S07.E15: Chocolate Does A Body Good

[Deputy Deputy CoS]

If Todd feels so disrespected and used, he can leave Kandi anytime. No one is forcing him to stay in a marriage that he'e clearly no longer feeling.

[Medicine Crow]

I'm attributing the BEST LINE I've ever heard on any Housewives show to CLAUDIA:  (Paraphrasing) "I like cars, clothes & bags, but I'm not going to put mileage on my vagina to get 'em."  I just howled at that one!!  Best line ever!!  I LOVE Claudia.  She can mix-it-up with the best/worse of them.

 

I know we're behind an episode or two here in Canada, so forgive me if I'm in the wrong forum.

 

Next best "word" was Ramona's "kadoos".  LOL.

[ridethemaverick]

I don't care if NeNe is perceived as being to big for her britches, I laugh out loud at all her talking heads. It was so funny when she demonstrated Cynthia trying to get the words out during the dinner.

Am I remembering it wrong: Didn't Claudia try to stripper shame NeNe in PR during the dinner? Didn't she bring up all the shade that she had in her bag that night? And isn't that why NeNe returned fire and brought up Claudia's sexual life? So Claudia can just stop with the NeNe whore shamed me dookey. If you are going to go after NeNe for being a stripper like it is an earth shattering reveal, when she has owned that she was a stripper, when it happened 20 plus years ago and she has moved on successfully from it, then expect her to go back at you. And why was Claudia being so gleeful at the "take down" of Phaedra? She is putting her peach in the wrong basket.

I can't explain it but she is loosing it big in the Porsha game. Porsha is handling Claudia and keeping her cool while doing it. I think the reunion was a combination of being blindsided by that rat fink Kordell, taking a pill to calm down, having a glass of wine, then being antagonized relentlessly by Kenya. The Porsha who has no fucks to give, that is her true self. Ugh. I just hate Claudia and she is that woman, who pretends to be a guys girl, above all the girl drama, when she is the girl drama QUEEN. To be sure this Smiley guy sees through Claudia right? Right?? I have just loved how Porsha has been regarding the first scene together when she rubbed lotion on herself. Porsha has got Claudia's number.

I know she didn't get a peach this season, I think that was a form of a little workplace punishment. I really hope she gets a peach next season and boring Claudia is gone.

Cynthia Cynthia Cynthia. You so lame girl. For the whole season so far. And it doesn't look good for the next episode either.

eta I hate the way Claudia speaks. It's not like she has a speech impediment, (I guess) but she pronounces words weird and has an ugly face when she is talking. I am trying to get to that little corner of my brain that holds the picture of the person she reminds me of, from back in the 70's or 80's.

I agree with this. Claudia is pressed and Porsha continues to pay her dust.

I also agree that her status is punishment, and I think it's punishment for the way she's acting toward Kenya and Claudia. This isn't the type of show where you are supposed to grow and change so much that you just completely atop engaging the fuckery.

I love how Porsha is handling these hoes but it doesn't make for good TV.

[drivethroo]

At the dinner, Phaedra said something shady to Demetria, who then confronted Phaedra. Nene and Porsha were cackling and ki'ki'ing.

Cynthia jumped in and told them to move along or somesuch. Nene dismissed Cynthia while Porsha & Phaedra were cackling in the background.

That's when Claudia jumped in and said they were being immature. Nene dismissed her and told her to go ask Rickey Smiley. Claudia asked her what that meant and NENE attacked Claudia saying she slept with all of Hollywood & had slept around so much her clit left her body. That's when Claudia started talking about ramen noodles, bridemaid, college and stripping.

Claudia did not come out the gate shading Nene about stripping. She brought up Nene's stripping in response to Nene calling her a whore whose clit left her body & who had slept with all of Hollywood.

I moved a few posts over to the thread regarding who you'd like to see as a new housewife, in regard to why some of the women now are not working.

It's here, and you can speculate or gripe or make wish list. :)

[Iguessnot]

Every time someone asked Phaedra questions about the mess with Apollo, she refused to answer, maybe uttered an idiom or two, and changed the subject. They even showed an exact scene of this, with Kandi trying to talk to her one-on-one, and Phaedra said nothing. When you do that enough with a friend, they get the message. Now all of a sudden Phaedra needs "support," and criticizes Kandi for not being there? You can't have it both ways. It's such a contrived storyline.

