‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ recap (’Excess Breeds Success’), season 5, episode 2

Cynthia Bailey hosts a party to celebrate her BFF NeNe Leakes at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. CREDIT: Bravo

Cynthia Bailey hosts a party to celebrate her BFF NeNe Leakes at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. CREDIT: Bravo

Kenya Moore, who was Miss USA (not Miss America, people!) ups the irritation quotient week two:

Let me count thy ways:

1) She gets all catty with Phaedra Parks and Kandi Burruss at the Bottle Bar in Buckhead, recounting her time doing the “Jet Of the Week” judging contest with Cynthia Bailey last week with disdain, including the moment she had Cynthia’s assistant “thrown out” by security. (Phaedra said Whitney Houston or Michael Jackson needed security. But Kenya? Really?) Kenya said she felt like the Wizard in the Wizard of Oz and Cynthia was the scarecrow with no brain repeating what she had just said. Cynthia thinks she’s full of herself and disrespectful.

2) Kenya gets pointlessly jealous when her boyfriend Walter (who owns a towing company) said he once asked Kandi on a date but she rejected him. Kenya got real upset at one point, but the multiple tequilas seemed to calm her down.

3) While Cynthia holds an “appreciation” party for NeNe Leakes and her success in Hollywood at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Buckhead, Kenya openly mocks her by saying, “I love you Kandi. I love you Phaedra!” while Cynthia is talking. Then Kenya has the temerity to take the mic and starts her own speech, first by saying, “Enough of the clown show,” followed by this unctuously insincere “It’s really sweet Cynthia would throw a party for her BFF. It inspires us to be kind and sweet to each other.”

4) Then she pulls NeNe to the side right in front of Cynthia and tries to befriend her by saying that Cynthia’s negative impression of Kenya shouldn’t impact NeNe’s efforts to like her. She also mocks Cynthia as a mere “talking head.” Cynthia has no real comeback, just says she’s NOT a “talking head.” Later, to the RHOA cameras, she comes up with some wittier comments, such as: “She’s a very attractive woman. But if you’re ugly on the inside, you’re ugly on the outside.”

Updates on the other women:

- Kandi is moving into her new fancy mansion home with her boyfriend Todd, a pad that impresses Phaedra more so than the dismissive Kim last week.

- The producers attempt to revisit the tiresome Kim Zolciak-NeNe dynamic yet again. Kim shows up to Cynthia’s party for NeNe but leaves just as NeNe arrives. NeNe tries to be conciliatory again but Kim is her usual jerk-ish self. NeNe wants Kim to stay five minutes to hear NeNe’s speech but Kim says she’s running 40 minutes late to get home yada yada yada. Then Kim lies and says she’s going to the bathroom and will be back to hear NeNe.  She leaves. Classy, that Kim, as always.

- NeNe gets emotional at a Pride event in Los Angeles to promote “The New Normal.” She’s taken aback how much love she gets from the gays. She even brings her teen son Brentt along. Gregg, her ex husband, pops in at the last second. It seems like they’ve reconciled.

- Phaedra works out with NeNe and Cynthia at one point at Buckhead’s Body Sculptor, owned by ‘The Biggest Loser” trainer Dolvett Quince, but Dolvett isn’t the trainer. Phaedra also noted earlier in the episode she wants another baby.

- Based on the trailers, Porsha Williams Stewart finally shows up in the third episode and quickly comes to blows with Kenya. Of course.

QUOTES

“I’m not used to living in a crammed space. We need every square foot of a 17,000 square foot space.” - Kim Zolciak, acknowledging a problem 99.9% of the population does not have.

“Were you before or after Vanessa Williams?” - Cynthia, trying to ding 41-year-old Kenya Moore, who is much younger than Williams.

“If Miss USA could take her gown, her sash and her crown and just wave her way right out the door, I’d be very happy.” - Cynthia.

RATINGS

Although there were signs people were getting tired of the show last season, “Real Housewives of Atlanta” came back strong last week. The fifth season opener debuted at a solid 3.2 million viewers. That’s actually the highest opening ever for the show.  This is up from the 2.9 million viewers that opened last season. The show averaged 2.8 million viewers last season and a peak 2.9 million viewers season three.

It’s as though producers said, “You WILL be mean and arrogant or you will not be a new housewife,” to Kenya. Never a fan of Kim’s, but lying to NeNe and leaving after NeNe made a sincere effort made me like her even less. Wow, that Phaedra has a really unusual way of chewing, which producers have picked up on as they showed it a lot! I do like Phaedra, though! She’s entertaining.

