Great job, as usual, Leia. The penny finally dropped for me too when Joyce voiced her concerns about AJ. She's got some totally valid points! It's not so much AJ, but who knows what the Baby- Mamas might have tried to pull . Does Kandi know these women? Did AJ really know these women?? It's easy for me to say, love is one thing, but Gurrrrrrrl, you've been workin' too hard for too long to not protect your assets. It's a smart business move not a slight against your loyalty and love. Of course, unfortunately, it's all moot now. However, Joyce could have expressed her concerns with a less sourpussy attitude. BTW, why DOES Kandi has custody of 2 of AJ's kids?

I didn't get the impression Kim was still hairless. I think she just still prefers wigs (for whatever reason). But, one a DAY?!!! I hope she is successful with her wig business. She needs to find out how to support herself. What happens if Big Poppa goes away for good? I can understand what Jeff saw in Gretchen, but Kim is just a dumb bimbo with big boobs. At least Gretchen had real estate to fall back on. I don't think Kim would be able to understand how to read a contract (or spell "contract.")

This is amazing! I finally found an industry more useless than high fashion (where no one wears the clothes, and "walking" is a job skill): the semi-rich housewife fashion industry!

It's incredible! In some cases, you can have a show WITHOUT EVEN SHOWING THE CLOTHES! Or, if you wanna be really fierce an' shit, you can hire one sweatshop seamstress in NYC to sew up some Targhetto specials. Get yourself a flaming gay hairdresser to produce it, and away you go! The clothes aren't really necessary though. It's really just about havin' all you bitches come over and say "Da-yum, girl, you look faaaahbulous! You so hott!" And then, when THEY design their own fashion line, you go to their show and reciprocate. Camera time will follow!

Can I get a bitch to TESTIFY?

2muchbravo, I believe AJ was going through something where he couldn't take care of two of his daughters so Kandi ended up taking care of them. Another valid point by Kandi's mom who said if AJ couldn't support them then Kandi would have to. Something's also going with AJ other baby mamas that's why they couldn't take care of them.

Say what you want about Kim but she does her and she don't give a damn what anyone thinks about her I can respect that and that's the only thing I can respect about her. I thought it was very interesting to see Nene with her family, it's nice to see calm for a change, calm is not boring Nene. I have to say I will miss these crazy delusional women when their gone I became way too attached to this show and these recaps have made it so much better great job Leia!!!

OMG! Not only is Ed gorgeous and sweet, but he's a renaissance man! I AM in love.

"Mrs. Garrett-Morris" ha ha ha ha!

i really do believe these women have no money....just look at their "homes" in the background...nothing! nothing on the counters, nothing on the walls, nothing on the tables, nothing! absolutely no character! it's like they tape this crap in a model home. i may not have much money, but my home feels like one.

I can't believe Kandi was not going to get a pre-nup. I adore Kandi, and wish her all the best - but, what the hayell was she thinking?!?

Leia - I sure do love your recaps (Melrose Place too). And, if you keep bragging about your modeling days I think you should have to produce some pics - come on, be a sport! And, include some of your Australian model boyfriend too. :)

Another great recap on this nutty show, Leia! What's the deal with Kim wearing one wig a day?? Can't they be washed? They're made of human hair, right? I'm sure hers do reek of cig smoke, but there must be a way to air them out or wash them or something. And does Big Papa pay for EVERYTHING?? Does Kim have an ex husband or baby dadas that are around?

I'm shocked that I'm the only one who was appalled by AJ since the beginning. I have two girls, and if one of them told me that they were marrying a guy with SIX kids by FOUR different women, I think I would keel over. Wake up Kandi -you're lucky your mom slowed you down and you didn't marry that doofus. He looked at her and saw dollar signs, I'm sure. I don't know why she has two of hiskids - I read the mom is a druggie or something and couldn't keep them.

Why doesn't NeNe do a DNA test before she goes any further with this Alan person? Isn't that the logical thing to do? But silly me, putting logic and NeNe together!!

holy hell leia,

one word for you:

Million. Dollar. Listing.
(I was never good at math).

