SistaLadybug January 30, 2015 Share January 30, 2015 I thank God that all the stupid things I did for love (or dick) weren't aired for the world to see. Pretty Pretty 'Pollo looks exactly like what he is - a trickster, a fool and a lazy bum. He's also (objectively) handsome with a great body and what I assume are superior pipe-laying skills. Phaedra is cute (to me) but nowhere near what is probably the look that's hot in the streets of Atlanta, country (though she tries to hide it) and a PK. She took one look at that lightskint felon and was all, "MMMHMM. Git it, Daddy!" And now look. Look where we are, Phaedra. I swear 'fo da Lawd ... some dick needs to be outlawed. Oh, wait ... his kinda was, huh? 13 Link to comment
Carolina Girl January 30, 2015 Share January 30, 2015 A few weeks Kenya referred to herself as a "mogul" - soooo involved with soooo many irons in the fire. I've yet to see her do anything more than photo shoots. If she has an "acting" career that extends beyond RHOA and Celeb Apprentice (other than D list films a few years ago) I have yet to see it. And she thinks a REAL mogul such as Roger Bobb is supposed to be at HER beck and call? Yeah right, wanna-be. Twirl. 5 Link to comment
SFoster21 January 30, 2015 Share January 30, 2015 Well, if that pitch was indicative of her "creativity," woman has nothing going on upstairs at all. 7 Link to comment
LotusFlower January 30, 2015 Share January 30, 2015 (edited) Giving Phaedra the benefit of the doubt (and that's a stretch, believe me) maybe she thought that if she provided him with career opportunities, handed to him on a silver platter, he'd not want to go back to a life of crime. What she didn't figure out was that Apollo doesn't want to work. For anything. He feels like the world owes him. So he takes. But isn't that leaving out a pretty important detail? She married him because she was pregnant, right? Edited January 30, 2015 by LotusFlower 1 Link to comment
cooksdelight January 30, 2015 Share January 30, 2015 We think she did. She could have fallen in love with the guy also. She seemed to be really happy in the beginning. 1 Link to comment
ZaldamoWilder January 30, 2015 Share January 30, 2015 But isn't that leaving out a pretty important detail? She married him because she was pregnant, right? Right but she was able to marry him because he met her other criteria, raggedy though they were. Never been married before, had no children, (arguably) handsome and a pipe layer (tm Sistaladybug) of master plumberdom. As the daughter of two ministers, she would've been able to sell the criminal redemption pretty easily to her cipher. If not redemption then certainly some well placed comments about forgiveness and judgement. I could actually see her making anyone who gave her the sideye for choosing him feel like an asshole for having done so. Then. 2 Link to comment
LotusFlower January 30, 2015 Share January 30, 2015 We think she did. She could have fallen in love with the guy also. She seemed to be really happy in the beginning. I gotta say, I always saw a sales job. Even from the beginning. Her first season on the show was bizarre and hilarious - she was trying so hard to introduce herself with a pre-planned image - southern belle, lawyer, wife, mom-to-be (that's why the pregnancy timing was so hilariously off). But to me, it almost came off as a caricature. Right but she was able to marry him because he met her other criteria, raggedy though they were.

I could actually see her making anyone who gave her the sideye for choosing him feel like an asshole for having done so. Then. Yup. I agree with your last point, too. Didn't she kind of do that to Kenya, esp. with all the "at least I got a huzzbin'" talk?! 3 Link to comment
Watermelon January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 Had Apollo been any bit about his life, he could have had a plenty successful career never having a 9-5 again. Apollo is a general amount of handsome that could have taken him far, along with him learning any real bit about fitness. A fitness career, with bootcamps at parks, videos with pretty people in workout gear and etc, mixed with club appearances would have given him his own middle class life without having to deal with Phaedra. He wanted a Porshe lifestyle when he should have just stopped at Mercedes. 4 Link to comment
Ubiquitous February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 Kenya just keeps getting more and more ridiculous. Good on Roger Bobb for shutting her down at the end and telling her he isn't going to be there for her stupid antics. If she thinks she's even remotely funny, she's very mistaken. Grow up stupid! You make an ass of yourself daily. I cannot remember if I saw this in the last ep or the last "first look", but I almost felt sorry for Kenya making a fool of herself with her thinly-veiled ideas for TV shows to produce with RogerBob. It was also quite obvious he knew it, too. I'm beginning to seriously doubt her claims about being such a big-shot mogul. Link to comment
goofygirl February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 Making an ass, showing her ass.... Kenya's stock in trade. She even did it with her finale project manager job on Celebrity Apprentice. What an ASS!! 1 Link to comment
CentralTexas February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 Making an ass, showing her ass.... Kenya's stock in trade. She even did it with her finale project manager job on Celebrity Apprentice. What an ASS!! Oh yes, a huge epic ass showing! The look on her face when The Bobb said he didn't have time for her, was priceless! You can't fake that blank look of " WTF. Huh?..." Oh how I laughed! Phaedra was pregnant before marrying Pipe Laying 'Pollo, that's why Kim and the rest of the girls questioned her ( cough) Premie baby, who came out gnawing on a pork chop, she couldn't even come up with an answer when Kim asked her how far along she was, or her due date...it takes a special kind of stupid, to get caught in a lie by Kim...damn, I miss her!!! Heh! 2 Link to comment
Granimal February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 (edited) I clearly have issues processing social cues, because I thought that Kenya's pitch was played out for comedic value, in the same spirit as a skit on SNL. I actually thought it was pretty hilarious. I thought she was intentionally trying to be funny a la the Gone with the Wind Fabulous song/video. Granimal-lover however commented that it looked like Kenya was about to cry. To me "Kenya" has always seemed like an SNL-character. I have never felt any sincerity or realism in her scenes, but obviously others feel differently (like Granimal-lover). I will have to re-watch this scene when the full episode airs because I can not even imagine it playing out in any kind of serious way! Edited February 6, 2015 by Granimal 2 Link to comment

