Season Five, Episode Nine… “Dress Down And Strip Bare”

by Sandi Duffy

The ladies are back from screwing over the island of Anguilla (still don’t know where it is) and Nene is feeling out Kenya at lunch.  Nene grills Kenya about Walter because Nene is not buying that Walter is really her boyfriend.  Everytime Nene TTCs about it, I crack up.

Anguilla

Next we have a Mensa meeting between Cynthia and Porsha–the two dumbest housewives this side of Teresa “Norwegian” Guidice.  Kandi joins them a little later.  Porsha starts with her whole, eat yams, conceive twins conversation.  Kandi reveals she wants to start a family next year and Porsha offers to be her test dummy.  Oh, the irony!

Kandi reveals that Todd has been asking her ring size.  THEN talk turns to Kenya and Walter and their fake relationship.

Phaedra has Kenya over to talk about her and Apollo’s workout video.  I saw Phaedra in a bathing suit on the beach in Anguilla.  I have no interest in her workout video.  But I don’t mind this scene because I can just stare at the beauty that is Apollo.  When do you think he’ll take his shirt off?

Kenya TTCs that her time is valuable and  she is annoyed that Phaedra isn’t more prepared.  Um, Kenya, Phaedra is the only housewife who tolerates you, you’d better be nice and STOP FLIRTING WITH APOLLO!    Oh no, Apollo and Phaedra start arguing in front of Kenya.  Don’t argue in front of the woman who wants your husband.

There are rumors that Phaedra and Apollo are having marital problems and heading for divorce.  Cynthia says she has heard Apollo hangs out in strip clubs.  It turns out Peter goes quite frequently, too.  According to Cynthia and Peter it is really common in Atlanta for men to go to strip clubs.  I’m not from Atlanta, so I can’t comment on that.

Cynthia and Walter meet for lunch?  Coffee?  Dessert?  I can’t figure out where the hell they are, but we are back to the marriage conversation.  This is the most ridiculous, manufactured storyline.  I am over it.

Kenya pulls the abused woman card.  If Kenya was abused in the past, and that’s a big IF (and it’s really ashame that all these housewives’ claims of abuse are ruining it for real victims of domestic violence), why is she acting like Walter did anything even close to abuse her?  This guy looks like he couldn’t even abuse a spider in his home.  I bet he sweeps it onto a piece of paper and sets it free outside.

Kandi has her home blessed by Phaedra’s Pastor.  That’s a lot less weird than the broad from DC who had her home saged or whatever you call it when you burn sage all over your house.  Phaedra talks marriage with Todd and he’s funny and cute.  I officially like Todd.  Phaedra then complains about Apollo and how he leaves the toilet seat up and doesn’t do the dishes.  Phaedra, that’s every husband.  They also leave their socks all over the place and never put their clothes away.

Porsha and her husband or\\are in the hot tub and Kordell has some nasty scars on his chest.  Is that from his football days?

All the Atlanta men have gotten to be friendly.  They should have The Real Househusbands of Atlanta because those guys seem to honestly like each other and I’d enjoy seeing them hang out.  There used to be a series called “Hollywood Househusbands” or something like that and it was fun to watch.  There was no drama and the men were funny and self-effacing.  I’ve really had it with all the drama on these housewives shows and it would be refreshing watching a show where people get along.  I think it’s why I’ve started watching “Ice Loves Coco”.  You know what?  Ice REALLY does love Coco.

Peter and Cynthia and Apollo and Phaedra go to a strip club and it’s horrifying.   Where does a strip club like this exist?  The women are past their prime and past their fighting weight.  Apollo is trying to explain himself and I am slowly realizing Apollo needs to shut up and just look pretty because he’s a moron.  I’ve been so enamored by his looks for three seasons, I totally missed that he’s stupid.

The ladies are celebrating some ad campaign for some wine that Cynthia is promoting.  The men all start doing tequilla shots and nothing good happens when the shots start.  Peter rushes to greet his man crush Kordell.  Peter’s eyes actually look dreamily at him.  Somehow Kenya got an invitation and I thought Cynthia hated Kenya.

Peter asks Apollo about his time in prison and I’m wondering if he is going to ask Apollo if he ever was prison raped, but he falls short of being THAT inappropriate.  Apollo is talking about how awful it was; like they say Apollo, if you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.  Of course Beretta did the crime and got off scott free.

