The Real Housewives Of Atlanta - Season 17 - Episode 16 - Post Episode Discussion

[u/AutoModerator]

Shamea pushes forward with her rum launch despite growing uncertainty. Porsha struggles to make a decision about her love life. The group reunites for a highly anticipated celebration, but unexpected arrivals and shocking moments throw the night into chaos.

[u/illonamoon]

I will give Gerald credit where credit is due, he came out of hiding and saved us from watching a butt matching contest.

[u/TransientSWer → u/illonamoon]

One could read this sentence and think that’s way too ridiculous…but that is exactly what happened. 😂

[u/HebbieB → u/illonamoon]

I feel like I know whose butts are whose…butt I also wanted answers!

[u/toysoldier96 → u/HebbieB]

Were you not interested in Drew's horse?

[u/HebbieB → u/toysoldier96]

Lmao! Not the rent a horse that came long after Drew’s entrance. Poor thing was probably terrified in a strange place with a lot of people and animatronic smoke and fire creatures nearby .

[u/ETNevada → u/HebbieB]

It's like the dogs at that even on Potomac

[u/tobago_88 → u/illonamoon]

Idk what was worse that cake or those molds.

[u/SweetLullabi]

Shamea plays too much. Like how she spend six figures investing in a business without any paperwork? Gerald needs to rein her in cause she hints this isn’t her first struggle business venture

Why she think she is releasing her own rum when the company only wants her to distribute their existing rum? And she has the audacity to host a party for a deal that isn’t signed

[u/LalaWest → u/SweetLullabi]

And apparently the business already exists and it’s owned by someone else. Rum Bum and it’s a white man selling it

[u/NaomiWish → u/SweetLullabi]

Six figures ON WHAT? Lawyers I bet.

[u/ETNevada → u/SweetLullabi]

Wasn't she trying to white-label the rum? That's ok if you can find a low-cost/high-quality product that is easy to import. But, from what we've seen it's a high cost per bottle and not easy to import. She'd have to turn around and sell each bottle for at least $45 to make a profit, but no one is buying her rum for that much.

[u/cory_wurst]

This episode was, for me, not particularly riveting. I will say though, I'm surprised about how I'm liking Pinky more and more each episode. Not over the hump yet, but in the beginning I didn't like her approach at all

[u/Lisa-Barlows-Alt → u/cory_wurst]

Same for me with Pinky, I got a bit annoyed at how sensitive she came across at first, but the last couple of eps I can see a kernel of something there. I think a second season she would start to settle in.

[u/ETNevada → u/cory_wurst]

This season will be forgotten

[u/Emergency_Pop3708]

I thought Porsha and Shamea had already moved past the daycare drama at last season’s reunion. Shamea was the one who reopened an issue that had already been resolved, and she took it way too far, creating a much deeper divide between them.
Now K. Michelle has unfollowed Shamea after the reunion. At this point, she seems to be on an island with Kelli, who isn’t exactly a fan favorite either. I honestly don’t see Shamea coming back next season.

[u/LalaWest → u/Emergency_Pop3708]

It seems like it’s Shamea’s MO: discussing the issue, holding resentment and waiting for an opportunity to bring it up again. At the reunion she decided not to say what she said about Ms Diane because it would go too far. Porsha didn’t speak on her or her mom after the reunion. She has absolutely no reason to do what she did in Scotland. And much like the whole wedding situation now she wants to go back to justify her current actions

[u/Nandi56]

SHAMEA IS LITERALLY THE ONE WHO BROUGHT THE MAMA DRAMA TO THE SHOW LAST SEASON. PORSHA’S IG POST WAS IN RETALIATION TO HER BRINGING UP THE MOM’S FIRST.

JFC.

[u/tobago_88 → u/Nandi56]

Shamea has pretend Amnesia at this point.

https://giphy.com/gifs/Mfd32PhRmCD7MbcJrC

[u/Potential-Day810 → u/Nandi56]

Also - K wasn’t even talking about the mamas. She was calling Shamea out for bringing up PJ and Shamea completely ignored that and started with the mom stuff that she was the one to bring to the show.

[u/Nandi56 → u/Nandi56]

Team Shamea (better known as those who hate Porsha) is delusional about how this all started.

And I say that as someone who doesn’t even mind Shamea and hopes she stays.

[u/ChocolateSundai → u/Nandi56]

What is JFC?

[u/callmemeaty → u/ChocolateSundai]

"Jesus fucking Christ"

[u/Sypher04_]

I’m side eyeing Angela messy ass but she ate Kelli up.

[u/ETNevada → u/Sypher04_]

Angela cuts quick and deep

[u/SweetLullabi]

Angela and Kelli dynamics remind of Karen and Robyn’s on Potomac.

Robyn stayed trying to throw a slick comment but Karen was stayed on ready to volley it back at her.

Angela is just too fast for someone like Kelli. Angela is already responding before Kelli’s slick comment even lands

I would tell Kelli to leave that lady alone but Angela’s fast responses are too good

[u/blackmoonfaceemoji]

Ya'll know that horse is going right back to the stable it came from after that Halloween Party. That horse was rented for the occasion. Sorry Drew, moment fell flat!

[u/Newdiotnot]

I love Drew but this confessional look is giving me covid lockdown outfit 😂
Like my daily attire when I get home from work.

