5 Things I Learned During Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 5 (Episode 2) + Watch Full Video…

The 5th season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is off and running full speed.

Head “housewife” Nene Leakes packs up her family (including fake ex-hubby Gregg) and heads to LaLa land. Her first stop is to make an appearance in their annual Gay Pride parade. (PHOTOS).

Having pretty much shown her fake “A”zz during episode 1, newbie Kenya Moore continues her reign of terror against supermodel Cynthia Bailey,?who decides to throw her former BFF a party with everyone involved, including Kim Zolciak.

This 2nd episode was pretty lackluster compared to the season premiere, however we finally got to see Nene take the high road when she bumps into Kim and Sweetie in the hallway as they make a quick exit prior to her entrance during her party.

Yeah… well clearly my initial assessment was correct. But I digress!

At any rate, here are 5 thing I learned during the 2nd episode of the 5th season of RHOA + watch video of the FULL EPISODE below…

I’m sure you guys noticed several things but here are five of the things that I learned from watching the 2nd episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta (5th season).

1. Kenya Moore is still crazy as a betsy bug and her skincare regimen might be questionable… but? Aunt Lori throws some premiere shade!

As the two are speaking about Moore’s former flames, Aunt Lori says “Let’s talk about a real man before we talk about Walter.”

Dayum! Did you catch all that shade?? Now we see where Kenya gets it…

2. Phaedra and Kandi are the only true “road dawgs” on the show.

Real talk. These two are really friends and that’s rare (especially in the world of “reality” television).

Name two other women on the show who support each other when the cameras are off? (I’ll wait)

3. This Cynthia and Kenya “Beef” seems constructed to put the two “pretty” chicks against each other.

Besides Kenya’s dramatics, there’s really no reason for them to be at each other’s throats as much as they are.

4. Nene has evolved and is clearly above all of the dramatics of previous years. It’s almost like she’s just there in name only because the “old” Nene is dead and gone. (pour out a lil liquor!)

And last but not least, Kim Zolciak may not like Black people, but she really LOVES stealing stuff from ’em.

First she ganks her landlord Kendra for her mansion. Admitting to squatting and refusing to pay the exorbitant fees associated with her renting the lavish home month to month.

Then Kim totally stole Kandi’s baby name and while watching the show last night, I realized that Kim had even stole Sweetie Hughes’ hairstyle and is rocking it in her confessionals!

Don’t even get me started about Kroy buying that diamond bracelet while the two don’t even have a place for their extended family to call their own! (How ghetto!)

Hmmm… maybe the Zolciak and her Klan clan can move into Chateau Sheree… (if it’s ever completed).

Can you think of any other notable lessons learned during the 2nd episode of the 5th season of RHOA?
