REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Friends 'Til The End!

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.

THE PARSLEY CHRONICLES: Chapter 2 – Coming Out Of The Dark
