“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” reunion, part two, proved that Bravo did not need a part two.
The fundamental problem is last year’s reunion was such a blockbuster, there was virtually no chance they’d be able to match or exceed it. And they didn’t. The women were downright staid, attempting to be dignified. If we wanted dignified, we’d watch “Masterpiece Theatre.”
The first hour last week did have a few revelations. The second? Not much. One: Kim Zolciak stayed in tune during the chorus of "Tardy for the Party" but struggled with the verses when she attempted the song live. And she had no particular rhythm on stage. She also denied being a stripper. Rather, she said she was a waitress at the Cheetah and got good tips. (True? Not true? Who knows?)
I did enjoy the pursed lips and sour looks on the faces of NeNe Leakes and Lisa Wu Hartwell while Kim sang. Then they proceeded through gritted teeth to say it was fun and had a good beat. That's like Paula Abdul saying the lousy singer looked pretty.
And Dwight Eubanks showed up and Kim slipped out that he had a penile implant. Dwight was not ashamed. 'Nuf said there.
Lisa did get into a testy exchange with Dwight, believing he was not classy critiquing her fashion show right after the show (which she believed wasn’t exactly a fashion show because it included music and other elements. Semantics!). He was not apologetic. She compared it to her going to his salon and insulting his work there. Then she compared him answering NeNe’s question about Lisa’s show as if he were asked to jump off a cliff, would he do it? Not exactly a fair comparison.
And will Kim ever take off that wig and show us her real hair?
Oh, Sheree Whitfield was there, too, but was a virtual nonpresence this hour. I emailed her earlier today asking what she thought of Bob's comments about her on that Internet radio show (that he had created a Frankenstein.) She has not responded.