Walter arrives and blows past his “girlfriend” to hang with the guys.  That’s really funny.  Kenya is pissed and is getting ready to leave.  Porsha approaches Kenya about moving forward and Kenya blows her off.

Talk turns to the divorce rumors regarding Apollo and Phaedra. To prove they are happy, they suck each others heads off.  Apollo reveals that he and Phaedra are like porn stars in the bedroom and I just threw up in my mouth.

About Stoopid Housewives

The Real Housewives franchises have become a guilty pleasure for me and I've become intrigued by 'normal' people who would agree to put their lives on television for public display and scrutiny. What are their motives to divulge their daily routines for viewing audiences to approve, reprimand, berate, castigate, attack; basically abuse and judge? Oh, just forget about the above nonsense... the majority of these people are just stoo-pid.

  1. NEUTRAL says:

    I know it sounds stupid, especially coming from Porsha, but there has been a link between yams & twin births. I saw it on a medical documentary & they had a true/false question…I couldnt believe the answer was true that eating yams “could” increase your chances of having twins. If u google it, u can see all the different sites that say its possible, legit fertility/medical sites. I was floored that Kenya told Porsha she has went over the line blah blah blah…Kendra was the 1 wanting to fist fight! K was just as much, if not more, over the top than P. Sometimes I wonder if Apollo isnt a kept husband. He married a wealthy atty who was preg with his son…Im sure the $ had something to do with it..But Ive always thought A & Phaedra would end up divorced. He wont get anything because she has a pre-nup so if A loves living the high life, he might want to shut his “juvial” mouth. I dont understand why Apollo & Peter frequent strip clubs like they do. I’d be ticked off if they were my husband bt thats me!

    • Ingredientses says:

      Exactly the Yam thing is true! Nigeria has the highest twin rate in the world and scientists believe it’s due to their yam diet. She just doesn’t word things well. Also Cynthia knows she picked that hideous strip joint on purpose so that Peter would be so traumatized he’d never go to one again lmao. And can we PLEASE talk about the creepy foreign photographer Nene had to endure? Ugh. I had a photoshoot once with a guy from Europe and he made me feel so uncomfortable with the crap he would say during my shoot. This just brought back horrible memories lmao.

  2. NEUTRAL says:

    I also cant believe Im saying this: Im actually liking Nene this season, well, after she stopped all the jabs at Kim…I like her cracking off & having fun. I still think she’s full of crap & arrogant but Ive caught myself laughing at her (and Greg). Last episode, Porsha said “Nene, your “husband” is a good cook” & Nene replied “Yea, he loves to cook..He cooks every night…….” I wonder if that was a slip up?? Ik ppl have said their divorce was only 4 the cameras/Nene’s storyline & it seems like even tho, they are legally divorced, they are still together…Ahh, who cares! :)

  3. Treasure says:

    Another great recap, Sandi. I agree with you about Apollo – he is 10 types of fine, but dumb as a box of rocks. The disappointment when he opens his mouth to speak is on David Beckham levels. Just sit back and look pretty. The preview video – Kenya says people mistake her for Beyonce? Um…….. no. Just no.

  4. Parkview says:

    I was a little suprised to see Phaedras pastor bless the home of a couple “shacking up”. I know, he pressed them about marriage, but living together isnt condoned in any Christian denomination Im aware of. My now husband lived in my home for three months before we married. His other home was an hour and a half away from his work so it was really just a practical thing, but I know it wasnt what we should have done. Obviously its very common today, and lots of people are fine with it…but it suprised me to see a pastor willing to go on tv under those circumstances.

    • Hers says:

      Parkview, you took the words right out of my mouth! I was shocked by that. I looked Pastor Pollard up online. It’s a Baptist church, which I know would never condone shacking up.

      • Parkview says:

        Yeah no way. I grew up southern Baptist and that was called “living in sin”. In my last Baptist church, the pastor wouldnt marry any couple who had lived together. And let me say that was not what outsiders would have considered a conservative church. I bet Pastor Pollard gets some flack from this.

