The taping of the reunion continued, sans Porsha. No official word on whether or not Andy will fire her over her physical assault of Kenya, but he officially banned props from the reunion stage. 

All the other housewives agreed that although it's not ok to lay hands on someone, Kenya provoked Porsha with her crazy antics. Kenya of course denied it, insisting that Porsha should have maintained her composure no matter what she did. 

Mama Joyce joined the stage, and some interesting things were revealed on the reunion couch. I noticed during the season that her behavior grew increasingly dramatic and wondered if she was trying to increase ratings or become a paid member of the show. Andy bluntly asked her if she was auditioning to become a housewife, and she responded that she was "waiting to get her peach". It's rumored that Kandi's good friend Tiny is planning to produce a show about reality mothers of Atlanta, hence all the drama and Todd hating. It all makes sense now! 

Mama Joyce swore that she wasn't trying to stop Kandi from marrying Todd just so she could continue to be financially comfortable, but it doesn't seem like that's the truth. Kandi revealed that her mother had credit cards in her name without her knowledge and that she started giving her only $700 a month because she was wasting money on the Home Shopping Network! For someone who claims she doesn't want Kandi's money, it sure seems like she's taking a lot of it. She also bragged about Kandi's success as if it were her own, boasting that she "raised a millionaire". SMH - Kandi may have to start rethinking her relationship with her mother - before she ruins her life. 

Cynthia and NeNe, once true friends, unfortunately are not speaking right now. After all the drama went down on the show, they just can't seem to get passed it. Cynthia was genuinely pouring her heart out, hurt by everything that was going on and NeNe was just cold as ice. SMH! 

Next week, the men join the stage, giving Peter a chance to do what he does best - squawk with the women or in NeNe's words, act like a little b*tch. Stay tuned!
