Andy Cohen summed up the three-part reunion of The Real Housewives of Atlanta by saying it was "fun" and "long." He at least got the latter part right. This last installment tonight really dragged things out. I think they could have stopped at two, but knowing when to stop isn't a trait of Housewives, now is it?
Marlo Hampton was still there, clinging to her spot on the couch. She seemed to have it out for Kandi Burruss in particular. She continued to badger her for being a sugar mama, and questioned if the guy she's currently dating even has a job. Kandi assured her that he does, and that he drives a Range Rover too. Then she really unleashed.
"You want to sit up here like you’re all prissy and proper," Kandi told Marlo. "You’re an escort. Whatever, ho. Whatever, ho." Kandi's usually so calm, but watch out when you piss her off. She got so worked up, she nearly popped right out of that dangerous dress she was wearing.
More from The Stir: NeNe Leaks Isn't as Tough as She Seems
Cynthia Bailey tried to make herself relevant and get in on the action, but she just ended up looking silly. At least she's pretty. Sheree Whitfield got a farewell montage of sorts that highlighted all of her ridiculous outbursts that still didn't make her interesting at all. While she said she wasn't proud of some of her behavior, she also doesn't remember it all because of her blackout moments. Whatever, and good riddance. The usually entertaining Phaedra Parks only got in a few random words here and there.
The biggest surprise of the night, however, was that for all of their past drama, I think Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes actually miss each other. Awhile back, I'd have never believed it, but I think they actually could be friends again at some point. They've both come a long way and are in good places, and as Andy pointed out, they're a lot alike.
Sheree refused to admit that NeNe had helped her get on the show, and with all of the delusion in the world said she's the one who made the show jump off. Uh, yeah, right. Kim, however, made a classy move and not only admitted that NeNe helped her land the show, but said that without her, she wouldn't have her husband, Kroy, and new baby boy today. That's a lot nicer than saying she thinks NeNe has a penis.
Kim also said she thought the biggest problem between her and NeNe was communication. That can be fixed! There was certainly no big kiss and make up moment, but I think there's potential there. What with Sheree the trouble maker out of the way, it could just happen. And how interesting would that make things?
Do you think Kim and NeNe will reconcile at some point? Did you get the sense tonight that they miss one another?

I haven't watched the third installment of the reunion (my husband has taken over the remote), but there I do hope for a chance for reconciliation. In the past, when the ladies were on good terms, NeNe and Kim had tons of fun together. It was nice to watch, just like when NeNe and Dwight were on more friendlier terms. Yet their may be too much time and distance for them to get back together; they are in different places now. NeNe is in the middle of a divorce and dating short men with tall pockets, while Kim is now married with baby number four on the way. This may be another Bethanny and Jill scenario. On a more personal level, I could not restore a friendship with someone who threatened to choke me out on a bus in front of everyone.
With that being said Cynthia annoys the shit out of me. I get what she was saying and I get what Kim was saying. But the difference is that Marlo is just a whore. Doesnt have a relatiionships, unless they are just sexual. Thats why Kandi call her an escort.
I am beginning to love Phaedra more and more. She is so calm and collective.
Shut it down, shut it all down!
ya,sherry(I believe thats her birth spelling)is leaving,YES!!!Now Now, Cynthia just wants to be heard.Now Marlo,well she is jealous,yup,i do believe that is her hemmroaid.Just that all the woman have real jobs,well except Sherry.(her clothes line seems 2 b on the back burner)and Marlo sleeps with any man any age to get the jewels & money she needs to keep her hot body alive.So she says(hot).ya she is trying to grab the spot light for as long as bravo will allow it.Kandi is a good person & for her to ripp into her about her new man is just wrong.Marlo...JEALOUS!!!!
I am opposite , Get rid of Kim she annoy me so much , I like the Talls they keep it real,, Phadera is very calm I like that. But Sherri I feel sorry that she is losing her job.
i think if everyone else just minded there own biusness kim and nene would be fine , there both so much alike . and when there friends there good friends and they have alot of fun , cynthia is a wishy washy woman and she does act totally diferent when shes with nene she feels like she has a back bone .these woman should either just get along or find new friends it gets old when they fight about the same things over n over ! i love kim and im so happy for her and her new family i wish her the very best . same to the rest of these woman .
