It’s another week of rest and relaxation as the ladies of RHOA enjoy their time in the Philippines.
For once, there’s a trip with minimal drama and some (i.e. Kandi) attributes the peaceful journey to Nene’s absence.
Whatever the case, the ladies change venues and leave their spa haven to head for Manilla, where they will embrace several group activities.
While her cast mates are ‘bonding’ in the Philippines, Nene Leakes is in NYC preparing for her Broadway debut in Cinderella.
This week, Nene meets with the costume designer for a fitting, during which, viewers get a few flashbacks of how far she’s come over the years.
Bravo takes us back to the ‘rich bitch’ fight between Sheree & Nene, followed by several clips of Nene’s various acting gigs over the years.
I’m not sure if this is a grand good-bye or merely a salute to excellence but whatever the case, Nene still got plenty of screen time this week even thought the ladies were a gazillion miles away.
During one of their group activities, Pheadra Parks’s tour guide shares a story about her husband’s death and Park’s immediately feels for the woman.
The woman was left to fend for herself while raising 5 children and Phaedra connects to the story being that her own husband has left her with 2 sons after being locked up.
To help in her struggle, Phaedra offers the woman a gift in the form of a large tip, which she graciously accepts.
[FLASHBACK: Mugshot Mania – Apostle Canada Has Criminal Past… ]
On last week’s show, Parks agreed to a sit down with Kenya and she calls her Apostle to ask for guidance during the trying time.
Apostle Canada reassures Phaedra that she can remain calm in the midst of the storm, so she decides to move forward with the ‘sit down’ with her arch nemesis.
They’ve been dragging poor Demetria McKinney all around the world and won’t even give her any airtime! This week though… Demetria gets a few seconds extra as she challenges Porsha Williams to a ‘twerk off’ on the bus.
The self-professed ‘donkologist’ Phaedra Parks thinks it’s all distasteful and would prefer to utilize her ‘ass’ets through her brainpower.
Kandi decides to rank the twerk off and calls it all a tie: Porsha has booty and no dance skills, Demetria has dance skills and no butt. Sounds about right.
Demetria barely gets shown in scenes, which begs the question… why is she even there?
On the flip side, it’s looking like Princess THOT (Porsha) may be aiming to grab her peach back (if that’s even possible). Who knows? She’s certainly more entertaining than Clawdia… but I digress.
Kenya has been begging for a one on one from Phaedra for a while now and Phaedra finally decides to let her have her say.
Everybody knows I don’t see it for Kenya Moore, but I commend her for ATTEMPTING to squash the animosity between she and Phaedra. Now that I’ve said something good, let me get into the meat and potatoes of this fake azzzz apology session.
That being said, I commend Phaedra for keeping her cool and allowing Kenya to play the victim.
It was clearly meant to ‘increase the peace’ and their segment, which was filled with Kenya’s fake tears and Phaedra’s frustration, certainly was a stepping stone to closing out their issue.
For the record, I think that Kenya totally played the victim by bringing up how Phaedra called her Kenya Moore-Whore but no where in the conversation did she ever admit that she (Kenya) had crossed the line time and time again by her own actions.
Phaedra’s statement about how Kenya could never understand her standing by her husband at the time probably went over a lot of heads but I caught that shade…
…and everyone lived happily ever after (this week).
[Sidebar: In case you were wondering how long Phaedra & Kenya’s truce lasted, it was probably about as long as the flight back to Atlanta from the Philippines last October. For the record, Phaedra wrote a blog several months after their return, insinuating Kenya had an affair with her husband (CLICK HERE if you missed that).]
