Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's interesting this season for some reason that I'm watching
- 0:03Speaker 1: on the show.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Is Kenya Moore being slutshained.
- 0:08Speaker 1: And when I say that, I'm not calling Kenya more slut,
- 0:12Speaker 1: so let's be very clear. But there's this constant conversation
- 0:15Speaker 1: about her sexual history that I think is very interesting
- 0:22Speaker 1: because I don't think it's bad that Kenya is just
- 0:27Speaker 1: saying to Candy, I felt uncomfortable having vibrating panties on
- 0:34Speaker 1: that other people, including men, can control.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Stay tuned.
- 0:39Speaker 1: We'll get into my recap of the Real Housewives of
- 0:42Speaker 1: Atlanta recent episode right after this quick break. Hey, rain drops,
- 0:53Speaker 1: So we have a very special episode today. I am
- 0:57Speaker 1: recapping the most recent episode of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Yes,
- 1:04Speaker 1: as you all know, I was taping my late night
- 1:07Speaker 1: show on own call The Nightcap with Carlos King. First
- 1:11Speaker 1: of all, thank you all so much for watching it.
- 1:13Speaker 1: The show is doing really well in the ratings. Everyone
- 1:16Speaker 1: loves it. Thank you so much for supporting it. So
- 1:19Speaker 1: now that I'm back, you know, I want to recap
- 1:22Speaker 1: these episodes weekly. So I haven't recapped an episode of
- 1:27Speaker 1: the Real Housewives of Atlanta since episode one, the premiere,
- 1:33Speaker 1: which I gave it a B plus. Remember, and I
- 1:36Speaker 1: said that, you know what what I'm seeing right now
- 1:39Speaker 1: is Marlow is carrying the show and that you.
- 1:44Speaker 2: May want to rename the show the Real Marlowe of Atlanta.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Yes, and then obviously we have Marlo Hampton on as well, which,
- 1:55Speaker 1: by the way, that particular episode broke Twitter and it also,
- 1:59Speaker 1: you know, increase some viewership for the show.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:06Speaker 1: So the fourth we call Brolockhampton is working overtime. And
- 2:11Speaker 1: after watching this most recent episode, I have to say
- 2:17Speaker 1: I was right. This is the marlow Show, ladies and gentlemen,
- 2:21Speaker 1: and she is making sure that these ladies are working. So, look,
- 2:26Speaker 1: this recap is going to be very different. I'm not
- 2:29Speaker 1: going to go play by play talking about every single
- 2:33Speaker 1: scene and dissect everything because who got tient for that child?
- 2:36Speaker 2: I certainly don't.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Instead, we're going to talk about big picture moments.
- 2:41Speaker 2: I know you guys care.
- 2:42Speaker 1: More about like, tell us what you think about it,
- 2:44Speaker 1: give it to a straight no chaser, and then let's
- 2:47Speaker 1: go on Twitter and throw you shade in case we
- 2:53Speaker 1: disagree with you. So let's get started. I have to
- 2:57Speaker 1: say this week's episode was It's fine, it wasn't great.
- 3:02Speaker 1: I really did enjoy their prior week's episode when it
- 3:06Speaker 1: was the aftermath of Charae being left stranded honey in
- 3:11Speaker 1: Philadelphia with her Mary J. Blige, no drama fur and
- 3:17Speaker 1: her outfit and sunglasses. Honey, Yes, with Chara Charay was
- 3:22Speaker 1: giving all of us Mary J.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Blige with the fashions, and I was here for it.
- 3:27Speaker 1: So the aftermath of that was the episode where Marlowe
- 3:32Speaker 1: came over told her like, we need to get you
- 3:35Speaker 1: out of the house, and Marlow's for her car and
- 3:39Speaker 1: had like this fendy shopping spree and it was this
- 3:42Speaker 1: beautiful sisterhood moment. And when I say to you, guys,
- 3:46Speaker 1: I loved that scene so much.
- 3:49Speaker 2: I loved it. I loved it. I loved it.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Because to me, what makes the Real Housewives of Atalanta
- 3:55Speaker 1: so special. Yes, they're funny, they throw shade, they know
- 3:59Speaker 1: how to read. They're the best comedians out of the
- 4:02Speaker 1: franchise period right, which is why they've always been number one.
