The Final Real Housewives Of Atlanta Episode

I finally got around to watching the final episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. It had some amusing moments. Including Kim slyly flipping NeNe the bird. That occurred at the dinner party that Lisa had arranged so that they could all make up and be friends again.

NeNe asked Kim, "What happened?" Repeating it a couple times, that's when Kim, with her hands clasped under her chin, launched her middle finger.

Earlier when we saw Sheree and Kim meet up outside the restaurant where the peace summit was to take place, of course, they told each other, for the umpteenth time, how beautiful they were looking and how gorgeous their dresses were. Now, I'm no expert in these matters, but isn't that pink dress Kim has on a bit on the tacky/trashy side of the tracks?

At the dinner summit the feuding girls studiously ignored each other til it was making everyone else uncomfortable. So, Lisa, I think it was Lisa, suggested they go around the table and each say what was on their mind. Sheree's "My eyes were opened," annoyed me. She is one annoying woman.

After it started getting heated, some time after Kim did her bird flipping, NeNe's husband, Greg, tried to be Henry Kissinger and negotiate a peace. This ended with Kim saying she would be willing to discuss things with NeNe. Over a glass of wine, of course. Later during the ending credits we learned that that meeting never took place.

Earlier in the episode we learned that Eric Snow was going to retire from basketball. There was a lengthy, boring discussion with his wife, DeShawn, about what he was going to do.

DeShawn asked Eric how he liked her being the breadwinner now. He said he liked it. Who knows how that woman is going to win bread. She can't even bake the stuff. Later DeShawn talked about how she was going to cut back on her spending due to their upcoming drop in income.

Over at Kim's we saw the daughters nagging her about smoking in the house. Previous to that we heard Dallas Austin tell Kim she had to quit smoking and start running 4 miles a day. Kim did not like hearing that she had to go into Singing Bootcamp mode. But, Kim told the daughters she'd quit if they quit sleeping with her. Huh?

Then in a separate confessional Kim told us her girls slept with her because she made a stupid mistake years ago and didn't know how to fix it. Huh, again?

So, Kim's girls gleefully got in Kim's huge supply of cigarettes and threw them in the trash. Later, during the ending credits we learned that Kim had started smoking again.

A disappointing moment came when Sheree met with Michael Knight of Bravo's Project Runway fame. The previews made it look like Sheree would get a better comeuppance than she did. She seemed to take the advice and criticism well and actually seemed to appreciate it. She didn't get all defensive and stupid like Kim did when told her Gift from God voice needed a lot of help.

Anyway, that's about all I remember of the end of this amusing train wreck. The Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion show is Tuesday. It should be some good quality TV viewing.