Plus, I liked Kandi even more after last night. The voice of reason regarding buying that house(s)! I feel sorry for the girls in the Jet competition when they viewed the episode last night. Kenya was clearly mocking them with her closing statements.

Phaedra’s “unusual” way of chewing is a result of a bad botox job…..am starting to wonder about this

I had to speak on when Kim and Sweetie and Kandi house. First I just want to say to Kandi, Lady those action always speak louder than words and with that house you have I heard you all the way in the Seaport now lets get to business.

To Sweetie, the words hood and ghetto should not come out of your mouth at the Same D@# Time just a train wreck seeing you and hearing those words in my Chad Ochocinco voice..Child Please!

To Kim, She bought it stright up its her’s you and your seeing eye dog look and should like team hater. Kim you have life twisted you are so over the top until your really on the bottom.

Kandi tell them your house have a house.

@Debra Moore — agree completely! That was the one thing I didn’t like about Kandi last night. Another single mother moving in a man. It’s wrong for many reasons. Think about Riley and how she’ll feel if it doesn’t work out? So many stats that say it’s a bad idea (for many different reasons).

The person I do not understand on this show is Cynthia Bailey. She was a super model that could have written books, cosmetic line, etc.
Why lower yourself to be on this show with these women. Kandi too! The girl has GRAMMYS and lots of money. Now Kandi does not act like a fool like the rest of them, but the truth is.. NeNe and these other poor souls need this show but Kandi and Cynthia DO NOT

Please get some bleach and do something about your dark, discolored knees. I was shocked, as I am every week, to see those dusty crusty knees in the opening. I don’t care how much oil you put on your legs, it still looks horrible. Kenya before you start throwing stones check the ones on your face…OMG. I am so proud of Cynthia, hold your head up!

I do not care for Kenya. It’s like the producers put an extra clause and extra $$ in her contract to be a complete classless, irritating, disrespectful beyotch. To take the microphone from Cynthia like she did, then call the event clownlike was extremely disrespectful.

BTW Kenya, I surmise you had better skin when you entered those contestants, because now, it’s horrible. You might want to ask the camerman to stop with the closeups! IJS….

And, let me say NeNe took the high road and extended the proverbial “olive branch” and Kim snapped it in half, stepped on it, and walked out the door. I know NeNe was offended, because I was. If you don’t want to accept it, don’t, but don’t lie about coming back only to walk out the door (w/o even using the restroom since that was your excuse to have to make a mad dash).

Bravo needs to change the name the name of all the Real Housewives to Real Housewives and Hos of Atlanta, New Jersey, New York, Beverly Hills, etc…..Real housewives should be a wife of someone, not dating hoping to get engaged. Real housewives should be just that. Kenya please settle down, you are not appearing classy just STUPID?

Kenya is so stuck on herself. She’s 41 and not married for a reason and that is her personality. Hopefully, she can change for the better…along with her orange looking makeup. How can Kim have her own show when she is absolutely boring and delusional ? I think Bravo should look at all their shows and mix the races up. If you can show the homosexuals you can also show multi racial people functioning in this world that we live in. Each one on these shows should realize the advantage of being on tv and watching who you are and what should be changed. Too bad everyone can’t do that in real life.

Kenya is a has been. Sweetie is double stupid. Kroy is working overtime trying to turn a Ho into a Housewife. NeNe should just drop the dumb stuff and go onto Hollywood. Kandi appears happy but she should be careful always moving in with these men GET MARRIED! Cynthia get a backbone with these women. I think the cast should have white, black, hispanic, asian, etc which represents Atlanta…..why are there no black, hispancic, asian women in NJ, New York, Beverly Hills, etc?

I think Kenya is a Hot MESS!! I do not like the way she comes off. Why does she have such a problem with Cynthia??? I think she’s jealous of Cynthia. She tries to act like she’s all that but she clearly has issues with herself, that’s why she was upset that her friend asked Kandi out although nothing came of it. A confident woman wouldn’t care. A confident woman doesn’t fel th need to put women down.

I thought th party that Cynthia held for NeNe was nice. It was good to see professional women come together to network but of course Kenya had to bring her ugliness to the party. I think Kim left because she’s a fake. I think it was good she left. Sh probably would have found a way to say something negative to say.

NeNe actually looked hurt that Kim lied to her and left. Kim pretends to like african american women but she’s a fake. That’s why she has Sweetie as a maid/assistant. Every party she attends where there’s a lot of african american’s she comes late and leaves early. She talks negative when she sees african americans doing great things.

