So between Sheree's party drama, NeNe and Sheree's bad blood and all Kimmie's fake hair, I completely forgot about DeShawn and her McCastle! When we next catch up with DeShawn, she's doing her best to make the bed. It's not going well. Okay, seriously honey, who made the bed when you were out hoochie mama-ing it up trying to land the team captain of the Cleveland Cavaliers? Come on. DeShawn will be interviewing candidates for estate manager, and first up is Lindy. Lindy has the personality of a wet mop and some teeny, tiny little glasses perched on top of her Aqua Netted 'do.

The first McCastle issue that Lindy and DeShawn tackle is the procedure for buying potatoes. Very important stuff. Glad they're getting this cleared up expeditiously. A poorly thought out potato procedure could ruin the estate, you know. Next on the agenda is an impending visit from DeShawn's parents. They have requested Baileys and vodka for their room. My kind of people, like 'em already. Lindy is unsure if she is permitted to stock this devil's drink in the Snow house, so Mr. Snow is consulted. "This ain't the nightclub, it's a house," DeShawn's husband exclaims, completely confused.

"May they have food choices?" Warden Lindy presses on. "No! They eat what we cook!" Mr. Snow replies exasperatedly. What is it with these estate wardens and their damn insistence on menu choices? DeShawn sits there and giggles her head off. It's all pretty adorable to me, but Warden Lindy is not amused.

Well, enough of the fancy folk, let's get back to Sheree and the soiree of the century. She's at the salon getting her weave touched up. Still panicked that no one will show, she is now inviting her hairstylist to the party. He wants to know if he can bring a plus one. Then it morphs into plus two. Sheree, fielding phone calls from various Atlanta hos who want some free champers and Louis Vuitton purse cake, agrees to allow the hairstylist and his peon friends to infiltrate the talk of the town party.

Yes, you can bring the lady who hands out samples at Costco but that's it!

Sheree continues on and on about the guest list, and how Tiffany has completely lost control of it. So when the party totally sucks, we'll know who to blame. Sheree informs us that she's thirty-eight, and that she looks good. I disagree. Mean really ages you. She talks about how well her friends / castmates that Bravo introduced her to dress...all except NeNe. Sheree would not put fashion and NeNe in the same sentence. I feel a bitchfight going down. Please let it come to blows at the talk of the town party. Please.

Over at NeNe's, she's getting ready to show up her good pal who she's trying to bury the hatchet with, Sheree, at the party. She instructs her make-up artist to go for smoky eyes to go with her new dress. The make-up artist whips out the big guns - literally, out comes the airbrush gun. We are not messing around here. NeNe shrieks with love for her make-up job, and does a little honey-I-done-left-her-chile snap.

Then we check in with Kimmie, who's also getting ready for the party. Kim's being assisted by a super whiney gay dude who makes house calls. He's Kim's personal stylist, and sometimes he even makes clothes for her! Kim tells us that everyone's always talking about what she's wearing, even to the grocery store. Loves it, nothing says victory louder than every bitch in Atlanta talking about what's barely covering your Barbie-weaved ass.

The whiney stylist hooks her up with a mini-dress that's way to big for her and makes her huge boobs looks even bigger. Whiney's clearly no dummy, cause when you're sewing for a big girl, always better to err on the side of XXL, and then tell her how tiny she is and what hard work it will be to take the whole thing in to accommodate her trim figure. "It's gonna be a showstopper!" Kim declares.

...when it falls off.

We cut to commercial, and at this point, the family caucuses on what we think so far. The conversation goes something like this:

ChickBomb: What do you think?
Uncle Noir: I don't think I can watch too much of this.
Aunt Noir: It's very fast.
Uncle Noir: It is very fast.
Aunt Noir: Is it the TV, do you think?
ChickDad: (Snores)

J-Mo:

Hey ChickBomb... glad to see you back, and glad you are recapping this bunch... I've missed you.

love, J-Mo :)

P.S. ALT+130 = é So you can put in Shereé's name propa-like, a'ight? :)

whitney:

Kim's dress looked like something i could have bought at Forever 21. if i had no taste.

buckrogers:

I'm a long-time fan, first time poster. Great recap! I was wondering if anyone was going to take on this hot mess!

