The Real Housewives of Atlanta came to an awkward, confrontation-infused end last night, and while there weren’t too many explosive moments, I think Lisa’s well-intentioned but supremely uncomfortable dinner at the end truly made for some cringe-worthy television. Kim, looking more like a drag-queen-cum-blowup-doll with her bright lipstick smeared around her pie-hole, could barely defend herself against Nene, who admitted wrongdoing but also was incredibly upfront about her actions. Sher-ayay (Sheree-ay? I still don’t know how to pronounce her name based on its ridiculous spelling) just sat back and barely offered a conciliatory comment. That’s okay. She doesn’t need to surround herself with the plebeians. She’s soon to be fashion’s next big name — assuming she ever gets around to picking out fabrics for her designs and actually paying attention to their creation. I enjoyed Project Runway alum Michael Knight giving her a good talking-to, even though he clearly sugar-coated it in an effort to be friendly. What was even better was Sher-ayay later praising him, saying his insight was invaluable. Of course, all he did was tell her to be hands-on, pick out fabrics, and keep an eye on her seamstresses — common sense, really — but I guess when you’re Sheree-ay, common sense isn’t so, well, common.
Nevertheless, I can talk about last night’s episode ’til the cows come home, but I’m sure what everyone really cares about is next week’s reunion. I am quite, quite excited for it — especially the much hyped Lisa-Kim showdown. Counting down the days…
In the meantime, onto the photocap!

“All I’m saying is that if you bitches ever bail on Drinks & Dialogue, I will flip you over the side of those chairs so fast, you won’t know what hit you.”

“Now that I’m retired, I’m gonna really look into broadcasting, and if there’s anyone out there, ANYONE AT ALL, that wants to hire me, whether they be at NBC or USA or really any member of the NBC Universal Family, I’d be more than happy to come in and audition. HINT HINT.”

“Singing bootcamp? I don’t even know what a bootcamp IS! I hope it doesn’t involve cooking in rocks. I need a cigarette.”

“Ed, I don’t know what I’ll do without you. It’ll be like having drinks with NO DIALOGUE!”

“Take a picture with Nene? I’m sorry, I don’t surround myself with negative people who are so childish that they wouldn’t even take a picture with someone else for two seconds. That’s just not me.”

Nene: “Hey Lisa, who’s that drag queen on the other side of you?”

“Son, I want you to grow up to be a strong, black man. Also, now that we’re at the car dealership, you can probably take your graduation gown off now.”

“Wow, Sher-ayay, your back is so muscular!”
“I know. I’m using a new line of steroids called She-man by Shereé.”

“Hate you!”
“Hate you more!”