Teen Wolf, Rectal Swab & Ken Barbie. It's the most horrifying, tween-hairiest, pompous showdown of I-can-see-why-other-countries-hate-us Bravo arrogance this side of the Real Housewives franchise.

Recap. Recap. Recap.

You don't have anything else to do eh? ;)

I'd like to second k37744' suggestion. Leia, you really managed to miss the entire first season of those million dollar douchebags? OMG you should totally recap that show. Of course Chad does indeed look like a rectal swab, and I've been calling him that forever (OK so actually I might have stolen it from Joel McHale last year) but the fact that you came up with that name/description without even seeing the Swab in action is prolly a sign or omen of some kind. I'd sure enjoy reading your take on that show.

Frankly I'm tired of the Atlanta Ho-wives and sort of wish they were gone already. In less than two short seasons Bravo has gotten me to completely loathe all of them...except for Kandi of course...but she's still a newbie. Maybe the reunion wil be OK, but I don't exactly have high hopes about that either because at this point I loathe Any Cohen too. I guess it'd be kinda cool if they all killed each other at the reunion taping though. Fingers crossed!

Thanks for all the love, and I'm glad we all seem to agree that AJ WAS an out-of-control truck careening toward our Baby Girl. It makes me wonder if Joyce had anything to do with him getting his tires fatally slashed outside that strip club...???

MILLION DOLLAR LISTING is like heroin... the bliss of the overblown egomaniacal sexually confused materialistc vapidity, coupled with the nausea that these little pillow-biters get several hundred K a year to pimp those mostly hideous Chateaux de Tasteless! Also, I'm addicted to it and if I go too long without seeing it, I get chills, projectile diarrhea and severe body aches.

I fell in love with it last season, so I might've missed the first season. Did I?

I would love to see Chad (who has those hilarious chicken legs and big dumper and insists on showcasing them in skinny jeans like a long-lost fruity Ramone) and FLIPPING OUT's Jeff Lewis get assigned to work with Vicki & Tamra from RHOC. The cuntiness would be off da fuckin chartz!

And Ms Jacqmills-- I was toying with the idea of releasing some select personal photos, but can't stand the thought of being a hata-baita. I will tell you that my BF Martin turned down a go-see with that creepy underwear designer from THE FASHION SHOW who guested on MIAMI SOCIAL. 2muchBravo should be my fuckin SN!

besos,
LLB

I just read that the guy accused of killing AJ is out of jail on $10,000 bond. I think that means that bail is $50,000 (?) so he had to put up 20% in cash and collateral for the rest. Maybe it's 10% in cash?

Anyway, he is charged with voluntary manslaughter, and the article said that he is accused of "beating AJ to death." His lawyer claims that a preexisting medical condition is what caused AJ's death. I think the condition is that his skull was not immune to being bashed against the pavement in the parking lot.

It's so weird that somebody got killed at a strip club and there were no guns involved.

I am just surprised that anyone can keep watching this show. Watching these shows just destroys my faith in humanity.

The only involvement I have with the show is reading the recaps, but that is just because leia labiblia does such an accurate job of describing why these women are just horrible. And precisely describes why and how they are just lowly, completely delusional, human beings. It doesn't make me quite as angry or disgusted when they are being made fun of and called out on their bullshit. Now if we could just get them to read these recaps with the hope that it might get them to try to be a better person.

(Of course, Kandi is excused from all of this wraith. )

I am just floored that Bravo just continues to show case these assholes and holding them up as supposed role models. Well at least the sheeple would like to be like them, but us, gasm readers, know better. How many horrible human beings can be given a reality show before we cry out for mercy. Or realize that people who are the worst of humanity shouldn't be showcased on television. It is an embarrassment and the Housewives of the OC hasn't even started.

And you are dead on about the million dollar guy looking like an anal swab. Stop getting your mom to cut your hair with a bowl over your head. If you can stand watching that show. I say go ahead and recap it because I think you will do it justice.

