The Real Housewives of Atlanta

[DrPhil]

I enjoyed watching Cynthia's gathering. I love her photos. She's a great model.

Where the hell did Peter go? I can understand why he was not so involved with the development of it all. She asked to be the lead and for everything to be based on her. I hope they are not competing with each other.

@ Marlo. I guess she's supposed to be the new "bad girl." Do better than that next time, Bravo.

Sure, I can understand that, but most men always take credit for building their businesses and their empires all by themselves, but still expect their WOMEN to help them behind the scenes. So I feel Cynthia can expect the same from her man as well. I think that's why she kept reminding him, "We're a TEAM!" Men get very insecure when a woman becomes powerful, and Peter displayed that when he disappeared during such an important event.

LMAO!! Yeah, I agree ... and as socially balanced as Kandi has always seemed to be, I was really surprised that she tried to pull that with Marlo. Come on, ... anyone would know not to ask a question like that over-the-air. Sorry, Kandi ... I didn't fall for it that time.

No, a woman who does work behind the scenes is a woman who gets credit for helping to build. That's how real men do it, my significant other included.

Based on what we get to see on camera:
Cynthia and Peter should have communicated the expectations. Lack of communication is the problem. I do not assume that Peter is insecure over her success or not supportive. This stuff is not common sense. Different people expect different things which is why couples talk to each other. If Cynthia says "you can chill out...I'm going to do this by myself," Peter needs to interpret that exactly how she said it. It was not until the end that she reached out for Peter's assistance. It can be annoying when someone wants you to leave them alone until they want to be bothered with you. I think Cynthia is the one competing since she is the one who brought up the fact that both she and Peter have started businesses and may be competing with each other. She is the one who brought that up.

Kandi should have just asked "you are quite the ATL socialite, what do you do for a living?" I think Marlo is a loser.

I agree. Her whole come-back to Kandi was, "I heard you're a 'Big Mama' where you take care of guys ..." Um, ... WHAT?! I'm so glad Kandi didn't even waste her time acknowledging the comment. That was the most desperate grasp for a straw I'd ever seen, ... and a pretty pathetic one to say the least.

I don't think I've ever watched this shoow but being stuck in a hospital bed for a couple of hours and flipping the tv channels, I figured I should watch it.

I did...for about 5 minutes.

It was an older episode where Kim was still pregnant and at a restuarant with Korey (is that how you spel it).

I kept thinking, boy, she needs to lay off the Botoxed lips! And dress better.

Oh well, they are definiately not the Atlanta housewives I know in real life.

Next time, I'll just keep flippin!

I am so bored with this show that I no longer record it when I'm not home. There is nothing really that exciting about it.
-Cynthia is a bore, but she will have a story line next year when I'm sure she will file for divorce from Peter.
-Sheree has no real story line,
-If I hear "Celebrity Apprentice" one more time, I'm going to scream (Nene, move on),
-Phaedra's only story line is the Diva Funeral Home.
-Candy branching into country music is really clawing for a story line.
-and we will see Kim and Kroy in their own show.

Ah yes, and mugshot Marlo. Will she be a housewife next season?

I am inclined to have to agree with you here, although I think Kandi is actually pretty legitimate. Whether the cameras were on her or not, I think she'd write songs for whoever loves her work. But the sex toy line? Come on ... This is the kind of stuff that bothers me about Atlanta Housewives. Why is sex such an open topic of discussion with them? You don't see that kind of stuff on Beverly Hills, New York or Orange County Housewives. (New Jersey, however ... )

I think Charles Grant was right when he said "Atlanta is a pretend city". I think Sheree is such a pretty lady, and should probably consider modeling. But I can't help thinking about all the changes she's making (i.e., her new "chateau" and her new car) which indicates that there is either some sugar 'daddy' around, or she has put her mother's name on, not only the chateau, but on EVERYTHING. What happened to her fashion line? I thought she was trying to get into acting at one point. Right now, she just seems to be trying to get in anywhere she can fit in.

And Nene seems to have REALLY changed alot. Her persona on Watch What Happens LIVE told me that she is in a very good place right now. She didn't even clown when audiences voted that she and Kim should make up and be friends again. She simply said, "I understand ..."

The rest of them, I can take 'em or leave 'em. I don't even wanna TALK about Phaedra. My cousin is an attorney in Florida, and feels that Phaedra is an embarrassment to all attorneys. I believe it.

O ... M ... G!!! I don't believe these women!! I never would've thought Atlanta Housewives could get much worst. I am so embarrassed for all parties involved tonight. Even Nene was shocked. Sheree and Nene were cordial enough just for Nene to try to be a peacemaker. But I am sooooooo disappointed in Cynthia's behavior, because this was all her fault. She NEVER should've taken the info back to Nene and Marlo that way. That was MESSY!

I've never been to Africa, so it was really nice to see how beautiful Cape Town, South Africa is. Shame these silly women were about to ruin it for everyone. Marlo and the whole "etiquette" thing is overdone with seven mugshots. The way she gave the "concierge" the 3rd degree insisting to know "which housekeepers are working, ... the names, too, ... if they leave early or sick, contact me ... I'll give you my cell number." SERIOUSLY?!?! You're probably doing TOO much, Marlo.

And, as for Kim and her lovely new life, I got so tickled at how she kept squinting at her father's antics. I'm so happy for Kim and where she is right now in her life. She looked great on Watch What Happens with Andy Cohen tonight, and seems so in love with Kroy. But I also noticed how much MORE she seems to be complaining about Sweetie, and how she should "step it up". I also haven't forgotten about Kroy's comments, too, from a few episodes back, in which he felt that Sweetie needed to be organized herself in order to help someone else. I have a feeling Sweetie might be looking for another job soon.

And, I can't help wondering why people keep calling Sheree "ugly". They can only mean the choices she makes, perhaps, because I think Sheree is absolutely gorgeous. (NO HOMO ... ) Apparently, they know she's gorgeous, too, because that's the first area they try to attack. It's not working, thank God, because Sheree knows she looks good. She needs to stop getting down to these women's level trying to argue with them, though. It's beneath her, just as it would be with anyone else. Just walk away, Sheree. It suits you better. LOL!

[LikeASista]

Once again, I'm the only one watching this show ...

Oh, well, for the record: Sheree keeps mentioning that Marlo has a criminal past. Um, ... has she forgotten that she, too, has a criminal history? What was it? Embezzlement, ... money laundering, ... etc.?

Ahhhhh, those with glass houses ...

[DrPhil]

I agree, Benzgirl, except Candy is Kandi.

It's funny because when we see these women living semi-normal lives, it is boring. There is no reason to watch a show about people living normal lives. There needs to be something that draws us. I do not want the constant arguing and fighting. I just want something more than this.

I'm not sure I agree completely. For example, on Beverly Hills, Camille and Adrienne have had no real story line this year and they aren't fighting with anyone, but we still like them.

Personally, I think some of the shows have jumped the shark but they continue to air.

Cynthia knew what she was doing when she went and said that to NeNe and Marlo. But I dont understand why Marlo is so mad. They dont really know you, didn't know you were coming on the trip and your NeNe's friend and her and Sheree don't get along. Also who is Marlo to try to be the peace maker on he boat?? She dont know what's going on.

Rumors are flying that Shereé has been fired from RHOA
