Hi Gasmii--
It's the Season Finale! I thought I would be more excited, since writing double blogs (I also do Melrose Place, which should be way more fun than it is) has wreaked havoc with my social life, other projects, and amount of sexual activity. When Flipit asked me to do MP, he thought there were only two RHOA left, but this season has had a whopping 13 episodes, and that's not including any Reunion shows or Lost Footage specials!
But now I fear I will miss these selfish crazy bitches (and Kandi), not to mention all of you. So we'll see what slots (and sluts) become available. My BF Martin is leaving for a month (I'm sorry, Marti, but 24 days is a month) AND I have insomnia, so it might be the perfect storm for me to take on ANOTHER 2nd blog. We'll see...
OK, you will love this episode, so let's get naked and smoke!
Purple Door Salon. Sheree arrives to find Dwight and a teeny-tiny "Runway Fashion Stylist" named Christian fussing over a gown-clad model. Dwight tells his little friend to pull something to make something tighter as Sheree marches over to them. "My role for my fashion show," she interviews, "is to make sure everything goes perfectly." She says she has a "very clear vision" of the show, but since "I am a designer" (she so isn't) and unfamiliar with "production", she accepted Dwight's offer to help mount the debut of She by Sheree. Dwight starts ordering Christian to pin the gown and then alter it with Sheree right of front of them, but instead of fur flying, Sheree stays oddly silent.
If you need on-the-go accessorizing, he fits right in your purse!
Dwight interviews that Sheree has been "in a daze" all day, and we see footage of her with sunglasses on indoors, staring into space. "I just took control over her show," Dwight tells us. Sheree interviews that the show's in three days, and she's expecting "press, buyers, critics, friends... the Who's Who in Atlanta!" So she's pretty nervous, which she apparently internalizes instead of ramping up the cuntiness like we all would have predicted under oath.
Dwight interviews that "last year was a fashion show without fashions", referring to S's infamous gala for which she substituted sketches hung on walls for the clothing samples she, fueled by then-BFF Kim, decided she hated at the last minute. But having actual clothes look right on live runway models is "a whole nother level" Dwight advises us.
The model puts on sportswear separates and Dwight says the look is "not exciting" and needs to be dressed up with lots of bling. Sheree half-heartedly argues that she doesn't mind a little "jewry" but they ARE selling the clothes. Dwight says the press will be bored to death by this outfit-- trust him. Sheree wanders off to take a call about sports tickets as Dwight stares pissily at her. "I'm creating the story... she hasn't given me anything," Dwight tells the Style Munchkin. "Her imagination is not connecting." That's one way to put it. After she hangs up, Dwight tells Sheree they need to "wrap this up"-- he's getting "fustrated" and "you don't wanna see this side of Dwight". Maybe he'll transform into a pink Gay Hulk in cut-off low-rise jeans!
Lisa & Ed's tract mansion. Cuddly Ed is surfing the web and taking notes, hopefully from a Google search for "Leia LaBiblia". Lisa appears with a glass of white wine for him. He says he wants to talk to her about "restructuring". Lisa interviews that Ed used to pull down $3 million large playing football, but since he recently retired, I have a feeling budget cuts might be in order. Ed tells her he loves their house, but it costs $200K to live there and he doesn't want to have to tap into their savings. Lisa tells him she can contribute financially, but he thinks "the responsible thing to do, especially in this economy" is to downsize.
Ed wearing fewer clothes would cut down on both shopping bills and laundry expenses.

Leia, you had me at "detente." Heart you!
Holy crap, what a way to wind up this recap, with a shot of Kim's nether-area. I need a shower and new eyeballs, not necessarily in that order.
Way to melt down, NeNe. I was fine hating on Kim and Sheree, now you want some? Seriously, I was in Camp NeNe last season, and part of this one, but after all of her freaking out on Kandi I had to jump ship.
Can't wait for the reunion show, or more accurately, the recap of the reunion show!

GREAT RECAP!!
My fave part of that episode was when Kandi said its good that Nene don't get paid for thinking. LOVE.THAT.GIRL.!
My radio station played the 911 call Kim made after the choking incident and interviewed her. She was very vague, but that was a month or so ago and she couldn't give details because of the show, but she swore we would see the truth.

GROSS! I think I'm scarred for LIFE after seeing that last pic of Kim. I didn't expect it. Ugh. I need a minute to recover.....hang on.....
Okay, the recap was awesome. Thanks so much for doing this season. I thoroughly enjoyed them all and hope you come back for more RH franchises! I truly enjoy your brand of humor!
I thought it was definitely nice of the Bravo editors to show that warm moment between Joyce and AJ. Ever since I heard he died, I've been wondering how Joyce feels about being such a harda$$ towards him. It's nice to see that they had at least come to a place of peace before he died.
I love Kandi. She is so funny. When she was freaking out over Kim "letting" NeNe choke her that was just too much.
Kim is just trash to me and I really don't like Lisa. Anyone else notice how when Lisa and Ed were talking about "restructuring" Lisa kept saying she could bring in the money to pay the bills and Ed just kept ignoring her comments? I really wonder how much she pulls down a year. Just b/c you have a million businesses, doesn't mean they are all profitable. Plus, she's always saying Ed is the one helping her with the businesses, meanwhile, we don't see her doing much.
I think Sheree's fashion show was really nice. I liked her stuff better than Lisa's. Too bad her stuff won't be in stores, but Lisa's tacky stuff will. I think it's just a popularity thing. Nobody likes Sheree and more people like Lisa. I would never wear anything by Lisa.
Anyway, thanks again for a great season Leia! See you at the Reunion recaps! Peace!

I wasn't gonna watch this episode at all, but I'm glad I did. Some of the funniest stuff happened...and the recap ain't bad either!
I'm sure they do have tape of the Crooked-Eyed Moose choking out Busty Morgan, but I'm assuming it's being squashed just now for legal reasons. After Kim called 911 the producers probably told her if she proceded with filing charges, or whatever, she couldn't be on the show any more. Don't forget, those dumbass Bravo producers are still entirely convinced that Ne-He (thank you Joel McHale) is America's sweetheart who can do no wrong, and always will be. I wonder what excuse Ne-He will use when she tries to attack Kim again at the reunion show...looks like they were separated ahead of time, so she won't be able to claim that by pushing Ne-He's wagging claw away from her eyeball, Kim is the one who "made it physical."
I loved it when, in response to Ne-He's, "I don't want to continue with another dumb argument" Kandi simply replied, "Then why are you still talking?" Kandi is definitely the only person I like or respect on this show these days. All the ho-wives suck, pretty much all their "friends" suck, and even the husbands get on my nerves now. Sorry, Leia, I know you adore him, but now that I've found out that Ed is actually smart enough to be fully aware of what's going on with his marriage and his finances and his delusional wife, he's become much less attractive to me. All his obvious efforts this season to get himself more camera time irked me a little too. I guess I just liked Ed better when I thought he was well built & hot but and dumb as a box of rocks.
I think if my house got foreclosed I might possibly consider thinking about maybe downsizing a tiny bit too. You're a very fiscally responsible biddnisswoman, Lisa Wu Hartwell!

kim is looking just a wee bit too much like that puppet madame of solid gold 1980s fame. give her 5 years.
if someone has a killer fashion career, is the next logical step fucking exercise videos? for reals? methinks they let ol' sherry have her fun on tv to compete with lisa...but guest appearances on the home shopping network are really where she'll max out.