- 4:06Speaker 1: But one thing about that franchise as well as the
- 4:10Speaker 1: personal story, so to see Charae be vulnerable and Marlowe
- 4:15Speaker 1: be vulnerable, I was here for it. So I loved
- 4:19Speaker 1: that episode. I loved it so much. I sent a
- 4:23Speaker 1: text to the showrunner saying, now this episode you're on
- 4:28Speaker 1: point with.
- 4:31Speaker 2: Yeah, HODEI in my phavor voice.
- 4:33Speaker 1: I'm teasing you know, I'm silly, but no, I really
- 4:35Speaker 1: did love that episode. So this particular episode the continuation
- 4:41Speaker 1: of Sanya's event with her mom, and we had the
- 4:45Speaker 1: legendary Mama Joys there and then it starts with Drew
- 4:51Speaker 1: Sodora entering the scene where should I begin? Remember, guys,
- 4:56Speaker 1: I really did like episode one. I gave it a
- 4:59Speaker 1: B plus, which is a great grade for a season
- 5:02Speaker 1: premiere episode. Episode two of the Real Hotspots of Atlanta
- 5:06Speaker 1: was a D. I hated that episode. It was a
- 5:09Speaker 1: D plus and the D stood for Drew because I
- 5:14Speaker 1: wasn't too fond of the acting scene that end of
- 5:19Speaker 1: the episode between her and Ralph. I don't know. I'm
- 5:22Speaker 1: not buying what they selling, honey. It gave me very
- 5:24Speaker 1: much Lifetime Movie of the Week executive produced by Bishop T.
- 5:30Speaker 1: D Jakes and directed by Robin Gibbons. I was not
- 5:34Speaker 1: here for it. I thought that was some of Drew's
- 5:36Speaker 1: best acting work that I have seen since the Game,
- 5:41Speaker 1: and since she played t Boss in the TLC.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Biopic, honey.
- 5:45Speaker 1: I mean, look, in the words of t Boss, Drew,
- 5:48Speaker 1: don't go chasing water falls.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Just stick to the rivers and the lakes that we're
- 5:54Speaker 2: used to.
- 5:54Speaker 1: I just think her and Ralph studied Love and Marriage
- 5:59Speaker 1: Huntsville and said, you and I are going to be
- 6:03Speaker 1: the Melody and Martell Holt of the Real Housewives of Atlanta,
- 6:08Speaker 1: and we're going to give this world some scenes. I
- 6:11Speaker 1: don't buy it. I don't, so I've been very hard
- 6:15Speaker 1: on Drew since then. However, Comma this episode, I'm starting
- 6:21Speaker 1: to like Drew. And the reason why I'm starting to
- 6:25Speaker 1: like Drew is because Sonya is so insufferable.
- 6:30Speaker 2: She really is looking for a moment.
- 6:32Speaker 1: And the reason why I'm siding with Drew is because
- 6:36Speaker 1: when Drew is faced with something that she and her
- 6:41Speaker 1: four assistance and rap did not plan or did not
- 6:44Speaker 1: script out, She's really a good housewife. Because Sonya checked
- 6:50Speaker 1: Drew and it was unexpected for Drew. Drew gave great
- 6:54Speaker 1: moments because it wasn't anything that was pre planned or
- 6:59Speaker 1: pre produced or pre written or predirected or pre scored,
- 7:04Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? Like, it was a
- 7:06Speaker 1: real moment. And when Drew is faced with the real moments.
- 7:10Speaker 1: She actually is a great housewife, and I want to
- 7:13Speaker 1: see more of that. So let's be real here. Sonya
- 7:18Speaker 1: is looking for a moment, and let me tell you
- 7:20Speaker 1: what that means. So every once in a while, when
- 7:22Speaker 1: you're watching, especially the Real Housewives of Atlanta, those women
- 7:27Speaker 1: have this thing called a moment. You're looking for a moment.
- 7:31Speaker 1: I'm not giving you a moment. You're looking for a moment.
