The Real Housewives Of Atlanta Season 5

by Jessica Blackwell

 

"I love the gays! They invented everything!" - NeNe

 

NeNe and her larger than life personality rode in the L.A Pride Parade as part of her acting gig on the hit show, the New Normal. She was shown much love by her fans, who came decked out in t-shirts and matching hairstyles, all to support her. Greg showed up at the end of the parade to be there for her. Aww

 

Kandi thought it would be nice to invite Kenya out since she is new to the area, so she and Phaedra met her for lunch. Phaedra, who clearly has a thing for "donkey booties" was in awe over Kenya's butt, which she called a shelf. After the drooling stopped, Kenya filled them in on the drama that popped off between her and Cynthia at the Jet casting call. Kandi and Phaedra didn't give much of their own opinion on the subject, but they did think it was ridiculous that she had security just waiting to remove someone from a room. In Phaedra's words "If you're the late and great Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, or Dick Clark, then you need security." Took the words right out of my mouth. 

 

Kim has decided not to be proactive about her living situation. She keeps saying that she's homeless over and over, but yet she knows she has to move and won't do anything about it! And she has options, apparently she owns a townhouse but she doesn't want to take her family back there because it's a "crammed space". Just because it's not a 17,000 spare foot mansion worth 3.25 million doesn't mean it's a shoebox! Her lazy assistant Sweetie tried to gently tell her to make a decision, but Kim refused to accept the townhouse, citing the lack of pool and basketball court made it basically unlivable. 

 

For her birthday, Kroy rented Kim a boat and filled it with all her favorite foods and desserts, and she reacted with a perfunctory "all my favorite shit!" What a classy reaction Kim! When Kroy gave her the borrowed bracelet she wore at their wedding as a birthday gift, she had an appropriate response and shed some tears. What a sweet gift! As a reward, Kim invited Kroy to end their evening with a bang. Literally. 

 

"Let's talk about a real man before we talk about Walter" - Aunt Lori

 

Kenya invited her aunt over to see her new house and when Lori brought her flowers, she called them a "Walmart special". Ugh, how rude is that? The woman took her in when her mother didn't want her, and she can be that crass towards her? No wonder she treats everyone else like crap too.  

 

Although Kenya first said that she moved to Atlanta to be closer to family, at lunch Kandi said that she moved there to further relationship with Walter and Kenya agreed. Her aunt doesn't like the fact that she's been dating Walter for two years and she has yet to meet him. Kenya admitted that she doesn't want her aunt to scare Walter away, as she's done to other men in her life. She really just doesn't want her aunt's opinion because she knows that if her aunt doesn't like the man, then she can't continue a relationship with him. Isn't that delaying the inevitable? She has to meet her SO at some point! 

 

"He's a cutie pie and I think he'll give me pretty kids" - Kenya

 

Walter seemed to be unaware that Kenya moved to the area for him, squeezing out a strained "what do you mean" when she admitted that he had a lot to do with her move. Kenya decided to meet with her gynecologist and find out how viable her eggs were. Not only did she tell Walter about it, she made it clear that as a 41 year old woman, there is much pressure on her to have a family quickly since she wants to do it the natural way. Translation: Don't waste my time, the clock is ticking for me! Walter understandably downed a triple shot of Tequila after he received this news. 

 

She continued her "interview" of Walter and asked him about skeletons in her closet. He revealed that he asked Kandi out before and she turned him down. Kenya was not pleased at all! She felt that Kandi would always have one up on her, being able to say, "yea her man asked me out, but I said no". This revealed an insecure part of her I didn't expect to see.  One thing i learned about Kenya is that she comes on too strong in every aspect of her life and her relationship (?) is no exception. 

 

Although NeNe has had her issues with Phaedra in the past, she willing to put that all behind her and join Phaedra for a booty workout because she has no time for negativity. I hear that! After Phaedra impressed the gym employees with her booty, the ladies got to work! Cynthia had an idea to throw a welcome home party for NeNe, but NeNe countered with an idea to simply invite successful women and celebrate them. NeNe found a sliver of negativity down in her soul when asked if Kim would be invited. She diplomatically said everyone is invited, but that didn't stop her from having a pained expression on her face. 

 

The event ended up being called a Ladies Empowerment mixer and it was actually a very classy affair. Business cards and "success martinis" were flowing abundantly amongst beautiful and successful women. NeNe may have been ready to embrace positivity, but Kim did not feel the same way. As soon as she showed up to the party, she was looking for a reason to leave, eventually blaming her quick exit on a team dinner she had to attend with Kroy. After dubbing the party boring and NeNe rude, she and her disgruntled assistant headed out the door. They bumped right into NeNe who was on her way in, and she politely asked them to stay for a few more minutes. Kim agreed to stay after rudely asking NeNe is she was going to do something "big and grand" to make it worth her while. Then she left anyway. Obviously, Kim isn't interested in moving forward. 

 

Cynthia toasted NeNe and the whole time she was speaking, Kenya was mocking her like a high school mean girl. Then, in an attempt to steal Cynthia's thunder, she grabbed the mic from her and began her own speech. With Kenya seemingly determined to start drama, and NeNe determined to play nice, we should be in for a bumpy ride folks! 

 

Next week, the elusive Porsha will make her first appearance, and it looks like she bumps heads with Kenya! Stay tuned!
