Real Housewives of Atlanta: Top Reunion Moments

That was entertainment. I have to admit I'm going to miss Lisa, Sheree, Kim and NeNe. Those ladies gave me a reason to turn on the tube Tuesday nights, and they also made me feel better about my ever-decreasing bank account. If money will turn me into one of them, I'd rather be poor.

There were several great moments from the show, but here are my top five:

1. Kim's Cancer Lie. The woman who smokes a pack of cigarettes/day tearfully admits she had cancer. Then, retracts that statement five minutes later, proving Lisa right. Kim's a liar.

2. NeNe vs. Kim. Where to begin? I think it's safe to say this friendship is officially over. Kim calls NeNe a bitch, and Lisa has to sit on NeNe's lap to keep her from exacting revenge on her ex-friend. Oh, and NeNe reiterates that Kim can't sing. LOL.

3. Lisa vs. Kim. Kim claims that Lisa is the one who first told her about NeNe mocking her singing skills. Lisa denies it, and when Kim persists. Lisa threatens to flip her over the couch. I'd like to see that.

4. Dwight. Anybody strolling out with that fly curly weave has to make the top five. Oh, and his comments on Kim's hair earn him a spot, too.

5. Big Poppa. He didn't make an appearance, but he was mentioned. It turns out he's married, and while Kim thinks he'll leave his wife, NeNe has this advice, "Close your legs to married men." Nice.

So, what were your Top 5 moments of the reunion or the season!? Will there be a season two?

Real Housewives of Atlanta: Bitter Sweet

The finale of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" is about what you would expect, except there wasn't any bloodshed.

Lisa was on a mission to get all the ladies together for a final dinner. (I'm sure the show producers were on a mission, too.) So, they first come in contact during a surprise birthday party for Lisa's hubby. Sheree and NeNe take a photo together, but the forced smiles were more phony than Kim's singing career.

Later, the ladies gather for a dinner. The steak knives on the table aren't enough to break the tension, but that's what NeNe was for. After the ladies spoke about growth, and Kim talked about her experiences during the show, NeNe asked for clarification, noting that she hadn't spoken to Kim, and didn't know what Kim was referring to.

In the end, Kim admitted that she should have actually reached out to NeNe before deciding to never speak to her again and sending that less-than-ladylike text message. Will these two be able to bury the hatchet and move on?

If you've seen the reunion show previews, then you know the answer.

Real Housewives of Atlanta: More Ghetto Fabulousness

NeNe finds out that Curtis is not her father! I expected that he would be, as she'd thought all along. Now, she has to decide if she wants to search for her real father. Do I feel a season two coming on?

A few weeks back, DeShawn hosted a terrible charity event that didn't raise a dime. This time around, Sheree hosts a fashion show with no fashions. I'm not sure how I'd go about launching a career as a fashion designer, but I'll venture to say that Sheree may have skipped a few steps. If Sheree took some time off from her massages and gossiping and tuned into "Project Runway," she'd know it's not as easy as sketching and then putting on a fashion show. Go figure.

Lisa's depressed to learn her husband will be playing for a team on the West Coast. Will she become a regular on the "Housewives of Orange County?" Stay tuned.

Did you watch the show? Will NeNe attempt to try to find her father, or let sleeping dogs lie? Will Lisa stay in ATL while her hubby travels to Oakland for the football season? Will Sheree give up on the clothing line and go back to alimony has her primary source of income? Will Sheree and NeNe make amends for the season finale?

Real Housewives of ATL: Low Budget What?

So, I think it's official. NeNe and Kim are no longer BFFs. Honestly, I think Kim is upset because when she first shared her singing aspirations with NeNe, Nene joked her. Her feelings were hurt, and she started to question NeNe's friendship. That was magnified when the ladies told Kim how NeNe imitated her, mocking her voice, her looks and even her hair!

I think DeShawn is the one who told Sheree, and Sheree was more than happy to tell Kim; I think. So, Kim retaliated by snubbing NeNe at some lingerie place and then sending her a ghetto-fabulous text in which Kim called NeNe a cheap dog, but not that nicely.

Although I don't think NeNe should have been joking on Kim's skills, I do have to agree that Kim cannot sing. She apparently smokes a pack a day, and is tone deaf, but for some reason she feels she's ready to record an album. NeNe was right to tell her friend the truth, but she could have handled it more maturely, and she should have realized that was a sensitive area for her friend, not fodder for teasing.

So, where does that leave the girls? NeNe's on the outs and stuck with DeShawn. Kim and Sheree are best buds, and Lisa is still about her business.

Will Kim and NeNe reconcile? Will Kim make an album, or will luck smile on us? What do you think?

Housewives of ATL: Destined for Greatness?

