‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ recap: season 4, reunion, part 3: the insults are over!
CREDIT: Bravo
Loading ...This is it!
The longest season is over!
As we enter the third and final hour of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” reunion shows for season four, we witness yet again what is considered a staple in the “Real Housewives” oeuvre: arguments where each woman is talking over the other one to the point where you can’t really follow what’s going on. It’s obfuscation via vociferous venting.
If there were a “Real Housewives 101″ course at the local community college, this type of argumentative style could take up an entire class. From a viewers’ standpoint, it’s like watching a wrestling match or a hockey fight: entertaining with virtually no actual nourishment included.
Marlo Hampton and Sheree Whitfield worked the verbal jousting quite famously in South Africa, adding in strange facial expressions, anti-gay slurs and juvenile imitations of each other. ( “I don’t even remember that moment,” Sheree said in retrospect.) Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes have talked over each other several times. Kandi Burruss worked it tonight with Marlo, as did Cynthia Bailey and Kim.
Host Andy Cohen, when this happens on a reunion show, is like a referee who lets the idiocy go on just long enough before he says, “Hold it!” and sends each woman back to their respective corners.
During the Kim/Cynthia jousting, Cynthia regurgitates an argument from season one’s reunion show, which we even get to see again featuring NeNe’s infamous line to Kim: “Close your legs to married men!” And Marlo must have seen that first season show as well, because NeNe used a nasty insult (”Hooker!”) to Kim that first season, which Marlo recycles using the even tawdrier “Whore!”
Watch the season one moment for nostalgia’s sake:
Kim once again defends dating Big Poppa, despite the fact he was still married. Why? He was separated and not living with his wife. Kim spent plenty of time with him. (Yet if things were so great, why did she never say Lee Najjar’s name on air?)
During this argument, a genuine snarky smile emerges from NeNe’s usual pursed lips. And Cohen utters, “I thought you two made up!”
Then we quickly segue to a classic Marlo vs. Kandi dust up.
Andy asks Kandi how she feels about Marlo calling her a “sugar mama” during an earlier taped party. Kandi says she thought that was funny. She was more annoyed by how Marlo was deliberately trying to rile things up between her and Kim by saying Kandi was like “big poppa” in earshot of Kim and her then boyfriend Kroy Biermann.
To back up her case, Marlo says Kandi is dating a Bravo production guy, who does not make nearly as much money as Kandi and drives Kandi’s car. Kandi said he has his own vehicle, a Range Rover, and owns his own place to boot.
Then Kandi goes for the jugular: “I don’t care if I took care of every mother-****** in here. I could!” (In other words, who’s really rich here, b****?)
It’s odd that Marlo, who has no problem dating rich men, is going after Kandi for being her own woman. Marlo also has an incredibly annoying argumentative facial expression, which usually features a very fake smile. At least Kim and NeNe “look” angry while they yelp at each other. Kandi flails her arms about and bugs her eyes out.
After mocking both Kim (”whore!”) and Kandi (”sugar mama!”), Marlo gives an odd summary of her viewpoint: “Bottom line. The girls are just worried what Marlo does. Who cares what I do? I don’t care what you do! I don’t care if Kandi takes care of 50 men or if Kim slept with 50 people. You have to get to know me as a person.” So she somehow claims to “not care” and then insult Kim and Kandi again. Impressive!
In other, less compelling, topics:
- The “Smalls” (effectively, Phaedra, Kim and Sheree) accuse of Cynthia of being two faced. “She changes when she comes around you,” Sheree said to NeNe. Then to Cynthia: “Your demeanor is totally different.”
Kandi adds: “You have one opinion one day. Then your opinion changes when [NeNe] is around.”
- NeNe accuses the Smalls of kowtowing to Kim and reporting to the “boss” whenever something happens. (They all say they’re their own boss – or more truthfully, given how much cash they get from Bravo, NBCUniversal is their boss.) And Cynthia noted how th Smalls grovel and seek Kim’s approval and apologies.
- Later, in a sort of farewell montage to Sheree, we see her arguing with Kim (pulling her wig), verbally rocking it with a so-called party planner (”who gonna check me boo?”), going at it with NeNe (”Your first car was repo’ed in the parking lot of Home Depot!”) and then parrying with Marlo. “I’m not proud of all those,” Sheree says afterwards.
- There is still tension between Kim and NeNe. Yawn.
- None of the Smalls admit to seeing NeNe on “Glee.”
- NeNe, who was already trying to get acting roles while “Real Housewives” season one was being cast in 2008, helped get both Sheree and Kim on board. She says the producers thought Sheree was “a tad boring” but NeNe went to bat for her. They didn’t originally think of casting a white person on the show but Kim was perfect, they thought. (I do recall NeNe saying at least some of this before the show had even aired.)
At the end, Cohen had each castmate summarize their current goings on:
- Besides “Glee,” NeNe has a new wine coming out. This was taped before we found out she was cast in an NBC Ryan Murphy pilot as a recurring role.
- Cynthia continues to run her modeling agency and loves teaching the classes.
- Kandi’s Bedroom Kandi is doing well and she’s in love.
- Phaedra wants to create a video to focus on creating a better booty as well as learning the funeral business.
- Sheree is hoping to revive She By Sheree with fitness apparel and shoes.
- Kim’s spinoff show is coming out April 26 and she has a new country song “Love Me First.”
NOTABLE QUOTES
“She was in prison for a reason. She’s crazy!” Kim, on Marlo
“I will watch myself on the show and bust out laughing.” - NeNe. (Kandi rolled her eyes.)
“The way you’re going, I’m going to have to give you some.” Kandi, referencing cash, to Marlo, who didn’t make it as a cast member of “Real Housewives of Atlanta.” Somehow, she didn’t meet Bravo’s stringent high standards!
“My house is paid for!” – Kandi. Some other folks on the show? Not so much.
“She can be a baby NeNe,” - NeNe, about Marlo, in an oddly condescending way considering they’re friends.
“I will always have a lot because haters like you keep hating. Look at me!” – Marlo, the woman whose ego has no bounds. Does that even make any sense?
“Think before I speak.” - Marlo, noting the lesson she learned from using that anti-gay slur in South Africa that rhymes with “gag.”
“I’m always taught a man is supposed to protect and provide. I’m sorry. Some women have to protect and provide,” Marlo, justifying her own behavior while oddly belittling Kandi for being an independent woman.
RATINGS
The second reunion show on Thursday, which isn’t a normal night for “Housewives of Atlanta,’ drew 2.54 million viewers, slightly below average for the season as a whole and down from Sunday’s fireworks-filled reunion show. It’s comparable to what the second reunion show last year drew (2.65 million.)
UPDATE: This finale episode drew 3.23 million, up slightly from a week earlier and the best numbers for a reunion episode ever. So all the drama brought viewers back after ratings slipped in the second half of the season.

