My Final Real Housewives of Atlanta Blog

Posted by Ilana Angel

I tried to recap tonight’s episode from Africa and in the end just could not do it.  These chicks are shallow, petty, pathetic, jealous, bitchy and catty.  I could not get through it.  I am over these women and will no longer write about it.  I am checking out of Atlanta for good.  However, not before I give one final opinion of the “ladies”.

Cynthia:  This woman has two very separate personalities.  The one she shows to the talls and the one she saves for the smalls.  She is not loyal to anyone, and is just so dumb I find her hard to take.  I feel bad for her because I think she is inherently kind, but she is a robot and sucks up to whoever she is with.  We have no idea what her real opinions are.

Kandi:  Deep down in her talented self, she is really mean.  By deep down of course I mean she wears it on the surface.  This woman is skanky in what she is willing to talk about sexually when she has a young daughter.  I think she is rude, a troublemaker, immature and comes across as dirty not classy.  I would not want to be her friend because you cannot trust her.

Kim: If this chick thinks we believe for one minute she would have gone to Africa she is insane.  There is no way she is taking her wig collection on safari.  Kim got exactly what she wanted with her husband, new baby, and own reality show so good for her, but don’t think we are as dumb as you Kim. You were never going to Africa and we all know it Sweetie.

NeNe:  I like NeNe and think she is the breakout star of this show, but even she is not entertaining enough for me to watch this crap fest. The best thing NeNe can do for herself is walk away from this pathetic show, focus on her career outside of Bravo, take care of her kids, dump the creepy Italian, and try to win back the fans she lost along the way.

Phaedra:  Of all the women on the show Phaedra should be the most embarrassed.  She talks about being a Southern belle and how she is the most sophisticated of the group, but in the end this woman is not that classy if she continues to be on a show that is so unladylike.  This is not a show for ladies, so one can assume she really is not one.

Sheree:  This woman is simply not appealing.  She cannot speak English, has no respect for her friends, her children, or herself.  She is a grown woman who lives off her mother and I don’t get it.  She has not finished anything she started on this show, from her clothing line to her house, and there is nothing credible about her.  Lying is not cute Sheree.

If I were a strong and fabulous southern woman these women would piss me off to no end.  I don’t know much about the south, but I know enough to say that these women are embarrassing themselves, Atlanta, black women, and women in general.  I have been to Atlanta several times and it is a great city so it’s a shame these women are who Bravo has representing.

And so my blogging days about the unreal women of Atlanta comes to an end. I am not going to waste my time watching them, let alone writing about them. I checked out of Orange Country this week also, which is not a good sign for Bravo. They better figure this train wreck out because we are bored.  Time to take a close look at the franchise and start keeping it real.

I would love for you to blog about celebrity apprentice! With Victoria Gotti on there, folks are afraid to call her out as the weakest link! Start blogging on this show, please! Thanks!

I’m with ya…stopped watching Atlanta quite awhile ago. Did tune in for the two episodes shown so far regarding the trip to the African Continent.

All these two viewings did was remind me of why I stopped watching.

For me..none of these women and I mean not one displays any redeeming qualities.

The addition of Marlo makes me feel filthy for having watched. There is something so evil about this person and her pathetic attempts to convince viewers she has any knowledge whatsoever on how to behave even remotely human confounds me. Does she really think her demeaning demands to service people elevates her?

All these women took a wrong turn in a really bad neighborhood, got lost and never found their way out.

I absolutely understand why you don’t care to blog about the OC & Atlanta any further.  These shows are boring and the fights are ridiculous.  Last night’s show confirmed Kandi is mean and way too opinionated.  I never really saw her that way before.  Cynthia flip flops, she doesn’t have the maturity I expect.  The original idea of this franchise is so lost now, wasn’t it Kim, NeNe & Sheree that were long time friends?  With that missing, there is no point for these ladies to socialize.

Your blog is spot on!  Atlanta took a wrong turn after season 2 and never corrected their direction.  All of them are an embarrassment to women, to southern women, to black women!  I am very surprised at Kandi, guess she couldn’t resist falling under their spell.  The best of the show is Nene!  I wish her well.

Comment by Janie on 2/20/12 at 10:30 am

I completely understand.  I used to anxiously await the show, now I forget it is on.  And frankly, why should you worry about blogging about it?  The cast surely doens’t care about the folks that watch it, as they don’t blog either!
Best of luck to you!!

I totally agree with your blog about RHOA .  I could have written it but not as well as you, of course. This WAS my favorite HW show until this year. It has been slowly going downhill but picked up speed this year. Nene is still my favorite HW, eventhough she has been over the top recently. I can’t stand the others and this was the first time I had to turn it off before it was over. I believe that ship has sailed and it’s time to put it to rest. No one except for Nene, is interesting enough for me to watch. I hope she goes on to bigger and better things and agree with your statement about Nene taking care of her children and dropping the pizza king. It’s sad for me to not watch RHOA anymore….there were some fun times in the past but that’s not happening anymore.

Great post, Ilana. I quit watching a few weeks ago. I just cant do it anymore. it has become nothing but a screeching match for vulgar women. I have no desire to listen to Kandi and her porn, Kim and her foul mouth and her narcissism, Phaedra acting classy and religious but she gives male-strippers as party gifts. Nor, do I want to hear Sheree screech her poor excuse for english speech & grammar. I dont want to see Cynthia’s illiterate husband butcher speaking, nor NeNe and her big mouth nor the new potential ax murderer, Marla. I am so done too. Every show started out well, but BRAVO destroys them by going deep in the gutter.

I agree with the 1st one who commented. Pls blog on Celebrity Apprentice. I love your blog and your insights.

Comment by Anne R on 2/20/12 at 4:28 pm

As much as I enjoy your recaps, Ilana, I made up my mind to quit RHOA after last nights episode. None of these women, as far as this show goes, are appealing, interesting or even the slightest bit entertaining. A trip to Africa would be a dream come true and these so called ladies didn’t seem to treaure this gift. Good riddance.

UNFAIR!!! You cannot fault Phaedra for the company she’s forced to keep. They sign a three year contract - she’s stuck. Besides which, she’s going to use this show to promote that funeral business or die trying.

But seriously, the way she stood up to the witch doctor and refused to participate because it conflicted with her beliefs - you go, Phaedra!! This woman has SPINE.

So slam the rest of them, and I’ll 100% agree. But Phaedra stands on her own.

Comment by pidge on 2/21/12 at 11:23 am

I must agree with half of the women!! But Kandi, Sheree & Phaedra r stand up business women!! Nene is a spineless old hag who will be dropped soon all she does is slam everyone including her so called friends!! BRAVO is making BIG BANK off these shows so I don’t see them ending anytime soon!!
On another subject why was I blocked from your twitter?? I don’t agree with everything u say but believe in your freedom to have your own opinion!! I ask why should I take my time out to read your blogs & have never said a word about u, but am blocked?? PLEASE explain, because I would like to keep reading….

As a Southern woman,and an Atlanta native, I can assure you that these women in no way represent the majority of women in Atlanta. These women are not a part of the Atlanta elite, or even members of average Atlanta society. They are manufactured celebs, just for your television consumption, and as in New York, OC and BH they do not represent the reality of our communities. We have many accomplished and gracious women, of all races, who would better represent our city. Sadly, that is not the kind of show Bravo chooses to produce.

I, too, have signed off the ATL “wives” (what a misnomer). Whom can we correspond with at Bravo to air our views on their choices for these so-called ‘housewife’ shows? White noise, hoot owl screeching or a wailing siren would be preferable to the current programming.