Is it me, or is DeShawn a little off? She claims to be "destined for greatness," but I don't see it. The last time I checked, having an in-house staff (with salon included) does not indicate greatness. Plus, if that fundraiser was any indication, she's got a long way before hitting mediocrity. She didn't even break even and spent twice as much throwing the party than she did in profit. Sad. Her husband didn't seem to surprised at his wife' failed attempt. Interesting.

In other news, it looks like Kim and NeNe are one episode away from estranged. Kim has decided she likes Sheree and wants to be her friend. She's trying to get the three of them to hang out. However, NeNe isn't having it. So, where does that leave NeNe? Alone. That's my guess. At a time when she's struggling with her identity and sending a son off to college, I think friends would be good thing to keep around. We'll see what happens. My guess is that NeNe will eventually mend things with Sheree, so she can stay in the circle.

What do you think? Was Kim wrong for trying to get Sheree and NeNe together? Would it have been "fake" for NeNe to hang out with Sheree, or just mature? What is wrong with DeShawn? Why is Lisa so cool? She's still my favorite.

Real Housewives of Atlanta: Baby Daddy Drama

I really don't even know what to say about NeNe's latest drama. Actually, "drama" makes it seem like a petty thing -- like the NeNe vs. Sheree drama, but that seems like small potatoes in comparison to what NeNe's dealing with now.

She has reason to question who her father is after getting a letter from a relative. She thought Curtis was her father. That's what her mother (now deceased) had always told her. However, when she asked Curtis his opinion. He confesses that he's always had his doubts. So, NeNe is on the hunt to find out who her father is. Interesting.

It does make you wonder about the timing. Did someone set this in motion in time to be filmed and aired on TV, or is this just pure coincidence. Mmmmm.

In other news, Deshawn thinks it's a realistic goal to raise $1 million in charity in one evening. I did the math. That means 500 people would have to give $2K a piece, or 2,000 people would have to give $500. Either way, I don't see that happening. We shall see; I guess.

Funny line worth mentioning: "Maybe you can hum and get a Grammy," said NeNe after first learning of Kim's aspirations to be a country singer.

Speaking of Kim, it looks like Kim's going to befriend Sheree next week. Where does that leave NeNe? Will NeNe be too wrapped up in her daddy searching to care? Will Deshawn raise all that money? Will Lisa remain the only truly sane one? What do you think?

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Where's the Beef?

So, it seems NeNe and Sheree have gotten over the mishap at Sheree's party. The next day the two are civil and kind to one another at the party for Kim's daughter, who's 11th birthday celebration was greater than anything I've ever had in my 30-plus years, but I digress.

I'm glad the two women were able to get along, but I'm seriously doubting their beef is over. I'm sure we haven't heard the last about Sheree's party, and although NeNe is trying to be mature about things, I think it would take only one word or wrong look from Sheree to bring things to a head ... can't wait. LOL.

I could comment more on Kim's daughter's birthday, but Kim realizes her daughter is spoiled. We all witnessed the extravagance. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. I'll leave it at that.

What do you think? Are Sheree and NeNe mature enough to never bring up the birthday party drama again? Do you have a favorite housewife yet? Weren't Lisa and her hubby cute!? How can a thousand-dollar cake NOT be good?

Housewives of ATL: Ghetto Fabulousness

Loved it. Loved it. That was the most entertaining and authentic demonstration of ghetto fabulousness I've seen since "Being Bobby Brown."

The series premiere of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" was better than I expected. I will be tuning in next week to find out if Sheree and NeNe are going to come to blows. LOL. It seems the two had some beef from before the show aired, but Sheree invited NeNe to her birthday party -- a social event -- to bury the hatchet, sort of speak.

Instead, the hatchet got buried in NeNe's back. She was obviously excited about the party and reconciling with Sheree, but after getting prepped and primped, NeNe found herself dissed! Her name was not on the guest list, and she was not allowed into the party.

How awful!

To make things worse, Sheree didn't even come out to speak to her humiliated friend. NeNe left in a hurry, and it's obvious this feud is not over.

The most sensible, and therefore my favorite, housewife seems to be Lisa. She's happily married and seems very comfortable with herself. We'll see, though. At this point, it's too early to pledge allegiance to any character.

So, did you watch the premiere? What did you think? Will you be tuning in? Did Sheree purposely leave NeNe off the list, or was it an oversight? Will the ladies be able to patch things up? Am I the only woman not getting her makeup airbrushed on each morning?

The Real Housewives of ATL Coming Soon

I haven't watched any of the previous "Housewives" seasons on Bravo, but I plan to tune into the premiere of the Atlanta season tomorrow. I've seen the preview episode in which the ladies were introduced. It seems like there will be a lot of drama and a lot to blog about.

Stay tuned.
