The season hasn’t even started yet and Bravo hasn’t “officially” announced any new housewives but pictured above is Kenya Moore, Phaedra Parks, Burruss, Nene Leakes, Porsha Williams-Stewart and Cynthia Bailey… noticeably absent? Kim Zolciak, who I told you months ago, won’t be involved as much this season.
[Sidebar: Is it ok for me to gloat and say 'I told you so!' yet about the newbies? Or are y'all still questioning my credibility?

Kandi and the RHOA crew visited Nene in Hollywood and took the photo on the set of “The New Normal.” I’m not sure if the ladies were merely visiting to show support or if it will be part of the show, but we’ll find out soon enough.

Watched the Braxtons last night,Tamar had a ponytail but no hairline..talk on that so she won’t do that again…knowing everyone wants to sport ‘hair’ nowadays it was just wack!!
jackie u crazy huh? lmaooooooooo
LOL,I just saw that! Where did her hairline go?????? hahahah
They all are looking fab, and, no Kim, good thing since Forrest Gump does not seem to feel too comfortable around black folks and she is just boring and a square peg, but, knowing how she rolls, Bravo is still paying her big bucks!
It’s great for the ladies to support NeNe, but aren’t they contractually prohibited from releasing cast info/photos before Bravo actually confirms the information?
Or is this a purposeful leak to see if the audience is feeling the combination of the new cast?
Doesn’t Andy Cohen go with the dude that’s producing the tv show? I heard they were a couple so maybe that’s how this little photo op was able to slip through. U know them gays got each other’s back like cats.
Anyway, I will be glad to see Kenya but that other chick I’m not feeling and I honestly think that maybe letting Sheree go was a bit of a mistake cuz the drama with Bob was just getting good and of course we want to see more of that house!
Glad Kim is gone. Bye to her and her wigs.
Fakedra can go. She is so boring she put the dead back to sleep. And she do that as a job apparently.
LOL "Got each other’s backs like cats!" Too funny!
@ Kamalla: Chile, I don’t know, but you just gave me some behind the scenes tea. LOL!!!
All leaks promoting show like "The New Normal" and "Real Housewives of Atlanta" are good leaks
When will RHOA start? Can’t wait to see what happens between Cynthia and Kenya : )
The ladies probably have to make an appointment to speak to Ne Ne now that she is a television star.
Kenya Moore is apart of the cast now?
Thank gawd they got rid of Kim and her annoying ass husband if I had to hear her say "Croy" for another season IDK what I would do.
As long as NeNe is on the show I will watch I never thought I’d say this but I’m going to miss Sheree and her epic hating and antics. Hopefully this season will be entertaining.
Wait, I thought Nene and Kandi got into a fight or something? And Kim seems to be kinda loaking out. Maybe because she don’t want to face the music about her house being taken away.
phaedra lookn more and more like the good reverend. lol
Dont she though…
Po lil Tink Tink, I mean Sheree.
I know Sheree feel like a death row inmate on his last appeal.
I loved this show when it first came out the cast didn’t know the first thing about reality tv. I hope this ain’t a bunch of snobbish broads added to the cast it just won’t have that edge to it. Good thing the camera and Bravo producers show no love when something just ain’t right. Lol!
What is that on top of NeNe’s head…
I’m not sure but I think it’s albino.
Nene needs a new color for her hair. Her hair has no business being that blonde when she’s very dark. If she was high yellow she could get away with it. Those people in Hollyweird got her thinking that blonde mess is hot.
Am I the only person who always thought Cynthia was jealous of Kim….I don’t know why but it seems like she is….I think Cynthia was phony when it came 2 the Africa/black baby thing…how the hell can you not remember what you said about somebody??….women ALWAYS remember…..I never had a problem with Kim…I can’t wait 2 C what happens on the new season….Something tells me Chateau She by Sheree will be back though….
But Cynthia only told the truth. Kim wasn’t about to hold no dirty, crying, hungry, snot nosed orphan. Didn’t matter if it was Africa or Asia or Europe. She just snobby like that. I mean who brings their own wine to somebody else’s wedding and then worries about it getting stolen? For real? That heffa needed to go. All frontin’ like she had her own money when in reality she was bending over for credit cards.
You got that right. She just a "how turned housewife"….. and you know what they say?
@Kamalla…say what u want but they were halfway around the world so WHY was Kim’s name even coming out of her mouth in the first place…she didn’t have anything better 2 do in Africa than talk about Kim??…Nene is not jealous, she just doesn’t like Kim…but Cynthia is jealous & that’s why she don’t like Kim….jealousy is not an easy emotion 2 admit 2 or control….my personal opinion….
Is this Kim or Sweetie is that you?
Why would Cynthia ever be jealous of Kim…lol anyway. Kim is still on the show…she was always finding a reason to pull out of going places and hanging out. So, the comments were fair.
I hope Sheree makes a few appearances too…so we can see Chateau Sheree : )
No, I assure U this ain’t Kim or Sweetie, sweetie….I don’t care what anyone says…I know jealousy when I see it & Cynthia is jealous of Kim 4 whatever reason….halfway around the world & she’s bringing somebody’s name out of her mouth who is NOT there & has nothing 2 do with what ya’ll are doing there & then try 2 front like she don’t remember what she said(GTFOH)…then @ the reunion Cynthia said 2 Kim "I don’t know why you’re wearing that dress"…when Kim was one of the best dressed on the show & definitely looked better than Cynthia….I like them both but Cynthia is jealous of Kim…..no matter where Kim got her $$$ it’s HERS…overall she has more style and $$ than Cynthia & maybe that’s the problem…I don’t know but that’s just my observation…women don’t like 2 admit when there jealous of other women….instead they talk bad about them every chance they get…..like little girls in grade school….
Her house is right on the SMARTA bus line, we can all ride past and see her momma house.
i wont be watching….i liked the first season with lisa wu, deshawn snow, and kim..
looks boring now…
@Shad LOL If you say so.
I can’t see there being any drama with these ladies they will all try to out class the next one. Hell last season you see how Nene barely cut up so now she got Glee and the new Norm you know she gonna keep it classy. Let’s face it the show was big cause it was real drama. Now with a washed up beauty queen, two wanna be singers meaning this Porscha girl and Phaedra trying to stay prim and proper and Cynthia with her boring ass. I bet next season they get rid of everybody but Nene, kandi and Phaedra and start over watch and see. I say it’s gonna be a big rating the first few episodes and go down from there. I don’t know what bravo was thinking.
So you wanna keep seeing them act a fool? Is coonery really your thing? What’s wrong with being classy?
Oh and I miss Lisa and Ed. They were the realist couple on the show.
ATLien, any more news on their breakup? Was it official? Ed dating anybody? Lisa dating anybody? How the finances and custody work out?
Lisa is on to the next wallet and Ed is back to falling for pretty faces
Never say that Cynthia was jealous of Kim. Cynthia former model or who has been getting hers since teenager rolling with Russel Simmons having baby from Leon and proposed too my many others when Kim was flopping on "HOT or NOT" tricking for dollars. She just landed herself a second string Baby NFL player who just started getting paid. Her role has been reduced on RHOA but I heard she just got the green light for season 2 of her spin off. How in the hell I do not know. The only time people watched were to see her take off her wig and call the police on her momma for using the inside bathroom. So unfortunately the trash has just been moved to the side of the road but the garbage truck has not picked it up.
Atlien;
No questions over here, Baby!!!

