The Real Housewives Of Atlanta: Lisa & NeNe Go To LA, Kim Goes To Work On Kandi

I'm days late getting around to watching the latest episode of the The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

So, here's what I think. The whole NeNe going to LA with Lisa thing was strange. It all seemed real forced. Lisa does not act natural. And NeNe is starting to seem like she is constantly way too deep into performance mode. NeNe's trouble at processing Lisa's Asian side was odd. NeNe ended up declaring that Lisa was totally black. The whole graveside thing over the dead gay brother who was the life of the family and who died of mysterious causes, with one of the brother's pouring booze on the grave, was just odd.

NeNe and Lisa's new gay friend they found in the hotel was also strange. Way too much forced laughter at stuff that was not funny.

What was funny was Kim. She went to Kandi's recording studio. And then could not remember the words to "Tardy for the Party." Later Kim called Kandi to arrange a dinner at a steakhouse. Kandi is already seated when Kim arrives, immediately demanding wine. Kandi does not drink, orders a Shirley Temple, with lime, while Kim's eyes roll.

Kim spews so much profanity in public places. I don't see how she does not get a Potty Mouth Ticket from some arbiter of good public taste. Then during the dinner with Kandi, Kim proceeds to do her behind the back cutting that she always denies doing. Kim's main target was her main enemy, Lisa.

And then there is Sheree. The self-proclaimed best designer in Atlanta is getting her first fashion show ready. Of course, she has an event planner. And Mercedes Benz as a sponsor. Sheree's event planners seemed as if they did not quite know what to make of her. It will be fun watching Sheree get her fashion comeuppance again. At least that is what I hope happens.

In the previews Kandi does some crying. That is all I remember.
