The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Season two honey.

They are back and so am I.  Sorry for disappearing last week, but I had a project which took up all my time.  Bad blogger!  At long last the very best of the Real Housewives franchise (in my opinion) returned last week.  Praise be!  Gone is DeYawn and I can't imagine anyone is shedding a tear.  Anyone?  The show started with my two favorites: eyes poppin', lips bustin' NeNe and the not declasse Dwight Eubanks .  They set the bar pretty high as Dwight, who had come to NeNe's new home to give decorating advice, started doing a stripper routine in her theater room.  He got on all fours and began a slow cat-like walk as NeNe screamed, "Crawl!!!! I loooooove a crawl!"  She pronounced the one syllable crawl as though it had two: crah*wull.  NeNe, as far as I'm concerned, can say and do whatever she likes though.  And I'm loving the short hair this season by the way.  Her fresh look seems indicative of her bridge mending stance.  For every bridge she mends though, I'm hoping another will go up in flames.  Better TV that way.  Welcome back NeNe and Dwight!

So..... was the show able to surpass the NeNe-Dwight crawl?  Yes.  In a way.  The newly single wiggy wonder Kim went to see her psychic.  The psychic told Kim that she's stupid, remedial, bloated, wears more makeup than the entire cast of RuPaul's Drag Race, has one of the cheapest looking wigs ever seen on TV, should do as NeNe said during the reunion show and 'keep her legs closed to married men', and that she will be starting her own business.  Ok, the psychic did only say that last part about the business.  At least that's what made it on air.  Now that Kim doesn't have Big Poppa paying the bills, she's decided to follow her calling and launch a wig line.  Makes sense?  So she enrolled in beauty school.  For one afternoon.

Kim was shown to her seat in the classroom by a very pleasant looking woman who told her to have fun. Settling into her desk, Kim in a room full of students trying to learn a skill in order to make an honest living flippantly replied, "I'll take a bullet."  If only......  Kim in a self-involved A.D.D. haze made it through about 30 seconds of the lesson before, as she said, 'started thinking about what she would eat for lunch and what for dinner.'  She also said, 'classrooms are terrible.'   Then she looked completely confused as an instructor showed her how to use a curling iron.  In Kim's defense a curling iron is probably the most complicated machine ever created.
After minutes of rolling her eyes around and making faces, Kim split.  On her way out she said that she didn't need to know how to style hair, she'll just hired people to do the work for her.  Beauty School dropout Kim.  

Welcome back Kim!  I hope we'll be seeing more of you as a recording artist. I also hope that we'll be witnessing more of your champion spelling bee skills.  Kim spelling cat, k.a.t. last season is still one of my most treasured moments of hers.  Please someone ask her how to spell dumb?  I imagine she'll guess, d.u.m.

Who else is on that show?  Ummmm.... there's Lisa.  The business woman.  I think she's the most unstable of them all.  During the reunion show when out of the blue she told Kim that she'd flip her over the couch and that she's not the one--- it was clear that Lisa had a deep well of crazy.  Hopefully the depth of the well will be seen this season.  Her husband Ed is awfully cute by the way.
Welcome back Lisa!

Now as for Sheree....... Lord have mercy!  She's always struck me as someone putting on airs.  In other words, she's pretty full of it.  And I also thought she along with DeYawn could have been easily replaced.  But I was wrong Sheree.  My opinion of her changed after the throw down with her party planner.  If you saw the show than you know what happened.  Sheree unleashed her inner 'Cleveland, Ohio' girl.  If you haven't seen the show, just look at this picture especially Sheree's neck and imagine the most ignorant, combative, confrontational your mama, I wish YOU would lay YOUR hands on ME, who gonna check me boo? ...... face to gay-face off ever. 

Way to step it up!  Welcome back Sheree!

WELCOME BACK PRETTY ON THE OUTSIDE!!! I am so HAPPY that RHOA is back and that I am fortunate enough to have POTO to turn to for wonderful insightful & hilarioussssss reviews & art of the show.

But I must disagree with virtually everyone. I think Nene is completely overrated and I hate her face, body, hair & overly thick eyebrows. Her accent sucks and she is not special. Just a country girl stripper that lucked up landing a dude in the club with a little bit of money. But good for her. But still...whatever.

Lisa, go away fast. I think she is pretty & nice & smart & BORRRRING. Hated-it!

Sheree please stop wearing awful make-up & clothing. She is getting uglier as the show goes on...

And Kim, sigh. Why do they keep ganging up on the white girl. She's such an easy target. Cuz she has Barbie's hair on head and she can't sing a lick. But I find her harmless, brainless & adorable. I love delusional, over-the-hill sugar babies. If ONLY she would take a karate class so she could fight those bitches back & stand up for herself.