    • Ingredientses says:

      Well living together isn’t a sin in itself. It’s the sex before marriage, which unfortunately we all know too well kandi has by “christening” hot tubs then making videos about it. I don’t think the pastor approved but it would look bad if he turned down blessing their home. Especially since there are children in it (Riley and Todd’s daughter)

      • Parkview says:

        Thats why many Baptist churches have these rules in place…so the Pastor doesnt get in the position to have to turn down blessing a home with children in it. Which ironically, rule making is one of the biggest criticisms many of the Baptist denominations have for Catholicism. Come to think of it, Im not really sure that home blessings are something that Baptist churches normally do anyways. In lieu of water Baptism, babies are “dedicated” , families are prayed for, but Ive never heard of blessing a home….may be viewed as “new agey” or “exorcism like”. Personally, my entire childhood was spent at various Baptist, Non denominational, Christian, Bible, Assembly of God churches…my father when he was younger was a Deacon, now an Elder and my mother, a Deaconess. But I would assume a home would be viewed as an “object”, not a person, therefor something that would not be blessed, as it is just a “thing” and of no importance to God. If home blessings are now an accepted Baptist occasion, I would be suprised, and wonder how much these churches have changed since my childhood. Ive gone to an Assemby of God for awhile now.

        • Hers says:

          Parkview, sounds like we have a similar background. I have a feeling some of these churches do things a little differently. For instance, I’ve never heard of Pastor’s wife called a First Lady except in the African-American churches. Kind of makes me cringe for some reason, as if the Pastor’s wife is some sort of royalty, when we’re really supposed to be servants to each other.

          • Parkview says:

            Yeah I saw that too…First Lady, huh? Sounds a bit pageant-ish. That would never happen in any church I went to, even the Southern Baptist ones. Sounds like alot of showboating going on in the Enon Baptist Church. I shouldnt be suprised, look at Phaedras fabulous funerals…which incidentally, I think are pretty cool..we should try to look at death as a celebration. Try. But Im am concerned, about turning what should be worship of God, into a fashion show/pageant/contest/social hour. Thats why Im comfy in my church…come as you are, talk to people if you want to..or dont. It took alot of searching to find a place where I feel like we fit in. I could never attend a church where I feel like the foyer is a step and repeat. Too much like the rest of the world…of which we are supposed to be separate. If I want to show off my new boots, Ill go to the mall.

            • Ingredientses says:

              I think when houses are blessed it’s to bless that it is a safe environment for the people in it so its not REALLY about the house but for the people. I’m not entirely too sure my house was never blessed but my Aunt had hers. I don’t remember what the prayer was though. I agree I’ve wondered a lot of times if people were dressing up for God or each other at church. You can’t tell people don’t approve at wearing “normal” clothes in church by the stares people get when they do. Why should it even matter what someone wears though? It’s irrelevant. Phaedra might want to stop dressing to impress though so she doesn’t have to worry about prayer clothes lmao. And none of the black churches I’ve attended have called the pastors wife the First Lady. Everyone knows she’s the pastors wife but she doesn’t get any more attention than the rest of the people on the pew. She’s just there lol. Maybe it depends where you live.

              • Hers says:

                Oh, that’s interesting. Maybe the first lady is a regional thing? I noticed they are called that on the new Sisterhood show about pastors’ wives in Atlanta and also here at some black churches in the Los Angeles area.

              • lisa the Irish Dragon says:

                In all the churches my dad preached at My mom had certain resonsibilites and had a “higher status” Then regular church Memebers. There was A lot of presuure on us kids to to be perfect. as for Dress codes It was dresses for sunday morning church nice slacks for evening service and wensdays bible study ..never ever jeans or Ho gear to church. If you needed a “PRAYER CLOTH” your dress was to short and not appropriate for church.

              • Hers says:

                I know there’s a lot of pressure on the PKs. We dressed up nicer for church, too, when I was younger. Always dresses. It seems that the dress code as relaxed at lot recently (at least where I live and maybe also in HI, too.)

              • lisa the Irish Dragon says:

                I wouldnt know about going to Church in Hawaii.
                I do know we do tend to dress more casually at work
                Only time I have seen someone in a suit and tie is if my Client was a Lawyer I nearly fell out of my chair the two times it happened.

              • Parkview says:

                For sure the preachers kids had it rough, but as a Deacons kid….those pks made the best accomplices. Whatever kind of nonsense we got involved in, they always came out looking worse than me. Man pks were fun…alot of them didnt turn out so great…but alot of kids dont. And alot of them marry young ..Im guessing because of that whole premarital sex thing…IDK. So alot of divorces there too. Its a hard life to be a preachers kid. There should be a support group.

