Kandi, Kim, Sheree, Nene and very little Lisa

This show is starting to get dull, because it is overwhelmingly phony! 

This week, Nene goes back to her hometown Athens, GA and while she narrates her story, her dialect changes, her enunciation of words become very deliberate.  Nene, her Uncle and ghost writer go to a house that Nene claims her Mother once owned.  Very nice home and it gives one the impression that Nene came from money, because Nene states this house would have been her Mother’s summer home.   Summer home in the Southeast?  Most people in the Northeast make their second home in the South their winter home to escape the harsh winters of the North.  Any who, the house according to Nene has been vacant for numerous years  and no one in the family wanted to change the house.  Nene and her crew stood outside of the house because she did not have a key!?  Why would someone leave a house vacant for numerous years and why doesn’t NeNe have the key or have access to the key to her Mother’s home?   Was this home her step fathers home and Nene’s mother lived in the house with him? 

Nene meets the man who states he is her Father.   Nothing but pleasantries were exchanged, no tears, hugs or embrace.  Just a handshake.  They agreed to talk later and he would answer any questions she had.

Kim was basically non eventful this week.  She met Sheree at FAB(place of the notorious fight) and the organized a surprise engagement party for Kandi.   She has Dwight J bring over a new wig and claims her wigs cost $800 per wig and she uses a new wig everyday!   At least she is trying to show some extravagant spending, but being wasteful is just dumb!   She organizes Kandi’s engagement party and it appears that only the Housewives and a few extras showed.  

Lisa ????  Showed up with Ed to Kandi’s engagement party and that was her role this week.  Dwight organizing Sheree’s Fashion show had more time the Lisa.

Now for Kandi.  It isn’t wierd seeing AJ on TV, but you have to wonder if her Mother has a since of relief since AJ is no longer in the picture.   Kandi, AJ and Kandi’s Mom (Joyce) went to counseling and Mom expresses her concern and protection of everything Kandi has worked hard to earn.  It also gets out that Kandi did not feel a prenup is necessary.   That just is not smart. 

Sheree continues to prepare for She for Sheree and her samples are delivered.  Sheree had all the samples made in her size,  not the average model size.   Sheree’s body is amazing and her samples (those that we saw) look much, much better then Closet Freak!   She also plans the non eventful engagement party for Kandi with Kim.  

The surprise engagement party was a surprise to Kandi and AJ.  Kandi’s Mother and Aunts also showed up to the engagement party.  Everyone was very polite, but the awkward of the moment is transparent through the television airwaves.  Well, AJ ask Kandi’s Mom to give a toast.  WTF??  AJ wanted to start something!   Mom stands there and pretty much says she hopes she is wrong and it all works out.

We need some new Housewives from the ATL!!!

Ashley “AJ” Jewel laid to rest

Kandi and her ex-fiance' AJ

Ashley “AJ” Jewel was laid to rest today exactly one week after he was involved in an altercation outside of an Atlanta Strip club.   Details of the fight that is believed to have ultimately killed AJ are sketchy at this time.   All of the Real Housewives of Atlanta with the exception of Sheree attended the funeral. 

Ashley Jewel was thirty four years old and leaves behind six children.    Gone too soon.

Heals to the NAW!

Real Housewives of Atlanta

 

 

 

What in the world did Dwight have on at the Heal the Soul run?   Dwight wore a black catsuit that stopped at mid thigh and a belly button hole in the stomach, with a beige cap on his head.  WTF?? 

 Nene cheated on her own run and still lost.  All of the housewives with the exception of Kim and Kandi participated.   Kim was not invited and there was no discussion as to why Kandi was not present.

Sheree prepared for her fashion show with the help of Dwight.  Dwight took over and Sheree became a coward and allowed him to do so.   Dwight may know what he is doing, but he goes on and on and on.   He loves the sound of his voice, but I am not sure if he likes the way he looks?  He looks more peculiar every episode.   Sheree is fading off of the show, she may want to find some drama.

Once again Lisa has no story line.  She took a pregnancy test because her cycle had been irregular.   How an irregular cycle  has something in common with pregnancy I don’t know.  A missed cycle may warrant a pregnancy test, but irregular?  Needless to say Lisa spent $13.95 on an early pregnancy test to find out her irregular cycle was not because she was pregnant. 

We saw Kim spending over $600 on clothing for her youngest daughter using her black AMEX card.  Kim said it was hers and not Big Poppas.   It is my understanding a minimum of $250,000 a year has to be spent to acquire that card.   How can Kim spend $25o,00o a year without Big Poppa?  Kim needs to get a grip with reality and keep it real.  I wonder if she returned all of the clothing once the cameras left?

Kandi went to LA to sign with Capital records.   We also see the problem with reality TV.  The earyness of watching a person who is no longer living, having conversations that is new to the viewer.   It appears that Bravo has chosen not to edit the scenes with Ashley “AJ” Jewel and Kandi.   Next week previews show Kandi, her Mother and AJ in family counseling and arguing about their pending marriage.

AJ’s wake was today in Atlanta and filming of the reunion show was to take place yesterday, but was canceled by Bravo.  I cannot imagine Kandi will attend the reunion show, how will they be able to have petty arguments when someone is going through something so tragic.   These women have immeasurable egos, but I don’t think they would attack Kandi when she is going through such a difficult time.

Arrest made in the beating death of Kandi’s Fiance’ Ashley “AJ” Jewel,

 

Kandi and her ex-fiance' AJ

It appear AJ was involved in a fight in the parking lot of a local Atlanta Strip Club Body Tap Friday night.   Essence.com last month reported that AJ had financial interest in an Atlanta (unknown name) Strip club.    It appears the fight involved AJ and Frederick Richardson and there were witnesses to the fight.   Richardson who has now been charged with Voluntary Manslaughter, is currently being treated for his injuries at an Atlanta Hospital and will be taken into custody once he is released from the Hospital.

