He's A Stunt Queen...He Pulls Stunts For A Living...

Tonight was the season premiere of the Real Housewives of Atlanta and boy oh boy did they come out the gate SWINGING! Hands down, this was the first time that my heart raced rapidly during this hour as well as me tweeting excessively about the housewives. It's safe to say that ladies for a first episode you didn't disappoint and without further delay folks, I bring you the recap and reaction from the show.

The first 12 minutes of the show consisted of Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes trying to patch up their relationship for the umpteenth time since last season when NeNe choked Kim and the cops were called. To get the ball rolling on their relationship again, NeNe invited Kim over to see her new house and during their meeting, Kim and NeNe discussed Kim's new found bisexuality. Yes, Kim has been dating a woman and just wants her friends and fans to be as open and comfortable with her new lifestyle. After NeNe states that she is comfortable with Kim's new lifestyle, they then move on to talking about NeNe's financial independence and how that has affected her relationship with her husband Greg. Kim drops a bombshell on NeNe, one that I feel will take all season to solve, in which Kim tells NeNe that their mutual friend Dwight has been running around town telling people that Greg has borrowed $10,000 from him. From the moment that this was said, I just scratched my head because something about that statement just doesn't sound right. This mystery needs to be solved and fast.

On the other side of town, we meet a new housewife named Phaedra and she's something of a heavyweight in Atlanta being a lawyer to the stars. As we delved into her life briefly tonight, we also saw that she's a friend of NeNe, since childhood, as well ad Dwight. Now we can see where this is going. However, when Phaedra sat down to chat with Dwight at his house, the conversation took a left and we were on the subject of Sheree Whitfield's  fashion show. Dwight noted that he spent $30,000 to help boost Sheree's show and from then on, I knew Dwight had double trouble coming his way. As we'll see shortly, I was right.

There was a brief moment where NeNe and Greg actually talked about this massive $10,000 rumor and Greg had this to offer, all summarized and no exact, "Dwight and I were in a business deal together and Dwight had $500 and another $200 on top of that". So, that statement is jumbled and incoherent and still leaves me confused, o_O is more correct because how do we get $10,000 from $500? Someone seriously has to explain that to me.

Now, I was still on the explanation kick and I thought that we would finally get our answer at the shoe boutique event because Dwight, NeNe, and Sheree, as well as Kim and Phaedra would be in attendance. I guess I had some hope for confrontation etiquette from NeNe and I think I overshot my hopes a tad bit too high. From the jump NeNe was hotheaded. Dwight asked for a hug, "Don't I get a hug?" and Ms. Leakes said "No not really boo". That was the spark that set off the fuse. Voices were raised, hands were flying, and it became straight chaos. Ms. Leakes seriously needs to learn how to be cordial and how to resolve conflicts a little more eloquently than that. You're a grown woman, that behavior was high school. I do hope to some improvement from you this season my dear.

Well, there you have it...the first episode of the season. Is your heart still racing like mine? It'll go away once you settle in for bed. This is sure to be a fiery season...I can see it now.

XOXO,
Whitney