Mark Zuckerberg is the name of the founder of facebook. This young man is extremly rich but very humble and down to earth at the same time. I watched an interview with him and his longtime girlfriend and they both are well rounded young people who don’t brag or talk about money. Whenever you see these 2 they are always casually dressed.

Kandi = GANGSTA! I wish I could run up on her out here. It would be a wrap for the camera man, and not because she has a little money. I have just always dug her chocolate fine @zz with that heavy little voice of hers. You know she’s aggressive in the squared circle. She does need to reel it in juuussst a little bit with her weight though, as it can become a bit to work with. For the record and so everybody is aware, Kandi’s estimated net worth is well over $40 MILLION, so suffice it to say it is SHE who is self-made, and from a youngsta at that. She’s been in the driver seat a long time and relatively low key about it. Nothing “ghetto” about Kandi, she just speaks up when she has too and does so forcefully.

I have always felt that the RHOA are an insult to the city. They are poor representations of Finer Womanhood. I still want to clarify. I love Phadrea because she appears to have old-fashioned morals. NeNe is not as educated as she wants people to believe. She thinks being a social butterfly is important! She is just a “little shot” trying to be a big shot”!
When yo are secure in who you are, you don’t need things to define you. Cynthia needs to learn to think for herself. She doesn’t act like a person of confidence being a Model. I’m really sorry to see Sherre is leaving, but I wish they would reconsider. They may be housewives, married or not, but still poor examples , try the ghetto next time since most of these ladies have poor English skills.

MarHo is a 1st class clown
NeNe has become old Kim. No matter how loud or obnoxious she becomes. She was still legally married taking gifts and leading on a guy
Cynthia is a sucker…a follower…trying to get loud once MarHo and Nathaniel Leakes come around her. Did anyone see how she whipped her hair in front of Kandi? You and Peter (Uncle Ben) deserve each other with ya broke @$$e$
She by Shenaynay…besides you throwing people under the bus and driving it, Nathaniel Leakes told you the truth…why would you not use the RHOA platform to create more opportunities for yourself? Who’s going to (give you a) check boo?
Kandi…you should send all of those chicks new Louboutins with the heels broke off
Phaedra…everybody knows that you and Kandi are the real money makers on that show

Let me say that the fourth season of HOA was not a juicy as the previous seasons. However, I do respect NeNe for speaking her mind and staying consistent in what she says. You can tell NeNe was raised by her grandmother. NeNe is very old school. She is not overtly into sex (e.g. talking about it, looking at it or doing it). She believes in consequences for her children, i.e. Bryson (let him stay in jail and hopefully learn a lesson). She believes in the sanctity of marriage (though she accepts gifts from the white man, she is not sleeping with him) That is southern Black womon rule number one, do not give up the cookie, especially to a white man, make them work for it, if you give it up at all. She cooks. She says “please” and “thank you” to people she interacts with, e.g. her nanny, hotel staff, waiters, bartenders, airport staff etc. She is articulate. Her rebutal to Sheree about kids stealing not being a reflection on their parents, was right on point. You can train a child in the way they are suppose to go, but in the end they make their own decisions.That is no reflection on the parent, when you know you have done all you could do in raising your child. I just like NeNe. Remember it was NeNe who was the runaway STAR of HOA when it debuted and put the show on the map.
Kim on the other hand is dumb. Poor Kroy will be broke in about one year from now and/or divorced from Kim. Her oldest daughter will be preganant by the time she is 16. The youngest may make it. She seems to be the less self-centered daughter. Quiet as its keep, Kim is a racist. The way she talks at (not to) Sweetie is how a Mistress (no pun intended) talks to a slave. Sweetie is dumb for allowing Kim to speak to her in that manner. However, Kim got it from her parents. Her father said in one esposide, “that’s your girl, if she were me girl she would have been gone a long time ago” (referring to Sweetie) . “Girl”, really! Kim has no manners. Marlo’s equitette book wouldn’t do her any good.She is rude and uncouth. It is inbred.
Kandi- Have you watched her eat. It is disgusting how she chews her food. It is like a cow chewing its cud. Ugh! She has little bitty hands and fingers and you know what they say about women with little bitty hands and fingers. Hmmm, could that be why she has entered the sex toy industry???
Sheree- Is a want-a-be. What womon would not put their ex-husband in jail for non-child support payments??? Especially in Georgia, where they get the money upfront. Your children come first Ms. Sheree, not a handbag. She got boo-koo money from her husband in her divorce settlement, where did that go?? Could it be that Sheree is trying to live above her means. She needs to get a job and stop blaming others for her mis-deeds and failure to take responsible for her life.
Cynthia- Oh, Cynthia, the queen of passive agressiveness. Cynthia has gone got passive agressivness down to a fine science. Watch out Peter, she is not as dumb as she looks.
Phadera- Keep the oneliners coming. Question Phadera-why did you accept payment from your “cleint” in the parking lo?. Looked very shady. No receipt, no legal papers nothing and the transaction was in CASH!!!! Phadera- the lawyer, you know better….looks very shady.

Calling Sweetie a slave is an insult to centuries of chattel slavery. Sweetie was paid to do a job that she didn’t do well and she was subsequently fired.

Marlo using the word…got is real! She really feels that way because in the heat of the moment those words don’t come unless deep down inside… The talls are all about the money without that they would go back to the life of crime and in the back woods of the deep south. Cynthia is two-faced and really doesn’t have a opinion of her own. Her husband is using her! At the end of the day family counts!