- 7:33Speaker 1: And if you listen to my episode with Marlow Hampton,
- 7:37Speaker 1: remember how Marlow said during season nine, Yes, honey, that
- 7:41Speaker 1: epic season when the girls went camping and her and
- 7:44Speaker 1: Kenya Moore were getting into it, and Marlow said that
- 7:47Speaker 1: Kenya told her, you're looking for a moment. I'm not
- 7:50Speaker 1: giving you a moment, and that I Carlos King said, honey,
- 7:54Speaker 1: you will give her a moment.
- 7:56Speaker 2: You will give her whatever she needs. Okay.
- 7:59Speaker 1: So when my wife says that they feel like a
- 8:02Speaker 1: particular housewife or friend to the show is looking for
- 8:07Speaker 1: a moment to make herself relevant on the show.
- 8:09Speaker 2: And sometimes that is true.
- 8:11Speaker 1: And what I can tell you, guys, is the fact
- 8:14Speaker 1: that that's what.
- 8:15Speaker 2: Sonya is doing.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Because it doesn't make any sense that all of a sudden,
- 8:21Speaker 1: you're creating this fake beef out of nowhere.
- 8:24Speaker 2: It is my fundamental belief.
- 8:26Speaker 1: That a producer must have told Sonya you are not
- 8:31Speaker 1: good and you don't have anything that is happening that
- 8:36Speaker 1: makes you interesting as it relates to your friendships with
- 8:40Speaker 1: these ladies. And I believe, as the former producer of
- 8:43Speaker 1: that show, that Sonya was looking to get a moment
- 8:48Speaker 1: off of Drew.
- 8:49Speaker 2: And let me tell you, guys, why I know that
- 8:51Speaker 2: to be true.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Drew looked at Sonya like, what are you doing and
- 8:56Speaker 1: why didn't you tell me that when we were getting
- 8:59Speaker 1: our hair and makeup done? And what Drew was saying
- 9:03Speaker 1: to Sonya that moment is game recognizes game, Actress recognizes actress.
- 9:11Speaker 1: I'm an actress and clearly you're acting in this moment
- 9:14Speaker 1: to Sonya. And I'm telling you, I know you're looking
- 9:17Speaker 1: for a moment because none of this is making sense.
- 9:20Speaker 1: And that's why a lot of people are confused as
- 9:23Speaker 1: to why Sonya all of a sudden, has this issue
- 9:26Speaker 1: with Drew because it came out of thin air. And
- 9:28Speaker 1: the reason why it came out of thin air is
- 9:30Speaker 1: because Sonya needed to do.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Something to remain relevant on the show.
- 9:34Speaker 1: She's a new housewife, and when you are a new housewife,
- 9:37Speaker 1: you do have all this pressure put on you to
- 9:39Speaker 1: be relevant.
- 9:40Speaker 2: So she's using Drew to be relevant.
- 9:42Speaker 1: And because she's doing that, I am signing more with Drew.
- 9:46Speaker 1: And I think Drew is so interesting now because she
- 9:49Speaker 1: definitely is warming up to the audience by being her
- 9:54Speaker 1: authentic self. Sonya, listen, y'all know me. I'm not mean
- 9:59Speaker 1: suspit here. It did, but I'm gonna keep it funky.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Sonya is a cloud chaser to me. Yes, you have
- 10:06Speaker 1: fold Olympic gold medals. That's fine. You even brought it
- 10:11Speaker 1: to the table with screened I'm looking for a moment, honey,
- 10:15Speaker 1: obbos with Drew. When Drew said, Kenya Moore, it's miss Usa.
- 10:20Speaker 1: Is she bringing her crown to a scene? I'm with you,
- 10:24Speaker 1: sed this that was That was the epitome of doing
- 10:27Speaker 1: the most. Sonya is not coming across natural because she
- 10:32Speaker 1: is looking for moments to happen.
- 10:35Speaker 2: And I don't know.
- 10:36Speaker 1: I find Sonya to be very unlikable. I find her
- 10:39Speaker 1: to be unlikable so far, but remember I found Drew
- 10:46Speaker 1: to be unlikable too, until Drew decided to remove the
- 10:53Speaker 1: script from her purse and decided to be more invested
- 10:57Speaker 1: and more present in the scene. And that's why is
- 11:00Speaker 1: becoming way more interesting to me than she was last
- 11:04Speaker 1: season and at the top of the season.