Nobody is ever in on the joke, which is why they think she's a crazy bitch. Claudia came the closest, and even she looked exhausted by Kenya by the end of the North Carolina trip. 1 Link to comment

Ubiquitous February 15, 2015 Share February 15, 2015 I had to wonder if Chocolate were one of Phaedra's stripper clients but couldn't figure out a context for what Apollo claims he saw.

lasandi February 15, 2015 Share February 15, 2015 (edited) I am certainly not a fan of Phadera but do I believe she is cheating? Hellllll no!

cooksdelight February 15, 2015 Share February 15, 2015 I think during the course of the show, we were all hoodwinked by the crook, and believed anything that came out of his mouth. Lesson learned. He's a liar, a thief, a con man and would commit murder if he had Annalise Keating as his attorney. 4 Link to comment

I don't know anything about appliances in bed, but I'm more than happy to be alone and get to wash my face, put my hair in a pony tail, and call it a night. Married life is not for me, I suppose!

Aging Goth February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 She already did blame Todd, When Kandi showed MJ the house, she told her about her desire to have another baby. MJ was the one who speculated that Todd may be deficient in that area. Link to comment

ZaldamoWilder February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 Todd doesn't have a sister so he might not know black women only bring their hair out for special occasions. Shaggery must not qualify. This wouldn't explain their sex life before marriage though, maybe she's thinking well you haven't had a problem with it these last couple years so...... Kandi Koated Nights first advice rule should be to lose the prairie cap, but ya'll remember that this is the same woman who turned down an offer of "thug love" from her husband in his newly purchased timbs right? Mkay then. 1 Link to comment
SistaLadybug February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 I no longer have a relaxer that I need to protect, but when I did, neither bonnet nor scarf ever kept me from getting it in. That excuse is ridicible. No necessary orifices are covered by the fabric. And if it's that upsetting, snatch it off in the midst. That would be hot, anyway. Can't you imagine it? Mrowr. 2 Link to comment
ZaldamoWilder February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 ^^ This. Girl bye it wouldn't get in my way, the first. But if he's complaining about it, it's one more thing she ain't trying to compromise about. I mean in having to choose between wanting to make a baby and not trying to mess up your hair, is it really that big a contest....at 37 years old? Either it's not as big a priority as she said or she's really that simple. Turned down timbs lovin. Mrowr, indeed. I vote simple. 3 Link to comment
ridethemaverick February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 Nah. I've been a black woman all my life and bonnets and scarves have never been sexy. Guys deal with it because sex but ask them their preference... He might have just been trying to piss her off but there's always some truth to little digs. And yes, Kandi is as simple as 1+1. 1 Link to comment
SistaLadybug February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 They damn sure ain't sexy, but neither are ashy knees and knuckles and we been looking past those since time immemorial. Y'all are certainly right about Kandi, though. I'm sad to say it because I've always liked her and still do, but girl has had a number done on her by her mama (and various other people who haven't done her any good). Marriage is ultimately about compromise and she isn't willing because she hasn't had to. She's been alone and the boss for a long time. There's nothing wrong with either one, but if you are as desperate as she seemed to be to get married and you want to keep that marriage, you gotta let go of some of the control. It's the only way. Plus, she's got quite a bit of money ... and that hair is a weave. Let him pull it if it makes him happy, boo. 1 Link to comment
Chrissytd February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 Watched the first look, how did I miss the video Apollo posted before he went asunder? That had me cracking up. 2 Link to comment
Betweenyouandme February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 Well, I think it would have been better if Todd had brought this up before...such as saying one night, hey I want to make love. Let me see your hair under there. Maybe that would have gotten the point across or something more direct the next day if not. Anyway, it sounds like something she needs in the night, right? But, she could put it on after they have sex? Or, is he saying he never wants her to wear it? Link to comment