And please will you put up pictures of your modeling days and/or definitely a link to your hot boyfriend. Unless that is a total betrayal of his trust in you. But you recappers kind of become like stars in our world and getting a glimpse into your world is kind of fun. But in a totally non stalker way.

If it makes you feel any better, saturn, I think that most people watch these shows to see freaks, not role models.

Why does everybody but me know what an anal swab looks like? (Heh.)

I'd love to see pix from your model days, too! J-Mo shows off his pix from his drag pageants (see Top Chef reviews!)... please, please, pretty please, I'll be your best friend!

NotWithoutMyTV- you cracked me up with your post! "Targhetto" heheheheheehee

Thanks Leia, another great recap. So sorry the season is about to end. You cooould give us something to hold onto, like say, post a teen model picture. That would help.

Anyone read if Kandi will do RHOA next season? I hope she does. She is the only one out of ALL of them that I like. Glad AJ is out of the picture, but not like this.

Someone tell Kim we are in a recession. She should wear those wigs atleast for 2 days before throwing away. Shooot, the girl should sell them on ebay and get alittle before BigPoppa and his money aren't around anymore.

pixielated:

I think that an anal swab pretty much looks like your regular swab only longer. At least the anal swabs I use in my work look like that, so I am just assuming that is what one looks like.

And okay. Not so much role models, but I still think that it is a little bit wrong that we watch tv to feel better about ourselves. Not saying that is what everyone is doing, but there is little bit of glee in thinking well at least i am not as fucked up as Kim even though she has money. And it just says something that these women were given a reality show. I think it makes younger people believe that all they need to do to be famous is to get on tv. Doesn't matter if you have any talent, but if you have some physical abnormality, have a large family or a rich then you can achieve some level of fame. But maybe I am thinking too much- its that damn sociology class that I am taking.

Nene, eventually Bravo fans saw your true spirit come out progressively through the show. You tried to blame the Bravo show editors for making you look like a villain. No Nene – the fact is Bravo fans saw what you truly are = a Lumpy Moose who is a Rotten Atlanta Peach to the core! Regarding assault: Kim including anyone who is has been physically assaulted by you should have had you arrested. You are a hypocrite, you were a victim of violence yet were and are are violent toward others, verbally and physically. You are a poor representative of victims, even though Twisted Hearts and the Heel the Soul- Stiletto Woman is rooted in good intentions, you tarnish it all due to your violent bulling behavior on the the show. Bravo executives, please kick her ugly ass mooseface off the show! Nene in negotiations with her own show = disgusting! ***Listen to NeNe verbal comments about the first time she saw her possible father… she called him a ‘Mess’ before pulling over the car to meet him. Obviously he gonna hear that comment reviewing the episode, Nene has no respect or class not even for a disabled elderly possible father. It just keeps getting worse the more you think about Nene. Just say 'NO' to 'NENE'!

Bravo Fabulous- I have to say that I agree with you. But at the same time this can be said about almost all the housewives from all the seasons. With the exception of a few. Not that all the housewives have exhibited physical violence towards another housewife, but that have exhibited behavior the is completely horrible. Like when Tamara purposely set out to Gretchen drunk that was disgusting. And then set her perverted son on her who almost date raped her. Almost none of these women should be on tv and given the chance to pedal their shitty products.

The other day Alex McCord was in the NY Times for being in badly dressed. The joke was that she was called a star. She is not a star- she is on a reality show and got casted because she supposedly has money. Well to make that is not a star. A star is someone that works to make the world a better place. A person that choose to chase a moral and spiritual life over choosing to chase greed. A star is someone that is exceptionally talented at something. In my world a teacher is a star. A trash man is a star because I sure as hell wouldn't want to pick up trash all day. A person's worth is not based on their money, but their contribution to the world. An effort to make the world a better place. So actually none of these rotten women should be on tv.

And before you start pointing out how the NY housewives show focused on the charity event that Jill Zarin threw. Please that is par for the course in the upper social stratum of New York. It is a way to be seen. The freaking event cost probably more than was donated.