- 11:06Speaker 2: So that's why Mama Joyce.
- 11:09Speaker 1: Which, by the way, I was so happy to see
- 11:11Speaker 1: Mama Joyce back on our screens, Honey, in the small
- 11:15Speaker 1: section that they aired of her, gave me everything I
- 11:19Speaker 1: needed and I wanted more. Anytime Mama Joyce tells y'all
- 11:24Speaker 1: this argument is significant. It's because the legendary Mama Joyce
- 11:28Speaker 1: also knows a fake moment when.
- 11:30Speaker 2: She sees one.
- 11:32Speaker 1: Mama Joyce is a legend. I believe that Mama joy
- 11:35Speaker 1: sat there and was like, what is this. You guys
- 11:37Speaker 1: invited me to go to this all girls event.
- 11:40Speaker 2: I've been to girls event.
- 11:42Speaker 1: I was the one who got the party started at
- 11:44Speaker 1: Candy's Food Tasting season nine when she told a remember.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Mama Joyce Todra.
- 11:53Speaker 1: Yeah, you know I saw him on the news that
- 11:55Speaker 1: you know that guy had a bomb because he said
- 11:58Speaker 1: he got tired of you playing with him and he
- 12:00Speaker 1: was gonna blow you to fuck up.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 12:02Speaker 1: No, he said he was gonna blow you to fuck up. No,
- 12:05Speaker 1: he said he got tired of you playing with him.
- 12:07Speaker 2: He was going to blow you the fuck up.
- 12:10Speaker 1: And Kenya legend Moore said, I got that part, Mama Joyce.
- 12:14Speaker 1: He wanted to blow her the fuck up. Yes, Mama
- 12:18Speaker 1: Joyce even knows what a good scene is in a
- 12:22Speaker 1: good moment. And when she said to those women, how
- 12:26Speaker 1: this is so significant?
- 12:29Speaker 2: That goes to show you, guys that what I'm saying
- 12:32Speaker 2: is right.
- 12:32Speaker 1: And my advice to Sonya, and I don't mean to
- 12:35Speaker 1: bush your name, because I'm not that guy. If I'm
- 12:37Speaker 1: saying you're wrong, I apologize in my Nita Baker voice.
- 12:40Speaker 1: My advice to you, shall you be back next season,
- 12:44Speaker 1: which I think you will be. Just be yourself and
- 12:48Speaker 1: don't look for moments, but create moments, honey, because as
- 12:51Speaker 1: of now, I'm not interested in anything that you're selling,
- 12:55Speaker 1: none of it, Honey. I'm over it and I'm not
- 12:57Speaker 1: into it, okay, But what I am into is.
- 13:00Speaker 2: Your mama, honey.
- 13:01Speaker 1: Yes, Mama Sonya to me is going to be great
- 13:06Speaker 1: television and I really do want to see more from her.
- 13:11Speaker 1: What's interesting about Mama Sonya, which listen, I feel so
- 13:15Speaker 1: bad I forgot her name, so We're gonna call her
- 13:19Speaker 1: Mama Sonya.
- 13:19Speaker 2: Honey.
- 13:20Speaker 1: What I like about Mama Sonya is she reminds me
- 13:24Speaker 1: of Mama Joyce in the sense of she is overprotective
- 13:28Speaker 1: of her daughter and she is going to raise hell
- 13:33Speaker 1: based on what her daughter tells her. And what makes
- 13:36Speaker 1: her a great reality start that I'm seeing so far
- 13:40Speaker 1: that her daughter should take note of is the fact
- 13:42Speaker 1: that she is present and seene and she has an opinion,
- 13:48Speaker 1: and you can tell she is reacting to what's happening
- 13:52Speaker 1: in the moment because when Kenya Moore talks about rehearsed reads,
- 13:59Speaker 1: Sonya gave a rehearse read that whole Honey, I'm a
- 14:03Speaker 1: for Olympic gold medalist, Honey, like girl, you have been
- 14:07Speaker 1: waiting to say that since you held the peach. You
- 14:11Speaker 1: have been waiting to say that, since they called you
- 14:13Speaker 1: and said you were a housewife.
