Since Ms. NeNe has been working hard at her new job in L.A, she was excited for her girls to visit and let loose for a while. She worried about all the drama brewing between the girls, but she was hopeful that everyone would stay in their own lane so they could have a good time. Unfortunatly, her wish for a drama free trip would not be fufilled. 

The drama started when Phaedra missed her flight, and continued when the stretch hummer driver NeNe hired refused to go up the windy hill to the house and NeNe had to go retrieve them! After the rescue mission, NeNe took the ladies to the gorgeous accomodations she set up for them and invited them to a catered dinner at her house for 9pm. Apparently they were too tired to make it on time, because at 11:13pm they were still in route to her house. When they called to let her know they were on their way, she told them they were no longer welcome. 

Even though NeNe clearly no longer wanted their company, they still made the trek to her house. She was NOT kidding when she said they weren't welcome, so when they arrived, she didn't even allow them to enter the house OR get a to go plate! The ladies had mixed emotions about being rejected at the door: Kandi was pissed because she was hungry, Porsha was heated, and Phaedra was exhausted. Cynthia understood why she wouldn't let them in, but all of the other ladies felt like she could have at least let them in to get a plate. Nonetheless, she didn't and they were left in the cold. 

Since they got embarassed the night before, the housewives tried their best to be up and at em' the next morning. Kenya woke up early and made breakfast for everyone, but they still didn't eat until 11am. Even though they were NeNe's guests in L.A, Kenya wanted them to go to the Groundling Actor's worskshop that boosted her career. Even though NeNe was such stickler for timliness the night before, she showed up late to the workshop late. Can you say hypocrite? After the workshop, NeNe gave them a tour of Paramount Studios and then they headed to dinner. 

Dinner would have been a success, but many awkward topics that should have been avoided were brought up.  First was the workout tape. Kenya revealed that hers would be out in December and that she named it Kenya Moore's Booty Bootcamp and she was shooting it the following week, and Phaedra refused to reveal the name of her project, thinking that Kenya might try to steal that too. Then the topic of men using money to control women came up, and Porsha was asked if she felt that way in her marriage. Though she adamamantly denied that she felt controlled, we've all seen Kordell's behavior.

Then Kenya revealed that she and Walter broke up. Since she and Walter dated long enough for their firneds to become entertwined, the ladies wanted to know if it was still ok to invite him to social events. Then Porsha used that opporunity to smugly flaunt the fact that Walter attended Kordell's birthday party and he had a great time. Kenya stormed off after that little admission. NeNe, who I'm noticing like to stir up drama and then play referee, ran after her and tried to calm her down with no avail. 

Next week we're in for a ton of drama as the ladies head to Vegas, inlcuding more critisism of Porsha's marriage and a battle between Phaedra and Kenya! Stay tuned!