I don't there was any scene of Nene questioning and getting answers from Phaedra on camera. The problem is that Kandi dropped the ball off camera, when it counted.

[Ubiquitous]

Also, why was Kenya the only one in street clothes?? Everyone else was in workout gear.

Because Kenya's SPONTANEOUS! and FUN!

 

I don't blame Phaedra for being extra cautious.  She thought Apollo had already turned himself in before and he showed up at the house acting the ass that he is.  She didn't want to take the chance that he had eluded his lockup date again.

I thought the hotel security scene was the hotel not wanting to deal with fans and TMZ making a scene in their lobby but being told to not say that on camera.

[charma]

Phaedra got a taste of her own medicine and I couldn't be happier or felt less empathy for anyone.

You dish dirt, you get dirt. She pulled Kenya's name in it in some lame attempt to deflect attention away from her own adultery and couldn't handle it when Kenya rightfully fired back by putting her dirt out there. Kenya had every right to put it out there considering the slander she's endured from that poor excuse of a woman for the last 3 years. Her crying was a bit much but the anger I could understand.

[Aging Goth]

I just listened to several internet reviews of this episode (snowing, not working today), an interesting point was made about Kenya. The apology she got was ONLY for her meeting him in LA. She had no problem on WWHL admitting that she texted Apollo many times but did not say it was strictly innocent. When Petra and Apollo spoke after the apology, Apollo alluded to giving the apology for show. Then this big outburst with Phaedra appeared more like something the "side piece" would act towards the wife which would be the ONLY reason she would be so concerned about the possibility of Phadra's cheating. And if she really had a problem about Apollo lying on her, then why does she so adamantly defend his actions pre jail.

I also feel her teary rant at the wine tasting was her manipulating of Cynthia to do her dirty work. Just MHO.

[charma]

Phaedra stated that the reason she believed Apollo was due to Kenya's persistent flirting with Apollo in front of her and behind her back.  Kenya didn't hide the fact that she was attracted to Apollo which made it easier for Phaedra to believe him and his "text" from Kenya.  Kenya has no basis for her belief that Phaedra cheated on Apollo, in fact she is living breathing proof that Apollo can manufacture text msg as "proof" Kenya was dead wrong.  

Ahh, but she didn't just believe Apollo's words. She added on to them. She claimed she saw the texts and Apollo called her from LA to tell her. It seems many keep forgetting that Phaedra added on to Apollo's lies.

Yes, she texted him. We all know that, they both admitted that. She texted him in response to him texting her first. That's been known since the beginning. The lie was that she texted him offering him head and stalked him in LA and he admitted he lied. I don't know why people can't let this go.

[charma]

You don't have to be a religious fanatic to have your house blessed.  Unless you consider belief in God and spirits being a fanatic, then cool, you're entitled to your opinion.  I don't see anything wrong with house blessings.

 

 

I think Kandi is beginning to be influenced by Todd just like Cynthia is being influenced by Peter.  Both Todd and Peter are good friends with Apollo.  Kandi is slowly trying to distance herself from Phaedra because of it.  Sad, but that's what I believe.  That being said, Kandi is a stealth BITCH!, and a horrible friend.

 

 

Thank you!  This needs to be brought attention to as much as possible.  If nobody brings it up at the reunion, I'm going to gauge my own eyes out.  lol

 

Kenya and the fake tears?!  STFU you asshole!  You know damned well the reason Phaedra was calling you a whore is because Apollo doctored up some texts that he told Phaedra were from you, in addition to your inappropriate flirting with her husband for two whole seasons.  Apollo is a master at document manipulation.  He's currently in jail for it now.  So get off your "Waaahhhh!!!  They called me a whore!" high horse and stop thinking that the viewing audience is stupid enough to believe your fake assed tears.  So go take a few seats with the other thots you hang out with because nobody is buying your bullshit!

We saw Kenya flirt with him one time. How does flirting make someone a whore even if its with a married person?

[cooksdelight]

I think the topic of Kenya's texts to Apollo and vice versa have been covered. We can continue to discuss the texts from Mr. Chocolate since they apply to this episode. You can discuss Kenya and Apollo and their past goings-on in their threads. Thanks!

