Ok and ? RHOA fans are used to that they were the moment for more than one or two seasons. 1-9 Seasons are all top tier amazing seasons compared to every other franchise like there is no comparison. RHOBH is just big with white people that’s why it seems bigger than it is but RHOA is not far behind them even in their irrelevant era.

You just wanted to bash white peope. Got it. Thanks for the contribution!

Yet the fans want to drag the show it clearly went on just fine we don’t really need Nene or Porsha or Phaedra

Nah I don’t agree with that cause RHOA these days is not worth keeping up with the women are lacking something special that the 3 you listed there all seemed to have when on camera whether in a scene or a confessional. Even just one of them being back is desperately needed in my opinion.

Saving the season.

Kenya's shade towards Marlo being the top trending comment during airing.

 

This ensemble cast is putting in work.

 

Not a season high during a reunion without accusing someone of the R word or dragging someone by their hair off stage.

 

Sheree and Marlo ain't going nowhere. Neither or Drew and Sanya. Sorry fa ya.

 

 

[G.U.Y. Gaga]

ATL was a fine season tbh 

 

They really just need another story (cause Kenya/Kandi basically took this season off lol ) 

 

[BlackJesus]

this BH season seems way too long. I have to go back and watch from the beginning just to remember what happened

[G.U.Y. Gaga]

Also not Candace liking this

 

 

 

[Graves]

Nah, RHOA needs to nurture the cast it does have rather than keep running back to old faithfuls like Nene and Porsha.

 

Who really wants to watch Kenya vs Porsha go at it again, ten years later? Who is still checking for Nene on Housewives even though she's been acting above it and not playing ball for years now?

 

The issues with later seasons of RHOA are mostly born from the show resting on its' laurels after the peak years. The lack of any real new blood after season five, the revolving door of one season wonders, Nene going from the ultimate housewife to a huge diva monster who didn't know how to have fun. It was in decline for a while, but the post-9/10 seasons have been downright stagnant. The newest one is a little boring but there's real potential there. They just need to move forward and not fall backwards.

 

Giving Drew a second season was one of the most baffling yet shockingly correct choices they made in the recent years. I'd like to see how Sanya adjusts to a second go around too. If anything, they need to hire some brand new women if they want a bigger cast. Keep it pushing.

[Graves]

Oh & somebody tell Sheree we don't need her to fake storylines for us. We love her for her one-liners and arguments and confessionals and stuttering, not the falsehoods! 

[BlackJesus]

I just discovered the exterior of the house that is shown as Lisa Barlow's house is not actually hers

And Kenya EARNED a season off. Kandi on the other hand has been coasting every since season 9.

 

I enjoyed the ensemble cast putting in their work.

True RHOA needs to be nurtured but like Sheree, Kandi etc. Nene and Porsha went MULTIPLE seasons without a solid storyline or rehashing.

 

Yes, season 10 was the last great season.

season 1: decent

season 2: great

season 3: excellent

season 4: good (it started to flail a bit)

season 5: Game changing good

season 6: GREAT...it's peak. Should be studied by future reality tv wannabes. There were SO many storylines going on that it felt everyone had 3-4 episodes to shine.

season 7: decent (it got like season 4 smalls vs talls except worse)

season 8: good (better)

season 9: great (iconic reunion)

season 10: great. Masterful in how Kenya flipped the girls against each other and roachgate was born.

season 11: decent. tired, through and delayed. Poor Nene

season 12: good. ebbed and flowed but it had more highs than lows

season 13: disgraceful. Decent at best but it was so wonky

season 14: decent. I can appreciate a true ensemble cast putting in work even if the work was uninspired

season 15: lettuce pray

[rooby.booby]

I think this season of Atlanta was pretty ok. Nothing wow, not bad. It was ok.

This is why you leave it to the girls & gays to know what's truly up with Housewives. But cute that the straights offer their input

This is the most correct post I’ve seen on here in a long time  

 

Every time Atlanta hits its stride or starts to settle into a good dynamic, they **** it up by making a terrible casting decision.

 

Its best seasons are 1-4, and by losing Kim and Sheree it just gave Nene (who was already an egomaniac) the most power on the cast.

5 is good but 6 and 7 are two of its worst seasons contrary to popular belief, as it’s just Nene stomping around and screaming at everyone that doesn’t live inside of her *******, and there’s far too much man drama and weird irrelevant Friends like Mynique and Natalie.

It got better with 8 and 9 once there wasn’t the dark cloud hanging over everyone, then started to fall off in 10 as soon as she came back. At the same time, the editors started favouring Porsha and she became another Nene, ******* up 11-13.

 

14 finally got it back on track as it felt like everyone was equal, they showed everyone as both hero and villain, the edit was balanced, the girls were having fun but also fighting, and it was easy to watch. Now they’re just gonna ruin the whole dynamic by bringing back someone that most of the cast doesn’t like, and for what?

