In Case You Missed It: Real Housewives of Atlanta, Ep 8

Last night’s episode of RHOA was uneventful and rather boring. Sheree Whitfield and her “attorney” Phaedra Parks agree to part ways as client/attorney to preserve their faux on-camera relationship. The surprising part was when Phaedra reached into her desk and handed Sheree back her $5000 retainer fee. Now you know that whole scene had to be fake. As badly as Phaedra wanted that check, why didn’t she deposit it? And why would she return a retainer fee after doing the work? No one really believes Phaedra was Sheree’s attorney in the bogus case against her ex-husband, Bob Whitfield.

On the ‘Watch What Happens Live’ show afterwards, Sheree premiered her single, which is supposedly a NeNe Leakes diss record. I didn’t even listen to it.

This is also the episode where RHOA viewers got the chance to hear newcomer Marlo Hampton speak for the first time. Let’s just say it sounds like she’s had one too many male hormones shots. We still don’t know if Marlo is a permanent cast member or not. Supposedly, she only appears in 3 episodes, and last night was her 3rd appearance.

Also in this episode, Kim Zolciak takes a nostalgic stroll down memory lane with her two daughters as they leave their townhouse behind for more roomy digs at a leased mansion in the sticks. Kim hires her friend, Kendra, to “stage” the home for the cameras — which basically means to fill the house with gaudy furniture and borrowed objets d’art so the place looks lived in for the cameras. Of course the results were hideous.

It’s obvious that Kim bagged her husband, NFL player Kroy Biermann, for his Falcons income. She used his Falcons paychecks to get her furniture out of storage, and she told him that she didn’t plan on downsizing again. So he’d better not get injured. Kroy should reach out to Kim Kardashian’s ex, Kris Humphries, since they have so much in common.