Let’s go back to High School

Let’s all go back to High School were we get upset that someone does not like us and sometimes looks at us funny!   This is Nene’s reasoning to Lisa about the blowup she had with Kandi and in Nene’s mind she feels that Kandi was the one at fault.  Nene feels  that women are intimidated by her because of her big personality.   Doubt it!

The show was light on Sheree.  Sheree goes to New York to examine her samples that are being completed by her seamstress who is located in the big City.   Now why Sheree cannot find a seamstress in a City as large as Atlanta is causing me complete bewilderment.   Sheree seeks the assistance of Dwight in producing the Fashion Show, because her plate is full and she is somewhat overwhelmed.  (Yes, another show with Dwight.  Bravo cannot have a show without Dwight. ) Dwight provided valuable insight, but Dwight is a DIVA.   Dwight does not understand this is Sheree’s show, not Dwight’s.   Dwight is way too much.

Lisa as usual really does not have a story line, she is just involved in everyone elses story.  Lisa was invited to a co-birthday party for Kim and Kandi, given by Kim.  Lisa has chosen not to attend the Birthday Party because of Kim’s involvement.  Of course, she gossips about this to Nene who was not invited to the party.   

Kandi and AJ discussed her upcoming performance at what appears to be the Tavern at Phipps Plaza.   Kandi is discussing being nervous about her upcoming performance in which her album is to be debut.   Kim finishes Tardy for Party (comical) and Kandi invites her to attend her performance at Tongue and Groove.  Kim is so excited and tells Kandi that she will be there to provide support.

Kim debuts Tardy for the Party at her birthday party and also flashes a ginormous Diamond ring that Big Poppa gave her prior to dropping her off at the party.   Kim tells her guest she is engaged, but her fiance did not come into the party.   So is he still married and does not want to be identified?   Who knows.  Kim’s vocabulary is so limited that all she does is curse at everyone including Kandi’s mother.  Bi*** is Kim’s favorite word.  Kim,  by a Thesaurus. 

The day has arrived for Kandi’s party and Kandi looks phenomenal!   Sheree could not attend, but called Kandi to offer her support.  Lisa attended and Kim………………was a no show! Of course Lisa had her opinions on this also and I would have to agree with Lisa.  Without Kandi, Tardy for the Party never would have happened, the least Kim could have done was shown up for Kand’s performance.

Kim’s ego this week maybe in competition with Nene’s.

Kandi of the RHOA and her Fiance are no more, but she has two of his kids!!!!

Kandi Burruss of the Real Housewives of Atlanta

Kandi of the RHOA is confessing to Essence magazine about her relationship status with AJ.

ESSENCE.COM: Speaking of which, inquiring minds want to know what exactly does AJ do for a living?
BURRUSS: AJ over time has done a lot of things, including running this collection agency while we were together and he just recently bought into this strip club.

ESSENCE.COM: Hold up. Did you just say you and AJ are no longer together?
BURRUSS: (Laughs.) We’re on hiatus. He’s a great guy and he’s not the type to sit on his behind like a scrub, so it has nothing to do with that. Yes, he has a lot of children, and yes, I didn’t know about them all at first but I got over it because as long as you handle your responsibility and spend time with your children it’s not an issue for me. Another thing I want to set the record straight on is that AJ was married before. A lot of people make comments like, if he didn’t marry his other children’s mothers then why do you think he’s going to marry you.

ESSENCE.COM: When we spoke before you expressed concern about how a separation might affect your daughter. How is she handling your break?
BURRUSS:Things have changed because not only do I have my daughter living with me but now I am the legal guardian of AJ’s 12-year-old twin daughters because his mother felt the responsibility was too much for her right now and she couldn’t handle it anymore. He would have taken them with him, but they needed a strong female role model and wanted to stay with me. Just because AJ and I are together I have accepted them as my children the same way that my stepfather did me when I was their age and he and my mom separated. He continued do things with me as my father throughout my life.

WTF????  Kandi Girl, what is really going on?  You want that man so bad that you agreed to feed, cloth and educate his kids at your cost?  Counseling on this may be necessary!  Strong black women?  Please.  Let AJ be a strong Black Man and raise his two of six kids.

Ridiculous.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta and there Real Egos.

So many things are consistent with these women on this show.  

• In Sheree’s mind she really is Fabulous.
• Kim only drives White Luxury vehicles.  Her Range Rover, Cadillac Escalade and Bentley are all white.
• Nene may be from Athens but Nene is HOOD.   You do not have to be from the hood to be hood.   Lisa is from the hood and really isn’t hood, but Lisa can be hood if necessary.
• Kandi, with all of her bad grammar appears to be much better behaved then these other self proclaimed socialites.  These chicks continue to try to pull Kandi on there team like it is West Side story and there is going to be a fight.  However,  Kandi remains neutral with everyone.
• Lisa is obsessed with Kim.  Lisa brings Kim up in every conversation.
• Dwight may officially be the sixth housewife, he is on EVERY show.

I need to find the Green dress that Kandi was wearing during her confessional and the Turquoise ring she wore for the Alter Ego photo shoot.  If Kandi would not have worn that plaid dress in episode 2 she could be the Fashionista of this show.   Sheree appears to have lost her edge with her appearance.  She is falling off.

Yelling in a Restaurant for TV popularity

It was a good look for NeNe wanting to work on renewing a friendship between herself, Kim and Sheree.  Unfortunately, once again when watching these chicks I had a flash back of High School with the He said She said that was coming out of there mouths.
