Re-Cap November 11 The Real Housewives of Atlanta

I finally got around to watching this week's episode. Highly entertaining. We learned Sheree is just as big a fraud as a fashion designer as Kim was as a singer.

Here's my attempt at a re-cap of the lowlights....

Kim, Cori (Kim's sidekick), Sheree and Sheree's anonymous sidekick go boating. Cori can't pilot a boat.

Sheree meets with her sketch artist. Most of the sketches look pretty bad. But, according to Sheree, that's all her seamstresses need.

At NeNe's Big hat lunch NeNe gives a deeply touching spontaneous speech. You could feel the passion she feels about trying to help others. And by the looks on the faces at the lunch, they were moved too.

NeNe raised $19k for her foundation. A bit more than DeShawn's debacle $1 million dollar auction raised. DeShawn spent 30K and took in 10K.

Sheree meets with a bunch of ladies who are going to help her with her fashion line. Including the sketch artist, two consultants, a marketing rep, a publicist and Sheree's assistant. (What is the difference between a publicist and a marketing rep? Why would you need both?) None of these women is the seamstress. But, you know, why should she bother meeting with the seamstress? They can just "work from the sketches". Because, after all, what could go wrong?

NeNe goes in for a DNA test and learns it will be 3 to 5 days for the results.

NeNe and DeShawn talk about DeShawn's Sunset BBQ. DeShawn didn't mention who else was going to be at the BBQ when she talked to Sheree nor when she left a voice mail for Kim. Sheree implied to DeShawn that she would be there.

Sheree interviewed male models? I thought she was supposedly making fashion for women. Where are the female models? Why isn't she interviewing female models?

Lisa goes shopping and DeShawn shows up. They discuss the financial differences between NFL and NBA contracts.

Sheree finds her bad designs made into reality hanging in a plastic garment bag on her porch. Oh oh. Now Sheree knows why one should make time to meet with your seamstress.

At DeShawn's BBQ neither Sheree nor Kim bothered to call DeShawn to say they couldn't make it.

Sheree puts on her ugly face and bitches and whines. First, she bitches out someone about the dress she wants to wear to her fashion event. It was supposed to be exclusive, but someone called to say she saw another one hanging at the store. Next she bitches and whines to her friend about the quality of her fashion samples. On and on and on. About how much effort she put into this, that she "worked her ass off". We didn't see Sheree doing any actual working. They must have edited that out.

Sheree's fashion show. Train wreck. Great train wreck.

NeNe goes to a spa with her gay husband, Dwight.

Lisa at home, gets a call from Ed. He's been picked up by Oakland Raiders.

NeNe gets the results of her DNA test. Curtis isn't her father.

That's it. NeNe has become the favorite of the viewers. Even Anderson Cooper is liking her. Meanwhile Kim and Sheree can't show their faces in Atlanta due to the television humiliation they have brought upon themselves.