Sweetie is simply a foolish person who landed a gig on the housewives w/o enough brain cells to see how foolish she’s making herself look. She’s so far into ghettodome that she really thinks she’s “arrived.” Not so much the way NeNe thinks, it, but arrive is arrive because everything is relevant!!! Sweetie is HOOD! 1000%

Did anyone notice the deer-in-the-headlights look Kenya’s love interest gave during the last dinner scene when she mentioned she relo’d to ATL to get closer to him and deepen their relationship? His face went from thinly veiled shock, to fear, and finally, to chugging alcohol.

Kenya, that country pumkin you have as a man, is not into you. I think that Kenya suffers from extremely low self esteem, despite of the attempts to make it seem like she is “all that” her men selection seems to be subpar which tells you a lot about her personality, she couldn’t attract a high profile dude to wife her. That rat faced Kim, is so jealous of Kandi, I guess its starting to come to reality that her days of laying on her back to get rich are numbered, with Big Poppa being broke, and her reality career in jeopardy. I actually like Kandi and her man together, I truly hope it works out for her and she is not moving to quick. I can’t hate on NeNe, she took an opportunity and continues to market herself to keep her checks flowing, can’t knock her hustle.

I see that we all agree; ONLY Kenya loves Kenya. We also agree that KIM is jealous of the other ladies on RHOA. Doing wrong doesn’t pay off in the end [keeping all of the money from Kandie that she received from “Tardy for the Party”]. Kim should return to her mid-night job because ole Kroy can’t afford her…“Big Poppa” money has run out evidently [EVICTION]! DOUBLE WOMP

@Debra and @RHOA and others who thinks Kandi’s decision to move-in with her man is an unintelligent one, I AGREE. It’s not a good example for her daughter plus Kandi should get to know him better. They don’t even seem comfortable together. I also feel moving him in so quickly makes her appear desperate. To the comment that Cynthia & Kandi don’t need the show because of their past career successes, I’d have to disagree since neither of them had done any really significant work in years prior to RHOA. And I understand those BRAVO checks ain’t so bad. Think about it –those Beverly Hills and Miami housewives definitely don’t seem to need to work, but in this economy everyone’s trying to make what they can while they can. (Can’t blame them for that.

On Kim leaving the party early: While Kim & her racist a** disgusts me, NeNe’s sudden desire to try and make amends with Kim seemed somewhat hypocritical since last year she unequivocally wanted nothing to do with her. Remember last season it was Kim who ‘appeared’ to be moving up and NeNe seemed to be a bit jealous of that. And now it appears as though NeNe only wants to rekindle the friendship now that she (NeNe) is moving up. But I’m very happy for NeNe. I just hope she remembers how many times Kim’s bitten her before (a snake may change his stripes but at the end of the day he’s still a snake). In fact I believe it was NeNe who’s responsible in part for Kim being on the show. (Some of us are always so quick to help the closet racists out, then they turn around and use us–i.e. Kandi making Kim a record hit/yet Kim took off with all the profits from the sales). Served Kandi right. How many of us have Kandi helped b4 Ms. Lawrence? …and that was just for t.v.

With that being said, when did $400,000 – $1.5 mil homes become the GHETTO and HOOD? Is it because the area is predominantly African American? Really, Sweetie and Kim!!! Kim is a Hater and needs to take some pointers from Kandi who owns her homes….doesn’t lease them and pretend. And Sweetie why don’t you try to recoup some of your dignity, and stop acting like the IGNORANT Manmie (sp) sidekick for Kim.

Kenya is everything to this show. The ratings are up, this season is very entertaining, and they’re just getting started. NeNe is on her journey and is very content with herself, Kandi is moving in with her man ( They pay for that house together and he works for the Real housewives franchise in financing so he a man that can that can hold his own ), Phaedra is always working on new business adventures and just a really smart and beautiful women, Cynthia has her own Modeling agency and a backbone and just gorgeous, love her this season. Kim your a hater and I now see why NeNe goes so hard on you now. I don’t think she is racists but those back handed comments you made at Kandi house were so spiteful. And sweetie where do you live? Kenya is my guilty pleasure, I may be the only one who loves her now but I believe she will grow on the rest of you Kenya bashers. She entertaining, successful, Gorgeous, and she has a title regardless of the years it has been ( I was 1 years old when she won Lol) Kenya is my favorite this season cause I’ve always love a women with a opinion. Can’t wait till Porsha makes her debut. THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA IS THE BEST FRANCHISE SERIES. HANDS DOWN.

