S07.E19: Drama Detox

[howivesforever]

Still can't agree with this.

#1 Is someone I don't know came over and flirted with my husband, they would be called every whore and B in the book while they are pulling my shoe out of their behinds.

#2 Now if a close married friend I KNOW is not interested in my husband and flirts with him, I might be a little skittish but I would give her a pass. Now if it was a constant thing, see point #1

Lol I get it, but I'd treat both the same. Kenya was out of line we do both agree on that. Phadrea doesn't need to apologize because of being disrespected. She needs to apologize for perpetuating Apollo's lies. She claims she saw the text with Kenya offering him felatio and the Los Angeles lie. Phadrea knew those things were untrue or that she didn't have proof and made that into Kenya trying to get with Apollo. That is also the reason I don't feel sorry for her regarding the Mr. Chocolate thing. She just wants people not to believe it because Apollo said it when she just believed what Apollo said regarding Kenya. And the whole but that was her husband thing doesn't work for me because I think Phadrea always knew how shady Apollo was.

I don't blame her if she never likes Kenya I probably wouldn't either, but if my man told me lies about someone and I went on a hating spree due to the lies told once the truth came out I would apologize.

If you've stated your opinion once about the whole Kenya/Phaedra/Kandi/Nene situation, that's great. Continue on a different topic, please, because you're not going to change someone else's mind who disagrees with you.

Thanks!

 Not all big jets have lie-flat seats. I've flown to Europe in first class with a seat that didn't make into a bed, and got superior service.

 

Per this long-haul seat comparison chart, very few airlines who offer long-haul flights don't offer lie flat seats in first class. of the ones that do, none of them offer direct flights from Atlanta to Seoul, South Korea, which was their layover on the way to Malaysia or have that color scheme. As a frequent international long-haul flyer, it's obvious to me that they were not seated in a first class cabin for a large portion of their trip. However, YMMV. 

 

While I do think Kenya fanned the flames with Apollo, I find myself truly hoping for some burying of the hatch between her and Phaedra next week. I am sick and tired of the endless arguing and just want them all to put a sock in it already. Life is too short to keep the same fight going on in an endless loop with someone you work with on a regular basis.

Nene's line reading was embarrassing. Producer had to break it down and tell her that no one is coming to a Broadway show to see your urban shenanigans and Bravoisms. If Nene wants to use 2 accents she should stick to the chitling circuit, but oh she is too good for those. 

 

 

 

Nene's acting career is going to be very short lived, she's just not very good at it.  How far fetched is playing the wicked stepmother for her, anyway? She should be able to nail that role!

[SistaLadybug]

My takeaway from all this back and forth about the Kenya/Phaedra/Cynthia/et al thing is that now no one has the moral high ground (not that there was much of one to begin with).  After all the lies Apollo told and Phaedra co-signed, Kenya was very much the scorned woman.  The woman railing on about her reputation and demanding justice and the clearing of her name.  It has now been cleared, whether Phaedra admitted it to Kenya or not.  Then comes the lie of Mr. Chocolate and Kenya, Cynthia and whosoeverwill jumped on it with glee.  Here's my thing: If you demand justice and truth-telling and protection of reputation and the sisterhood of Black womanhood and so on and whatwhat, then you can't be the hypocrite and say, "You did it to me and now I'll do it to you".  If these women want everything to be above board and truthful, then it has to start somewhere.  All you've shown is that you can crawl as low as the others.  What have you won?

I agree with this. They are all essentially guilty of the same things.

Can someone please inform me as to what Claudia said about "teeth and eyes," and the racial implications of that statement? I swear I watch this show with my full attention, but then something like this happens and I blank...thanks.

It wasn't on the show. It was a recording or something. Check the Claudia thread.

How do we know that Nene wasn't interested in Peter -  because she was married? Please.  If Kenya is a whore because she flirted with Apollo then Nene should be held to the same standard. She flirted a lot more with Peter to the point that many of us thought they had something going on. I agree with Howivesforever - Nene gets a pass because she's not viewed as desirable and, therefore, non-threatening. 

[SistaLadybug]

I think NeNe got a pass because Peter's wife didn't mind.  If Cynthia had made it clear that she was uncomfortable with NeNe's actions, then she would've been called to task, as well.  Phaedra didn't like it and she let it be known.  Kenya kee-keed about it but Phaedra wasn't laughing along.  Cynthia had every right to say to NeNe, "Back up off my man", if that's how she felt.

[cooksdelight]

If Peter had grabbed Nene by the ass and thrown her in the pool.... as Apollo did with Kenya.... what might have happened?

Answer that in Cynthia's thread, please and thank you. :)

[The Mighty Peanut]

I recently heard NeNe and Kim (AKA "Wig") have a roadtrip show in the works.

What what whaaaaat?

(That GIF cracked me up! )
I'll see if I can find the FB posting and copy it to the media thread...

 

ETA:

It's already there.

What did Claudia call it...stanky leg with a weak knee, lol.

Porsha's stanky leg is my favourite thing in the world. She did it last season too and it never fails to crack me up.

Between the multiple "I'm snacking" cut-aways this season, to her passing out like a tranquilized bear during yoga, Kandi is getting the most embarrassing edit, hands down.

[Watermelon]

Her inner Joyce is coming out.  It's harder to hold it back the older she gets.

[ThomasAAnderson]

Someone upthread said Phaedra is only good in her THs but has a wall up on the show. That may be true this season but her read of Mynique last season and Kenya at the reunion the season prior will go down as the best in Housewives history-- surpassing "who gon' check me boo".

Here's what I don't get about Kandi - she wants Phaedra to forgive Kenya, whose infractions are far worse than anything Nene did to Kandi - yet she can't find it to get over whateverthehell it is she has against Nene. Stay hypocritical, Kandi.

Because Kenya never did anything to Kandi, in her mind Kenya is clearly better than Nene.

Real acting, the art of becoming another person, is work. Hard work. I knew Nene was not serious about having a real acting career when she turned down her manager's suggestion of an acting class or acting coach last season. Nene just wants to show up and get paid and be famous and hang out with important people. She was right to head back to Bravo reality. She doesn't have the drive or stamina to carve out a quality acting career.

[Aging Goth]

Someone on another site made the point that Claudia should not have brought up the women's issues at the dinner table and let it happen naturally.  She also gave Team Twirl an acronym. 

Team TWIRL = Tacky Weak Insensitive Ratchet Losers

Made me laugh.

[raiderred1]

I agree with what others have said about Cynthia's looks.  OH MY GOD what has happened to that beautiful face.  I did not even pay attention to what was being said in this episode as all I could do is stare and try to figure out what the hell has happened.  So much makeup. The horrible blond wig.  Face tight as bark and I think I could see two "bee stings" on both sides of her mouth.  What the hell happened???

[SFoster21]

She looks like a different person. Not good.