              • Parkview says:

                Yeah, you will see anything from fancy dresses to yoga pants at my church. Jeans are most common as the Pastor wears jeans to preach often. Older people will wear suits and ties, younger men often wear Steelers jerseys on game day. Also, there is a coffee shop in the lobby so lots of people have coffee and many follow the sermon on their Ipads. There is a kiosk in the lobby so you can give money there by bank card, or the traditional offering plate is passed, or not at all..whatever. This is nothing like what I grew up with, but I dont see anything wrong with it. If being able to be comfortable gets you to go…then thats good enough for me. People are friendly but its a large church, so new faces dont mean an ambush..like I have experienced at some, ok all, of the smaller ones. Ive never been happier at a church because Im not a real social person…and it doesnt feel like a chore to get ready to go.

              • Hers says:

                Sounds a lot like my church, Parkview, except we don’t have the donation kiosk in the lobby quite yet. We do the greeting time after the worship songs, which does stress me a bit, but it’s just a handshake and I find that I’m happier after greeting people.

              • Parkview says:

                I dont doubt that these pageant churches are fairly common. Ive seen them and their patrons…just go to brunch around 1 oclock any given Sunday and you will see the fancy dresses and the bigger than life hats. I spend time on my appearance ina different way..it is hard to draw a line where it becomes obscene. Thats where I think the Pastor and his family sets an example for the rest. If he showboats…thats what you get. First Lady, really? These people are getting too far from the true purpose of attending IMO. And they know it.

              • Hers says:

                You’re right, Parkview. My pastor and his wife set a great example that way.

            • Hers says:

              You should see what some people wear to my church here in Los Angeles, but we’re just happy to have them there. Come just as you are, as the song says.

            • Tallulah says:

              I bet Enon has a “Mother Board” like black churches in Mississippi. The Mother Board has officers, etc. Older churches, especially the black churches are more traditional down here. Women wear their Sunday best-hats included-which is nice. Men wear suits-no sport coats w/slacks-always suits.

              • Hers says:

                Okay, now I have to google Mother Board.

              • Hers says:

                Okay, googled Mother’s Board and this is what I found: “Church mothers mentor other women within the congregation who may be dealing with personal, spiritual or physical problems. Members of the mother’s board may meet with a woman within the congregation to pray with her and offer spiritual advice for overcoming obstacles.”
                Sounds like a great concept. Maybe the Mother’s Board at Phaedra’s church can counsel her to not talk so much about sex, her donkey booty, and putting powdered sugar where the sun don’t shine.

              • Tallulah says:

                Newer churches here have elaborate annual celebrations for First Ladies-choirs, day long services. Members of Mother Boards have the best hats. I screwed up enough obits working at a newspaper and saw how particular people about memberships and titles. The main Baptist Churches in my area are Free Will, Missionary, Primitive and Southern.

  5. pink says:

    Phadra was kinda off in that scene. Throwing Kandi under the bus a tiny bit there and rattling on and on about her marriage – not like her and uncomfortable to watch. Maybe she was in early stage of pregnancy and just not herself.

  6. Bizzymammabee says:

    Apollo is all sorts of fine but he really needs to keep his mouth closed. Definitely talks like a hustler that has no edumication. Kenya had all sorts of nerve talking about being professional when she brings up role playing in the bedroom during a supposed business meeting. I like Phaedra with all her southern charm..she makes me laugh. Her faces are just too much at times.

    • Ingredientses says:

      I laughed when Kenya Bensimon talked about being professional. Did she forget when she was at the Bailey agency or complaining at a charity event? Also yes Kenya, giving clients DVDs of you playing a hooker is definitely showing your managing abilities.

    • Hers says:

      ITA Bizzy, Phaedra makes me laugh. She spouts some good wisdom, too. Just wish she’s lay off the sex talk

      • lisa the Irish Dragon says:

        What You didnt like the uses for sugar other then in baking talk?

        • Hers says:

          Lisa, you just made me retch, seriously.

        • Hers says:

          Can I just say it would be one thing to hear David Beckham, for instance, talk about sex. Now that wouldn’t quite bother me as much for some reason — wink, wink. But, it’s something differently entirely when Centaur Phaedra talks that way.