Khandi- really when was Khandi relevant before the show. Like yea ok she had some dollars due to the fact she was in a group but really she was never on tiny(bandmate) level before her sex toy line.(CONGRATS to her) she never gave nene a chance she just took manipulative kims side. she always up her ass that bitch didn’t pay her and she still her friend. I don’t get it. Let’s keep it real as she say. And she moves extremely too fast with relationships. Slowwww down
Nene- she has changed from season one. She letting the money get to her your just a bravo housewives
Kim- can we say a money hungry hoe. She acts as if now she better than ppl just because she got football player. Bitch you was messing with a married man you said it yourself on the first season. That’s why he couldn’t be shown. Her oldest child is too grown for her own good. Kim is just dumb, and plays.victim too much she thinks she can say what she wants to ppl and not get a reaction. What does she do to have a nanny???
Cynthia- I guess my favorite she keeps to herself and just actually act her age. I only disagree with how she let’s peter treat her sister like that.
Phaedra- she alright she just does too much and goes overboard for me but hey do you.
Sharae- the most jealous broke perpetrating bitch of them all. Like Phaedra said throws everybody under the bus. Has an excuse for why every project of hers fail. Low key jealous of everybody admit it. And I hate when she argues because she always gets this weird voice.
Marlo- she’s ok. Why is everybody judging her for doing the same thing Kim does. At least she bein honest bout hers and if she is an escort. At least she’s a high paid escort. With all her fashions as she say lol. Let her do her why they mad lol.

I tip my hat to Kandi for the most famous Quote on Reality TV…”If I want to take care of every Mo%^%$efer in here I COULD ( in my Kandi voice)!!!! “CUDOS” I think I will purchase your next CD “Leagally”!!!!!
Ne Ne surprised me this reunion by giving the reward for the most Ignorant statement to Sheree!!! Stupid to say the least////You can’t throw blows at someone by using the actions of their children…. Tacky at best…I found myself rooting for Ne Ne..WOW…Change..
Kim and that model,,,Why r you still on the show??? The model is a dumb “a” who allowed her husband to punk her every chance he got.
Kim, Kim, Kim why are they paying you???
Phadrea..funny but a bit ignorant ////oh, did I say in desperate need of english lessons,,…..can’t articulate …, I guess the standards of law school r dropping….A funeral home would be best,;;who is listening there…

I LOVE “THE TALLS”!!! Marlo put it best! She basically kept it real saying what the streets are saying. Kandi is a “Sugar Momma”, Sherre is broke and where is “Never Land” and Kim is still munching of Big poppa’s rings and belomgings and all that furntiture is Kendra’s. You people on here don’t know the half, Bravo does sooooo much editing.

probably bought that range rover you say your man has, talk about not braging. marlo is a around
about town lady, and she hears the gossip about you and kim. marlo is friends with miss lawrence
and she dated footballer, charles grant, she knows about football saleries. we all know, (the viewers)
that kroy is no big poppa, by no means. maybe now kim, like kandi, is a big mamma, with her boy
toy. am i the only one who thinks kroy is not cute….at all.

Kandi’s just 1 failed album away from a nervous break down. Part 3 of the reunion was so hard to watch, mainly due to Kandi’s voice being a nasally nightmare. I couldn’t even hear Marlo’s accusations, for Kandi yelling like a maniac solely to drown Marlo out before the true was heard. Kandi’s so pathetic to even attack Marlo when she and the SMALLS are the reason Marlo’s even on the show. The SMALLS failed attempt at antagonizing NeNe with Marlo’s presence, backfired and now as Marlo said on the reunion “I found a friendship with NeNe and now the Smalls don’t want me anymore”. The SMALLS are so transparent!

marlo was probably not lying about kim and her ring, she bought kroy that porche, (or rented), and
she probably traded big poppa’s ring for the one she has now. who do these people think they are
kidding? marlo know what she’s talking about, she probably know every jewelry owner in atlanta or
ga. she did her homework and got the dirt on every woman on the show, because she knew they
were going to throw dirt her way. way to go marlo, i’m a fan. team talls.

Just want to clear up some false assumptions…
1. Kandi did not make her money as a member of Xscape, I’m from Atlanta so I remember… she made it by writing and producing hit songs for many artists, including but not limited to TLC, Whitney Houston and Destinys Child. So even if you didn’t know her before RHOA she has been very relevant in the music industry for a long time…She has always been savvy with her money and lives below her means, none of the other “wives” can say that, hell half of them are still renting. Also Kandi liked NeNe when she first came on the show, it was NeNe who was drinking Hater-ade and gave Kandi a hard time from the start, so go back and watch that season. They butted heads because Kandi didn’t let NeNe punk her…
2. Gossip is not fact, therefore just because someone says it doesn’t make it so, but what is a fact is that Marlo does not have a real “job” and is famous for nothing but going to jail so obviously her bills are being paid with someone else’s money (especially since her boutique didn’t succeed and has been closed for a while) and at this point I can’t see her going back to bartending.
3. I’m sure Bravo’s editing only shows the juicy stuff, it’s all about ratings to Andy, but editing clips leaves things out, not re-arranges what you say and how you act, those things are crystal clear, so if you appear shallow (Marlo), self-righteous (NeNe), cut-throat (Sheree), unintelligent (Sheree) or a braggart (NeNe & Marlo) then that’s what you are.
I’m not for the “talls” or the “smalls” just for common sense…blogs seem to be the perfect arena for people to make ignorant and false statements just because they can…please stop or at least spell-check and use complete sentences…ugghhh!

For all the ignorant haters on here Kandi money comes not from her former group but song writing and producing. Every time a song is played that she wrote she is getting paid. She isstill writing and producing songs for different singers. If you go to fulton county and fayette county property tax page Kandi has 5 properties Paid for not renting or buying but PAID for. The houses are for family members that she has helped along the way. She didn’t do the Evelyn (basketball wives) and leave her mom and sister in the ghetto while she lived in her nice home. See instead of buying labels Kandi was giving back to family. Marlo wish she had half of what Kandi had.

Money does not mean class. Kandi’s “MF” statement made her look just as bad as the rest of the ladies. Because she can “buy all the mfs” in the room does not make her special. I’m sick of her obsession with sex and sex toys. Maybe now that she has a man the sex talk will stop. Ladies most of you have daughters…OMG.

@ KAR…thank you! My sentiments exactly. Her attitude is stank & she’s no better than any of the other women. She is just as foul. If I was her mother I would be dashamed of her & if I was her daughter I would be too. That just goes to show that khandi would be willing to sell her soul to the devil just for the almighty dollar, regardless of how it will impact her daughter. Now, what’s she going to do if her daughter asks for a tickler for her 13th birthday? And for the record, im not a holy roller, im juss sayin…

As another article adequately put it…you can dress a pig up in Gucci and Prada, but it will still be a pig named Marlo – I think all of these women are superficial, misdirected, classless dunces for the most part, and to some degree, except maybe for the business acumen and creativity of Phaedra and Kandi, but that fake, shallow, ugly ass mess of a woman Marlo Hampton is the worst of the lot. She is just ugly, inside and out, and is a dunce of such extreme proportions I sob inside with pity at her ignorance and disillusionment. I live for the educated black gay man that checks her for that ignorant sterotypical comment to Sheree about ‘what black gay man wouldnt want her at his party’ as if all black gay man can contribute to society is fawning over some plastic wannabe Barbie hooker woman. Bitch please….. get a life with your hard faced, trying to be fabulous ass.

I am so disappointed with this season of RHOA. NeNe is a bully and an user. I can’t stand to watch her. NeNe has nothing but negative things to say. I believe it is because she is very unhappy. I prefer not to see her at all. I don’t really know what happened between she and Greg, but she dogged him on the show. We all know the market fell and the economy remains awful. When the going got tough she got going. She dropped Greg like a bad habit and threw salt in an open wound by saying she made more money than Greg. She is a gold digger and the classic bully! Awesome role model! Yet, America is embracing this characteristic of hers-sad!. Marlo just wants a show of her own. I wouldn’t watch her. Cynthia please…Cynthia is fake. I could do without her. Actually, I would love to see Kim and Kroy (love Kim’s transformation), Kandi and Phaedra. I don’t know if NeNe and Marlo think their behavior is cute-it is not! Kandi nor Phaedra never wavered. Phaedra and Kandi are very classy people. I think what bothered me most about this season was NeNe. She changed for the worst.

Faith you said it! And why is Nene speaking proudly of her success/ all wish they had/ but when Nasel-voice biker short / suga mamma Kandi’s ghetto comment ” I can take care of” considered the line of the night????? The moment of the night was Nene’s revealing that she was responsible for getting 2 of the smalls on the show/ and yes they admitted it! Kim even had to give her props! Bring Marlo back in place of Sheree! Marlo set Miss Sex toy off! Kandi was never the same when Marlo revealed her true self ! Kandi has no where else to go but down! And please what is the big put down about “renting” anybody with any $$sense, wouldn’t buy a dog house in Atlanta’s crappy real estate market! So Kandi, keep buying houses, as big as your behind is getting, you will need all the houses you can get!

