Cynthia Bailey and her hubby Peter Thomas, who have taken on the role of the couple that keeps other couples “together,” decide to hang out with Phaedra Parks and her husband Apollo Nida after reading rumors of their pending “divorce” on a blog.

The cute couples took a field trip to Atlanta’s historic Clairmont Lounge, where they encountered a slew of elderly strippers.

The real “househusbands” of Atlanta need their own show… #RHOA

Check out the 5 things I learned from the MEN of RHOA + watch the full episode below…
I’m super duper tired of the Kenya Moore “40 & desperate & single” storyline and I know you all are too, so as I stated earlier, my five things focuses on the men of RHOA this week.
1. Peter Thomas is messy… but we already knew that.
It seems that Mr. Thomas is the reigning DRAMA KING this season. Not only did he provide the spark that caused Walter Jackson to explode during their last night in Anguilla, but Peter also was the one who brought up that Phaedra & Apollo were getting “divorced” after he read it online. *sigh*
I hate to say it… but keep up the good work Peter!! I’m loving that you’re making this season entertaining for us!
2. Apollo Nida is foine… But we already knew that too.
He also makes up words like “juvial” and doesn’t live by “a sector of the time scale” (whatever that means).
Because of Apollo’s good looks and tight physique, he’s even being pimped out featured in Phaedra’s new donkey booty video series, since he’s been certified as a personal trainer.
[WATCH: Apollo Works Out in "Donkey Booty Sneak Peek" + Promo Shots & Purchase Info... ]
In the last episode, Kenya tries her hand again by flirting with Phaedra’s husband during a meeting to market their new workout videos.
Rumor has it that Kenya wasn’t a part of the final project because she tried to steal Phaedra’s idea and start her own “Stallion Booty” series… but you didn’t hear that from me!
Apollo earns his keep this week by griping about his wife Phaedra to Peter, while Kordell Stewart looks on like he wants to eat him up. (I’ll get to him in a minute). The “divorce” drama all ends with Apollo and Phaedra slobbing each other down in front of the entire crew.
Lawd…. Phaedra & Apollo probably made that new baby that night! LMAO straightfromthea.com/2012/12/28/new… #RHOA

3. Kordell Stewart is a bit “suspect” and likes to be in the middle of housewives business…
[READ: Gay Rumors Plagued Kordell Stewart's NFL Career... ]
Unlike Peter, who is messy with a purpose, it’s almost like Kordell wants to be the “housewife” in his relationship. I dunno if you caught it, but Kordell got checked twice by other housewives during the episode!
Once by Kenya, who noticed Kordell monitoring her conversation, and politely asked him to skedaddle while she and Porsha had words. And next by Cynthia, who noticed that Kordell was a bit too involved in female chatter.
At some point, Kordell even told Porsha that if she apologized to Kenya one more time, HE would have a problem with it.
Now I know that’s his wife… BUT at what point should Porsha be able to resolve her own conflicts with her female “friends” without Kordell getting involved. None of the other married women have that problem on the show and I know through personal experience that most married men prefer to stay outta their wive’s petty arguments with their female friends.
But maybe Kordell & Porsha are a part of the “new normal”…. I digress.
4. Walter Jackson (sigh) – What can be said that hasn’t already been said?
Jackson was utterly disrespectful to Kenya during this episode but we already know he’s not really feeling her “like that”.
I’m just waiting to see if RHOA producers are gonna let Kenya call him “gay” on national television…
[READ: The Crazy Truth About Kenya & Walter... ]
And while we all know that their relationship was never as “serious” as Kenya made it out to be, I honestly can’t fathom her agreeing to be made a fool of for the cameras like that. Walter “READS” Kenya so bad during their “lunch date” that she really should have got up and left!
So @kenyamoore dayum near tried to kill @porshadstewart for calling her old but sat & took all that from Walter? Chile puh-lease! #RHOA

5. Last but not least… umma lump Todd Tucker & Greg Leakes in the same category (for now).
Todd cleans up well and looks good in all white. He and Kandi invited Phaedra & her pastor into their new home to bless the place and Phaedra decides to bring up marriage.
It seems that after being exposed to Kenya’s desperate energy, Kandi doesn’t even want to go there right now. So she avoids the conversation.
[PHOTOS: Atlanta "Reality" Couples Hit The Bahamas... ]
And “O.G.” Greg didn’t make an appearance last night.
Watch the full episode…
What did you think of this most recent RHOA episode?
That kiss told it all. Phaedra is a nasty freak. Everyone knows a REAL SOUTHERN woman, doesn’t kiss and tell or put her business on tv????
LOL, that was a straight up projects for a couple of coins kiss for real, she about as much a Southern Belle as Honey boo boo’s mama, that kiss was just nasty.
Lol
I’m sure that was for the Freddy O lol
I wonder if Apollo is having issues with dealing with being on the show, business out there. It’s probably alot on him. So, I wouldn’t put to much into it.
Cordell uhh yeah…
I didnt understand kordell talking to his wife about how black peter is it was in poor taste imo.Kenya storyline is gettibg boring though walter is no trophy to be fallen over. Phaedra and apollo were definitely kissing for damage control. I like cynthia and peter esp since he is stirring the pot.
True, Kordell is almost as ‘black’ and needs to keep that sort of self hate off the TV, but, that’s what Bravo wants and he should be as handsome as Peter…
Um, Kordell SAID he was dark, he said he was "black" but Peter was blue black, and that’s nothing new, many of people have made that INNOCENT blue-black JOKE, JOKE, JOKE!!!!!!
Kordell has JOKED about his looks, his color, DAMN!!!!!!
Sensitive people really do RUIN the world by making simple, care-free comments into DRAMATIC overly-severe situations.
DANG!!!
The guy was just joking with his wife, like when Nene was joking with Gregg about how little Apollo.