  7. housewife hoe says:

    That strip bar scene was really disturbing. I had no idea that such “mature” ladies still strip. I cracked up when Phaedra said “I’m proud of these women celebrating their womanly curves and proudly showing their beautiful naked bodies” or something like that. She see’s the silver lining in everything.

    • Bizzymammabee says:

      Phaedra makes me laugh and she definitely tries to see a silver lining. Another site said that club is just a fun club and that most of the women are just every day women that want to get up and have some fun. Good that they have such health self-esteem.

    • Lexv says:

      I am glad she could find the silver lining because that strip club scene was horrific, it was seriously disgusting and I am in shock that these ladies allowed a camera crew to film that, who in their right mind would go to that club ever again? , like Peter said to Cinthia, “if you brought me here to perssuade me never to come back to a strip club, it worked”

      • Bizzymammabee says:

        That strip club scene should have put off a whole lotta folks from going to a strip club. Wonder why they didn’t go to one of the higher end clubs.

        • lifetimemovie says:

          That would have made it better? That scene was sad and degrading to women, but hey, this is Bravo. Imagine having no money and having to do that in middle age (or at all). Pathetic. Furthermore, the Housewives were stupid to participate in a scene like that. They just degraded themselves.

        • Ingredientses says:

          Cynthia chose that specific club on purpose she isn’t fooling anyone. She didn’t want Peter going to clubs anymore so she made sure he would be physically ill even hearing the word strip club next time

          • gapeach says:

            The thing is, the club they went to – The Clermont – really isn’t your normal strip club. I can’t even describe the kind of place it is. It’s actually quite famous and lots of rock stars and musicians frequent the place when they’re in town. Google it to learn more…(Clermont Lounge – Atlanta)

      • LoveVegas says:

        Glad I skipped this episode – sounds like it was as disgusting as the Ridickulous spectacle.

    • Treasure says:

      Apparently there is no expiration date on a stripping career. That chick on Mob Wives Chicago was like 45 and still doing it.

    • dosi says:

      I know i’m disturbed too.That was so gross i had to walk away from the screen.Also that frensh kissing with Apolo and Phedra was gross too imo.Sorry but keep it in the bedroom i find him gross sorry

  8. micabrown says:

    You are just now seeing that Apollo is dumb as a box of rocks?? He has always acted dumb!!!!!!!
    I do not know what Phaedra sees in him. I could never marry a man who was dumb, no matter what he looked like.

    • Lexv says:

      I only hope that Phaedra made Apollo sign a prenup, I am sure she did as she is a lawyer.

      • Bizzymammabee says:

        She looks like a rather smart woman. Hopefully she handled her business. I would have to assume she did look at all the financial downfalls seeing as she was marrying a man that was caught up in a Rico problem previously.

        • missingrealityused2bjoan says:

          I like Phaedra but hopefully she isn’t the type of woman who is smart in career and foolish in love. Hope Apollo plays it right.

          • Goldlion says:

            She admitted on the reunion she has a prenup with no hesitation and said everyone should have one.

            • missingrealityused2bjoan says:

              I’m sure she does…she is smart that way…but don’t it make you wonder what she has in common with Apollo? She is a well educated woman…no knock on Apollo but aside from handsome…I don’t see him in her league..Phaedra could have had a mate who matched her more intellectually etc.

              • Bizzymammabee says:

                Sometimes you make a connection and that is all she wrote. Might just be as simple as that.

    • Bizzymammabee says:

      We knew he wasn’t MENSA material but now that he has speaking time we are seeing just how dumb he is. Kind of immature as well if you ask me. He should be ashamed of himself talking about how he doesn’t want to live within the usual confines that normal, working adults do. Hello if you want to eat and have a roof over your head you sure do have to fall in line. Guess he is reliving his drama of being on a rigid schedule due to his days in the pokey.

      • cadetpink says:

        Being inarticulate is not being dumb. Lest not forget Phaedra’s defending Bobby Brown… “My client be innocent” bit…

    • justso says:

      I believe Fakedra had “business” with him before he went to jail and was his actual attorney. Fakedra makes her own $$ and wears the pants and Apollo knows that, likes the money but will probably, eventually leave her when he finds another women with money. He has something to sell and there are lots of monied women willing to pay for it.

    • Hers says:

      @Micabrown — Ditto! Could never figure out why Phaedra married Apollo, no matter what he looks like. She’s definitely a smart cookie (though weird in some ways). He seems to be close to a zero.