- 14:15Speaker 2: You have been sitting on that.
- 14:17Speaker 1: When people say sitting on ready, you were sitting on
- 14:20Speaker 1: the read.
- 14:20Speaker 2: That was a rehearse read.
- 14:22Speaker 1: I'm not mad at it, but again my advice is
- 14:26Speaker 1: make it sound less rehearsed. So moving forward, when you
- 14:30Speaker 1: have these things you want to say, just don't rehearse
- 14:36Speaker 1: it in the mirror like your Easter ray on Insecure
- 14:40Speaker 1: talking to the Insecure version of herself. Okay, that's my
- 14:47Speaker 1: advice to you. But your mother is great, she's present,
- 14:51Speaker 1: So I do think you will have a good shelf
- 14:55Speaker 1: life on the show, especially because your mom is great
- 14:58Speaker 1: and your husband is fine.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Stay tuned as I get.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Into more of my Real Housewives of Atlanta episode recap.
- 15:07Speaker 1: This is just getting good, y'all. We'll be right back
- 15:10Speaker 1: after this quick break. This is reality with the King,
- 15:19Speaker 1: and I'm Carlos King. Let's get back into my Real
- 15:22Speaker 1: Housewives of Atlanta episode recap. There's this big issue happening
- 15:31Speaker 1: about slutshaming and being sexually free.
- 15:34Speaker 2: You know, one thing about the Real.
- 15:35Speaker 1: Housewives of Atlanta that I've always enjoyed is the fact
- 15:38Speaker 1: that these women are free spirits. You know, no one
- 15:41Speaker 1: ever slut shamed Portia when she called herself the Princess
- 15:48Speaker 1: of thought Landia.
- 15:49Speaker 2: You know, it was always fun and funny.
- 15:51Speaker 1: What's interesting this season, for some reason that I'm watching
- 15:55Speaker 1: on the show.
- 15:56Speaker 2: Is Kenya Moore being slut shamed.
- 16:00Speaker 1: And when I say that, I'm not calling Kenya more slut.
- 16:03Speaker 1: So let's be very clear but there's this constant conversation
- 16:07Speaker 1: about her sexual history that I think is very interesting
- 16:14Speaker 1: because I don't think it's bad that Kenya is just
- 16:18Speaker 1: saying to Candy, I felt uncomfortable having vibrating panties on,
- 16:25Speaker 1: that other people, including men, can control, that they can
- 16:30Speaker 1: control my orgasms, that they can control my stimulation, that
- 16:36Speaker 1: they can control my vibration, that they can control my vagina.
- 16:41Speaker 1: Like I don't think anyone should control someone else's vagina
- 16:46Speaker 1: unless it's a mutual understanding that I want you to
- 16:50Speaker 1: do it.
- 16:50Speaker 2: So I don't think that's a problem.
- 16:52Speaker 1: Listen, we all know that Candy is sexually free, and
- 16:55Speaker 1: I give her all the profits in the world for
- 16:57Speaker 1: being open about that because she didn't have to tell
- 16:59Speaker 1: anybody that she's been with women before. You know, she
- 17:02Speaker 1: has a very highly successful vibrating line and sex toy line.
- 17:09Speaker 2: Like, Candy is a boss.
- 17:11Speaker 1: She's rich, and she has made millions off of this business.
- 17:17Speaker 1: I love that about her. You know, Candy doesn't skip
- 17:21Speaker 1: a check, and I think that's beautiful. And listen in
- 17:23Speaker 1: Candy's defense because.
- 17:25Speaker 2: I know Candy, y'all, don't.
