One of the reasons we love watching Bravo shows is for the luxury. I mean, come on, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Well, hello and welcome to Watch What Happens. This is part two of a two-part recap. If you're like, hey, wait a minute, I didn't hear part one. Guys, it's because we put out a lot of recaps. Go back and listen to part one, okay? It's before this one. Bye. Enjoy the show. Okay, so now we get to my personal favorite scene, dunking on Angela's properties. I love these because they're always hilarious to me that Angela's like, I have seven investment. Seven!

No, start with one. Start with one. Who can do seven? That's crazy. So they go check out this house and Charles is with her. So she's like, do you like it, Charles? He's like, I would like if it was sold. Because he's partially invested too, his money. Yes. So this house. They have bad properties though.

What's that? They're not bad properties. They're not bad properties. Yeah, she's not doing a terrible job. Yeah. It's just... And I like that she's sharing it, too, because I feel like a lot of housewives would be like, oh, I'm selling this for $5 million, and then you'd never see it again. But Angela's like, this hurts. And that's the thing. I think that's what people are liking about Angela. There's a level of authenticity that we're getting from her that we're not getting from anyone else on this show. And I think this is why Andy has compared her to Sheree, because...

although charie has lied and continues there there's this level of like

awkwardness and and like whoa whoa whoa to her that is just that is it's funny to watch but angel's not afraid to show it yes uh so they look it over i mean the house looks nice for the most part it's a mess like it hasn't been cleaned up it hasn't been finished right and she's using like those paper blinds and they're all cr it looks like an animal went wild in there on the blinds i don't know what's going on with the blinds but

But she bought this for $338,000. She listed it for $499,000, and now it's back down to $338,000, which is really sad. Yeah. I mean, look, anyone that's been in this business of buying and selling and renovating homes completely gets it. I don't think it's a big deal. I think she'll be fine maybe not taking on that many properties at the same time. Yeah, it's just too many. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. But yeah, I agree. I like her. I'm rooting for her. So then we go to a party set up. OK, so Britt, we've skipped the scene with Britt and her husband, which was really funny because I think Britt had a conversation with her husband, too, because he was trying to be so nice today. Usually her husband is just like he has this look on his face like, God, shut up. But they did this scene in their bathrobes and she's like, well, it's been a hard week.

He's like, I can't wait for you to do it, babe. It's going to be amazing. And I'm going to have a polar classic party at the country club with hats. And he's like, great. I completely forgot that. That was insane. Yeah. And he's pouring champagne in their bathroom and the robes. And he's like, you're great. I can't even tell that you had Botox, babe. Like, who are you? Bring the moody one back.

I think he's trying to be better. You start to see what you saw in the early parts of the season and you see how they change throughout the season. This is them becoming a little bit more self-aware of the cameras and production telling them, like, he's coming up a little, you know, like he doesn't want to be here kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah. They're like, he looks like something smells in the room all the time. Always. He really does. It's so funny to me.

So now we go to her country club polo party. She's like, you know, I knew somebody there.

This is going to be a classy party. This is going to be classy and demure. And so they all, of course, show up to the country club in micro skirts and stilettos. Yes. Yes, Atlanta. And let's go golfing. In stilettos. I cannot believe they didn't have a bunch of country guys out there like, get those stilettos off my green. I'm surprised about that, too. That was the first thing I thought. Yeah.

Yeah, I thought, oh, they're going to have some grumpy old men up their asses in two seconds. But they didn't. They all dress crazy and go to this little party. And let's see what happens here. I guess the biggest things that happened here is one, Shamia tried to pull a cheap ass housewives trick.

and only feed her own table. So her plan was she was going to sit all the ladies at one table where they would have dinner and then all the extras from Twitter or whatever, the Twitter people, as Nini would call them, would stand around just having, you know, the cheapest champagne that Trader Joe's sells and no one would notice they're not eating. But they accidentally set all the tables. And so now everybody thinks they're going to eat, but there's no food. Yeah.

It was a lame event. It was definitely giving lame, but you know, production loves to do that too. Like, "Oh, let's show it." Like, this is her first event. She doesn't know how to throw the event. She doesn't know how this works. She doesn't realize that she's gonna look terrible on camera. Yeah.