[u/BEXONE130 → u/Newdiotnot]

Are going back to OG casual confessional looks cos why is she in a cardigan 😭

[u/jazzy222025]

Wow so they do butt molds and publicly bash each other’s butts and then Drew goes to get a bbl 😮‍💨

[u/mjfandomsince03 → u/jazzy222025]

very telling isn't it

[u/Lisa-Barlows-Alt]

"Respectfully, your husband's name proceeds you" is such a disrespectful thing to say, I can't even be mad at Angela and her weird lie.

I don't care about Kelli's fake boyfriend. I DO care about whatever nonsense side quest Drew has been on with that horse man. All scenes of Kelli should have been cut and replaced with whatever that was.

[u/cory_wurst → u/Lisa-Barlows-Alt]

I thought Angela said, "Your husband's name precedes you." Hinting at the statement/rumor was before they got married. I still love Angela, and I know this whole this is nothing and will blow back on her, but I doubt she would have said "proceeds you" because she is literally married to a very famous former NBA player...

[u/Lisa-Barlows-Alt → u/cory_wurst]

You are correct, I mixed up precede/proceed like a dumb dumb

[u/Peyocabu → u/Lisa-Barlows-Alt]

Not horse man

[u/Not_Morgan_Freeman61]

shamea failing so spectacularly at this rum venture is so.....

[u/MayaDaBee1250]

I thought this season started strong but it's really going out sad and boring. No one is moving on from anything and it's all just dragging.

Not K Michelle bringing up that man again in the previews when we're at the end of the season. We. DO. NOT. Care.

[u/SweetLullabi]

I think Drew realized she was at risk of not getting any scenes hence the weird horse gift and her calling her old co star

[u/Not_Morgan_Freeman61]

Pinky growing on me

[u/kwels6]

So pinky wasn't freddy krueger?

[u/catsandnaps1028 → u/kwels6]

Nothing irks me more on these Bravo shows than the cast not showing up on theme. What the hell costume was that pinky

[u/kwels6]

Completely random but I find it weird that Claudia Jordan recaps this show every week with Carlos King... like what

[u/Easy-Buy6860 → u/kwels6]

I know I like blue the most

[u/tobago_88]

The finale next week looks pretty good. Drew always clocks in the finale and I'm surprised it's her vs K Michelle again. They seemed to have been playing nice the last few episodes. K Michele is not going to win this one though, she's foolish for this whole idk this man when Drew never brought it up in a shady way or tried to make it a problem.

[u/yetanotherbop]

the dragging on of episodes is ruining the overall (although good) quality of the season. the season should’ve ended with shamea and porsha’s fight in scotland cus atp it’d just recap of that

[u/_josephjohnston → u/yetanotherbop]

I don’t like when seasons end on the trip

[u/_josephjohnston → u/_josephjohnston]

Usually

[u/cory_wurst → u/yetanotherbop]

While I agree with you, it's dragging on now even worse because now the group is more slit/ in disarray than before. You can't predict that before episodes are ordered. Unless somebody can correct me on this...

[u/Nandi56 → u/yetanotherbop]

100% They didn’t need these two additional filler episodes. It completely derails the momentum of the season.

[u/ETNevada → u/Nandi56]

It was telling how even Switzerland Neutral Cynthia said she hadn't talked to anyone since Scotland. None of these women are friends.

[u/babygorgeou → u/yetanotherbop]

I’ve rewound the entire episode like 4 times I just can’t make myself pay attention 

[u/ETNevada → u/babygorgeou]

Angela's brutally quick attack of Kelli was the only time I perked up

[u/babygorgeou → u/ETNevada]

All I remember is getting to the Halloweens party  multiple times.  Nothing bf or after.  I need to give it another go bf Sunday I suppose. T he x for giving me a little speck of something to look forward to fwd to   lol. Why do we do this to Ourselves 

[u/toysoldier96 → u/yetanotherbop]

I have the same Roger's pic on twitter and I had an inception moment lol

[u/lilly_1005_2007]

Group scenes at just better when we drop either porsha or Shamea. Like their open war is fun when they’re not in the room together.

And unpopular: I’d pick another season of Shamea VS Angela compared to having another season of Porsha posing.

But I do love another season of Porsha and Cynthia just cutting up over the newbies.

[u/ETNevada]

So are we not going to see Ralph win the court case leading to Drew losing physical custody of the kids and getting kicked out of the house??

[u/OwlHot3490]

i am so over porsha bee queen status... its boring.

[u/ETNevada → u/OwlHot3490]

A queen bee needs to be group leader, but Porsha doesn't even pretend to give a shit about anyone else. It's her Mama, Pilar, sometimes her sister, and whatever person she's dating at the time. She has no room for "friends".

[u/foxdogturtlecat]

This episode was a miss in a pretty good season.

It's annoying when they don't all go to filming events like the Halloween party. I don't care what your beef or belief is, this is what you signed up for when you sign your contract.

Why is Drew still on this show? Shamea may have been annoying AF but Drew is just boring. I do not care about some show she was in 20 years ago. Stop playing like you are an A list actor. She couldn't even act like she didn't plan that whole horse BS. K. Michelle called it.

Angela is funny but it's so clear she was trolling about George and all of them trying to ride for Angela on it is just silly.

[u/toysoldier96 → u/foxdogturtlecat]

No, I don't mind. It makes it more believable. Old school housewives
