This week on RHOA, the newbie Claudia was making waves!

Claudia is new to the show and is convinced that Porsha is throwing her shade. Her first interactions with the newly demoted housewife were fairly friendly, and then things took a turn. Both ladies work for the same radio station, and Claudia stepped into Porsha's (dressing?) room while she was getting her makeup done to chat with her a bit. Porsha was clearly trying to ignore Claudia the entire time. She wasn't making eye contact, and Claudia's attempts at conversation proved futile. It was painful to watch! Claudia was wracking her brain trying to figure out why Porsha suddenly turned to ice and she figured it must have something to do with her friendship with Kenya.

After their awkward encounter, Claudia was so bothered that she invited Porsha to lunch (she arrived on time, this time) to discuss the issue. Of course Porsha acted like she had no idea what Claudia was talking about, but then turned really cold when Claudia suggested that it may have something to do with Kenya. Then Claudia completely stepped outside of her bounds and asked Porsha what was going on with her and Kenya and asked if Porsha was open to having a conversation with her! Porsha told her point blank that she and Kenya's relationship (or lack thereof) was none of her business and that she needed to stay out of it. Right now, Claudia is playing innocent claiming she wants to attempt to bring two "sistas" back together, but Porsha and Kenya never had a relationship. They were never friends, they just tolerated each other. Claudia urged Porsha to get to know her for her and asked her not to judge her based on her friendship with Kenya, but we know from the previews that at some point, Claudia dates Porsha's ex-husband Kordell. I think this girl just might be out to get Porsha.

Also stirring up drama this week was none other than Todd Tucker. He's typically pretty low key on the show, aside from his drama with Mama Joyce that's usually self-defense on his end, but it seems his new title as Mr. Kandi Burress has given him some balls and a lack of boundaries. It's a well known fact that Kandi's team isn't the most productive year round, but they're her friends and they're there when she needs them - always. Now that their play wrapped up they haven't been doing much and Todd didn't like that.

Don Juan predicted this entire situation before their wedding. He told Kandi that he didn't want Todd coming in and trying to change or run things in the Kandi factory - which is exactly whats is happening. It kind of seems like Kandi's team just doesn't want to work but then again Don Juan made a good point. " I need Todd to take a look at Kandi before Todd Tucker. A grammy, number one singles, stores across country, successful bedroom Kandi. Todd Tucker's resume says what?" Good point Don, good point. Todd even accused Don of not capitalizing on the fact that we have a black president. "Why hasn't Kandi done anything with President Obama?" What?? It clearly sounds like he doesn't know what he's doing.  Todd was able to throw some compliments Don's way, which seemed to smooth things over - for now.

Besides the drama at the Kandi factory, Kandi stumbled upon a bit with Kenya that she didn't even ask for. Kandi actually apologized to Kenya for jumping on the bandwagon when Apollo was spreading lies about her. Lenya accepted her apology, but when Kandi told her that Porsha and Nene don't believe Apollo when he said he was lying, she got really upset. She stormed out of the gym, tried to block the cameras, and dissolved into tears. Then after calming down, she had a pity party saying "I keep getting knocked down, but I'll keep getting back up." Oh please girl, we all know you offered Apollo service in exchange for him clearing your name on TV! LOL I kid, I kid.

Next week all the housewives are in the same room! This means Cynthia and Nene AND Kenya and Porsha. Holy crap! Stay tuned!
