NeNe Leakes is a certified, tantrum throwing drama queen. Seriously, I don't know if the girls on Toddlers and Tiaras have anything on her! I gave her the benefit of the doubt when it came to the charity situation because it really did seem like Kenya was trying to either kiss her a** or make her look bad, but this week, there was no excuse for her behavior. 

Every one was mad at everyone else, Cynthia was mad at Peter, NeNe was mad at Kenya, and so on, but Marlo and Kenya managed to forage a new friendship amidst all the drama. Cynthia threw a surprise party for Peter despite being mad at him, and Kenya and NeNe used the venue as opportunity to discuss the drama at the charity event. They both may still have thought each other was full of s***, but they agreed to accept their roles in the brawl drama and put it behind them. Unfortunately, the shade of NeNe, or "Nay-Nay" as she likes to call her other personality, was then directed to Marlo! 

Apparently it is unacceptable for any of NeNe's friends to be friends with Kenya because the minute she realized that Marlo and Kenya were newly minted besties is the moment Marlo landed on her s*** list. After a few moments of seeing them snuggling and feeding each other appetizers, she had had enough. She promptly gathered her things, and NeNe, Nay-Nay and Greg twirled out of that joint. 

After her bout with an illness that left her looking pregnant, Cynthia was trying to get into physical fitness so she organized the first ever Bailey Bowl, a marathon of physical activity that she called an adult field day. Each of the ATL housewives formed their dream teams and prepared to compete against each other. It had the potential to be a really fun event, but not surprisingly, it didn't turn out that way. 

The first sign of trouble was when Marlo wasn't invited to be on NeNe's team, even though all her other bridesmaids were. As the games went on, tensions rose and peaked when Kenya tried to get Marlo and NeNe to talk. NeNe went nuts and started throwing things at Marlo, you know like a child. She then proceeded to walk away, but Marlo wasn't having that, and chased her down, shouting insults about her weave, claiming she was insecure and a bunch of other rude statements. 

After she stopped chasing NeNe, Marlo broke down to Kenya, probably because she realized there's no coming back after you insult NeNe's weave. I feel her dismay though...after all, it was all good just a week ago! The message NeNe sent was clear - if you want to remain on her good side, do not befriend Kenya! 

 Next week, the ladies travel to Mexico where some flirtation goes on between Apollo and Kenya, Kordell returns and Porsha reveals whether or not she agreed to be his beard. Stay tuned RHOA fans!
