RHOA S5 E6: Phaedra Shuts Kenya Down...QUICK

Now that Kim Zolsiac is officially done with Real Housewives of Atlanta, the rest of the girls were able to leave the drama in the ATL and take a romantic couples trip to Anguilla that Peter has set up. Since Kim and Kroy won't be attending, that left the door open for Kenya Moore (who invited herself) and Walter to join them as well as Porsha Stewart and her husband Kordell. 

First, Kandi Burruss discussed the trip and her relationship with her mother, Joyce. She says that she actually likes Todd, which surprised Kandi because Joyce doesn't always like the men she likes. Then, Cynthia Bailey went to dinner with her husband Peter and were joined by Porsha. She invites them to come on the trip to Anguilla.

Time to go to Anguilla: They all met up at the airport where Kandi was surprised by Todd who she thought could not come. After the plane ride, they got on a boat to get to the island and Kenya decided to drive the boat. Yes, it seemed fun but it didn't help my assumption that she's crazy. She did throw a shot at the other women, yelling "Hold onto your weaves" because she's the only one with her natural hair.

When they arrive, Kenya gets mad that she is put in a smaller room, but she should be grateful that she is even there since NO ONE invited her. She also started pressuring Walter about proposing while in Anguilla, mentioning that there was a diamond store nearby.

Phaedra and Apollo have a funny conversations about the cleanliness of hot tubs, Cynthia and Peter discuss romance on this their second honeymoon, and Nene and Gregg show a rekindling relationship. Later, all the couples meet up by the pool but most of them just want to chill for the night. Apollo comes out with his swimsuit on and Kenya pushes him in the pool. She was CLEARLY flirting with him as he picked her up and jumped in the pool with her in his arms. She better watch out...Phaedra's a "southern belle" but she might CUT her!

The next day, Phaedra pulls out the thong swimsuit that was perfectly situated onto her "donkey booty". She was showing Kenya that there was NO competition or worries of losing Apollo. The couples explore the island and Kandi has an interesting conversation over dinner with Todd about what alcohol does to her where they enjoy a drink called "F--- Me Sideways".

Later, they have a fun night that included dancing from an Anguilla dance group and they decide to join in. Kenya continues to flirt with every man in sight because she's "trying to get a rise out of Walter" but if he is REALLY your man, then you don't have to make him jealous. Then she asks a completely OUT-OF-LINE question about who she would allow to have sex with Apollo for a birthday present. Phaedra FINALLY tells her to back up, saying "Go on with that bull----". I'm happy that Phaedra spoke up because that was TOO FAR.

Here's a clip from next week's episode when someone gets married (or remarried or renews vows) and things get testy again between Porsha and Kenya:

RHOA S5 E5: Kim Lies...Then Leaves

The DRAMA was on FULL BLAST on the 5th episode of season 5 of Real Housewives of Atlanta and it led to Kim's abrupt departure from the lunch and maybe even the show...

We find Phaedra Parks and her husband Apollo on a double date with Kenya Moore and her boyfriend Walter. Kenya immediately starts flirting with Apollo, talking about his "bulging muscles" which Phaedra finds unacceptable (I would TOO...I don't want ANY woman flirting with MY man). They then talk business about Kenya possibly producing their "donkey booty" workout tape.

Next, Nene Leakes and husband-or-ex-husband Gregg meet over Cynthia Bailey's house to discuss a couple's trip to Anguilla. Peter discusses his plan to have he and Cynthia to renew their vows on the beach. After the fiasco with her mom and sister hiding the marriage certificate, it would be great for them to make a new and happy memory together. 

Porsha Stewart visits a fertility clinic with her husband Kordell, and we find out that she had a miscarriage six months ago. It was great to get to know her on personal level and see a vulnerable side to her. She REALLY wants to have twins and they have a funny conversation about how to do it (eating yams, family history, etc.) Fortunately, they will be able to try again for a family in a month. 

Kandi Burruss has lunch with Cynthia and they talk about the Anguilla trip. Kandi says thay Todd may not want to come because the group is DRAMA (but that DRAMA paid your bills when you worked on the show SMH). They also discuss Nene and Kandi thinks she has motives behind her friendships. I think that Kandi keeps stuff going to stay relevant on the show because her career is now based off of it. 