Couples, Friends, family, WHATEVER talk about people together and laugh at other people ALL THE TIME, when did talking about someone with your friend become a self-hate crime. Calling somebody blue black is as old as Comic View, Def Comedy Jam and Bernie Mac may have even said it before, joking about how dark someone is is not a new thing nor is it an automatic insult, there’s many "blue-black" people who are gorgeous, attractive features and amazing skin, I went to middle school with someone "blue-black" and she was stunning like a model, but she was very dark, and so what, nothing to be offended about if someone mentions it, if you can’t speak about how dark someone is then I guess you can’t speak about how pale/light someone is???? There were episodes of Martin where they mentioned how light Gina was…was that hatred?
There wasn’t any damn self-hate, that was an old old old joke being made, period
I’ve seen Pete in person he is a sex silky black senior,,,your saying a little too much here youre anti defending,,,anyways I thinking calling a black man a silver back is the problem because a silver back is an animal and Pete is not a beast…but no one got that line because calling blacks monkeys or gorilla is just a old fashion joke hun???
I didn’t see the episode, but I will now. So I can’t speak to that, but based on the comments, if Kordell merely said one thing about Peter’s skin it would be one thing, but if he went as far as the Black as a Gorilla thing that’s messed up. I guess we all can’t hold hands and sing Kumbaya but we need to accept all of our shades. Growing up we had from the lightest to the darkest and it was ok…Myself, I happen to like my coffee with NO milk and I’m dark. And no disrespect to my lighter tone brothers…. Gotta go watch that episode now….
1. A husband SHOULD be able to talk to his wife about any and everything, what’s not to understand. He he wanted to talk to her about Peter, and she’s his wife/friend, why would he NOT talk to her, people generally talk to their friends about whatever, that’s normal. And he wasn’t "talking" about Peter in a poor taste way, he made a joke and he used himself as a comparison and he LIKES peter so shame on you people for trying to take that petty, simple, nothing joke to an uncalled for negative place. Anybody overly sensitive over conversations about dark skin tone really needs to seek professional guidance because that’s just insane to think it’s offensive to speak about someone’s dark skin color, as if dark skin tone is offensive, if you felt that was offensive then you’re the problem. It’s in poor taste to joke about dark skin tone, well is it in poor taste to joke about light skin tone?
Well @lilyee I would have to disagree with you. I’ve studied psychology for some time now andKordell’s "joke" was in piss poor taste and I’m not being over sensitive I’m being real with you.
It’s clear to anyone who watched that scene that Kordell has some deep rooted issues about color. He was probably discriminated against or treated differently when he was growing up because of his darker skin tone.
Sadly many Black men and women do this. We are the one’s who segregate each OTHER according to our skin tone. Black men and Black women with with money are especially prone to these issues and many seek a lighter skinned mate. Look at Oprah, Kanye, Kordell, and just about any other professional athlete and/or entertainer and you will notice the similarities in their choice of mates.
Even Phaedra Parks and Apollo.
I’m not trying to turn this into a race debate but again, Kordell referring to Peter as Blurple was his way of lowering Peter’s status to his wife. The conversation was uncalled for and the mere fact that he brought it up showed that he consciously thought about color/class differences and therefore, HE is the one with color issues.
And that’s just my educated opinion.
that is silly, so anyone who dates a light skin person, has color issues. so light skin people arent’t to be loved for their personality, character, etc, only for their complexion. u really need to rethink that comment. I agree with Lilyee. they can make all kind of comments about light skin people but when someone said something about dark skin people it is a issue.
I agree with this post totally. That "color complex" is coming thru, loud and clear. I have members of my family who have this issue. I have a set of cousins who are the prettiest chocolate sistas I’ve ever seen, but are so ashamed of their skin because of the childhood taunts. They will date and marry nothing but light-skinned men, and turn their nose up at darker complexions. SMDH.
"so anyone who dates a light skin person, has color issues."
No Aries that’s not what I said and I will not allow you to twist my words. As quoted above – "Black men and Black women with with money are especially prone to these issues and many seek a lighter skinned mate. " Nowhere in my post did I state that light skinned people can’t be loved for their personalities. Just I never stated that darker skinned people can’t be loved for theirs.
It is when THE PERSON mentions color or makes it a "preference" that it is an issue in our community. You can agree with Lilyee all you want, but facts or facts and this issue has been in the Black community well before you were born and will continue well after you and I are gone.
Read up on your Black history and you will understand where it comes from. It’s an unfortunate after effect of slavery.
correction to my 2nd paragraph:
Just *AS* I never stated that darker skinned people can’t be loved for theirs.
But….Kordell isn’t with a super light woman, Portia is pecan tan or a pretty brown tone..I don’t know Kordell personally but it sounded like he was joking…Your post reads as being uber sensitive…
Oh and I just wanted to add that people only have an issue with skin tone preferences when it’s referring to a light skinned person..I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard sisters say I don’t date light skinned brothers or I love a dark man(I’ve said that myself) and nobody gets all up in arms and nobody is accused of hating themselves..I think just like some people don’t like fat women or skinny women, people can prefer people with different skin tones….AND NO I don’t believe it means they hate themselves or they are color struck…#imoofcourse
u said ppl w/ money date light then used kordell as an example ?porshas dark. as adark female i took it as a simple joke.
Are you watching a tube tv? It’s time you switched to hi-def because Porsha is NOT dark or chocolate brown. She is as beige as they come! SMH!
I implore you re-visit the scene where Kordell jokes about Peter being dark.
One comment about Peter being dark?
Okay, that’s cool.
Trying to find the words for his exact shade?
A little over the top.
Comparing Peter’s shade of darkness to his own?
Sounds like some issues here.
But the final straw….he then calls Peter, a grown ass man, a SILVERBACK!! He says that Peter is as BLACK as a damn GORILLA! Then proceeds to call the man SILVERBACK to his face the next time they all get together. Kordell has a color complex and sadly many others do too. He didn’t just make one remark, HE WENT IN! I think that Kordell is jealous of Peter and needed to point out the man’s [BEAUTIFUL] dark skin to make himself feel superior. SAD!
I agree with everything you said. Some of us are sooooooo quick to take offense when something is not stated in a way that is complimentary to them. I believe Kordell was referring to the silver in Peter’s beard, and not him resembling an animal. And if he were, all of us with eyes knows that Peter does NOT look anything of the such.
Peter is so ugly. Ugh. & what a terrible personality. Cynthia could do so much better.
Kenya fine as hell tho.. I’ll wife her
It was a good show and I agree with Michelle, something is suspect about Walter. Kenya is soft when it comes to dealing with him and he is just an asshole to her.
Walter is ugly and funny looking and constantly talks down to her while bobbing his head all around like a bobble head. At first I believed Walter but it seems like it’s no way she is not in it for marriage.
He’s washed up and tired and I think if he doesn’t want her or marriage then why doesn’t he just say and go to the next dumb young girl who he’d have to pay to be with him?
I think he is lying to her to be on the show. He is the worst kind of man. I wasn’t a fan of Kenya but I think there is more to her from what I thought at first.
It’s starting to look like she’s playing to keep a "relationship" for the show.
A Kenya type ..shouldn’t be so desperate…I’m just not buying the whole thing. I wonder how her aunt feels about all this. disappointed I’m sure. Have some self respect…and no one is feeling sorry for you.
I thought the show was good and I agree that the husbands are helping to make it more interesting this season. I completly forgot about Peter and Apollo’s previous beef, because they get along so well! The strip club scene was hilarious! I wasn’t feeling how Cynthia kept prying as far as Phaedra and Apollos relationship though. I mean if they said its good then leave it at that cause at a certain point it looks like you are digging and hoping to find something. That comment she made about her and Peter possibly being the last ones standing made me look at her sideways,cause again, what are you hoping for. Out of the mouth the heart speaks…..moving on…Kandi and Todd… I thought it was nuts to have a man of the cloth come and bless your house, when by biblical standards you are living in sin. Honestly the pastor shouldn’t have agreed to do it considering they are supposed to have morale standards and all, but I digress as it clearly appeared to be more important for him to come on camera and stunt in his shades expensive suit and be seen. Kenya and Walter…..it’s clear to me that Walter is the one lying.. Not only does he not like her, but he appears to be repulsed by her. I really do think what turns him off is her age. She’s pretty but she’s to old for him. Porsha and Kordell… They don’t add anything to the show and hard as she tries she just doesn’t fit in.
Yana love the blog this are my thoughts as well…I totally agree with you but I like Cordell & Porscha… I like your blog also because you don’t name call….I also like it that you don’t feed into the rumors but if you do you don’t mention them…i.e." gay rumors"… Everyone has a pass whether its true or not…
I never heard the rumors about kordell and I just don’t care there are so many rumors about athletes, celebrities and many others that are unfounded I will not entertain that he’s seems extremely happily married and that’s what really matters.
Girl you said a mouthful…………….Man of the cloth blessing the house of shacking, singing dildos and plastic vaginas BOL!!!
LOL…But, we are all still Gods children Let’s remember that.
Good point about Kandi, Yana. And Portia. I’m just not digging that girl AT ALL!
OMG I’m so glad I’m not the only one who picked up on Ms. Kordell last night LMAO!!!
Hopefully next season he’ll be in the center holding a peach feuding with Nene!!!
Ratings through the roof!!!
One word can sum up this entire episode…yuck!! From the grandma strippers to that disgusting kiss at the end!! I had to wipe my tv off with clorox after that shit!!
LOL
LOL
Walter looked as if he wanted to throw up all over Kenya in that scene. He was reading the hell out of her. It is quite clear he does not like older women. She needs to move on. Never liked Fakedra so wont comment on anything concerning her. SMH at the pastor going to bless a home where the residents are living in biblical sin……whatever. I loooove Peter and Cynthia, and of course Nene. Porshe and Kodell are alright.
I laughed at that ish too! How you gonna bless a house when the co-habitants clearly fornicating?
It just seems odd that Kenya would allow herself to look like a fool at the hands of Walter. If he agreed to pretend they were serious, then he decides to go left, then she should have dropped him & moved on… she’s attractive, she can find another guy to date.
That leads me to believe that just maybe there’s more to it than we thought. He could be lying… that, or she doesn’t mind playing the victim even if it means she looks like an embarrassment.
Sadly Walter was right in this episode. Kenya is NOT wife material and no matter how hard she tries, she will never be in his eyes or any other man’s eyes.
Her desperation shows in her glances and until she seeks professional therapy to address her issues of abandonment from her mother, Kenya will forever be that "good time" girl because her psyche tells her that’s all she is.
I think even if Walter was dating her, he soon realizes that she’s cookoo & decides to scale back but doesn’t drop her completely; maybe because of the show.
But her desperation is ‘ON Display’ she is the definition of THIRSTY!!! I can’t believe taht she ever thought she was in a committed relationship with Walter and then went out and flirted HEAVILY with other men. She can’t have thought that, she was keeping her options open, cause the only attention she understands is male attention taht she seeks.
Kenya is a nice looking lady, but she’s too thirsty and Walter was correct calling her out about being ‘wife’ material, not only becuase she’s never been married, but who wants their wife to flirt with every man that’s in her path? I’m knowing my husband doesn’t, and I don’t think there are many out there that do
Maybe I’m the only one but I didn’t enjoy the episode. It seems like a bad déjà vu because the same conversations are repeated on every damn episode.
Your recap is right on point. I’ve never liked Peter because he is a little catty bitch. He is more of a woman than Derek J and Miss Lawrence. Peter just doesn’t wear heels yet.
Walter is very conniving. He needs to play the part he was hired to do and shut up. Kenya is extra and obnoxious, but he takes too much pleasure in helping her look like a fool. He is indeed looking very suspicious.
You know why Bravo is depending on the House Husbands so much? It is because the ladies need all the help they can get to carry the show this season. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, this cast needs a major overhaul.
I agree-this is the worst cast ever. The ladies are boring as hell, with the exception of Kenya. Peter disgusts me as well, and I watch the show via my DVR solely to skip his scenes. And I guarantee Kenya dumped Walter back in the day when they did date-because he is on some revenge type mess. It makes no damn sense to be that hateful.
LOL…I agree. I think back when they were really dating…lol She probably wasn’t as into him….But, he’s in Atlanta and that’s the only reason she’s making a fool of herself.
He knows that…and he’s like no I’m not gonna be able to do it -do y’all remember that song? lol
I can’t…I over the Walter story.
Go ahead and admit, the cast was much more interesting with Kim in the mix. Pure Dee entertainment…
Forgot this. Apolllo is a decent looking dude, but I hate when he speaks. His speech is complete country nonsense. He’s that type of dude who is in your bed running his mouth and you have to tell him, "baby don’t talk, just do."
Say what, you ain’t never lied lol. I was like, "What the hell is ‘juvial?’" You mean jovial?
I text my sister when he said it because i got confused for a minute. Lol.
hilarious! lol!
LOL….say that thing!!
lol..That’s the NeNe I always knew was there. I’ve always liked her.. I do think it was Kim and her wigs that got under her skin. All them skrip clubs in Atlanta…and she chose that one. #dead
I did not have a problem with Kordell being right beside Porsha. I think he knows his wife, I think he wanted to make sure nothing popped off, and wanted to check out what Kenya had to say that kept his wife on edge all the time. My hubby would have been right there too making sure I didnt pop nobody. LOL
I agree. I didnt see a problem with it either. And i really dont see a problem with him telling her not to bring it up again because it’s over. Thats how most men are anyway at least i think they are. Its like you’ve said enough now drop it.
I had a problem with him hovering. Agree with Cynthia. That’s between those two women…his ass should’ve been getting another drink or something.
I do agree, let it go.
He was in true queen form this episode. I agree, he needs to find him a drink or two and get the hell on somewhere. I think the reason he’s all in it is because he knows his wife ain’t about that life AT ALL, and doesn’t want her to act the part too much, knowing she can’t back a word she has said up.
I agree. The reason Kordell was hovering over Porsha was because he is probably afraid that she will say something stupid on camera. Unfortunately for him, the damage has already been done and even he, himself, has been made to look less than stellar on film.
It will be interesting to see how the producers "edit" them for the remainder of the season. It’s clear they were only chosen because of their issues. SMH
I don’t know where Ms. Kordell comes from calling Peter BLACK like that. That was totally uncalled for and bytch-like in delivery. That "man" ain’t no wayz pretty. In fact, he’s fugly in the face. And those bumps on his face . . . please.
Appollo looks like a damn owl. Light skin does not automatically equal "pretty." (Amd I like my men light, dark, inbetween – just be a damn MAN. Moreover, I always thought his IQ level was highly questionable. Watching him last night confirmed my suspections. And that comment last week about "dookie" — what grown man talks like that? Maybe he can screw like a champ. Most likely that’s why Phaedra’s freakish a$$ "keeps" him. That kiss at the end was just all kinds of nasty. Not a good look — period!
As for that witch-on-a-broom-in-broad-daylight Kenya and her "man" Mr. Walter. It is clear that he is not the least bit attracted to her. And I do believe they were in cohoots to scam Bravo about their relationship. But it didn’t pan out the way she planned it and once Bravo caught on they edited her ass sweetly. That bytch need ta go!
So true, its not as if Kordell is ‘light skinned’ himself can’t even make out those ink blobs he calls tattoos, and, I for one think Peter is one handsome man and I love his skin tone.
Walter, big old head and not at all easy on the eyes, well, other than for thirsty women.
I don’t find Peter attractive, but I love his skin. I REALLY love Cedric the Entertainer’s skin. Smooth, dark chocolate. Wanna just like the side of his face lol.
Just kidding.
(but not really)
Right! Kordell looks like a black Frankenstein to me so he need NOT talk about anyone! Ever!
@DaLooker….I know that’s right… let’s start with you just acting like a Man. Then we will get into the rest.
lol..Walter is not my type to look at, talk to or nothing else. But, some women have self esteem issues. lol I think they were in cohoots…and she said something about him maybe being gay…so, he tried it…lmao
I think he took some of the truth and put his own stank on it to make her look bad…as if she don’t look bad enough..lol js
I’m glad u got on Kordell’s skin. It amazes me how his wife always has something to say about Kenya’s age and bumps, but won’t help her old ass husband clear his up. And although Peter turns my stomach, he has a beautiful complexion. Ms. Kordell needs to stop that hate.
I agree. Kordell hates his color and skin tone. that is why he chose to discuss it the way he did and also why he chose to compare his skin tone to Peter’s.
Peter is dark and beautiful and has been on the show for many years. He has NEVER compared his skin tone to another cast member because it’s clear that he doesn’t have those deep rooted issues like Kordel.
Kordell is hiding a lot. It may or may not be his sexuality, but he definitely isn’t happy with himself.
This post….TRUTH!
Peter and Apollo know darned good and well they don’t go to the Clairmont Hotel to see those old ladies strippin’. They know they hang out at Diamonds or Magic City (LMAO @ Clairmont Hotel “working girls”).
Hell yeah!!! I was thinking, these niggas know damn good and well they don’t go see no white chicks strip at that dusty as hole in the wall. They wanted to keep their creep spots on the low. I bet Phaedra done had some "strange" at da club too. Especially after that nasty ass kiss that left my tv smelling like mouf (that’s right…mouf not mouth…MOUF!)
LMAO@"mouf"
Did anyone catch when Porsha asked Kordell why his lips were so shiny. Lol. I totally agree with Yana. I am not sure why that pastor came to the house and they shacking. Really? I dont know what to say about Kenya and Walter except that his on air personality is awful and he is funny looking.
Kenya has insecurity issues and that’s evident on how she deals with women and how she allowed Walter to talk down to her..she attempts to portray herself as strong but she’s another weak woman who refuses to see herself like everyone else does..for a moment I couldn’t stand Kenya..now all I do is pity her
@2bme- ^^^^Agreed!!!!
agree. i feel bad for kenya
Your comment struck me because I said the same thing up above. Kenya is a sad woman who needs to seek therapy. She probably feels like she is successful, however the issues from her past are preventing her from forming close friendships (male or female). She should have never agreed to do this show because regardless of her "acting" abilities, her true personality is showing in the form of glances and face twitching. Some things we just can’t hide. Our mind won’t ALLOW us to hide our true feelings.
Kenya’s issues are compelling and make for great tv. What makes her attempts to look strong any different from any of the rest of the cast? They are bullies, liars, promiscuous, weak-willed and delusional. Kenya is not perfect and she is most certainly entertaining. When I think about it, this season would be boring without her.
Kordell act like one of the housewives. When Porsha and Cynthia was talking about the Kenya situation he had way too much to say. All he need is a dress and a wig.
Im really starting to like Peter wit his messy ass lol. I died when he called Kordell a hammerhead shark on twitter.
Im so #teamporsha but I too got so sick of her trying to "discuss the issue and move forward." Obviously, Kenya doesn’t like you and reads you about your "immaturity" every time she get a chance. I wouldn’t have gave her another minute of my life!
Kenya is a mess. A thristy, parched, arid, acne prone mess that needs to "take her legacy" to heart and understand that for all she’s accomplished…uhm..you’re gonna be known as that crazy bytch from the real housewives franchise and that is not the bizness!
Apollo had the liquor talking and when he sobered up….he realized he better sat the hell down cuz Phaedra is not the one. Hence…another baby and on w/ their lives.
Kordell & Procha…What the hell was that Peter is black comment? What??? I hope when Peter sees this he address this. I’m sure that her "grandfather’s legacy" wouldn’t look at her comment or her husband’s comments as being too favorable. (they both need to have a damn love \_____! )
That strip club??? OMG….those aarp puzzies were a mess! C’mon Bravo? You’ll show black women acting an ignorant fool but buxom, athletic, talented stripper dancers can’t be shown??? I see you all for who you are.
lockstress,
I’m so glad that someone else peeped how Bravo would not film at any one of a hundred REAL strip clubs in ATL that has beautiful black women performing and mesmerizing men of all color, EVERY night of the week! And I’m mad at the sellout cast (Cynthia,Peter, et al) for not refusing to even be seen in that 3rd circle of hell pig farm they called the "Cabaret Lounge". It was beyond disgusting and insulting to a city notorious for its "bad bitch" strippers.
RIIIGH! It should’ve been call the Cabaret Waiting Room. They were all waiting to croak! Ew…
I’m sorry but I must have misunderstood this, are you seriously saying that Bravo should have filmed "beatiful black women stripping"? I was thankful that they did NOT! What is really going on….
Amen, show them degrading themselves!
I SOOO AGREE WITH YOU CLTdiva!!!
Let’s remember…Some of those black,white, green and yellow men are not informing their wives that they are in these clubs…It probably would be hard for Bravo to get rights to film there too. That being one of the main reasons. Don’t nobody wanna see no stank strippers…lol I thought it was nice the old stank strippers are still active : )
LOL
Good morning, last night was a good episode and I agree I like the husbands too. I’m sorry but I agree with Kordell. Porsha has attempted to make amends with Kenya. Kenya is a bytch. And I agree with him telling her, now that’s it if you apologize again we are going to have a problem. It makes Porsha look weak…IMO…
I agree. She tried so leave it alone…
Portia makes up stories every week she never apologized to Kenya even theoug Kenya read that dumb ass Kenya was the only one who apologized.
So for that you get dueces. And how Cordell Frankenstein looking ass gone say Portia apologized 4 times? She always lying about what she did. He and Walter need a quick weave and a purse.
How Cordell gone call somebody Blurple he and his young tender act like silly little kids.
I feel sorry for Apollo and that prison story. Seems like he and Phaedra don’t match.
I’m not sure why Kenya is sweating(old baby teeth)Walter! I thought most chicks know that men dont like pressure wether it’s at work or w/a woman..Let the man do the hunting chile!As for Apollo..he dont need to be loose on the streets drunk lol not the way he shoved his tounge down Phaedra’s mouth.
I like Kandi and Todd eventhough he shouldnt be living w/Kandi,they’re cute together. Kordell..well I think he was just trying to protect his wife and a lil tipsy too..
I think as far as Kordell goes, the sense I got was that he was sick of hearing Porsha talk about Kenya all the time. As her husband, he’s the one that has to listen to all the b*tching and moaning when they’re at home. From his standpoint, she tried to apologize, it wasn’t gracefully accepted, so he wants her to stop talking about it and move on.
I think he meant, he would have a problem with Porsha if it didn’t end, not with Kenya.
Yeah, that’s what I thought too. I feel like, he was doing his part as her husband and having her back. As far as him standing there while Porsha was talking to Kenya, again I think he was just making sure it went ok. Kenya is jealous and is a major hater b/c basically she wants what THEY all have and that’s a relationship/marriage. I want someone to take Walter to one of our great barbers here in Atlanta and give him a damn decent haircut……
Lmbo…..please get him a haircut
Yesssss – Walter’s haircut is a MEZZ!
I totally agree with you. Kordell told Porsha to let it go earlier in the episode. He also checked her in Anguilla, probably because he knows that she is confrontational. Kenya is older, probably stronger, and could be violent toward Porsha. There is nothing wrong with him looking out for his wife. Apollo did it when he got pissed at the comments Peter made about his wife last season. Peter did it when he found out some of the ladies had been degrading his wife the season before. Peter made comments in a magazine that eventually led to the confrontation with Apollo. I see nothing wrong with what Kordell did. Any good husband would do the same. And if any husband doesn’t personally take offense to anyone threatening or degrading their wife, there is something wrong. He is fine as long as he doesn’t stoop to certain levels. Kordell did not.
I so agree!!!!!!
Yaasss honey, Ms. Kordell was being a Queen, from gossiping about Peter to being all up in Portia and Kenya’s silly beef. He should have been over there with the other guys minding their boy-business.
Out of ALL of the strip clubs in Atlanta, I found it odd that they chose to shoot a scene at that white grandma strip club. What was that really about? Where the guys afraid that their jumpoffs would cause a scene at the black strip clubs?
Phaedra stays scheming. She got pregnant when all of the rumors started that he had moved out and times where getting tough after that book came out. Having another baby won’t keep Apollo. He sounded like he was miserable with Phadrea last night and that kiss was nothing more than damage control.
Girl, Peter knew exactly what he was doing when he took her to the Father Time Geritol strip club. He wouldn’t DARE take her to HIS strip club. Where do the celebs go down there? Magic City? He took her to the most ratchet place so she wouldn’t want to come with him anymore. If he frequents that club I do, and I’ve never touched foot in Atlanta. He knows that if she saw the bitches that dance for him, she’d never let him go back.
I didnt think about that. Makes sense.
EXACTLY! He knew what he was doing by keeping her away from his real spots. And Cynthia is delusional if she thinks all men hang out at strip clubs. No they don’t. Only the ones looking to get into "no good" go ALL THE TIME. If the strip clubs are his "office" then Cynthia and Phaedra’s problems are bigger than they know. What kind of "business" does married men have at the strip clubs where they need to be there all the time?
I thought Cynthia picked that club? But, feel what youre saying. As long as you re not dropping(OUR) money at the office. I don’t care. lol
@ Shay Shay- you speak the truth!
qagreed! and cynthia is too dumb to realize that! ugh! she’s an idiot!
agreed
Peter didn’t choose that club. Cynthia said she chose it.
And are Peter and Apollo using their allowance money at these strip clubs? How do you ask your wife on TV for a money then brag about being in a strip club? Did Peter pay Cynthia back the $10,000 he borrowed before they got married? And how in the hell does Apollo earn and income? Will he get a W2 this year? SMH at these tragic men. The two brokest men on the show bragging about being in the strip club. Cynthia and Phaedra should both be ashamed. I’m ashamed for the both of them. Other than that I find the men on the show more interesting than they women this season.
LMAO!! Ain’t that the damn truth!! Neither of their money is long enough to have privileges to be up in the strip club 24/7 and coming home whenever they feel like it. Apollo has had about 10 different "job titles" since he’s been on the show.
LMBO @ the W-2 comment…that was hilarious!!!
Gurl, speak on it! Apollo never looks happy my opinion and they just don’t seem to have a connection. He is basically a trophy husband for Phaedra. She can pop out all the babies she wants, the fact remains that she got married because she was pregnant. Scheming on due dates and trying to appear perfect-he politely blew that image out of the water when he had a few drinks. She knew exactly what she was doing by getting pregnant again.
LOL. Yep. Phaedra made an age old mistake and she is going to pay (emotionally and financially) for it. You know what they say, you can put lipstick on a pig… The 2nd pregnancy might have been a mistake or to create drama but its just going to be that much harder for her.
Last night’s episode was ok to me…
Glad NeNe told thirsty ass to move on…
Kandi & Todd….cute couple but like Riley says next week…why did I just meet this man and now he lives with me…y’all all on Kenya being thirsty but Kandi is just as thirsty too…she is moving too fast…wants a man too bad..
Phaedra and Apollo…am I the only one who thinks that Apollo is not all that…he was acting like a woman talking about his wife…knowing his ass needs Phaedra to keep up his lifestyle…she stood by his jail bird ass…no talking…making up words ass
Wonder what’s going to be said at the reunion about all that smack that Kenya was talking in the confessional about how unorganized they were at the meeting about the video….
And…if Kenya has an active production company and knows so many men in the industry and out…why is she having so much trouble getting a man…that means that something clearly is wrong with you when no one wants to be bothered…
I know a lot ofpeople dont care for Wendy Williams but she mentioned that about Todd moving in so fast. I’m curious to hear what she has to say about that. I was like "you go Riley"
@ Michelle You are so crazy…lol did you say Peter is the shhh starter this season lol
It did seem like the couples were on front street….I like the episode.
Phaedra + Apollo…going at it…he making up words..lol …like me lol That kiss was nasty. I’m happy they are working things out and makin it work.
Kandi + Todd…blessing the house…I didn’t really get why the pastor wasn’t the one questioning them about their arrangement..but it’s tv. I almost get the feeling as well that they re keeping something from us..and it’s going to play out on the show. like a proposal.
Cynthia + Peter I like Cynthia this season…she had me tickled when she questioned Peter about going to strip clubs..at the health food store. And of all the strip clubs in Atlanta…she picked that one. lol
Porsha + Kordell Both crazy…he does seem like he will bring the drama for his wife…cause he probably thinks Porsha can’t handle things for herself. Kenya was looking like..Oh, no go somewhere. lol But, that’s not what men should do. And the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice….in case you didn’t know. Was I the only one that saw those bullet wounds on his back and chest? I’m just asking..lol
Kenya + Walter Walter please go away lol
Kenya should know by now that everyone is not gonna act in a professional manner…that was uncalled for to say about Phaedra and Apollo…not to mention you just came off vacation with them…maybe they see you as a friend. She can be dramatic at times. Gone With The Wind Dramatic lol
NeNe’s Ebony Cover was cute and fitting for her.
Ms. Riley(Kandi’s daughter)…about to get crunk on the situation…lol Get her Riley…stop bring these men around me..until they put a ring on it.
*they re* *Miss*
I saw those wounds on his chest and back also, is it only me or does Porsha lie to her husband all the time when ever she recounts conversation between her and the other housewives! I think the blessing of the house was Phaedra’s idea not Kandi’s.
YES! Porcha lies to make herself look good. Young and messy. But she has her husband and he seems to love her so…
Porscha lies but Kordell knows it. That’s why he was standing there listening, so he could hear it for himself. He knows Porscha is the problem, he told her so in Anguilla (or whereever they were). She always acts like a victim and he knows better than that ish. She is CLUELESS and lucky to have him. Kandi is THIRSTY. I think she and Todd are a good couple but if you don’t go about things in a certain order, it’s doomed to fail.Phaedra is getting what she paid for. Like Walter, Apollo is a paid performer. He just looks better but is definitely a dumb actor. I didn’t miss Nene when her segments weren’t on. She is dressing better but she is old and ugly. Whats worse is she’s on there with supermodels. Where does she fit in?
Yes she does. I caught that.
Boy do I miss Sheree and Kim.
Kim will be back…next season. prolly moving..yet again. Maybe Sheree too… : ) Who’s gonna check Bravo…Boo..lol
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SHEREE!! I’m really not a fan of Kim OR Sheree but it would be nice to see them come back (i like the drama).
Kordell wants Apollo to kiss him like that too
Kenya behaved like a total tramp last night and to me she disrespected the guy she was with throughout the entire show. They are all messy to me, and how is Kim getting her own show-she’s boring! Also, am I the only one wondering why Apollo was in protective custody for 16 months….he wasn’t a hardened criminal, it was theft????
I was thinking the same thing too
Probably solitary confinement. Sounds like ole boy may have been on suicide watch or something of that nature. Don’t know why he wouldn’t see the light of day otherwise.
And Porsha isn’t a good fit for the show at all. And Kim told 75 lies at that table in less than 5 minutes, white girl gets her own shown.
Ok, I can relate to Phaedra. YES.
what was so wrong with Phaedra & Apollo’s kiss? they ARE married you know- and just why did freaky azz Kandi find it so appalling when she has said and admitted to doing worse with guys she has just met? you filmed and flaunted getting f-ed in a hot tub on TV, but yet you tell a married couple to "get a room!" ?
good point! maybe Kandi was joking…lol
1. Peter knows doggone well he doesn’t go to those types of strip clubs, he took Cynthia to that one to throw her off bcz the ones he goes to is probably 1000x better 2. I don’t see a problem with Kordell standing there with his wife because he knows that by her keep bringing it up & discussing it, its gonna lead to something even worse. Like he told her in Anguilla its over & done w/ so leave it alone. 3. I can not take Walter’s face & voice. Ughhh its so annoying. Kenya can do alot better than him. 4. I can not understand why Cynthia would say that her & Peter may outlast them all when we see what really goes on & how he speaks to her. To save face for camera they put on a front. 5. Every marriage goes through things. Hence "for better or worse", its letting love be the reason you make it work… And being that Phaedra is very much pregnant, it’s obvious that made it work.
I do not like Porsha AT ALL! Her & her wife (yes wife) get on my nerves. I’m gonna start muting the TV during their scenes like I did with Kim Z.
I don’t get why Kenya had to fake a relationship to be on the show. Sheree never had a man on the show & Kim had somebody else’s man that was never seen. Kenya could’ve used ‘looking for love’ as her story line.
Brooklyn, I can’t stand Porsha either! She is dumb! I like Kordell, though.
Kenya had to fake the relationship to have an excuse to move to ATL. It blew up in her face but her issues make for drama so its a win.
Of course i dont know if this is true but i think i heard or read somewhere that the producers wanted her to have a man. But i see your point about Kim and Sheree. For all we know Bravo was in on the whole thing.
Sheree was divorced (with kids). Kim was divorced (with kids). Kandi was a grammy award winning singer (with a child).
Can you see the common denominators?
I believe in the housewives franchise, the women have to have 1)family, 2)relationships 3) careers.
Kenya didn’t have kids or a relationship and she had to have one or the other (or both) to be on the show.
I don’t see her being brought on to the cast without a child OR a husband. It just wouldn’t make sense. Where does the housewife part come in?
I get that but you have to be MARRIED in order to be a housewife…Kandi, Kim in the beginning, nor Sheree were married. And I’m basing that off of the title of the show…nothing more.
From the inception of the (OC) Housewives franchise, they always have at least 1 young single woman on the show. Her role was to date and find a husband so as to become a housewife. Sometimes it works and you get a wedding and sometimes it doesn’t work. Bravo goal is to get at least an engagement, a wedding or a vow renewal from each season on every franchise. Heck even Teresa and Joe had a vow renewal on NJ, but it never aired. They players change but the formulas always stays the same. Do you really think that Cynthia wanted to marry Peter with all of that crying and stress she was under? In the real world that marriage would not have even happened.
I could not get over them damn HEIFFERS at NeNe’s former STRIP CLUB! Them was some RAGGEDY A$$ (OLD A$$) B!TCHES! With ALL the strip clubs in Atlanta, they couldn’t hit up a better club?
I like porsha & cordell, but when he called peter "blurple"…that’s suspect! And I don’t e even know what to say about that strip club, but I do know this…if I ever need some quick cash ima take my ass to that club & put all of those old ass women to shame. Cause what I saw last night was enough to make me want to THROW UP! That shit was utterly disgusting. Kenya is a dumb btch. She must really hate herself because it shows all over her face. I hate people that play the victim role & I.hate she tried to play that role lase night so we can feel sorry for her about supposedly being involved in domestic violence.Someone probably did pop her in the lip for having a loose bowel smelling mouth…which she also reflects on the show. I sympathize with real domestic violence victims, but she’snot a victim. She’s the aggressor. Just a hoe!
& fakedra needs both her mama & daddy to both lay hands on her for all of that lying that she does. Just about everything she says is a lie & I wonder if her parents are ashamed of her for constantly telling lies. But I bet they turn the other cheek instead of calling her on all of those lies.
I’m loving me some Peter this season, he brings the laughter and keeps the conversations going when the men don’t. I think kordell is just letting his wife know that she doesn’t, need to try to fix things with or apology to Kenya let go let tow enough already. The man don’t his wife in no mo drama and I think that’s great. I personally think Kordell seems like a really cool and I think Porsha is a lucky lady. Apolla was actually lucky to meet Phaedra it changed his life for the better, he may not be good at speaking so well but Phaedra will have him taking college cources next "TRUST". Walter is loving his 15 minutes, if Walter wanted out he would have walked away from Kenya trying to hoodwinke and bamboozle his a°° into marrying her fix-a-flat booty. Walter is feeling hisself he can’t get enough of the camera he’s just stringing Kenya along for camera time. If Nene loves her some Greg and wants to make it work, then Greg you betta werk.
That kiss does not mean they are working it out. As Cynthia said damage control because that kiss was over-the-top.From the comments that were made, they have some problems and Phaedra need to bow out of the reality show monkery and focus on her family because getting pregnant don’t mean he will stay. I really do wish them the best because they do seem like they love eachother.
That strip club scene was funny as heck and if you really looked at it. The guys enjoyed themselves. Cynthia leaves no stone unturned and she researched that club. She knew unfortunately for men who frequent strip clubs bootie and tootie don’t have a face. As long as you can shake it, flaunt it, flip and flap it..you cool. Looking good is a added bonus.
Kordell blurpie joke was funny. You all know you laughed. I don’t think he meant no harm by it just to make his wife laugh. Will there be problems in that marriage no doubt. Seems he married someone who he thought was bubbleheaded enough to give him all control. When she starts exerting her independence, there will be problems. Other than that, nothing he sad was wrong.
Tandy, Oh Tandy. My pastor would of told me.."why you gonna have me bless the house and when I walk out the door your gonna continue living in sin". FOr a matter of fact I would of got the Get your house inorder speech before he even showed up. Her and Kenya or really no different. Kenya desperation just shows.Which brings me Kenya and Walt. I am starting to feel that Walter is playing her. I mean if it is not forreal there is no need for him to say I love you, kiss her, and say hey babe. And he did kind of lead her to think that he would pop the question. I think Kenya may have met Walt, they dated, she needed to get on the show and since they were already dated, he may gave her some false hope in where the relationship was headed. No matter how crazy she is, I don’t think she will bring a man to meet her family, the only family she knows, and he not be serious. Walter is handled business all wrong and she don’t need him.
umm am I the only one wondering y there was a pastor blessing the house of 2 unmarried people shacking up "living in sin"??
Pastor Good Money just wanted to be on television annnnd Phedra (Funky Dineva voice) probably manages him.
Yes the pastor praying for blessings was odd in that type of setting..I think the prayer should’ve been for her lil daughter. Children pay more attention than you think..Eventhough Kandi need happiness in a relationship I would still cater to Riley..she’s a child so as soon as she felt uncomfortable w/Todd living there I would’ve asked him to move out.Kids go through enough as it is let the girl have some peace in the home.
I think it was a preview for next week but when the little girl said something along the lines of Kandi knowing him for a month and then he was living in the house, I was speechless.
Now ATLien, I thought you were everything Atlanta. Why am I seeing previews for Bad Girls Atlanta elsewhere and not on this site. I know the girls are not from Atlanta but they will be parading on your stomping ground and being a drunken ratchet mess at your clubs.
This show is so stupid.if it wasn’t for Peter bringing the drama, Greg being the old man with alot of personality and Appolo being a gentleman about Kenya’s flirting, i can’t show how this show is entertaining.
And why is kenya saying, gone with the wind fabolous. wasn’t gone with the wind, the only black woman on the show was a mammy, who was a slave, and they treated her as such. i need to email her.
I thought that as well but Kenya explains it on her Bravo blog. She was referring to Hattie McDaniel being the first African-American to win an Academy Award. She won the award for Best Supporting Actress for her role of Mammy in Gone with the Wind. There are also some other interesting facts about the actress on her Wiki page such as Ms. Daniels being in over 300 movies and having two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
And we also learned that Ealter can’t say..everyBODY…he says everyBADY…
Also, Kordell looks like Fred Flintstone live…he has a big flat head..
Also, who drew Portia’s eyebrows on in her confessional with the 47 inch weave..lol
*Walter*
I like Kordell and Porscha. I didn’t have a problem with him telling her to let it go. She can’t force Kenya to be her friend and it is time to move on. I wouldn’t continue to apologize to someone who I know don’t like me. I also like Cynthia and Peter, didn’t like her comment at the end it was a bit much. I don’t want to ever see Phaedra and Apollo kiss again, it was straight up nasty and the strip club was even nastier. I have always liked Nene and I’m glad her and Gregg worked things out. I am so happy Kim is gone! And as far as Kandi and Todd, the minister should have stayed home.
Yall need to leave Kenya alone, she is a historical figure….and so are old a$$ ovaries.
has anyone noticed how NEENEE feels the NEED to put her hands all over everyones man…she does it subtley but none the less she is always "rubbing" and "touching" on all the guys. When she came in to talk to Kandi and Todd came over to touch Kandi NEENEE had to jump right up and rub all over TODD
I JUST ABT DIED WHEN APOLLO CAME OUT WITH THE "SECTOR OF THE TIMESCALE"…. DIED. LOL
