The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Poor Andy Cohen. Though he tried mightily, the Bravo exec could not coax much realness out Atlanta’s Housewives on Thursday night’s reunion show.

When we last saw NeNe and Kim, they literally had each other in a chokehold over — it was revealed at the reunion — rumors started by the axis of Housewives evil: Bethenny Frankel, Ramona Singer and the OC’s Tamra Barney at April’s A-List Awards. Suddenly, the frenemies had mended fences. One can only imagine they hatched a mutually lucrative scheme to release “Tardy for the Party: The Remix” (on which NeNe finally gets autotuned) or consumed enough Patron to induce amnesia over their barnyard epithets.

Kandi appeared numb yet shattered just one week after seeing deceased ex fiancé AJ’s body. Distracting from her genuine grief was the fact that her glittery eye makeup refused to budge through her tears, and that Kim — sympathy oozing off of her like so much pink lip gloss — was practically sitting in Kandi’s lap as she comforted her.

Big Papa appeared, but alas not on camera. Still, it was satisfying to finally get a glimpse into his domestic arrangement with Kim: sleepovers four days a week, 8-karat “engagement ring.”