Show it. Of course. You got to show it. Well, the best part was showing all the people who weren't getting chicken. They were so pissed. Oh, my God. They kept showing the ladies kind of digging in and no one wanted to eat. Portia's like, I'm going to put this in my purse. I know. And everybody's sitting around them on their phones looking so pissed. And she's like, all right, I've got an announcement that we're naked. And she started going on. I wanted to feel like you're naked.

or whatever and people are just looking at her like fuck off and then she announces that she's bought she's brought product for everybody that's eating which leaves out the poor people just for the special ladies awkward

So the shade came here when she gives everybody their gift. And of course it's dissed by people. You know, Shamia's like, oh my God, I've opened the box and there was nothing in it. It was bare naked. There wasn't even tissue paper in there. The box was lonely. Yeah, that was... Again, Britt doesn't know. It feels like Britt had a desperate attempt to, like, I need to shop or share some sort of business if I'm going to be on this show. And I think that's what she did with this business. Like, oh, I'm going to...

promote this because she doesn't have the insurance company i don't i don't think her insurance school that she would that she's launched was set up by then i don't know if it's like really so i think she just felt like she needed to promote something and that's why and again she just doesn't know how to present she doesn't know how to host and then

no no one has food you're giving out the wrong sizes you gave an extra large to angela to be an extra large to angela oh no you know do you remember what angela looked like in at the the go the uh pampered by porsche event angelo looks good body yes angela looks good so she tried it yeah but uh yeah that didn't really work but i thought it was really funny that she couldn't feed everybody

So they shaded her. Also, can I just say, I kind of miss the housewives days where you didn't have to have a business promoting something. That's fine. What happened to like Vicky's? I go to the car wash all the time. That was Vicky's storyline in season one. She's like in Orange County, we go to the car wash every day. And that's the thing. This is what housewives has turned into. I wish production would lean away from that because it's,

It's okay if you have interesting personalities. We don't need them to be launching a business. Literally, this season, we see Drew and Shamia launching music. And I'm like, okay, pick one. Because I've seen them do that with other reality shows. If someone has a similar storyline, they're like, okay, we're not going to show that or highlight that. It just feels like overkill. It feels desperate. It feels like a bunch of fans that are now on reality television. Like, oh, I want to launch a business. I want to be the next Bethany Frankel. Well, you're not going to be.

I'm okay with you just being bored housewives or whatever, just bored people with money starting fights because you're bored. Yeah. That's what I liked about it. You know, we don't need to all go out there and go get them. No. Just stay home and take them. Be rich. Spend your money. Sit down. So Angela sees her extra large and she's like, maybe she got these confused with the size of her toothbrush for a big ass mouth. Yeah.

So then we get to find out, Portia asks Britt what her inspiration is for this line. And Britt's like, "Um, it's when I got a BBL." I was like, "Oh no." Shapewear inspired by your first BBL. I mean, I don't know if you remember at the Nashville, everyone was pointing out like, "Oh, she's got a BBL," when she was in the bathing suit. I was like, "Yeah." At least she's open about it. She's got a BBBL. It's a very big BBL.

Kenya still won't admit to hers, and Kenya's looks crazy. Kenya says it's all accommodating to her stallion booty work. Yes, it's all crunches. Not crunches, squats. Squats.

What do you squat? You could lift a Mack truck. Get out of here. I thought squats. So she was very inspired by her BBL because when she started her insurance company, she really wanted to do it, but it wasn't the right time. But then her and her girlfriends went and had an out of town party. And it was a plastic surgery party where they just all went and got surgeries together. Yeah. What kind of friends are those and where can I find them? No.

I don't want those types of friends. That says to me, "We're getting bootleg surgery." I'm not trying to get bootleg surgery. Give me a transgender surgeon, please, and thank you. I think we've discovered him. I think I discovered him actually today. I'm not giving out his name. Yes. -Really? -I'm a gatekeeper. No, I need his name. I need to get my lids done. I heard he's very particular. Apparently, he also did Brad Pitt.

demi more and who else had some good surgery recently oh jimmy moore looks good yeah but i mean that's kind of unfair those are the most beautiful people in the world it's not like before though he was he was the age was starting to age the milk was oh really yeah come on oh i didn't even know i don't think i've seen some videos but he looks fantastic i said i read about his fathering skills oh

all the time yeah that's rough who knew you knew a really hot guy with nothing going for him except his hotness and money would turn out to be an i mean jennifer anderson could have told you

Yeah, Jennifer. Yeah, but that whole thing was weird, too. I'm sorry. There's so many tangents in this podcast. But I remember back in the day. By the way, why are they still on magazine covers? Like, do people really still care what Jennifer Aniston is doing every day? She's still on the grocery store tabloids every day. So anyway, back then, I remember Jennifer saying in an interview, you know, I don't.