    • cns says:

      AMEN!!!

    • romoshedint says:

      You got that right!

  9. PompanoAnn says:

    OMG, that part where you mention the Mensa meeting; too hilarious! I am so done with Ken-Yuk, real or fake; she can suck the air/oxygen out of room. Who gives a hoot already, she is disgusting; so full of herself and if any young women are watching take note: how to be a nag and run a man off! I like Peter this season, in the past he seemed difficult to like or relate too; but he’s growing on me now. I don’t even know what to say about Apollo, he is very good looking but like the other bloggers write, maybe he should stay quiet! I too llke “Ice Loves Coco” very cute show.

    • Bizzymammabee says:

      I too like Peter this season. There is a fun side to him and he is not acting like an arrogant ass. Might have something to do with her family not being too much in the mix.

      • PompanoAnn says:

        You make a great point; Cythia’s family staying out of the mix; this also brings me to the point of Nene and liking her this season, maybe it’s because she working on her image, or Kim is out of the picture and the ugliness of the two of them fighting and Nene’s side kick from last season is out of the picture as well. I think NY was better this season with out Jill because I think Jill brought so much bad toxins into the mix, so going over to OC, with Tamballs and the Gretch getting along they look better as well without the cat fighting. Over at BH, Brandi seems to be the bad mix and I don’t even know what to say about Jersey, rumors of Tree having a new ali and like I have blogged before they should have scrapped the whole team and start over; but without drama, no money for Bravo.

  10. Savannah says:

    Hollywood Househusbands Reality Show staring Kevin Hart will air on BET in January.

  11. Susie says:

    The fact that Peter told Cynthia he went to strip clubs a few times a month was disturbing.They have been married for 2 yrs and she JUST now found out.I would be pissed if I were her.She thinks she is toopretty/fine for him to look or cheat on her.Stuckup self absorbed women/wives like her do get cheated on.The men want a more down to earth woman to bed down with.When Cynthia was talking to her mom in the park in the ” Im a big dummie ” T-shirt without makeup she was butt ugly.Cynthia has dark circles under her eyes.She is not all that pretty just heavily concealed and made up.Guys sometimes get tired of a woman so into makeup and clothes.All the marriages are in jeopardy of divorce being on T.V.

    The whole season has been about Kenyuk and her fake BF Walter and the baby/proposal.She seems to be the main storyline and scene stealer.Dont get why they/cast let her as a new comer have the same storyline in each scene.Very overplayed.Fake and meaningless story.I hope they/Andy bust her chops at the reunion over her lies.She needs to take a walk on the show.She brings nothing but lies and she is a has been.The only guy to hookup with her will be a one night stand or bootie call,After ses she would be so draining to talk to and spend time with.Everything is about her and her STFU crown.Who cares!!!

    • Bizzymammabee says:

      As secure as Cynthia said she was in her marriage you could see that finding out that Peter was frequenting strip clubs kind of shook her. I do agree with her about wondering why a happily married man would need to be in the strip club every week.

    • cadetpink says:

      1. I seriously doubt that Cynthia didnt know about Peter and strip clubs before marrying him, they were together some time beforehand.
      2. Like Porn, the fantasy element of strip clubs and other boys clubs gives them places to go to escape, be ‘men’ and get some visual stimulation.
      3. Many HAPPY couples will go to these places TOGETHER, to infuse fantasy into their relationship.

      America has gotten so damn puritanical its beyond ridiculous…

  12. HousewivesAddict says:

    Things I learned from this episode:

    1. (may be in the majority) but for the first time all season I kinda liked Kenya. She asked legit but not combative questions of both Phaedra and Walter, and respectfully brushed Porsha off. Admittedly, I thought she looked gorgeous dressed down in the Donkey Booty meeting so that could have blinded me.

    2. People invite other folks over to their house in the middle of the day to eat cake. WTF was that meeting with Porsha, Cynthia and Kandi and how can I have my own? CAKE!

    3. Kandi and Todd are so getting engaged by the end of the season. I’m positive now.

    4. Phaedra and Cynthia are so going to fight at the reunion. Cynthia did it in a playful way and it was clearly just because the producers told her to (and nobody else needed a story line as much as her), but I bet Phaedra is going to be offended that Cynthia was up in her business and judgmental about her marriage. This is miss “it’s none of your business when my baby is due” Parks after all.

