RHOA Recap: Holidazed and Confused


I don’t know why Bravo would show a new episode on Christmas Eve eve and New Year’s Eve eve. These are the day that all of the women who don’t “close their legs to married men”‘ spend with their men. I don’t do that but I do spend the day fantasizing about it and writing fan fiction involving an Lucy/Fred Ricky/Ethel switch up. And now you know a little more about me. Anyway, the holiday weeks have been hectic so here’s what I got.

Porsha is still reeling from the fight with Kenya. They haven’t reached any real conclusions.


“Seriously though…how much wood would a woodchuck chuck?”

Porsha feels that she is more mature than Kenya even though she’s ten or fifteen years younger than her. Then she asks if they took out the trash. Nothing says maturity like relentless name calling. And 15 years? Come on Porsha, you’re sitting around with a bunch of women who are closer to getting their AARP card than getting carded at a bar. Another sign of how dumb she is: know your audience. “Old” jokes are only effective if you’re around your peers. Cynthia even says to the camera that she would have been fighting too if Porsha hurled those insults in her direction. Nene feels that Kenya needs to drop the Miss USA thing since it was a long time ago but that’s silly considering she’s been talking about her stripper past and that was three noses ago. Phaedra defends the fact that Kenya actually is a part of history and says that she actually likes her as a person. Porsha thinks that every idiot has a person that thinks they’re smart.

Kenya tells Walter what happened downstairs. Apparently, everyone heard the arguing but did nothing about it. Kenya tells Walter that she is a part of history i.e. Obama, Clinton and Kennedy.

“I am walking history. That BP oil spill? That was me, swimming. “

Gregg quite possibly has a developmental disability. I don’t have a picture but there was a quick clip of him walking around the pool with a shovel or broom and acting like a Klump as Nene put it last week. Nene goes to Kandi’s room to tell her about the fight. It seems Nene is more comfortable with her now that Kim is out of the picture. Nene tells the fight story but places most of the emphasis on the twirls. Kandi is shocked and amused…not about the fight but the fact that Nene is speaking to her. Nene segues into trying to figure out why Kandi feels the way she does about her. Kandi felt that the success party was an attempt to make up for bad press that Nene had received. They both agree that they never felt a connection and Kandi says that now she sees the side of Nene she expected in the beginning. They’re happy for each other and where they are in their lives now and Todd says he’s about to cry. Nene says that they’re both short and they both need love; tall people just need a confused elderly man who think they’re the greatest thing since Naturalizer sneakers. Enter Gregg. He enters the room saying he’s 40 and fabulous and starts snapping and twirling around. Gregg seems to think that getting his sexy back requires him to take on the characteristics of an aging disco queen. Or a former Miss USA. It’s so weird.

Kandi: Give this to Gregg. He’s got cramps so he needs to be prepared.

    Great recap!

    I like Nene, Phaedra, and Kandi a lot this season. They seem like they are having a good time despite their contractual obligations to RHOA.

    I did not think it was possible, but Cynthia is even more boring this season. But she did inadvertently provide the best reference of the recap: \The Bailey Agency/School? of Fashionable Magic and Dark Arts.\ Seriously, what is her \business\ exactly? Has she accomplished anything with it? Or is she just going to hawk booze like all the other \real\ housewives?

    Porsha is definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but she seems harmless enough. I just don’t think she is cut out to hang with these women over the long haul.

    Kenya is beyond delusional. If she isn’t careful, she will be committed to a psych hospital someday! It is crystal clear to me why she isn’t married or a mother; no sane man can put up with her and she obviously hasn’t met the right kind of crazy guy. Btw, I *loved* the line \Kenya seems like she has time for bacterial vaginosis!\

    I am soooo glad Kim is gone. She made my skin crawl with her fake hair, fake boobs, and endless whining. She truly was the most classless of the group, although admittedly that is not saying a whole lot.

    Keep up the good work, LB!

    @L Boogie I don’t know about now but back in the day Clermont Lounge was where everybody that did any kind of performance art or in a band played at least once a yr. And went to late at night after playing somewhere else. And after they got a Majestic special. And some birth control from the Plaza Pharmacy.

    It’s true people do strip there. Including some older people. But it’s so not a strip club. There’s not really any way to explain the Clermont Lounge. Except that Bravo doesn’t have any business even knowing about it. Much less shooting scenes there. It’s for artists. Not them.

    That’s so weird how you mentioned Cynthia being dressed up like Run DMC. Because I was just getting tuned up to say I don’t think Greggg’s got isn’t the regular kind of developmental sickness.

    He’s got the Suburban Husband Syndrome. Like Rev Run. 1 of the symptoms is when they can’t be around a pool without taking a fish net to it. They’ll stay there an hour trying to get 1 leaf. Like it was a game at 6 Flags where they could win a big plush duck.

    I’ve started hoping Porsha’s playing a character. Even though that’d mean she’s also playing us. It’s just I hate to see so much shame brought on that family.

    Anyway she’s lying about her part in the twirl fight. She totally called Kenya out of her name. They even ran tape to prove it. I think Kenya did it 1st. But still.

    Kenya made me mad including Walter in her abuse too. Even if she wasn’t paying him we haven’t seen him do 1 abusive thing to her. Not wanting to marry somebody doesn’t count as abuse. Shoot, we’d all be in jail. Serving a consecutive term for every single victim.

    He hasn’t made her any promises. He even told her family straight up that he does want to settle down 1 day. But they’re just getting to know each other. That’s as polite as you can get if somebody makes you meet their family when it’s way too early days and or something you know’s not ever going to be serious.

    The same way “anything can happen” is the polite way to say “no way no how” to somebody without hurting their feelings. No matter how much she paid him you know he didn’t sign up to get called an abuser. Or for her to try to trick him into saying he’d marry her on tv. I wonder if he could sue her for sexual harrassment.

    IMO all of the RHA people are as dumb as a bag of rock. I listen to them and think” WTF they are saying and why?”. All “husbands” seem so dumb and uneducated. Walter has a really stupid and glassy-eyed face. Porsha, Cynthia, Peter, Appolo, Porsha’s husband, and the rest of MENSA Atlanta Edition memebers… You just know that even though the wheel is spinning, the hamster is long dead.
    P.S. I love how Kandy manages to talk through closed mouth, yet chews with her big mouth wide open. Klassy!

    I would think that f-ing Apollo would be much more enjoyable that f-ing Gregg.

    I was too distracted by Cynthia’s god-awful blue / grey / gunmetal eyeshadow for the past three episodes to really give a shit about anything else.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love me some color….but it aint working for her and what she’s wearing.

    @aliens. I thought I was the only one grossed out by the way Kandi eats. Her lips are always greasy and her lower jaw rotates around like a cow chewing its cud. A cow wearing too much lipgloss, that is.

    @Derek Hazelton, I’m on Twitter @RealLaurenSmith. I’m one of those weirdos who doesn’t totally get how to use it so I don’t that much BUT I like your idea! This’ll be my new thing for 2013. I’m trying new things everyday, 265 things to be exact.

    LOL, the only reason I suggest it is because @belowsealevel tweeted with me and @Gypsy during RHONY. It’s actually a great time to live tweet with others (plus, it’s a shorthanded way to remember the show without having to watch it 3 or 4 times!). My asking was more selfish than anything else. If I blow up your Twitter on Sunday nights, don’t block me!

    I’m @dqh257 on there, so I’ll find and “follow” you.