Nene and Cynthia meet Porsha at her late uncle's home to discuss working for her foundation. They  also discuss Kenya's behavior at their events. Somewhere else in Atlanta, Kandi and Phaedra shop and talk about kegal balls...and Kandi says to invite Kenya to the lunch, KNOWING that her and Cynthia fell out (keeping stuff going again).

Then the ISH hit the fan at the lunch to discuss the Anguilla trip. Phaedra brings flowers and makes amends with Cynthia about what she said on the butt-dial message. Everything seems peaceful until a very-pregnant Kim arrives. First, she says she can come, then turns around and says she can't because her doctor said, then she said that her and Kroy were going on a trip the same week. She brings up a plethora of excuses, like "you can't travel at 28 weeks pregnant" and "Kroy is at camp", which may all be true but she should have just said "I don't wanna go with y'all". 

The ladies bring up their busy schedules and how they made plans to accomodate her. Phaedra brings up the point that she doesn't have time for her girlfriends Kim bluntly says "I really don't". They quickly realize that Kim does not care anymore. When Kim gets caught in the lies, she abruptly says "I'm done with this whole thing", leaves and doesn't want the cameras to follow her. 

Next episode, the ladies go to Anguilla and Phaedra might have to put Kenya in check about flirting with Apollo. Check out the preview:

Season 4 of Real Housewives of Atlanta Premieres

Last night, the 4th season of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" premiered on Bravo and these women are at it again...with new projects, new babies (on the way) and of course, new DRAMA!!!!!

Last season saw Cynthia get married, Nene file for divorce, Sheree pursue an "acting" career (and I use those words LOOSELY), Kim find a new man who can go out in public with her, Phaedra welcome her 1st son, and Kandi balance career & motherhood.

Now this season kicked off with Kim Zolciak moving stuff from her storage unit into her dream house with boyfriend Kroy.  In addition to her live-in assistant Sweetie and her two daughters, they are expecting a baby so they probably DO need some extra space.

We join my FAV housewive (who may not be a wife for much longer after filing for divorce from Greg) NeNe Leakes at a car dealership where she is buying son Bryson a car so he can help her out by running errands. He's still living with her but she will just put him to work running errands. She's enjoying success from her appearance on "Celebrity Apprentice" and other business ventures and writes the check for the car on the spot.

Sheree Whitfield visits her friend Lawrence in the studio where he's working on new music. She talks to him about some drama she's having with NeNe based on an event with a promoter. She claims that they were supposedly hosting a party together and NeNe tried to backdoor her & take money from it. Why is Sheree SO upset about a little hosting gig? Hmmmm...interesting!!!

Newlywed Cynthia Bailey-Thomas started a modeling agency in ATL & enlisted diva runway coach Miss Jay (Oh how I've MISSED him) to teach a class to some prospects. She gives the BEST quote about modeling:

I want to teach them that being a model isn't the same as auditioning for a rap video. 

AMEN Cynthia!!!!! A few notes about the other housewives:

• Phaedra Parks wants to start a funeral home after setting up a funeral for her great aunt
• Kandi Burress is starting a “adult” sex toy line...by the way, her hair looks GOOD! That brown straight mid-length look works for her

·      Meanwhile, NeNe & Sheree meet to have a “grown lady conversation” but end up arguing and insulting each other (of course). I DO think Sheree is a little jealous of NeNe because she's doing things outside the show and Sheree can't get her acting career off the ground.  She brings up the stereotype of black women not supporting one another but she should take her OWN advice. 

     After the meeting, Cynthia consoles Nene because she’s upset that Sheree believed the promoter who she knew for a short time over her who she's known for years. Cynthia gives good point about real friends and keeping a good attitude. NeNe ends the show with another GREAT quote: 

“(If you cross me) I’m not gonna stab you in the back…I’m gonna stab you in the chest”

Season 4 is off to an EXCITING start and I'm looking forward to next week! Here's a video of the confrontation courtesy of Dime Wars:
