The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

......everything I can think of saying may offend some. But, they are definitely a little too "real".

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Yea I don't like new cast either.I just want the new season of the O.C one to start.

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Oh come on say it say it....SAY IT!!!! Pleasseeee

They are so guess the _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 letter word or 5 letter word _ _ _ _ _

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

They are so "Tacky"!

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Nahhh I was going a little deeper....But that was good!!! I'm afraid I won't say it either because somethings are better not said!! Lets go with TACKY!!

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

OMG... I am sure it goes much deeper than TACKY!! I was kind of excited to see wealthy African Americans , but I am super mad at the previews for the season. Why o why o why people???? Just why? Like, really let's act like this is going to be on tv and not be so.... "real" or that 6 letter word Tish1127 was referring to.

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

We've got to do better! I understand the whole being a strong female and being a DIVA, but true Diva status requires u to be a lady at all times and to let the attention and come to you and not you draw unhealthy attention to urself. Again, Tacky, Just because ur from the "GHETTO" does not mean u have to be of the "GHETTO". There is no excuse for this unlady like behaviour!

Of course that's not to say I won't be watching, which means I'm adding to the problem but hey, that's entertainment, clownery and bafoonery for you!

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

I live in Athens, Georgia, and I'm honestly ashamed to have them representing Georgia. They seem loud, rude, inconsiderate, and superficial.
None of the women from the Real Housewives shows are women I aspire to be (I'm sixteen), but the Atlanta women seem to be the worst to me. With each spin off it's gotten worse. =(

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Now thats a *real* 6 letter word !!!

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

let me throw my 2cents into the pile. these refined hoodrats are the definition of golddigger, ghetto broads. i saw the preview over a month ago at 1 am on Bravo and have never been so disgusted in my damn life (no wait, i have-insert R. Kelly here). First off, the wife of Eric Snow-chile sit down! You ain't nobody and your husband is a free throw away, ok. now I do not knock anyone's hustle but please. when you think you are better than everyone else cause you live in a big house you lose my vote. and homegirl that is divorced from the pro-ball player with all the assistants-what do you do to need all those assistants. you need your cousin to book your nail appointments, or grocery shop for you? what do you do, who are you and why are you here? bravo should be 'shamed but hey golddiggers come in all shapes, sizes and colors. the one ray of sunshine is the realtor who is married to the injured ball player-at least she makes her own money-compared to the other four she lookin' like claire huxtable.

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

HEY BENZI ! I totally agree, when Mrs. SNow said, " I always knew I would be somebody", I was like ok who r u? I mean really what have u done to warrant that comment? Can u at least represent some Charitable Foundations or something, all she did was use his money to decorate a huge house.

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Wow! I haven't seen this yet... I saw a commercial for it the other day but didn't pay it any attention... And since I'm born and raised and currently in the "A" I'm gone have to check it out so I can put my 2 cent in too...

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

I personally didn't see hoodrats and golddiggers. The main difference here from the previous seasons is the full cast except for one is black. So yes the cast is more "real", more "out there". I like the liveliness and drama they contribute to the show. But there is one woman that seems to be on the crazy side, cant remember her name though (the one with two sons showing off her big diamond ring and how she's been married for ten years).

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

I saw gold-digger especially when all you are doing is talking about your divorce and how your main focus is making sure you get AT LEAST millionS at the end because there is no way you could live even slightly below the standards you are now living at due to your husband's success. I'm pretty sure you were not living this large prior to him marrying you and sure half the reason he is leaving you is because of your overly extravagent spending habits off the sweat of his back. She did nothing charitable...Her entire days consist of shopping, makeup artist, personal assistants, chefs, custom dress designers etc...while she does ???WHAT??? She will not even make a phone call...Ms Holyfield has to dial the numbers and talk for her. Get the F* Out...If that is not a gold-digger /upscaled hoodrat what is? Lets call it like it is. Now the show that I found quite refreshing was Dion Sanders..His wife was so down to earth..she took care of her kids, cooked, helped her kids sell candy...etc... I would just like to see African American families portrayed in a more realistic setting..I am sure and willing to bet...1/2 of her act is for TV and she does not normally live this large or surely she would be super broke by now.

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

I've seen this and it did seem like a lot of them were just doing nothing except thinking about money, spending money, talking about about how they are going to spend their money. But that's how ALL of the housewife shows are. I really like the lady who is married to the baller but she has her own business and stuff, that's a great woman right there. But the rest of them are very run of the mill.