I live in Atlanta and other than athletes, I don't know of many mainstream big-name celebrities living here besides Jermaine Dupree and Janet Jackson. Tyler Perry lives here too, but I'm not sure he really counts much yet, athough he's getting there. I'm sure I'm forgetting someone, and there are probably some that I'm not familiar with b/c I'm not too in tune with the Rap/R&B scene.

Thought I would also mention that Lisa's "unhappy marriage" was to none other than R&B singer Keith Sweat. Don't think he's had a hit in about 15-20 years, but again, R&B isn't really my thing. I think that was a pretty messy divorce, so I guess Lisa and Sheree have something to bond over.

cherin:

oh man, I was praying that someone would recap this show.

Every time a new city/season comes on I swear I won't watch it and then I become addicted.

Fab recap, I'll look forward to the rest of the season even more now!

here4beer:

ChickBomb!! Thanks for recapping this show... I think I am in love with Nene already, even though it's only been 1 date. I will keep you posted on our progress.

Also, I think Big Papa could be Arthur Blank- he is ancient, he founded Home Depot and he is a gazillionaire. It could also be Larry King. (lol/gag)

yentapatrol:

Chickbomb I truly love you. New York Jews I can manage, but Atlanta is way out of my league. That being said, I'm going to love reading these.
Hugs,
Yenta

Cherie:

I live south of Atlanta. I have never been to one of Sheree's talk of the town parties. The last time I went thru Atlanta proper I was flipped off by a homeless guy. Thanks for showing me the humor in these crazy bitches cause when I first watched I was just irritated by them. Thats why I love reading recaps, they usually give me a "different" insight into the shows lol. Great recap chickbomb!

schatzi:

Does Sheree remind anyone else of The Lady Chablis from the movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"?

Cherie:

LOLOLOL schatzi! Yes she does now that you mention it! Except "The Lady" had more class!

MrsBojangles:

These women are ridiculous. Sheree makes me want to kill myself, I will stick up for her though and say that her hair is not a weave, that's all her. Also Kim hair isn't technically a weave either, its a "piece," basically half a wig. The front is her hair while the wig starts a few inches back.

Anyways, besides Sheree I kind of like these women, in a "you don't make me claw my eyeballs out" kind of way. But, we'll see how I feel by the end of the season.

LAjane:

Oh my lord, Kim's dress looked like it was from a Scottish pimps & ho's party. I love how none of these women have an ounce of taste.

you you you:

ChickBomb, I hate you.


You are SO making me want to watch this show! LOL!!!


(Something that I really don't want to do!)

Snootchy Bootches:

The word on the net is that Big Poppa is a guy named Lee Najjar who is a big commercial real estate developer. Apparently, he did all of the big outlet shopping malls in the southeast. And he's married too.

MorbidCuriosity:

Chick,
First, thank you for making me smile about this show. I live in Atlanta, and have been nothing but pissed off since watching the first episode! Long story short, these ignant heffas don't represent me or my friends, and certainly not the Atlanta I have come to know and love. But you helped me find the beauty in such ignance! (And, no, I'm not misspelling that!)
Oh, and for the record, none of them actually lives in Atlanta; they all live north of Atlanta in the rich-rich suburbs.

AuJew:

lollll chickbomb great recap. one more distraction when i should be working...

"I'm not really sure what this means, but I love it so much I've repeated it about eighty times this week." hahahahahaha loooove it.

wincha:

Wow, after starting watching these tacky nouve rich Atlanta hos I miss the Orange County housewives.

BlahBlah:

I spent a 1/3 of my childhood in North ATL suburbs. There are plenty of celebs that live around there, but I don't know if they'd be well-known outside of the black community (we'll call 'em black-famous). Let's put it like this, most black celebs have at least one home in the metro ATL area. And I can't visit family there without running into a celeb, especially at this one particular high-end mall.