Did you watch the same show I watched. NeNe and Marlo was the one talking about Renting not Kandi. This is what happens when you don’t pay ATTENTION. Kandi was not the one talking about Renting. Are you in denial about NeNe and Marlo being fake uppity.

Poor Marlo didn’t realize lying about saying that word because she didn’t want Sheree to laugh at her and host pulled her card showed why “A mind is a terrible thing to waste!” Even that ignorant NeNe would have owned up to that mistake IMMEDIATELY!!! The Talls are so high school mentally it’s sad!

Rickster & Rebbecca you GOT IT RIGHT. The people of Atlanta must pretty embarrassed,Strong Black women need not be portrayed as trash talking ghetto thugs. Michele OBama would also be appalled. The fact that Bravo TV would allow someone who has been arrested, call girl, hostess or “escort” as Marlo calls herself, is VULGAR. NeNe Leakes is all about herself, very rude, very very fake, loud and DISRESPECTFUL. Watching this was woman was mind boggling as she barked next question, or PROBLEM??? THE HIGHLIGHT OF THIS SHOW HOWEVER IS PHADRA PARKS AND KANDI BURESS AS IS KIM ZOLCIK.
PHADRA PARKS IS A TRUE SOUTHERN WOMAN, WITH CLASS AND ETTIQUETTE THAT IS A JOY TO WATCH. Take note Sheree, Phadera tried to help you but, you did not take her advice
Kims transformation has been amazing to watch and wish her the best.
My hope is that NeNe and Marlo go back to their ghetto ways and leave the show, but, face it folks they NEED THE MONEY.

almost forgot about reunion three sunday night, I did enjoy Kandi’s line too, she did indeed put them in their place with that one, but I agree w/some others, she moves too fast w/men. When she made a statement about ‘who’s man doesn’t spend the night if you’re in a relationship’, no Kandi, EVERYBODY’S man DOES NOT spend the night, especially when they have children. Remember everything you do, your daughter sees it. Drucella, you were on point, I DID pick up that “your girl” statement by Kim’s dad. Again, Kim needs to stop acting like she’s brand new, and although I wish her well in her marriage, mainly b/c of Kroy and I think he’s been hoodwinked, she wants to act like she has amnesia….. a self-admitted HO and mistress, get off of Marlo. Now, Sheree, looks like NeNe won again. She talked about how she helped get you on the show b/c the producers thought you were boring, and you had all this back talk, like you were all that. Well, looks like she’s getting the last laugh. Although I hate to see anyone fired from their job, b/c we all need income, guess you ARE too boring, thus your demise. In the end, you’ll see that it was best. You probably need some time to regroup and get yourself together. Remember the word, humble.

The atlanta housewives: I’m happy for Kim she deserves happiness. NE NE is loud, rude and just plan getto. Let’s not forget her patrner in crime Marlo, That’s why they are such good friends. Both of them have travel down similar paths. Kandi will always be successful and will never have to depend on anyone but self for success. Phadera is classy but stable and know how to maintain her peace and calmness without losing her dignity. Sheree has many personal issue starting with that dead beat ex husbands of hers which she is going to deal with for life. Finally, Cynthia has no guts and really need to stand up for what’s right and be a women about it.The shows is good for entertainment if that’s your choice. However, I just hope all of them watch and make note of the lessons learned.

First and foremost Kandi, you are “GHETTO” you stooped so low, that you made me sick, God is not pleased with the way you act. After watching Kandi with her ill curse words, as far as I am concerned you have sunk to an all time low, I will not be watching anything that you are involved with. Who the hell cares about what you have? Sorry that you can’t get a man without paying for one!!! I wish they never would have put you on the show!!!!! “Money does not buy Happiness”

As for Sheree, your character in this season was terrible, is that the only way to get time, is to around tattle tale on others. You are like a little girl who never grew up!! You should have used that energy on your Ex-Husband, how dumb was that to not put his but in jail for not paying for his children for 4 years, you are just as dumb as he is!!!! Believe me, the show will not miss a woman who cannot stand up for herself!!!

As far as Marlo goes: Girl I must say that your hair was Slamming on the Re-Union show, it is hard to believe that you and Sheree have the same hairdresser!! I hope that they decide to bring you back, because you kept the show exciting!!!