Yes you told us so. I’m not as excited as I was before because last season to me was kinda boring.
[...] “Real Housewives Of Atlanta” Season 5 Cast Revealed [...]
Notice, NeNe is the only original housewife and the only "break-out" star. She had more drive and ambition than the others.
I used to watch this faithfully, but I don’t think I will. Nene will always be my gurl, good to see her getting this money. I love Phaedra but no one in the world can tell me any different, that the real reason she got married was because she was pregnant. I used to adore Kandi, but birds of a feather flock together-her running round the A with The Georgia Prune Rasheeda and Lil Wayne’s 1st baby mama has made me give her major side eye. I never cared about Kim,Cynthia is faker than her collection of wigs, and God Bless these new chicks if they get in the middle of this cats and their prefabricated drama frm 3 seasons ago.
*this cast
They need to bring Marlo back.
marlo did keep it somewhat exciting!
honestly, this should be their finale. the crew is changing too much. nene is too uppidy for me now.
cynthia is a bone head. when a muthafucker tells you that this isnt our business, this is my business and you are financially supporting it…
peter, to me, comes of abusive to me. it is a reason cynthia sister has so much hate for this dude. even the mama wanted to interfere with the wedding. so come on now, dont play us for stupid. please dont.
phaedra is cool, but her trying to be this overly christian women, but when she is around the girls…a big ass freak sucking on a pickle taking a pregnancy picture…what the fuck? let’s knock that off. pick a pew in the church and have a seat!
and kandi…what can i say about this chick. oh yes, hoeing pays. enough said!
will i be watching it next season…you gahdamn right…nothing else is on..LOL
i stopped watching this show long ago. its too boring and fake. basically its a snooze fest. bravo needs to do a complete revamp of characters. theyre basically played out
I am eager to see what this cast will bring.
I will miss Sheree big time. Still think axing her was a mistake, but maybe one of the new members will give me that biting wit that Sheree did.
Nene I enjoyed more last season because she was more diplomatic and had matured. Other than that, I actually think Nene is not that interesting to watch at times. She has her good moments, but often she seems fake and flat.
So the pic suggests that Kim will not be on this season. That would make sense, she is too far removed from the rest of the group. She should not be given two seasons to pull the same game.
Good that a real beauty is a part of the cast, (Kenya). Speaking of looks, i think Khandi is soo ugly. She looks like a boy w/makeup and hair. And why is she a part of this show anyway. She always bringing something up about the girls and gossiping. But damn!, you BETTER NOT talk about her!…. ‘I COULD TAKE CARE OF EV’R ONE OF YALL M’F… IF I WANIT TOO!’ (from the reunion) lol… She erks me, she’ll soon be following behind sheree and kim, off…
Im tired of all these reality shows around women. I have my 2 or 3 that I watch and I have no room for anymore. RHOA is slowly going to be replaced if these new ladies dont keep my interest
I personally do not want to see any of the ATlanta Housewives get a spin off, especially Kim or Nene. Sheree Whitfield should be brought back to the show. Every show needs a "snitch" and she was good at it. Besides she needs the money so desperately. Kenya Moore is so stuck up, I hope Nene eats her alive. I don’t know anything about the other chic, I just hope she is going to bring the drama. My favorite will always be NeNe Leakes.As for Khandi and Phaedra good story lines to be developed those two keep us watching their business savvy and whorish ways. Cynthia needs to be exposed more there is a great story there…. the drama with Peter and Cynthia’s people.I really enjoyed Leon coming on the show.Why not bring Khandi’s baby daddy on too. No Spin OFFs! No body wants to see prejudiced Kroy and Kim without the RHOA cast members.