Can someone please set this straight?

Kandi’s man: Is he in “production” or is he in “finance”? The clip of him in Africa sure didn’t have him looking like a ‘money man’. He looked like a production site assistant!

And tip to single women everywhere: Do NOT mingle your finances with your “Boo”,baby daddy, hook-up, shack up. Save that for a MARRIAGE.

I agree with the other commenters that Kandi is setting a bad example for Riley by shacking with all of these men over the years. I sincerely hope that Riley rises above (no pun intended)this upbringing and doesn’t become a wild teenager with daddy issues. She already has a deadbeat father in Russell Spencer of Block Entertainment and the daddy issues with him have already been documented on the show.

If only Kandi had as much relationship sense as she does business sense!!! Her mother and aunt really need to sit her down and let her know that she needs to be a better role model for her child.

There is nothing lady like about that Kenya, after two episodes I’ve seen enough of that ghetto hot mess not to take another gander. Kenya may as well get accustomed to growing old by herself, no good decent intelligent man is going to wife that psycho up. I can see some man’s Mom holding that psycho off with a shotgun cause a pistol ain’t gonna work. I am sorry that that Kenya is the person she is and it ain’t pretty.

Every housewife show needs a mean girl, and Kenya has filled the role this season on ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ it is too bad because if she didn’t open her mouth she is actually a beautiful woman who could do a lot of good with her semi-successful career. I started watching the first part of this episode but I had to go into DISH to finish some work. I wasn’t sure I would make it back home in time for the reruns so I set my DISH Hopper to record this episode, and since I have so much DVR recording room I’m recording the rest of the season, this way I won’t miss any of the drama. I think Nene has definitely grown as a person, especially when compared to last season and I hope her and Greg stay together.

Kandi is successful, but the boasting needs to stop. Kim is definitely a hater, that is why she left the party early, she hates to see a room full of successful women doing their thing. I like Kendra. She needs to tone it down, but she is looking for recognition and fame and as we have seen (through Nene’s success, the nastier you are to people the more famous and rich you become on these shows). I like Cynthia and I love the way she handles her business regarding her husband, Leon and her daughter. Phedra is all about business, making her money and having the best! I don’t know what her obsession is with booties though!

Ok. Cynthia threw a party for Nene. Nene shows up 2 hours late. She looked absolutely fabulous, and I loved that dress. But REALLY??? 2 hours late? DISRESPECTFUL and CLASSLESS. Kim did right when she left. The speech that Nene gave was luke warm and self serving, not at all graceful. If she said ‘thank you’ to her friend for hosting the party, I must have missed it because I blinked. Nene does not think much of Miss Cynthia. And that’s all I’m going to say about that.
Cynthia needs to have a shot of gingko, guarana and african cayenne to get those brain cells popping. She is too slow on the come back lines, like she has to “think” before she can pop out some one liners. She is a classy lady, but when you’re rolling with such a classless swarm, you need to be able to pop dem classy one liners el rapido, lady. She would have scored MAJOR points had she shown the exit door to Kenya Mooreby DICK. (BTW, why does Kenya have such a screeching voice? Sounds like a racoon with a sharpened wire stuck in it’s guts. Grates on my nerves!).
Kandi… makes me laugh, in a good way, even though she speaks as if she has locked jaw. Are the teeth too big for the mouth? But anyway, she gets points for being frugal and paying for her house CASH. That’s how things should be done. HOWEVER, she needs to understand that everything that you do is a lesson to your kids and she has a young, impressionable daughter. By all means, date. But your man must NOT sleep in the house where your child lives. If you have plans to live together, then you must respect yourself and he must have RESPECT for you AND your child. Crystal clear intentions include a ring. Do not settle. He must lock you down with that marriage certificate BEFORE he can move in. Setting a great example for your child is the goal here, not getting your pum pum chiseled. Jeez. THE END.

Poor Poor over the Hill Kenya and Kim really needs to clean up her mouth!!! Glad this show is NOT named Ladies of Atlanta, because as far as I can tell Cynthia would be the only one to qualify

I do not like kenya, she jealous of any one who has what she wants so badly, a husband and kids.
she is also jealous of the other new lady, (her body, youth). bring marlo back, i miss her wit, she did
not hate on anyone. As for kim, glad everyone is seeing what I’ve seen about her all along, nothing
but a user.
