Its all about the drama that raised the ratings.

NeNe sure did make the show! In a good way too, not in a low rent Kim way.

Am I the only person who records the show while I'm watching it, just in case I do get interrupted? I'd rather be able to back up and see the part that I missed due to interruption than to have to sit through it all again. If I get to see it all or the way through, I immediately erase it and free up the space.

This show was truly a mess but interesting. I think I liked OC wives best. Hated NYC they were just too pretentious. Kim gets bashed a lot but I liked her. I think she was the most authentic on the show. She definitely had bad habits and she showed them. By the way here is a link to a blog that seems to have been overlooked from Kim http://www.bravotv.com/Real_Housewiv...an_not_believe
Lisa seemed a bit closed off. I liked Deshawn and Nene although I think Nene acted very "middle school" a lot of the time. I even liked some facets of Sheree however the overzealous love of herself just puts you off.
I agree that the restaurant was not the place to get into it if things like how small of you, etc are going to be said. If they are going to discuss things and keep it civil due to the close proximity of the kids that's one thing but to just go in knowing that things will escalate with my kids there...I wouldn't get pulled into it either.
The reunion show should be interesting. Did anyone find it odd on the clips that Nene says she and Kim barely knew each other but in the beginning of the show she talked about what great friends they were hmmm......

Judging by the clips of the reunion show, I really think Bravo needs to re-name the RHOA. Any suggestions? Come on, Real Housewives of Atlanta? That is a reach!
I can't say that I have a favorite of the series but I do have my favorite wives. For RHOOC I like Jeanna, RHONY I like Bethanny and for RHOA I like Nene.

I read that Sheree has a criminal record. Shoplifting and additional charges were filed against her because she was carrying "tools". The type that you use to cut the security tags from clothing.

I like all of them. You have to stand back and understand where it is they are coming from.

As far as I can tell, all but DeShawn married for money but coming out of desperate conditions, and as much as it is somewhat "ugly", it is completely understandable IMO.

I've decided none are any better or worse than the other but for different reasons.

I loved the last scene with DeShawn and her husband. I hope they don't mess it up for me, 'cause right now, I'm enjoying their story. Despite the fact that DeShawn's husband wasn't the best college player, DeShawn stood by him when should could have looked elsewhere.

Watch. It will be in the press that the husband is a philanderer. Always happens right when I start believing that TV people can be normal.

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad to hear they are good people. That's all I really care about.

OMG, you are so right! I missed the last 15-20 minutes of the show last night because I was working, and I'm watching it right now and thinking, "WTH was she thinking with that dress?!?!"

I hope Bravo brings back a second season of the ATL ladies. I am really hooked.

OK, most of us thought that Kim's dress was butt-ugly....and Sheree says, "I LOVE THAT DRESS!" She is so full of crapola. Her maliciously fake arse will say just about anything.