- 17:30Speaker 1: Y'all be going in and don't know the woman I
- 17:33Speaker 1: actually know Candy, and Candy's defense the vibrating panties was
- 17:38Speaker 1: her being a marketing executive. She wanted to promote the
- 17:42Speaker 1: latest venture from the Bid Room Candy line. So in
- 17:47Speaker 1: Candy's defense, what she was trying to do was use
- 17:51Speaker 1: the show to promote her business. But wearing the vibrating
- 17:56Speaker 1: panties is one thing I do think where things got
- 17:59Speaker 1: messed stuff, in my opinion is when she revealed that
- 18:03Speaker 1: other people could control the vibration. That's the part I
- 18:07Speaker 1: think she messed up, because then it's sort of like,
- 18:10Speaker 1: this isn't consensual. If I want your husband or these
- 18:15Speaker 1: men to control my underwear, then let me tell them
- 18:18Speaker 1: to control it. But the fact that I'm walking around
- 18:21Speaker 1: Broadway in Times Square and I'm walking on the pavement
- 18:25Speaker 1: in my lubatons and I'm almost falling through the pavement
- 18:28Speaker 1: cracks because my kouchi is vibrating, and I'm trying to
- 18:32Speaker 1: watch this play and I can't watch it because I'm
- 18:35Speaker 1: too busy in lust. Because somebody in our five at
- 18:39Speaker 1: the theater, Honey, is controlling my vagina. That's where things
- 18:43Speaker 1: got messed up. Because of that. I do understand why
- 18:47Speaker 1: Kenya was upset with it because her and Cherat and
- 18:50Speaker 1: Marlow were the single women going on this trip. So
- 18:55Speaker 1: the fact that Kenya brought it up to me I
- 19:00Speaker 1: also understood, and I think in Kenya's defense, it is uncomfortable.
- 19:04Speaker 2: Listen. It's one thing to be sexually free.
- 19:06Speaker 1: And listen, I know a lot of women who are,
- 19:09Speaker 1: but I also think you also have to respect people
- 19:11Speaker 1: who aren't, and it can be a situation where I'm
- 19:15Speaker 1: dissing you because you're not as sexually open as I am.
- 19:19Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 19:20Speaker 1: I was surprised that in Candy's Confessionals she said, Kenya
- 19:24Speaker 1: has all kinds of crazy sex stories, but now you
- 19:27Speaker 1: are clutching your pearls. We know that your history has
- 19:31Speaker 1: been talked about before sexually, So I don't know, like,
- 19:33Speaker 1: was that a dis Because social media was mad that
- 19:37Speaker 1: Marlow made these comments about Candy's sexual history and Kenya's as.
- 19:43Speaker 2: Well, y'all went in on Marlow.
- 19:45Speaker 1: Y'all went in on Marlow my podcast for saying things
- 19:48Speaker 1: about Candy's sexual history. Y'all try to go in on
- 19:51Speaker 1: me for asking the question. I'm like, I ask questions
- 19:54Speaker 1: about everybody on the show. It's not my fault that
- 19:57Speaker 1: social media takes a sound bite and runs with with
- 20:00Speaker 1: it that someone else said. So, if you guys are
- 20:03Speaker 1: mad at Marlowe for making these comments, and listen.
- 20:07Speaker 2: I agree with you, guys.
- 20:08Speaker 1: I'm all about being fair because we don't do it
- 20:11Speaker 1: to men and I don't think we should do it
- 20:13Speaker 1: to women. But if that's the case, then are you
- 20:15Speaker 1: guys also mad about what Candy intimated? She didn't call
- 20:20Speaker 1: her a hoe, but do you guys think she intimated
- 20:24Speaker 1: anything that could have added to Marlowe's statement about Kenya
- 20:30Speaker 1: being a hoe. Let me hear from you, guys, because
- 20:32Speaker 1: I'm curious if you guys felt that way, because when
- 20:34Speaker 1: I saw it, I clutched my own damn pearls honey
- 20:38Speaker 1: when she said it, because I was like, ooh, I don't.
- 20:42Speaker 2: I didn't think.
- 20:42Speaker 1: Kinga deserved that, honey, just like I don't think Kenya
- 20:45Speaker 1: nor Candy deserved what Marlowe said.
- 20:48Speaker 2: So what's good for the goose? Is it good for
- 20:50Speaker 2: the gander? Let's talk about it. My thoughts on Kenya
- 20:55Speaker 2: this season.
- 20:57Speaker 1: Y'all know I am a Kenya Moore stand and I
- 21:02Speaker 1: have no shame about admitting that I call her Kenya
- 21:06Speaker 1: legend more. She was number four on my list of
- 21:10Speaker 1: the Greatest Housewives of all time.