Whatever this is with Brad is to me, I only want him to be with me if he wants to be with me. And if he doesn't want to be with me, then I'm glad he's with somebody else. And then he went with Angelina Jolie. I was always like, you shouldn't say that. You're supposed to say, if you ever leave me, I'm cutting your dick off and I'm slashing you down the middle of your moneymaker, your face. That's it.

But look what happened. He ended up with Angelina and they have these beautiful children that he doesn't speak to anymore. Yeah. Now, instead of just having Jennifer Aniston who resents you, you've got Angelina and six children that hate you. And how many years? They finalized their divorce recently, right?

Oh, gosh, I don't know. He probably got the facial surgery before the divorce even happened. I would hope so. He was probably on to his next face before the first divorce was even there. I don't know, but I want lids done. Okay, text me that name. Oh, okay. Like, I could afford Kris Jenner's. I'll be like, can I trade you for a used Vespa? And I heard the guy is very particular on who he actually does. I'm like, oh.

Well, start saving your coins from now. I want whoever did Chloe because I think Chloe looks like a totally different human being and she gets criticized for that a lot. They're like, she got a head transplant. And I'm like, what's the number? It's probably the same guy. No, probably. I mean, okay. So they start talking about what surgery they would want. And Shamia wants to get her back fat sucked out. And, um,

I saw my friend get her back fat sucked out like 20 years ago, and I said, "I could never do it. Women are special." I don't know how they go through these surgeries, and then after, like, the recovery, it's like, hell, I get, like, a hangnail, and I'm like, "Ow."

I can't. I don't know what it is. We're pussies because we're men. That's how it is. It's like when a woman gives birth to like five children and she's back to work and then a man gets a cold and we're like, oh, I can't do it. I need my mommy. Yeah, I'm the same way. But did her skin really hurt for like years after her back fat surgery or did it?

Well, I don't recall that part. I just remember I can literally still see her coming out of the surgery just for when she was out of it. And then she had to wear this like garment for like how many days? I was like, I don't know how you do it. And the thing is with that, you could gain the weight back and it might show up as a hump on the back of you. I got a cousin where that happened too. Oh, I should have said that. It's true. Yeah.

It's like when you get the, you know, the Botox wherever to stop your sweating and then you start sweating in other places. So you'll be sweating out your wiener hole or whatever. Really? Yeah. You'll sweat other places like random places. I've got sweaty elbows now, you know.

start coming out. It's got to come out somewhere. That's why I say God says don't mess with anything in your body. Because I was thinking about it. I was like, you know what? I always sweat, especially when I'm in the studio. I don't want those sweat marks. Now you said that, I don't be sweating somewhere else. Yeah, you'll be sweating somewhere else. So don't do it. But fat, I don't know. I want them to find clips that they can just put me on my stomach, put clips on my back and lift me like in one of those torture videos and then just sew me up.

Just sew it all the way from the bottom to the top. I don't think I can make it through the recovery of that. Well, put me in an induced coma. You know how they have those? The entire recovery? I'll just be like, see you guys in a couple of years. I'll be dead for a while.

and just come back looking sweet with like a big seam up the back of my body. I like cry when I literally just went to my esthetician. I still got a little some red marks on my face from my esthetician. Even that alone, I'm like, this is a lot. I don't know if I can do this. You know who doesn't cry? People in comas. So I'm just saying, mini coma, induce it. Do we know that though?

The people who cry in comas? That you're not suffering even though you're in a coma? Well, they could be suffering, but no one has to hear about it. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

All right. So we talk about all of this bare naked stuff. What they're really missing here is a storyline of Portia getting pissed off that she stole her name, like in Tipsy Girl versus Skinny Girl on New York. We really need that. And Portia did give her a little shade when asked about it. But I need more from that. Yeah, Portia was like, you know, go naked's been around for 10 plus years. And I mean, based on what I've seen of the go naked hair, it actually looks good.