[charma]

I'd be more than happy to discuss Mr. Chocolate since Phaedra brought up the Kenya mess again as a way of deflecting. Does anyone know who Chocolate is yet?

[cooksdelight]

Chocolate is rumored to be a female friend of Phaedra's. I think Apollo made up Mr. Chocolate, picking the first name he could think of. He may have seen calls or texts from Chocolate that were innocent, then he "fixed" them to suit his own purposes.

[Aging Goth]

We do. It is a woman she represented and became friends with. She and Apollo were at her wedding and Phaedra just threw her a baby shower last month. She went by the name Whyt Chocolate

I've heard that theory but I don't buy it. I think she really is having an affair with a man named Chocolate otherwise she wouldn't have lost her marbles at the mention of it. All she had to say was she had a female friend named Chocolate.

Besides, if he was smart enough to "doctor" texts, Apollo can't even use correct English, he would have doctored texts against Kenya.

[SFoster21]

Why is that his "name"? It may be what she would call him. Frankly, those texts could mean anyone, man or woman. But they're unlikely to be legit.

That is not a theory. Nene met Whyt Chocolate who was a stripper like Nene. Apollo is in jail for forging and doctoring up documents so it's not out of the realm of possibility that he forged the texts.

[Watermelon]

If something doesn't make sense, it isn't true. Phaedra is not dating an African Prince called Mr. Chocolate because IT SOUNDS MADE UP.

 

Phaedra did not leave her phone in a room with Apollo unlocked because they don't even like each other and barely spend time together. Phaedra did not leave her phone unlocked at all, because who even does that anymore?

[Texasmom1970]

You said everything I was thinking about this episode, but much more eloquently than I could. Many are saying poor Phaedra. For years we have watched her with her nose turned up in the air dishing it out. When some comes her way she does not know what to do. What comes around goes around!

[Box305]

Hahaha Cynthia is such a bad ass. Nope. 

 

And Kenya yelling out the word "whore" about 15 times in two different restaurants? Please stop.

I need some clarification. Is it texts or Texas? Cuz when Peter said textses I heard Texas.

Someone please educate me.

Brandi corrected her friend on RHOBH who was calling them textses also. And it does sound like Texas. Kim Richards does it too. Drives me insane.

I couldn't help but notice during today's rerun of their PR trip, two of the gals were talking about how Phaedra was up all night talking with a man on her phone, to which Kandi made some "more power to her!" remark in her talking head segment. Hmm...

[FozzyBear]

Why the "African" part of the accusation? I feel like every time one of these women has an undercover lover somebody throws out that the man is African. What is that? I get the impression they are being accused of being an escort for rich foreign men or something...but it still feels weird and random like I'm missing something.

[sparklsky]

I believe that the texts between Apollo and Kenya were real. I think Ms. MooreWhore and Jailbird got together before his impending imprisonment AFTER his wife rejected him and made up the whole fake text storyline. It was simply a liars way to further hurt his wife. 

 

[FozzyBear]

I'm not sure it was meant to be hilarious that Todd asked Kandi if if she would marry him all over again then proceeded to tell her to not ask him the same question. When she asks him anyway, he just says, "Let's go to counseling." LMAO!

And where was he going with that "he's not somebody (I forgot which celeb he mentioned here) and Kandi's no Rhianna?" That was his way of justifying their once a week sex life?

I thought his point was more about them not being kids anymore and maybe not having the same sex drive/energy level they did 10 or 15 years ago.

Speaking of which; is once a week a sexless marriage? I'm the same age as Kandi and Todd and once a week seems pretty active to me. Especially if you're working and traveling a lot. A person get tired.

It's not that I think Phaedra is an innocent lamb or anything, but yeah. Kenya was all over Apolllo in front of Phaedra multiple times. And that situation directly affected Phaedra. It was about what type of relationship Kenya had with her husband whom she was still very much with. Kenya hasn't seen anything but Apollo's "evidence" to support this story and other than Kenya not liking Phaedra and feeling like Phaedra is a hypocrit THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER!

[renatae]

I totally get the bonnet thing, but you can't wait until after sexy times a couple nights a week to put it on?  

 

You'd think someone who deals in sex toys and sex talk would have a clue, wouldn't you?

[cooksdelight]

There's an old saying, renatae, that people who talk about it all the time ain't getting it any of the time. :)