- 21:13Speaker 2: I love Kenya.
- 21:14Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say that Kenya definitely is
- 21:17Speaker 1: taking a break this season. And guess what, as much
- 21:20Speaker 1: as I want to see the old Kenya back, I
- 21:23Speaker 1: understand it. Kenya has been carrying this show since she's
- 21:28Speaker 1: been on season five. And I can say that because
- 21:32Speaker 1: I know what happens behind the scenes since season six, seven, eight,
- 21:39Speaker 1: and nine. All those seasons, nothing would happen without Kenya
- 21:44Speaker 1: because Kenya was the force multiplier who made.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Sure that things happen.
- 21:49Speaker 1: And I think because Kenya has been a part of
- 21:53Speaker 1: this show for nine years, she's exhausted. But I do
- 21:58Speaker 1: miss the old Kenya. And one thing Marlow is doing.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Marlow is working over time to pull out the old Kenya.
- 22:08Speaker 1: And when I say to you, the best part about
- 22:11Speaker 1: that dinner scene is when Kenya, who was very frustrated,
- 22:17Speaker 1: was checking Marlow. When Kenya said, your comprehension is very off, and.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Marlow goes, no, bitch, your wig is very off.
- 22:28Speaker 1: And what was funnier is Kenya gag because she was
- 22:32Speaker 1: not expecting that. And the funniest part about all of
- 22:36Speaker 1: that is the fact that Kenya, the fact that Kenya
- 22:44Speaker 1: even acknowledged that her wig was bad and she's sick
- 22:48Speaker 1: because I love Kenya.
- 22:49Speaker 2: The fact that Kenya said.
- 22:53Speaker 1: Yeah, it is bad because I have to rush to
- 22:55Speaker 1: get here. Kenya, I love you more and more at
- 23:07Speaker 1: r more baby.
- 23:08Speaker 2: That was hilarious to me.
- 23:10Speaker 1: If that's why Kenya is alleged, Kenya did not backpedal,
- 23:14Speaker 1: She did not try to like deny her wig was bad.
- 23:18Speaker 2: Kenya owned it.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Kenya actually gagged and said, you know what, bitch, you
- 23:21Speaker 1: got me, You got me. This wig is awful. That
- 23:25Speaker 1: to me, was the highlight of that dynasty and what
- 23:28Speaker 1: I'm seeing so far, guys, Marlow, Charay, and Drew are
- 23:33Speaker 1: carrying this season. Listen, Drew is working overtime. Marlow is
- 23:39Speaker 1: definitely working overtime because Marlow feels like I got a peach.
- 23:43Speaker 1: I'll be damned if y'all say this season is boring
- 23:46Speaker 1: after I got my first peach, Like not on my watch, Okay,
- 23:49Speaker 1: this ain't happening. Booth and Charay is giving us a
- 23:52Speaker 1: personal story, and that's the one thing that I am
- 23:55Speaker 1: missing this season.
- 23:56Speaker 2: I think this season is fine.
- 23:57Speaker 1: I don't think it's bad, but I am missing the
- 24:00Speaker 1: personal story seeing Charie deal with Tom Rone and that
- 24:04Speaker 1: whole situation, and how Marlowe said to her, would you
- 24:08Speaker 1: allow your daughter to be treated this way if it
- 24:11Speaker 1: was her going through this? Like those are the reasons
- 24:15Speaker 1: why Atlanta was always number one because of personal story,
- 24:18Speaker 1: and I'm not seeing a lot of that this season.
- 24:20Speaker 1: I really want to see what Kenya Moore is going
- 24:23Speaker 1: through as relates to her divorce from Mark.
- 24:26Speaker 2: We were so excited that.
- 24:27Speaker 1: Kenya found love and that she finally got what she
- 24:31Speaker 1: always wanted, which was a baby. I want to see
- 24:34Speaker 1: what Kenya is going through in the divorce proceedings. I
- 24:38Speaker 1: want to see how Kenya is navigating being a single mom.
- 24:41Speaker 2: I want to see Aunt Laurie back. I think a Laurie.