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

I agree TISH, I found Kim to be fake and obnoxious. NeNe was loud and outrageous. Sheree was too extra grown to be asking for a Louis Vuitton cake in the shape of her LV bag, seriously how old are u again? I felt like I was watching My Super Sweetsixteen. If u notice she never revealed her age, clearly she's not as secure in herself as she would want us all to believe. Ok what was up with Mrs. Snow and the Estate Man. unpacking for her relatives. Thats ur Dad, he was here long before ur husbands piece of change, I seriously doubt that he needs u or some stranger going through his belongings. If u don't work why are u wasting money on random stuff? Her husband was not impressed, "This is not a nightclub, its a house".Why can't she tend to her own house, I don't understand. Its not just regular folks that are losing in the economy, its new money and old money that's going belly up. I think the only one with a little class was the one who owns her own mortgage company. She seems to have a good grip on reality. If you notice she was the only one who didn't feel the need to distract attention from the Birthday girl with her outfit, SHe wore a cute top and jeans. No makeup and hair people came through and she still was fly!
Again, I know they do this because they can, but I truly hope this isn't the image that they really want to portray. I don't knock anyone who has acheived wealth and success but most of these women haven't acheived anything but snagging a baller and sugar daddy, but you know I'll be watching and thanking the LAWD my parents raised me to have class and not be an a%&!

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

You need money to survive...Maybe I watched a different show...I did not see one episode where money was used for survival purposes, only for show-boating and trying to make sure they had the best or a better purse, etc than the next rich person. God forbid anyone else is carrying the same handbag that I am. I would probably love to have the amount of money they have...But I would never wish for the lifestyle they are living. I am more than sure I could live well and still be able to contribute something that says I am a decent person.

These were 35+ year old women and mothers...Acting like Paris Hilton..who I admit does do charitable things with her money!

One thing money can't buy is that ticket to heaven...

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Ok, yes, I'm pretty sure we would all love to have the money that these women do. I know I would absolutely love it, lol. But the problem is what they do with it. Like previously mentioned, usually their only concern is how fly can I look and how can I let other people know how fly I am?

Granted, this isn't very different from the other housewives shows, but since it is a predominately black cast, I hate to say it, it has different implications. The problem is that generally African Americans view things like this and, like you said, aspire to be like them, only they want to do it right NOW. They take this glamorized view presented to them and extract the wrong values. Like, being a baller and "stuntin" w/ your money is all that matters. Can you make some investments? Can you make your money work for you? Can you wait till you make enough money to actually afford these items? I've seen it in so many of my peers who are now seriously in debt, have bad credit, etc all b/c they wanted to live and look like "new money". And this worst part, is thanks to images like this, they don't realize what they are doing and keep perpetuating the cycle.

I just get frustrated b/c we rarely have examples of Africans Americans who are financially savvy. Like really, if Sheree was smart, she would have taken some of that money she spent on shopping and had her own investments and bank accounts on backup for emergencies...which would include dissolving your marriage. So that YOU can maintain the lifestyle you've grown accustomed to. We need better examples so that people can understand what their options actually are. If then, you still choose to live like the housewives, then by all means, do you.

O, and I like that Deon Sanders show too along w/ Run's house. I feel like these shows are better examples.

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Ditto on Run's House...Love that show too!!

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

I really liked O.C., I thought New York was SUPER boring and I tried to watch Atlanta but I saw a few clips with the one white lady and she grossed me out,lol. So I haven't tried to watch it again...I kinda thought it would be more like Kimora:life in the fab lane....but umm, judging from everyone's reactions to it, I don't think it will be.

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Ok I must say as a educated black female I was hoping and praying
they didn't embarass us but oh well!!! Sheree should be ashamed of herself.
She knows she left NeNe off the list on purpose. I know NeNe was mad but I would have preferred that she handle it a little better. If she was going to curse someone out it needed to be Shree not the assistant. Oh and please do it in private. Why the hell does she need and assistant any way? Her entourage that heffa is crazy! Oh and Mrs. Snow you should be able to cook your own dinner and take care of your own kids. Don't you know your husbands career could be over at any minute and you continue to spend money like you have no sense. A maid, governess, nanny, chef and an assistant. You don't do anything! Oh and poor Kim. Girl get a job. Big poppa will be gone as soon as he finds some new A_ _.
Despite my feelings on the current cast they are no more superficial then previous cast. They just happen to be black.

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Let me add too...I never watched the previous versions of Housewives so I am not justifying the behavior of the previous cast...I have no knowledge of how they acted. If it was anything like this..I would have at least had a heads up and been prepared for this foolishness.

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

i saw the commercial and i was goin to watch it but i forgot to! i was a fan of the O.C. season. when does the re-run come on? i want to see it too...

for Tish, i also enjoyed the show of the "Sanders". They did what a normal family do!

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

The difference between this cast and the previous casts are that the previous cast worked! All the women on The OC had careers, hell most of them made more than their husbands. They showed their wealth but they showed alot of family issues, like death, teaching their kids to work, divorce and starting over. I guess we have to give Atlanta Housewives the chance to show another side of themselves but for right now this is not the biz, entertaining yes, but not a good "reality".

Re: The Real Housewives of Atlanta

im from atlanta, born and raised, so i can't wait to watch this season even if the women embarrass my city.