I don't know if the girls are really buying go-naked hair like that. I'm going to have to ask. I'll get back. I'll report back. I don't know. It's hard for me to judge because I've seen Dr. Heavenly's wigs, so that's pretty high quality. Oh, really? Everything else pales in comparison. Yeah. Everything else in comparison to those Heavenly wigs. Dr. Heavenly. It's time for a commercial.

It's time for a Crappin's commercial.

You know when a new shirt just becomes your go-to? That's what happened when I picked up a few new pieces from Quince. They're the first things I reach for in my closet.

Okay, so now we get some husband action. So Angela really awkwardly goes, okay, everybody, well, Charles doesn't have a side, baby. And they're like, what? Charles is like, oh, Jesus. Yeah, Charles is like, oh, Jesus Christ. He's like, I finally got Charles here and now I'm going to put him on the spot. And Britt's like, okay, well, and also, I'm not one of Charles's whores. I was so confused by that.

I was like, she never said you were one of his whores. She called you a whore. Yeah, I didn't think she ever said you could be one of his. Why does she even have to flatter herself in the diss? She didn't say that, ma'am. Thank you for saying that, because I didn't think so either, but I was too lazy to let go back and look at the episode. Yeah.

No, I-- literally, what they re-- they flashback in this episode, what she said. She called her, "You are a whore." And again, we're watching an edited show, so who knows what was said in that moment. A lot more could have been said, but... Yeah. Based on what we saw, she called you a whore. Yeah, thank you.

So he's like, what are you talking about? I don't have a whore. And she goes, oh, well, she said that I could be one of your whores. And he's like, uh, no. And she goes, well, I'm trying to be funny. He's like, that's not funny. I felt like Charles was just like, that's not funny. And the salad sucks. Have you seen one person even eat the salad? I'm surprised they didn't just start throwing the salad to the poor people. I don't know.

The poor people attending, Lord have mercy. And they're all just reacting to like, what is going on right now? Yeah. So then the fight moves on. So they've decided they're going to make up. So now people are like, should we make up with Drew too while we're at the country club? So Shamia starts, someone starts, Shamia and Drew start going on about Shamia being called the lapdog.

And that whole thing, which is, I'm tired of this fight. What is this, episode 10? Episode 12. Oh, my gosh. We're way past halfway through the season. So Portia, no. So Drew said, well, Portia shouldn't be mad about the music because I'll make so much money with this music, it could pay for Portia's college. I didn't even think it was that bad. Did you? When she initially said it, I was like, I don't think you should say something like that. But the way she said it was kind of funny.

Yeah, I thought she just meant she'll benefit from the money if she's getting money from Dennis. I don't take it as that big of a deal. And she said in the after show, Dennis had said something similar to that, and that's why she said that. So I don't think it was enough for Shamia to go bring it back to Portia like she said it in such a negative way. Yeah. Especially when the whole internet's kind of saying what Drew says. Yeah.

No offense. You know, the whole Internet has been saying that for a long time. But I can understand that that's probably what makes her a little more sensitive to it, too. You know, I think she also was dragging out any sort of beef that she could have with Drew. Again, that's going on with Portia. They just need to move it along. Also, I need Drew to find out that they went out with Ralph. Yeah.

Why hasn't that become a thing? Is that going to become a thing on the trip? I'm thinking maybe during the reunion. No, I need it now. You guys finally had something good happen. Do it now. Or maybe during the trip. Maybe during the trip they're going to bring it up. Yes. That they had dinner with Ralph, which was clearly... Again, to me, you don't want to be called a lapdog, but that was clearly lapdog behavior. Yes. Ralph is going to you...

for podcast advice because you guys had a podcast together, which I think had like two episodes. I was going to say, was that an actual podcast or were they just guesting on somebody else's podcast? They were on a YouTube channel. I mean, come on. It's like, I can go to lunch with him. We were in business together. We've done a podcast. And then Portia magically shows up. I didn't know he was going to be here. Y'all think we're dumb? It's crazy. Yeah.

