Real Housewives of Atlanta-part II ya'll! (80s, ratings, show, episode)

[Aficionado]

LMAO, I'm so glad this thread was revamped.

I watched the finale last night, and I felt so badly for Cynthia. I know that she didn't have any business getting married without adequate funding, but I feel like she was suckered into investing all of her money into a bootleg business that ended up going belly-up which was no fault of her own.

Honestly, she might as well marry him. Think about it, Peter already owes her tens of thousands of dollars, so do you think she really would have recouped any of it had she left him at the alter? I think she really didn't have much of a choice in the matter as it was more of a business decision than anything else.

NeNe is out of control at this point. She was way out of line speaking to Kim the way she did at her friends home in Miami. I would have put her on a pair of skates and rolled her right into the nearest Microtel or Super 8, and continued my uninterrupted, lavish weekend on the bay with everyone besides her.

PS- Lawrence was a piping hot mess! No explanation needed...

It is hard to put in words, but I think it is harder to go back to work.

I have a son and while it was hard for me to go back to work and school it was even harder for me to go out for fun especially overnight and out of town at that. I don't know I guess for it's different for everyone but I would have cried more at the concept of the first night away from him, especially if on the first night I was in a whole nother state.

I agree with you. Going out with friends for the first time after having a kid feels more like, "ok, i'm getting a little me time", going back to the work routine after having a kid and spending everyday day with him or her kind of makes you feel guilty because you know the routine with the baby will be broken, and your afraid the bond will be weakened somewhat because you away for longer periods of time during the day 5 days a week. At least, that's how i felt.

Could be Bravo editing. Phaedra may have gone off to work first, then went to Miami later on. Bravo is known for that. Phaedra plays up, a lot. Because when Andy asks the other girls about her, they seem to really like her. I get a good vibe from her.

So glad someone said it. The marriage certificate thing was completely made up. If they truly were going to pull off something crazy like that they wouldn't have done it on camera. Uh, hello? And when mom and sis talked to each other they were both facing slightly out at an angle to make sure the cameras got it.

Did anyone else catch NeNe texting into WWHL, last night? Man, she sure hasn't gotten it, yet. Andy said that NeNe and Kim really went at it at the reunion. All this screaming is getting old. And it is actually a crime to tell someone you are going to snap their neck. And she does it on camera.

Cynthia is just beautiful and she is the most stunning bride I have ever seen. The dress was Rubin Singer couture. It's not off-the-rack and run-of- the-mill but very appropriate for her. Here's Cynthia modeling other gowns, and hers at the end.

Peter? Yeah. I'm not feeling him.

And the lady in the audition was Terri Vaughn. She used to be Cedric's girlfriend on The Steve Harvey Show. I understood exactly what she was saying; when my boyfriend and I argue I'm all in his face not leaning away from him striking poses don't know how she got the role

I guess every parent is different but I have a child and it's different when you leave for a short weekend and going to work. She left Ayden with her mom and husband, I also felt secure whenever I left my son with my parents. At the same time, when I am on extended business trips I cry even if he's with my parents. As an attorney, I assume Phaedra works long hours and sometimes weekends. On top of that, her mom and hubby probly work the weekday so she has to leave baby with a friend. It's hard for me to let anyone, except my mother and father, watch my son, even if its my aunt, uncles,cousins, friends, or even my own grandmother. I guess its like having to go to work for the first time since baby arrives and you have to drop him at a daycare. It sucks.

The business tanking isn't her fault but she chose to invest. She didn't have to I'm certain. Everyone has a choice when it comes to investing.

OOOOO! YES! Exactly what I said. It looks soooooo fake. Andy said on WWHL that it looks like the Latina actresses on the Spanish channel (terrible acting) but then says "if you're tryna hide it, don't do it in front of the camera" I thought to myself "Andy puh-leeez you know its scripted and they just made it so obvious and blew yalls cover"

Hello. I heard what he said, too, and I thought the same. darn. thing.
