Thursday night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta dangled a multitude of burning questions, but left us with few answers. Why did Kim fail to show up at Kandi’s club gig? Is she really the “dirty low-down monkey with a wig on” freshly minted nemesis NeNe makes her out to be? And was Kandi too forgiving of this slight, considering her new BFF (yes, the one every single other Housewife warned her about) may have already moved on, having extracted publicity juggernaut “Tardy for the Party” from her, only to disappear in a cloud of cigarette smoke?
The fact that Kim lured Kandi’s sweet mama into friendship makes this potential betrayal all the more alarming. Of course it’s hard to tell what’s really going on here, considering the Atlanta Housewives switch alliances faster than they do spiked heels: Witness
Kim’s warm hug for venomous wig-puller Sheree at her and Kandi’s joint birthday party.
Speaking of bygones, is the still-marred Big Papa’s marriage proposal for real? Or should we question its authenticity like we did Kim’s melons in her birthday dress? And while we’re on the topic of fashion, can Dwight save Sheree’s show from being the dreadful display we’ve come to expect from certain housewives (cough: Lisa)? Or will he nix Miss Independent’s Evite and ponytails, saving She by Sheree from disaster?
Furthermore, if it does bomb as some critics predict, will docile New York seamstress Casey feel the wrath of Sheree? ‘Uh oh’ indeed! More importantly, will Kandi have a second shot at stardom, or are her singles “Fly Above” and “Trade You In” no match for the ear worm potential of “Tardy for the Party?” And after NeNe’s blow-up over being booted off the single, is Kandi replacing her as viewers’ favorite housewife?
With only four episodes to go until the season finale, the biggest question of all is, when everything is said and done, will any of the Housewives be able to sit in the same room with each other? Buckle up for the reunion special, Andy Cohen. – Suzanne Zuckerman
Tell us: Should Kandi forgive Kim for missing her gig? Do you still have love for NeNe?
