FRIENDS, that is! I was late getting into the Housewives of Atlanta but was able to catch up over the weekend. Then (of course), I made sure to watch the reunion show last night. I don't know about the rest of you honeys, but I couldn't help wishing that the five of them would just toss their troubles to the wind and be friends! I reaaaaally want Nene and Sheree to be cool, and I want Kim and Nene to be close again. I don't know- maybe it's just me and I always just want everyone to get along.Now, I'm only 28 and I think carrying all that tension is just too much work! Not speaking to someone when you're in their presence, ignoring their presence totally, avoiding certain places/functions where the "opponent" might be, the plethora of politics involved with a third party- It is MUCH too much. I'm a person who is very non-confrontational; I don't like drama (only if it's on TV, or if it doesn't involve me, hehehe- bad habit, I know, I know!). I have six very close girlfriends (check our site out at suiteoctober.com), and sometimes we don't always see eye to eye. No one is perfect (surely not me!) and I always ask that if I may have done something to offend anyone that they bring it to me and tell me about myself. Most times, I can see where I was wrong and work on correcting that.
Nevertheless, although "Housewives..." was purely a reality show on a cable television station, it did serve a purpose. How silly do we look for holding grudges? The world is in trouble; sickness, poverty, destruction, etc... Is it that necessary for someone to hold such ill feelings towards another un-perfect individual over some "he said, she said, guess who did what" nonsense?
*If you happen to be in the middle of some really nonsensical bull-CRAP, I beg you to pleeeeeease pick up the phone, write an email, send a text (whatever it is that you do) and reach out- don't go into the holidays and the new year with discontentment in your heart.

that show is pure drama...the sad thing about it is that they're actually friends, not just some random ppl they threw together for a reality tv show...i absolutely hate drama and i've always told my close group of friends that if there is an issue, i believe in talking it out immediately so you don't have to go through the akwardness, cold shoulders, and all that
Ditto on this post Wes...I watched the show every week waiting to see when they would finally make up and move on from the sillyness but they didn't and the reunion was not any better. I mean I LOVED the drama b/c most of it was amusing to me but this is a reality show not a fictional one...I think the things they are mad at are too small to not talk it over but also how some of them reacted to certain things was probably not the best approach...hopefully we will see a Season 2 and maybe they'll get back together :)
Reality? Yeah, right! These ladies were put together for the express purpose of seeing drama. Sheree and NeNe were placed in the positions they were placed in so that the sparks would fly, and unfortunately, they fell for the okie doke. There will be a season 2 and hopefully Kim will grow up (although she looks older than 30, she certainly acted like a child most of the show, attaching herself to someone who would stroke her ego).
I totally lover your post Wes, I stayed watching the reunion, and even craved for more... The drama on this show was a just a bit too much, however it kept us watching. I did hope they would be friends, but like the saying goes with friends like that who needs enemies. There are just certain people who come into our lives that we can do without, and I kind of feel like NeNe, to be phony and speak to someone and knowing deep down that I don't like them, would make me look and feel fake! I wish they would've buried the hatchett, be cool again and move on, but most women(and men) are too proud for that and these women are at the plateau of their lives and careers, they did not need the next one for anything, let alone a friendship.
In life, I have learned that people come into my life for a reason, season or time...Some stay, some stray, but the test is who really has your best interest at heart. Many of our "friends" don't want the best for us. I have lost one or two friends this year, but gained many more.
In my opinion, all the money and fabulosity the HOUSEWIVES have, they are not even considering rekindling a friendship with one another.
I missed this, but I don't know if they really liked each other to begin with.
I have a feeling that there was extra drama for the sake of the cameras. I was glad to hear that they all were doing something positive with their lives.
I love this show, the reunion was better than expected. However, Lisa kind of surprised me last night. She got really defensive and it made me feel like something was up. Other than that, I love me some NENE! Her answer to that stripper question was classic.
Great advice about airing your grievances. No need to hold on to the past.
Housewives of Atlanta, such a fabulous show. Unlike you I was hoping Lisa or Nene "whoop that trick" (Kim), for my own selfish purposes, it would have made for great TV.
if they are going to decide to be friends they do need to hang up the grievances and talk it out... talk it out lol
i like to bury the hatchett, but after trying so many times, i throw my hands up.. but jay summed it up for me: "There are just certain people who come into our lives that we can do without"