BTW, why do the "ladies" have make-up artists on deck ready to beat their face on demand? Seems so extra especially for the lousy results they produce!

Since when is a party planner a "top-level executive?" The backstory here has to be that the foreclosed-on Sheree is getting this "independence" party for free, in return for the planner's publicity, 'cause she owes alot of money around Atlanta. Otherwise, why would a "top-level executive" ever treat a client that way? A poet? Rose petals strewn at her feet? Cleopatra theme? Cut me a break.

These broke-ass bitches don't have two nickels to rub together. And their behavior is always appalling. You can take the girl out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the girl. And that especially includes the perpetually fake Lisa.

And what ever happened to "He-She by Sheree?" (Come on. She has to be a man. She looks like Sister Paterson, New York's mom on "I Love New York.")

YAY!!!! your back and with my fave RHOA.
To start here is a link that gives a run down on the divorce between Bill and Sheree. http://www.accessatlanta.com/celebrities-tv/splitsville-housewives-whitfield-vs-pro-footballs-whitfield-67514.html
They were married for all of 3 years, she declares herself an uneducated ho, so much so Kim could kick her ass in a spelling Bee . She claims Bill squandered her ,uh, I mean his money.

Kandi, with a K, what is she thinking. Who is this dude AJ with 6 children.She made that money on her own and she does not need to be supporting the children of this serial baby daddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am with her daughter, I would not want these "new friends" in my stuff either. She has had that home all to herself and now it looks like Jon Gosselin and his brood are moving in. I am with her baby girl , not happy about it at all.

Lisa Wu is very pretty but, she is 38, divorced and lost custody of her 2 kids & recently filed bankruptcy. Her husband is only 31, former pro athlete and an ass that leaves one speechless. Makes me go hmm.

I am so glad that you are back. How could any self respecting queer, such as myself, not love the endless drama on RHOA? I do my gay inhale many many times during the show. This is definitely the best Real housewives there is, second is New York of course. These bitches are soooooooo ghetto. Everyone seems to act like that is such a bad thing. Why is that? It's the very reason that makes the show amazing. I can't wait for all of the fights. It's going to be one hell of a season. I mean there was already one huge fight in the first episode. Speaking of which, who say yo mama or check yourself anymore? Hello this isn't 94. Then again he probably was just nervous. I'd be scared too. Those ghetto trannies can be quite feisty. Anyway I'm head over pumps that this show is back and I look forward to reading more, "Pretty On The Outside."

I cant even watch this Tyler Perry version of the Housewives

[Blisterina]

Love the new banner. Makes me wanna break out the bell bottoms and listen to some Floyd. (Yes, I'm that old.)

As much as I can't stand Sheree, she's my favorite one to watch! She's kinda predictable in a street-ho-scratch-out-your-eyeballs way. Reminds me of elementary school. (Yes, it was a rough neighborhood.) And, agreed, Nene looks great with the new hair.

By the by, did anyone see this fabulous bit of Dwightness?

I was waiting for this gem to come back on Bravo! It also helps that NeNe will be fighting with Kim and Kandi from what the previews show.

I love the way NeNe says "Hookah" and "Hood", 2 of the greatest words to ever come out of her mouth IMO.

[deena]

omg.... that fight with sheree & that guy!!!! I didn't know what to think. She is fisty this season. Did you see on the previews she also pulls Kim's wig. You know Nene was loving every minute of that. Although I have to say I think Kim's new wig looks really good! Did you see pictures of her recently? And her first single coming out is "don't be tardy for the party" lol..... I still picture Nene last season over Kim's house making fun of all those songs. haha
<3 the drawing & your new header David

[Lee Lee]

I didn't think Kim's wig looked good at all! I was shocked that it actually looks WORSE! It has the oddest pink tinge to it, just like an old Barbie doll's hair. WTF. All that money, a Bentley, and she can't get a good wig? Can't she call up Beyonce's hair person and get something that looks halfway natural?? I'm just confused. I also want to smack her for thinking that cancer causes one to lose one's hair. She is the epitome of ignorant. She must be damn good at SOMETHING for this rich man to lavish her with money, jewelry and cars -- DAMN GOOD -- because I cannot imagine anyone having more than a 3 minute conversation with this airhead!

Hi, very nice post!! Is Bravo's "Real Housewives" franchise filmed in high definition? what you say?

[suz]

I think they all look like transvestites
Please come up with a look alike transvestites for each of them for your next column.