- 24:44Speaker 1: Would come back on the show if she knew they
- 24:45Speaker 1: would only talk about what she's going through being a
- 24:48Speaker 1: single mom. I want to see Kenya with brand and
- 24:51Speaker 1: her best friend. I want to see Kenya with her
- 24:54Speaker 1: cousin Shay. I miss seeing personal story, and my biggest
- 24:59Speaker 1: critis about this season is I don't feel like we're
- 25:02Speaker 1: getting a lot of it from the girls. I want
- 25:04Speaker 1: to see something deeper and richer in story, and I
- 25:08Speaker 1: think Charay is checking out all the boxes and Marlow
- 25:11Speaker 1: is giving us amazing personal story. The scene that ended
- 25:16Speaker 1: this episode of Marlow talking to her sister who's in
- 25:20Speaker 1: jail and being around her nephews as she's on the
- 25:25Speaker 1: phone say what you want to buy Marlow? Marlow when
- 25:28Speaker 1: she's vulnerable, it melts my heart and I'm so happy
- 25:34Speaker 1: that Marlowe is showing that side of her because to me,
- 25:37Speaker 1: Marlow is such a force. That is nice to see
- 25:40Speaker 1: the balance in her storyline, and I want to see
- 25:44Speaker 1: more of that real moment, not only from Marlow but
- 25:48Speaker 1: from the rest of the girls. Like I said, when
- 25:50Speaker 1: Charay and Marlowe, that to me is the best scene
- 25:54Speaker 1: of the season because it was so naturally real Marlow
- 25:58Speaker 1: and Saray hugging and crying and talking in the sisterhood
- 26:03Speaker 1: of it all.
- 26:04Speaker 2: That was beautiful and I want to see more of that.
- 26:08Speaker 1: We'll see how next week's episode is, because I think
- 26:11Speaker 1: that's another.
- 26:14Speaker 2: Argument that's going to happen.
- 26:15Speaker 1: But I'm hoping to see again just some more rich,
- 26:20Speaker 1: deep personal story that you could sink your teeth into,
- 26:23Speaker 1: because I don't want this to be like New York
- 26:25Speaker 1: City Housewives. Well, all they do is have dinner, throwchhete
- 26:29Speaker 1: drinks and party like that ain't the show, so I
- 26:31Speaker 1: want to see more of that. So look, all in all,
- 26:34Speaker 1: I would give this episode a C plus. It wasn't amazing,
- 26:38Speaker 1: but it wasn't bad either. It was definitely the beginning
- 26:42Speaker 1: of some great moments that's to come.
- 26:46Speaker 2: Child Kenya and Marlowe sign me up baby.
- 26:51Speaker 1: Two Aquarius women going toe to toe, babe bae.
- 26:55Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to seeing that.
- 26:57Speaker 1: We see that Sonya is having a conversation with her
- 27:00Speaker 1: finance husband about wanting a baby, and then we get
- 27:04Speaker 1: to see Monieta. Yeah, so Monyatta looks like she's making
- 27:10Speaker 1: an appearance in next week's episode, so definitely looking forward
- 27:14Speaker 1: to that. So yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing that episode.
- 27:18Speaker 1: And again, what I would like to see more is
- 27:21Speaker 1: personal story. I want to see more of those moments
- 27:23Speaker 1: between Charay and Marlowe where they were crying.
- 27:27Speaker 2: Again. I'm really really, really really really really.
- 27:29Speaker 1: Hoping guys that we get to see what Kenya is
- 27:32Speaker 1: going through, because she is going through something deeply personal
- 27:38Speaker 1: and I want to see that, and I'm really praying
- 27:42Speaker 1: that we do, because it will shed light on why
- 27:47Speaker 1: she's more focused on what's happening around her versus being
- 27:52Speaker 1: in the midst of what's happening in the moment like
- 27:56Speaker 1: she usually is. So I'm hoping we can get to
- 28:00Speaker 1: see that. But again, I'm very hopeful that it will
- 28:03Speaker 1: all culminate to being a great season because I do
- 28:07Speaker 1: talk to some of the ladies often and they all
- 28:10Speaker 1: told me that they feel like this is a great season.
- 28:13Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to watching more and commenting more
- 28:17Speaker 1: as well. Thoughts opinions reads about my recap on the
