The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Ya know, after watching Watch What Happens LIVE, I think Apollo is so utterly uninteresting. His speaking voice leaves a lot to be desired, and he is not nearly as attractive as I thought he was. Also, I don't believe for a second that he "grew up in a White household" (not that it would matter much anyway).

Honestly, although I should never pass judgement on a couple and how they are perceived, still, the more I watched Phaedra and Apollo's display on the show with Andy, I'm convinced that Apollo is simply a "kept" man. The constant kissing up he does to Phaedra seems to prove my theory. I could be wrong, but that's what I see. That story he gave about when he first saw Phaedra in a car next to him, ... running her down on a snowy highway, blah, blah, blah ... it just sounded like a story the two of them cooked up to down play the whole "lawyer marrying a convict whom she represented" story.

A man's facial hair can make all the difference. It's like how some very gorgeous women can look not so gorgeous depending on how they fix themselves up. His shadow beard game was horrendous and he needs to go back to the clean cut look. The way they trimmed the beard around his lips made him look like he had a funny mouth. I still find him very handsome but without the shadow beard and funny mouth facial hair look.

Why don't you think he was raised in a white household? He's biracial and I assume his mother was white. Did he not pass some white household test or something? I do think it's dumb that Phaedra has him agreeing about the kind of food he isn't accustomed to eating because he grew up in a white household. Um...perhaps he has a love for what are considered low cost foods because he was raised in a low income white household. But, Phaedra is pretending as though the majority of Black households (across social class) eat good, healthy, and relatively costly foods. Phaedra is an idiot--I like her more when she talks less.

I kind of didn't believe the story of how they met. It isn't an impossible story. It's just that they seem to have a "story" for everything. They had a "story" for how many months pregnant she is and now they have a "story" for how they met. Andy was speechless for much of the show. LOL. I also don't believe their "story" for what Apollo does for a living. His response of "wow" when someone asked him made me laugh. Perhaps he wasn't expecting the question and doesn't want to talk about his career. But, I think it's likely that he's not as gainfully employed in a higher-end job as they would like to pretend. He's probably struggling for employment as most "ex-cons" are; and any substantial employment is coming from Phaedra giving him a job. Or, she's keeping him as LikeASista thinks she is---I can see him as a stay-at-home Father and there's nothing wrong with that as long as they don't lie about it.

This is what I think he is, and Phaedra is just too "Southern and classy and traditional" to admit that her husband *gasp* doesn't work.

I was sooooooooooooooooooo NOT prepared to see Hill Harper's fine self make a cameo on this week's episode! Hubba, Hubba, HUBBA!!! And I absolutely LOVED that scene! Cynthia and Peter finally just laid it out on the table. She was NOT afraid to speak her mind. That's my GIRL!!

So, Kim really is a certified nurse, eh ... who woulda thunk it ...

Any takers?

Now, I've given Nene the benefit of the doubt all season, because she has shown her strength regarding her marriage, her family and her career. But Nene is the kind of person I don't even like having around me, because she exemplifies such two-facededness when it comes to Kim. She'll be the first one to say Dwight and Phaedra are "messy", but she couldn't WAIT to start up with Kim. Look, we all know Kim can't sing, ... that's a given. But if Kandi felt enough of Kim to bring her on tour, who is Nene to look for any reason she can come up with to down her? She is coming off sooooooooo jealous. I haven't forgotten how she tried to rip Kandi apart at first, too, but now that's suddenly a non-issue. I have low tolerance for someone like Nene in my life. And I was soooooooooooooo embarassed that she talked all that stuff about "hangin' with trash" in front of Iman on Watch What Happens LIVE ...
