe her because everything she says is fact. If she believes this then it is a fact that Kenya is not living in reality.
Neither is Phaedra – at least they have that in common! That and Apollo! Who did them both dirty then absconded to prison. For about 15 seconds Kenya and Phaedra got along for the common good of children in Flint, MI – a cause Kenya was happy to unify for since she is very charitable.
While the ladies support Phaedra’s charities, Kandi thinks everything else “Dr. Martin Luther Phaedra” does is complete BS. She’s all Southern Belle and prayer cloths on camera, then a “freak hoe” with Frick in real-time. Phaedra bristles that she and Kenya don’t “run in the same circles” so there’s no way she would know. Andy interjects that they’re sitting in a semi-circle together right now, and RHOA is a circle they both run in. Albeit a circle no one wants to be on the inside of while the pack of vipers flicks their tongue and tail, and bare their fangs.
If you lay down with vipers, you wake up stung, Ms. Parks! So get off your highfalutin pedestal and start arguing and caterwauling in public! Kenya is correct that Phaedra is super invested in maintaining her glossy public image of kumbaya-attorney when it’s convenient, then yelling “TITTIES” and prancing in thongs when it’s convenient. All her ‘Jesus has the wheel’ nonsense is pulled out of her Birkin on as-needed-basis as well. Basically, Phaedra lacks consistency and follow-thru, and she’s more elusive than a Rich African.
Clearly Phaedra only pretended to move on with Kenya, baby-stepping to summer camp, then strutting in heels back to Atlanta and putting Kenya back on ice. Enter the divorce party fiasco of 2016. Ignoring the fact that Kenya threw a haphazard party for two women who weren’t yet divorced, Phaedra’s anger is because she saw it as another slap in the face from Kenya about her marriage. Kenya argues that she and Phaedra actually fell out over Donkey Booty business, but I think it’s all related, and the divorce party drama was a big ol miscommunication.
Because, after a long winded argument about why it was inappropriate (Kenya flirting with Apollo signified the end of her friendship with Phaedra), Phaedra reveals that she believed Kenya was mocking her with the party, and setting up to be a fool over her divorce. In retrospect I can see why Phaedra would think that, but as Kenya pointed out – why not just ask Kenya and try to work it out?! Why hide behind the BRAT diet of ginger ale and stale toast of a storyline?

Of course Kenya and Phaedra cannot argue like grown women. They are good Housewives, so they must resort to the petty. Kenya calls Phaedra a “freak hoe” and Phaedra mumbles that Kenya is on something called the “Dubai Date Book”? Are they giving away manors too? Clearly I am not doing the right international travels…
Well, Kenya and Phaedra have prayed together for the last time, cause the water under that bridge is enough to cause a Biblical flood.
Since it’s all about Phaedra being a bad friend, we end part one by discussing Porsha’s Anger Management, and how Phaedra was the catalyst for all Porsha’s drama this season – the anger management inquisition which came to being after Phaedra’s comment, led to her fight with Kandi over lesbian-gate, and so-on…
Our Nubian Queen feels unsupported and “mistreated” by her questioning castmates who desperately want her to fail and pop-off to undermine her progress. But she’s still in treatment, although Porsha admits it’s plain-old therapy she’s getting, not just anger management. The women still don’t believe her!
RELATED – Kandi Still Questions If Porsha Gets Therapy!
Like Phaedra’s problem with Kenya is really an unresolved problem with Apollo; Porsha’s anger management argument with Kenya is really an unresolved issue with Phaedra. It is she who’s caught on tape planting the seed that Porsha wanted to reveal her progress to the group, then when they all surrounded Porsha with super-rude questions Phaedra sipped her wine, pinkie raised, and acted as if she had no idea hyenas were allowed to dine in restaurants!
Porsha defends her Frack – she should not! After seeing the episode, they had a heart-t0-heart because they are truly and sincerely friends. Well that’s all nice, I guess…
Personally I think the women were HORRIBLE about Porsha’s treatment – asking her if she’s on medication, etc was wrong. Thankfully Kenya is very much taken to task even by Andy for chasing Porsha down the street. Kenya denies she was “provoking,” but that’s the very definition of provoking. Porsha cheerfully announces that she felt proud of herself when she didn’t react, and instead got in her car and drove away. Progress!
Since Porsha is now a therapist by proxy, she (and other viewer commenters) decide Kenya needs anger management to treat the Krayonce inside of her. DING! DING! DING! Yaaaaasssss – we have a winner! Kenya may not lash out physically, but her verbal attacks are truly low, dirty, cold, and evil – she provokes, provokes, provokes, then cries victim and hides her smirk behind her hair. She whines that all the women provoke her – like calling her a bitch. Therapied-Porsha quickly points out that in just Part 1 of the reunion Kenya actually called Porsha, Sheree, and Phaedra a “bitch” (she was just being light-hearted, you guys!).
I was relieved to see Andy finally catching all the women in their lies – cause it is high time Kenya got taken to task. She has a well-storied history of provocation and victim-playing, and it’s as tiresome as these Whack-A-Mole Africans who pop up in every argument.
Since Andy is now playing Dr. Drew, and the stage is now a Dr. Jeff arena, he reads a viewer question asking if Kandi also needs anger management. Porsha agrees she does.
Kandi still has no idea why if Porsha was upset with her about the “piggybacking” she wouldn’t call and ask, like she did Phaedra.
Porsha didn’t think their friendship warranted a phone call, but she certainly had Kandi on speed-dial when she needed money for her Celebrity Apprentice challenge. Kandi donated $5k out of the goodness of her own reputation heart. However Porsha’s friendship will not be bought… unless it’s by a Rich African!
As an aside: Andy’s reporting also discovers that most of the women have guns, and Porsha and Cynthia plan to get them. Holy safety batman! Shouldn’t Porsha complete anger management first? Hasn’t anyone at ATF watched RHOA – Gone With The Wind Fabulous and Twirl should automatically disqualify you from owning a semiautomatic. What if one of these women lifts up her prom dress to reveal a holster? Well, there’s no props allowed, and they all need that paycheck, so Housewival Homicide should remain firmly in the verbal category.