So then speaking of do you think you're dumb, Drew's label. So Drew's going on and on about this label that she signed with. Isn't this just like a thing that you sign up for on the Internet? Well, I think the hot dog king has a hot dog label, music label. And that's why they were having this meeting for her to sign contracts with the lawyer.

if i'm not mistaken so in this day and age you don't really need a label to put out music especially especially i mean i have to say the project is good i'm never going to take away from the project it is good yeah it's a good project but again i don't think she needed a label to to put out this music especially she's in atlanta it's 2025 you really don't need a label it's just so drew to be like i'm having a party for my label signing and then we looked up the label because we were curious

And, you know, I love the Google. Yes, you've seen. So we looked it up and it was like, sign up now to be part of this label. And it was one of those like that distributes your music, you know, this kind of a.

that does it for a monthly fee or whatever yeah so and but i don't know maybe she could have a contract within that company i mean i don't know and having catapulted her music like it's like i said it's a good album it's a good project but it you signing with dennis hasn't catapulted you to be on on the big tigger show where your song is being played you're not on the charts sorry

Well, she was, right? She was on number five on Apple. Well, the iTunes. I'm talking about Billboard. Oh, yeah. I'm a podcaster. I just look at Apple. Which is good. No, don't get me wrong. It's good. And like I said, the project is good and I'm rooting for Drew, but I'm also realistic. Like, girl, there's a lot of work that you could be doing if you're going to sign to it. I have a music background for those that don't know. So if you're going to sign to a record label, it's got to be worth it.

It's going to align you with certain producers, align you for certain opportunities. It's going to get you on the music charts.

It hasn't really done that. Yes, iTunes is fantastic, but that's off the strength of her name and being on Ralph's Wise of Atlanta. That's not going to open up doors when it comes to the actual industry that doesn't want to really welcome in reality stars. Okay, yeah, I got you. Because I was wondering, why is she renting out this WeWork to pretend she's signing it? Is it an actual label? Because she made it sound like she was at the label, but then she was with her lawyer, and then she had to have a call with Dennis to clear up that he never said that he was...

fucking her in exchange for studio space. Yeah.

Yeah. So that's also crazy. And I get it. People are like, you know, she doesn't lie about a lot, but she lies a lot. There's a lot of, there's a lot of like pretend that we get from, from Drew. And I also didn't understand why is your road manager there? Is that your manager? But they said road manager. Like, are we on tour? I don't know. So much of Drew just confuses me. And then she signed the paper, but I don't know what she was signing. Neither does she. I still don't, I,

Still don't know what she was signing. She was signing like her DoorDash tip. I don't know what it was. But she started jumping around and screaming. And then we get the scene some of us have been waiting for. The return of Phaedra. Phaedra's back. And she's ready to fuck some shit up. So we had a Phaedra and...

um, Porsche scene where they were also dancing around together with champagne and laughing, but I bought it because I don't know, they've had more than a decade or they've had like a decade to back it up or whatever. But have they really even been around each other? I've seen Porsche with candy more than I've ever seen. I have never even seen her with Adria since the show ended.

with them i don't know but today i went to a housewarming thing and it was for my old boss that i used to i used to wait tables at this moroccan restaurant for like 10 years and it was the waiters like the me and these three girls and we were like best friends like we just saw each other so i think like housewives is probably like waiting tables where you see each other and you're like do you remember that old used to come in and make us get extra butter

Like, no one gets me like you guys. But I would have expected at least maybe once we would have seen Portia and Phaedra together, especially because they're in these worlds. Yes. And we just literally saw them come together recently for this show. Well, and they were both doing the housewife talk around, like, oh, gosh, we've stayed friends. Well, I mean, you know, we've...

You know, we're kind of friends. Okay, well, we do see each other all the time. She's like, but you've never been to this house, right? You've been there for a while, Phaedra. And the thing is, too, it's Atlanta. These people see each other all the time. So it's kind of shocking that we haven't seen them in photos or anything like that in the last 10 years. Yeah. Well, maybe they weren't taking them together because they probably get slammed every time they post a picture together in the past. Ever since Phaedra left. They don't care. You don't think they care? No. And Phaedra still hasn't even apologized.

