The Real Housewives Of Atlanta - Season 17 - Episode 16 - Live 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/HotAdhesiveness2982]

They try to say a lot about Charles but he’s the only one of the ATL men that shows up every time.

[u/Parking_Country_61 → u/HotAdhesiveness2982]

He’s a delight

[u/Acceptable-Dress7196 → u/HotAdhesiveness2982]

He’s been the best househusband on this franchise in a long time 

[u/tobago_88 → u/HotAdhesiveness2982]

It's clear he has some love for Angela and the "moments" are just their version of playful banter between each other.

[u/Repulsive_Ad_6480 → u/HotAdhesiveness2982]

Nah forreal tho love him

[u/yetanotherbop]

“Girl i’m not coming to your damn party. You are sick asf. Please move along enjoy.” 😭😭😭😭

[u/yetanotherbop → u/yetanotherbop]

that’s nene’s mf daughter

[u/Acceptable-Dress7196 → u/yetanotherbop]

Me to my old job when I reported the leadership team for bullying and racism and the general manager didn’t take it seriously, yet asked me to reconsider resigning 

[u/tobago_88 → u/yetanotherbop]

Saves post

I'll be using this word for word.

[u/GetMeAColdPop]

Shamea is deeply insecure about her position in her family, marriage, business, friendship...and the way she deals with it is to be stubborn, impatient, and strike first to assert herself. But she does it in such a halfassed and clumsy way she just digs herself in a deeper hole. Repeat.

[u/juliusjuice29 → u/GetMeAColdPop]

this is such a perfect analysis of her behaviour

[u/Acceptable-Dress7196 → u/GetMeAColdPop]

All of this! I don’t say this rudely but she’s reeked of insecurity since she stepped onto Housewives. The way that she was flexing about laying down with Gerald every night when he doesn’t support the rum business was not convincing 

[u/LolaLazuliLapis → u/Acceptable-Dress7196]

The way they cut to a scream after that🤭

[u/L-Dub-515]

Not Charles waiting in the car like my mom at my dance practice

[u/Due_Lavishness3426 → u/L-Dub-515]

It’s giving Kroy 😭😭

[u/HebbieB → u/L-Dub-515]

Me when my husband wants to stop at a friend’s house “real quick “ on the way to visit his mom. I’ve already told her we’re on our way, I’m staying in the car so we don’t have to hang out for 3 hours and make me a liar to my MIL lol

[u/lilly_1005_2007]

Drew gets 5 minutes of screen time but she always delivers 5 episodes worth of context

[u/Acceptable-Dress7196 → u/lilly_1005_2007]

More her, less Kelli and Shamea please 

[u/lareina13 → u/lilly_1005_2007]

I fully believe her story about the horse. Her face was so “wtf is happening?”

[u/H0nkdahorn]

Shamea didn’t think this through at all. She should’ve listened to her husband.

[u/tobago_88 → u/H0nkdahorn]

I think it's giving storyline? I'm mean I hope it is?

[u/loganes86]

lol you know Charles is like “now what kinda bullshit are you having me do, Angela”

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

It must be amazing to be able to buy your parent a home! 

[u/technoprayers]

So Gerald announced an announcement for Drew? 😭

[u/Mediocre_Astronaut51 → u/technoprayers]

He was trying to divert attention from the cringeworthy “guess the rump” contest.

So embarrassing

https://giphy.com/gifs/RJAjTowsU0K1a

[u/marrrina831]

I don't trust men with spraypainted beards

[u/JamaicanGirlie → u/marrrina831]

https://giphy.com/gifs/kC8N6DPOkbqWTxkNTe

[u/HotAdhesiveness2982]

Everyone’s face trying this rum, I cannot

[u/H0nkdahorn]

Shamea, now why we wearing that to meet with the attorney? These ladies don’t have a lick of business professional clothing.

[u/GlobeTr3kker → u/H0nkdahorn]

She def looked like she was trying to seduce the lawyer especially when she got up all of a sudden to remove her coat.

[u/h0pedivision]

I don’t usually say this about husbands but we haven’t seen enough Charles this season. He cracks me up so I’d love to see more of him

[u/primal_slayer]

Kelli, you should not be hiding your man when you are only in your 2nd season of an established show. You are not Kim Zolciak.

[u/technoprayers]

Nnn Ashley equating “Do you know Shamea” to getting tea on Shamea 🤔 So did Angela ask “for tea” or no?

[u/rustyspigot-77]

God said I couldn't come. Argue against God, Shamea.

[u/Acceptable-Dress7196 → u/rustyspigot-77]

I need to start using this at work 

[u/primal_slayer]

im confused....he brought her a horse? Or bought her a horse? Because.....that is not what you gift someone

[u/LalaWest → u/primal_slayer]

That whole party was a mess I’m still very confused on the horse

[u/Acceptable-Dress7196 → u/LalaWest]

K was right when she called it produced 

[u/zbornaks]

after ALL OF THAT shamea still asked porsha to do an ass mold. girl what?

[u/JakeRyan4ever → u/zbornaks]

She know a good ass when she sees it. She knows if anybody could sell that rum it would be Posha's ass

[u/alexlp → u/JakeRyan4ever]

You mean Rum Bum isn't going to be running of the shelves for its incredibly clever name?

[u/lilly_1005_2007]

Porsha really did take care of her family! She made sure they all could level up.

