Last week I revealed the four cast members of The Real Housewives of Atlanta that were confirmed for next season (click HERE if you missed that).
As of today, at least one cast member (Sheree Whitfield) is rumored to be cut from the roster, while Kim Zolciak‘s future reportedly depends on how well her upcoming wedding special is received.
On the other end of the spectrum is Marquavious Marlo, who was hoping and praying that her new found popularity would secure her a spot on the show, but apparently since she hasn’t received any news from Bravo at all — not even an invitation to return next season as a background character — she’s not too hopeful.
Because of this, one of Marlo’s “F” words has written her a new blawg post with a cryptic message seemingly to save face before she too gets the boot.
Could these be Marlo’s last words to Bravo? Read it and weep…
The wear and tear was starting to show.? Fatigue setting in.? The formula exhausted.? It happens when you are slow to recognize opportunity, not committed to victory for all who play well.? The audience knows it and sometimes they rebel.
I watched the Hunger Games, did you?? The powers fed the hungry and the hungry continued to want more. Then Katniss arrived, tentative, distrustful, but honest.
She entered the arena, not with the same packaging.? She came in trailing fire.? A few understood her possibilities right away.
In the end, she won on her own terms.
Though the terrain was treacherous, her supporters kept her moving along.? And she rewarded them, with theatre and spectacle – drama unforeseen.? But when the powers lost hold of the reins and she created her own ending, a sacrifice was made.? The audience wanted a victor, but they were only allowed one.
Surely the powers must know, that even if the formula works, somewhere along the way it won’t, and the smart ones are those who deliver the new, even before its wanted…
Ok… From what I gather,?Montell Marlo feels she won the game Bravo made her play, even though they changed the terrain and lost hold of their anticipated ending.
It is my understanding that the South Africa trip was originally meant to be the season finale (Read THIS), but somewhere along the way Bravo decided Martin Marlo was too damaging to the brand so they switched things up a bit.
The South Africa trip was placed in the middle of the season and footage from several events that were taped prior was pieced together and added towards the end.
For example, in the photos from Phaedra Parks’ son’s birthday party, you may have noticed that Marlo was in attendance but was totally edited out of the party scenes.
Once the show aired only Sheree was included in the footage, although Cynthia Bailey was there as well.
Marlo may also be claiming that she created her own ending by fighting with Sheree instead of NeNe (as was originally anticipated). And perhaps Sheree was the sacrificial lamb….
Hell… I dunno.