Lisa Rinna is really going in . I do believe her though . Also it seems that the n-wurd discussion was either fake or deleted by Bravo

There HAS to be some sort of footage or an audio recording otherwise what's the point of hyping this up.... Didn't the RHOC cast secretly record Kelly during her Ireland meltdown?

 

But anyway, i'm still looking forward to see how they'll be able to milk this drama with no footage in sight. Looks like Rinna is already in her element lol

Lol right. Aren’t these vans equipped with cameras. I’m shook there’s no way Rinna’s making all of that up. Guess Kathy unraveled and the tequila rage was just the beginning. 

[G.U.Y. Gaga]

This whole thing being off camera

[slik]

Lisa Rinna is the most unreliable of narrators

 

Seems fishy to me

[G.U.Y. Gaga]

Did Kathy pay off Twitter though. The episode isn’t even trending

[stjosephprey4us]

Not me coming back to 2 new pages and assuming something was actually going on but it’s just a bunch of talk about Atlanta vs BH  ok let me unpack here:

 

13 hours ago, Chemist said:

 

The fact that these 2 str8 men are discussing this

RHOBH is so culturally relevant. Probably as relevant as RHOA during its peak

 

Literally. 2 grown straight men talking about housewives? Is this payola or has society just jumped the shark at this point

1) ew at the person who tweeted this finding him attractive here. He sounds like such a troll. And 2) it’s giving lowkey racism that he lists Dubai and Atlanta as two of the ones he “can’t get into” hmm I wonder why he feels that way  and not him describing ATL as ancillary when it came before BH…

not just over a million being the season high. this really flopped. Also why is Drew giving Keke Palmer in that screencap

I actually kind of agree with this sentiment (but not who the second chances were given to). Here’s the tea, I think keeping even TWO out of Shamari, Eva, Tanya, LaToya, or Fallyn would have saved the show tbh. 1-3 are obviously classic seasons, 4 I never watched for whatever reason (fun fact, I never watched season 4 of NY either. Idk why but those just feel like dud seasons to me). 5-6 were a repeak, 7 and 8 were still good and 9 was iconic obviously but for the wrong reasons (in the same way Potomac season 5 is). Maybe it’s bc I started w 10 but I feel like 10 was a repeak, w Kim, Sheree, and Nene all back. So much was going on that year. 11 was kind of boring but nothing compared to 13-14. 12 was actually good imo, and the last good season. If the reunion hadn’t been virtual due to Covid that year, I think the whole dynamic would have been diff (and maybe even Nene wouldn’t have quit). However I stopped watching 13 part of the way thru. It was their Covid season, so you can’t really fault them for that. However Drew’s presence and her corniness really just made everything much worse. Cynthia and Porsha leaving the show have done it no favors. I watched Porsha’s show all the way through and I actually liked it (even though I detest Porsha). I literally have no desire to go back and watch the last season and a half now, especially after reading y’all’s posts all season, so I really dk how to save the show by this point…

Doing a separate post on BH bc the first one was getting too long:

Okay first of all this whole thing seems really fake and scripted. We all know how good Rinna is at creating a storyline out of literally thin air (Munchausen-gate) and I can see her choosing Kathy as an easy target and running w it. That being said, w Paris’s racist and homophobic past I can kind of see the apple not falling far from the tree so maybe there’s some truth to it and the girls are just exaggerating (as usual)? The n word story may have been the result of hearsay bc it seems (from the reunion info leaks) that it was actually the f slur that Kathy said (unless it could actually be both). I could def see Bravo editing it out for the sake of protecting the cast from seeming racist, but then again when the whole Jenni SLC thing came out (as well as the Stassi/Kristen Vanderpump Rules situation) they abandoned those cast members pretty quickly (unless it was just bc there was hard proof in those situations and they’ve scrubbed all evidence in Kathy’s case? Still, it seems like a risky move)

Yeah, this whole thing is smelling like stunt to me (similar to the Puppy gate situation and the Denise situation the last few seasons). The only season that hasn’t felt like a stunt so far is last season obviously w Erika’s very real legal trouble, but I’m sure if that hadn’t all come out when it did we would’ve gotten another farcical scripted soap opera that season. I just don’t see this in any way not being manufactured by producers and Kyle, Rinna, and Erika just running w it. Kyle obviously has beef against Kathy and no problem turning against her own blood. The only ppl I wouldn’t see going along w it are Garcelle and Crystal (which unsurprisingly seem to be the only women who weren’t there when this whole story happened)

This CAST. The way it just seems like we're watching 6 friends chatting with each other. Easy, smooth, hilarious.

S11 isn't in my RHONY top 5 and STILL still is better than most housewives moments
