“Real Housewives of Atlanta” opens to big ratings
Clearly, viewers are not bored yet. “Real Housewives of Atlanta” brought home 2.7 million viewers Thursday night, the most for any “Real Housewives” franchise debut.
And that’s far more than the first episode of last fall, which attracted just 656,000 viewers, though interest grew steadily until the finale. That tension-packed special took in 2.8 million viewers.
In comparison, the season two premiere of ‘The Real Housewives of New York” opened at 1.6 million and the season two premiere of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” took in 1.1 million viewers.
The show also drew more than 1 million page views on bravo.com.
Including the 11 p.m. rerun, nearly 4 million people watched Sheree Whitfield’s little outburst with so-called party promoter Anthony Shorter.
I’ll have local numbers next week. I’m sure the show landed in the top 20 in Atlanta.

Broke loosers, ship them all back to the mother land,aka AFRICA. Oh, and the white drag queen, send that to Amsterdam, where prostitution is legal. See what a lack of education gets you?

Nene looks like a man. It’s clear she has had some work done since last season.
Sheree looks like a man. She’s a hoodrat out of hiding now.
Lisa is a tramp. Ask Keith Sweat.
Kim is a gold digger. I actually think she could be pretty. Her wig is not that bad. She just needs to style it better.
If we’re going to talk about wigs. Ummmmm she’s not the only one on the show with one on. Yep weaves and pieces count too.

Did anyone besides me notice that NeNe has the “girlS” up high!! Do we think that she had surgery or just got a good support bra?? On the reunion show she said they were just fine like they were — all sagging and heavy!! But, they sure are seeing the sunshine this year!!

THIS ARE A BUNCH OF UNEDUCATED WOMEN. IF THIS WOMEN REPRESENT HOUSEWIVES, I RATHER BE A MISTRESS. I THINK CAROL MORROW SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN ATLANTA HOUSEWIVE. AT LEAST, THEY WOULD HAVE HAD CLASS AND A HARD WORKER.