Did she not apologize? No. Really? No. Wow. So even now she's saying like, well, and we see the clips of they didn't say, well, yeah, I guess they did say what she said. Yeah. Which was fantastic.

they wanted to drug Portia and take her to a sex stunt, which was the craziest thing. That was the craziest storyline anyway. It was the dumbest thing ever. Like, oh, okay, Candy and Todd really want to drug you. And then that's turned into people saying that they were calling Candy a rapist. And I was like, well, a wanting to rape. I mean, I don't know. That whole thing was so problematic. So then, of course, she doesn't even go into the whole thing. She's just like, well, when I was a real housewife, the way that ended wasn't good, but...

She would let she without sin be the first to cast a stone. Well, here's the thing with Phaedra. She is great at television, but I feel like in this particular world of where you have to share your life, especially if you're going to be full-time, if she was a friend of, I think it would probably work, but she's coming in, this is the last two weeks of filming.

That she's coming in. Oh, really? Is that late? So they just have the trip and then that's it? Basically. Oh, wow. So there's not going to be a lot that Phaedra is going to necessarily bring. If anything, Cynthia should have been full time. She's been here since the beginning of the season and she's hosting parties and doing all these different things and trying to navigate these different battles that's happening within the group.

It doesn't necessarily make sense to me. Maybe next season, because based on what Andy has said, it looks like Phaedra is formally back on Real Housewives of Atlanta until further notice. Well, it looks like she's going to fuck things up. And I thought, you know, look, here comes Phaedra. She's got a chance to redeem herself. Let's watch her be nice for a few episodes. Nope. Nope.

The first thing she says, she's like, that Kelly, she's just so tiny. She's giving garden gnome. And you know, I love small people. It's my fetish. Remember my Christmas party when I had all those tiny little people? And then we see her inviting like Pete. She's like, you are still so problematic. How is this your first monologue back on the show? What is wrong with you? A lot. A lot.

a lot is wrong with her. And she had some interesting things to say about Britt Eadie or Eadie Bricks as she called her.

Yeah, she said Britt E., I think. And she said, yes, she's a woman about town, a woman about the city and countries. She's got more bodies than Willie, they say. And I was like, leave Willie Nelson out of this. But then they showed that it was Willie the Undertaker. So see, that's the thing about Phaedra. She's still got that funeral business. She's got a lot of it. She's still got the law firm. I said that with a question mark. Yeah.

Law firm? Law firm? So I think that that kind of is Phaedra's real life. I think that she's just...

Kind of comes off as a phony, but I mean, I don't know. Like, you know, like I said, some people are just like that. I don't know what you need her to show. I mean, I want to see the funeral business. I just need you to show your life. And clearly, I feel she's very much like Portia. She's not going to.

she's only going to show us as much. And I already knew that based off of when she was on Ultimate Girls Trip and they were trying to bring up the stuff of the past and she was just not. She came on Meriton Medicine talking about she was dating a doctor. We never got to see the doctor. We saw a cartoon character. So I just feel like...

Even when we're supposed to get something from her, we never get there. And it's just like, okay, so what are you here? Okay, if you're going to give us commentary on the friends, okay, be a friend of. That's all we need. I don't need to see you slobbing down, shake, who's really dating some other woman in Atlanta. Is that what's happening? Yeah, that's a word on the street. Oh, so she's the other woman? I think she's paying him, allegedly.

Oh, okay. Well, she's got the money. Yeah. I mean, I think that is that the guy that was on married to medicine? Yeah. Oh, yeah. He does a good job. Like he's still kind of stands up for her and stuff. That's a good. Oh, yeah.

Who is this hoe? Where do I find a hoe like that? It's a good hoe. So, yeah. So she's getting messy about Brit and basically slut-shaming Brit. And then kind of getting some little people commentary in there. And then she's saying, oh, and then I hear Charles Oakley has a wife now. So she's coming back to cause some shit. And I like it because...

Like, obviously, I respect your opinion. I just I like when people are funny. So if they're funny, then I forgive. Yeah. So as long as Phaedra can make me laugh.

then I'm good. And I felt like this scene, I was like, "Oh, God, it's kind of back to life right now." -'Cause I think-- - It came too late, though. What's that? It came too late in the episode. It did come too late. Yeah, I agree. But we see scenes like the country club scene, and I think that's kind of the main problem with Atlanta. We see them all trying, which is good, because they're making an effort, which is a lot more than you can say for some shows. -Right. -But it's just-- Yeah.