    5. The Apollo-Phaedra divorce rumors are bull. Already knew this from recent baby announcement, but I thought they honestly just came off as a standard married couple most of the time last night. Sure, Kenya was right, it was inappropriate that they fought during the meeting, but so many married couples (my parents, who have been married 30+years included) would do that. I think Apollo and Phaedra are just a weird, quirky duo who are in love.

    6. There will be events that Nene will miss due to “New Normal”. We got our first Nene absence from an event because she’s in LA. I bet we have more moving forward. Phaedra v. Kenya better start or Porsha v. Kenya better reignite, because I’m so sick of the Kenya-Walter storyline.

    Excited for Nene’s glam-daughter next week!

      1. I’ve been in the fence with Kenya and her many personalities (realizing most of them are crazy but some are likeable) but after the trip, I think I’ve just landed on pity and sadness with her. I can’t find myself liking or supporting her because I feel she needs not only medication but a reality check. The only side of her that keeps me from liking her is the fact that she thinks people should still know who she is because its “American History” when in reality, what Nene said on the trip about her title was spot on. That was then, what’s now? I wish she spoke more about what she was doing today, but that seems to just be finding a sperm donor.

        (Forgot the rest!)
        2. I agree! I want cake!
        3. I’m surprised it didn’t happen on the trip, but then again I’m not. Todd doesn’t want to be partof the hoopla and probably wanted it to be normal and private, same with their wedding.
        4. Phaedra may be fighting with many people at the reunion because this has been a focused season for her. We Are seeing more of her flaws not only in her marriage but in her business and overall personal life (the infamous voicemail) etc. She doesn’t like this one bit I’m sure.
        5. I believe the rumors are of course exaggerated but like many rumors may have a seedling of truth at the core. They act dis functional all the time unless they are talking about sex. No doubt they love one another. But I know Apollo still yearns for the bachelor life of no commitments and responsibilities especially when it seems that Phaedra was the type of girl convincing him she was one way, then married him and became another. Maybe he has difficulties dealing with “Bravo Phaedra” the southern bell and prefers having fun with the over the top, normal, fun Phaedra we all keep getting minor peeks of.
        6. Agreed. I’m sure she will snag her own spin off but may be like Lisa and still be on housewives. She does plan on keeping Atlanta a home base.

    Phaedra’s body looks much different than it did.

  14. I never thought I would say this, but I am beginning to like Nene. Did I say that, yes, she seems more at ease now and much more fun. Let’s see if I keep this opinion.

    No matter how much Peter tried to say he was grossed out by that strip club the look on his face was more along the lines of fascination. The camera caught him SEVERAL times. Down right fascinated.

    • cleangirl says:

      Ahhh…the good ‘ol Bon Scott…much preferred over Brian Johnson, IMO. Thanks, Made :-) And yes, I thought Peter looked fascinated as well…as was I, I’m ashamed to admit. Bless their hearts, those gals. There before the grace go I, right?

    Kenya is an embarassment to women every where. She reeks of desperation and looks simply pathetic! She is so green with envy to all of the women. What is with her hair? She needs her roots done and a good color job. I won’t even comment about her FACE. I hope Bravo doesn’t bring her back for another season. She is nauseating.

  18. Im loving RHOA this season despite all Kenya’s crazy antics!!

  19. Entree-Manure says:

    I am loving this season of housewives too! Especially Kenya! I think she is strangely hilarious! She make me curious – what makes her tick??
    The last episode at the strip bar had me rolling off the couch! The big ole bellies-crazy dance moves -the arm twirls and the kick (CHA!) OMG!! Hilarious!! Then Apollo’s philosphy of the “sector of the time scale” – tequila shots out of dixie cups… Oh so funny!
    …Porsha’s “cheersing” and “test-dummy” comments and Kenya calling her dumb-dumb – too funny.

    What is that big bump on her right cheek?She was trying to surpress it with a kleenex or something when she was going ON AND ON in the bathroom with Walter about being called out of her name.Walter was dialed out on that subject.Kenyuk just looks nasty and sweaty/oily.She looks like she would smell.Hope she is gone next season.Walter was a fake storyline and he is gone.No reason to keep a has been around.Kenyuk has some skin issues at her ripe old age.Her hair and extentions look like straw.

    No one has mentioned this but It really bothers me that they would expose the viewers to the strip club scene. When did this become the new normal?
