RHOA Recap: Holidazed and Confused


Nene is shooting the cover of Ebony for their power issue. There was a minor controversy over it but I don’t think it’s a big deal. Who better to celebrate on Ebony than a Black woman who seems to be trying to physically un-Blacken everyday?

Cynthia has become a spokesperson for a wine and they’re having a launch party at Bar One. Apollo shows off his Biblical knowledge and quotes a verse about Jesus and wine. Incidentally, his knowledge begins AND ends there. The guys all hang out in one area and the girls hang out in another. Peter asks Apollo about what it was like to be in jail. It sounds really bad. He wasn’t able to go outside for 16 months until he was on trash detail and was able to feel rain on his very first day. That’s deep.

Kenya is still talking about Walter, ugh! He’s on his way to the event and she still needs to know if she’s the one.

Kenya: Who are you and why are you talking to me?
Walter: It’s me. Walter. Your pretend boyfriend from the agency.

They literally greeted each other like they barely know or like each other. Anyway, Kenya finds out that Walter had been there for 10 minutes and took shots already. For a fake relationship she sure is annoying. If I were pretending to be in love, I’d be playing the perfect woman so that when I broke up the fake relationship I’d be looking like a real catch. Porsha takes Kenya aside and tries to make amends but it doesn’t work out well. Kenya is already fake angry at Walter and tells Porsha that she doesn’t see them being friends.

“I don’t know how we move forward. I literally don’t know how. We never covered that in school.” 

They kinda sorta agree to be cordial. By the way, Kordell tried to get in the conversation but Kenya made him step aside. He wasted no time jumping back in, along with Cynthia, as soon as she left. Porsha tried to tell her side of the story but Kordell kept telling her to drop it. It may have been the 10 shots of tequila he had. Cynthia thinks it’s strange that he won’t let Porsha talk and fill her contractual agreement to drag out a stupid argument to mind numbingly stupid lengths.

Porsha: Today Kordell taught me a new song: AB C D E F G H I J K –
Kordell: I’m gonna stop you right there. It’s a little pitchy dawg.
Cynthia: I think we may have classes at The Bailey Agency University of Singing & Such that’ll help.

Over at the guys table, Peter brings up the divorce story. Apollo refers to Phaedra as a goddamn beast who’s on one million everyday. That would be the most romantic Valentine’s Day card ever! Seriously though, Phaedra must get turned on by stuff like that because as you probably know, she’s pregnant in real time. At the girl’s table, Cynthia brings it up and Phaedra dismisses it by saying she laughed at the story. What a coincidence. Apollo saunters over right at that moment.

Phaedra assumes the position.

And then this happens.

    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.