Truly. But it's just not really gelling. Like they tried to start maybe three or four different fights at that country club scene and they just weren't

It's like they fought about him too many times or they just don't know each other well enough or they just don't care about each other enough to really fight. And so it was nice to see people. It was nice to at least laugh because I was laughing my ass off. You needed that. Yeah. I want to mention, though, when they talk, when Phaedra mentioned that that Charles Oakley, oh, he's married, like it's a question mark.

I think that would land if Wendy Williams did not talk about Angela Oakley on her nationally syndicated daytime talk show. We all knew that Charles Oakley was married. It'd be different if we didn't know that. Like there wasn't this big drama that was in all the tabloids and on TV. And now it's coming up again.

People know that he's married to Angela Oakley. Does he claim her on television? Well, that's a whole other thing. Well, I'm wondering if Phaedra's gonna bring up that she left him or they were not together for a while. 'Cause that's so Phaedra. It'd be like, "Oh, he had a wife? I thought that they broke up in the time he needed her the most." Or whatever, you know, Phaedra will pull some bullshit like that. I think she's gonna be in the center of all of that drama we saw in the mid-season trailer that happens at that group event where that random man is in the middle of it.

Well, then she's doing her damn job, which, you know, people and I, you know, read online, people are so pissed that they're bringing Phaedra back. But if she's going to make it good, even for two episodes, like I'll take I will take a gold level couple of episodes of Atlanta. I'm open to it because I do believe that at some particular point we have to be able to move forward. I don't feel like someone needs to be.

punished for forever. I think it's the same season, though, of firing Kenya for what she did. You bring back someone that did what Phaedra did. I think that's where fans are sort of like, um, like, that doesn't make sense. But I also see a lot of people that are excited for Phaedra to return. Well, let's finish with this, and I'm sure you've given this opinion so many times, but I haven't heard it yet. So what are your thoughts on the Kenya fight?

Oh, my gosh. I'm surprised that they kept it in because it happened so early in the season. But the fact that they kept it in, and I said this before the season started airing, I said, the fact that they're keeping this in says to me the season wasn't that great.

because this happened the first three weeks of filming. They filmed for several months. I was like, "Okay, if you're focusing on that, that says to me everything else that you had during the season wasn't hitting." And then Phaedra comes in at the end, says to me the season was not hitting. And based on what we've seen in these first 12 episodes, the most interesting episodes were those first five episodes with Kenya there. I think it stood out to me, and again, I'm not a team twirl or team anyone, team me. I don't know these people. I don't care to know these people.

But the thing for me is they had Kenya there without the confessionals, and that stood out to me. And it's just like, "Okay, Kenya's there, and we kind of know Kenya would be funny and quirky and give us something in those confessionals." And it just felt empty. So, sort of like, why give us that and then not give us everything? - Yeah. Yeah, I agree. - And now she's not going to be at the reunion. - I know. Oh, my God. - That doesn't make sense. And she was a part of the season. Like, we were supposed to get the narrative from Brit Eady?

Oh, my God. Yeah, that whole thing. We're going to get some Brit tears and like no one is like played out. I'm tired of it. But, you know, sometimes with new things, it's like with a first season. Sometimes it's like this sucks. You know, I mean, real Salt Lake City was the last one I think that was new, right? Like totally New York.

Yeah. But like totally new, I think, was Salt Lake City. And the first year I thought this is fun. Like, this is funny because it's so different. But it was rough. And then to see what it came what it became later. You know, so you've got to give them time. But sometimes it doesn't work like New York didn't work. That second season tanked. And then, you know, we'll just but hopefully by next year, they'll.

you know, really have it to be firing all cylinders. But, you know, I support the reboot for the most part. I've just... Come on, Phaedra. Bring it around in the end, Phaedra. I think it's important. I mean, I think what we saw with Miami showed that it worked. But I think what...

What was great about Miami was that they had a period of time where they weren't on the air. So even the people that were a part of it originally, we hadn't seen their lives in a very long time. They hadn't been on television in a long time. I think it becomes a thing when people are on television for so long that they start self-producing. They start becoming a character instead of just being real. And-- Well, now they're already kind of doing it being new, you know? That's kind of what we're saying about Kelly and Shamia is-- Yeah.

So who knows? But this was great. Thank you so much for coming and spending so much time with me. I really kept you here forever. I didn't even look at that clock. This is actually light.