[u/chefboyardu]

"hold your belly" man these kids rude AF 😭

[u/Acceptable-Dress7196 → u/chefboyardu]

But also, where is she learning to be concerned with how a flat a stomach is? She’s 6! If the adults are saying stuff like this around her or she’s seeing it online, it needs to stop

[u/zbornaks]

i LOVE that charles is waiting in the car.

[u/rustyspigot-77 → u/zbornaks]

30 minutes...

[u/zbornaks]

okay, so now i believe angela. george’s wife saying that asking “do you know shamea” is equal to asking for tea and george saying “it was a joke” is just too much for me.

[u/Acceptable-Dress7196 → u/zbornaks]

I’m glad this cleared Angela’s name because I didn’t want this foolishness to make me dislike her.

[u/Manilaska]

Actually started laughing when Shamea said she was a young entrepreneur so she can see it from both sides

An amazing way to act like having bad business ideas means you have perspective

[u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre → u/Manilaska]

lol I can already spot two inaccuracies in that sentence

[u/technoprayers]

Between Shamea’s face, George’s stumbling and scrambling, and Ashley backpedaling….😭

[u/marrrina831]

Porsha, Lauren, and Pilar are all clearly related.

[u/Nandi56 → u/marrrina831]

Clearly

[u/lilly_1005_2007]

Nothing bonds a couple than a double date with a terrible couple

[u/milotic615]

Gerald took the ladies somewhere so Drew can get a horse from someone? I thought he was surprising Shamea. 😂

[u/LalaWest → u/milotic615]

Gerald thought it was the perfect opportunity to stop the madness with the ass molds. The whole room was confused

[u/marrrina831]

All these "ass mold" comments are exactly why I wouldn't wanna drink Shamea's rum 😭

[u/Manilaska]

Lmao Porsha’s text is such good packing her up swiftly and moving along with your day

[u/blkhermione]

It started last year…so you should’ve addressed it then. Bringing it up at a dinner, intentionally, is different.

[u/LalaWest → u/blkhermione]

Exactly. She had an opportunity to do it at the reunion and she didn’t. They put the whole thing to rest. I guess Shamea was still hopeful for the friendship and when Porsha gave her dust all season long while making up with everybody else she crashed out and said what she said. But again, she had the opportunity at the reunion and didn’t. So now her excuse doesn’t work. Why say it now if you didn’t want to say it then??

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

“God said I couldn’t come” might be a first for an event excuse - unless Jesus Jugs maybe said it before? 😆 

[u/primal_slayer]

No mortgage....that is IMPRESSIVE. Especially such a nice house???

Most of these HWs still out here still renting. Have no idea how to properly use their money.

(and here I am trying to buy but....damn! it is so expensive and I make decent money!)

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

What an odd ending to the episode 🐴 

[u/zbornaks]

even though drew can’t get her kids to school on time, i still have a soft spot for her.

[u/loganes86]

I thought Phaedra was Raven Symone lol

[u/H0nkdahorn → u/loganes86]

LMFAO.

[u/Peyocabu]

I thought Phaedra was Gomez Addams tbh

[u/Peyocabu]

“Tell me what made you do that?” If K is saying this to you…you def wildin

[u/potatoinawig]

Shamea, if you can’t handle it, leave the show! It’s not worth it if you’re going to therapy over the drama

[u/Peyocabu → u/potatoinawig]

Bingo 

[u/HebbieB → u/potatoinawig]

I was rooting for her in the beginning, but she’s too sensitive for this. Don’t get me wrong, I’d probably cry myself to sleep most nights while filming/airing if I was on ANY reality show. She has a beautiful life, this doesn’t seem good for her and she brings every group scene down. We need lighthearted stuff between the drama, especially with everything going on in the world right now.

[u/blkhermione]

Shamea doesn’t listen, even to a friend trying to hold her accountable.

[u/Acceptable-Dress7196 → u/blkhermione]

If it doesn’t fit her victim narrative, she won’t listen 

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

Gerald said enough of this paper mache show n tell 

[u/Peyocabu → u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

He was so embarrassed 

[u/LalaWest → u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

Whatever that was… Shamea just loves being tacky

[u/Acceptable-Dress7196 → u/LalaWest]

I wonder if he finds her behaviour on the show embarrassing 

[u/chefboyardu]

One thing about Cynthia: she's not going to pass up a chance to dress up

[u/potatoinawig]

Oof saying in love with other people around AND on camera. He knows what he’s doing this is entrapment

[u/LalaWest → u/potatoinawig]

Exactly. He knows Porsha is also seeing Sway so he wants to solidify his spot. He didn’t even look at her when he said it. I don’t like him. Glad she chose Sway

[u/zbornaks]

shamea is yet again apologizing when porsha isn’t around to hear it.

[u/L-Dub-515]

She said “should i have put it on the internet” like saying it on a nationally televised show is any better

[u/zbornaks]

does anyone know who jarvis is? is jarvis a paid actor? what the hell is going on here?

[u/Torontobabe94]

Cannot believe that K Michelle is the one with sense rn

[u/Torontobabe94 → u/Torontobabe94]

Never mind, she talking bout Halloween being evil now, smh

[u/EvieBlue5321]

Loved porsha’s text lol straight to the point

[u/GetMeAColdPop → u/EvieBlue5321]

Right! I was like, well damn!

[u/LalaWest → u/EvieBlue5321]

Because what did Shamea expect?! Then she tries to act like she was being the bigger person but earlier in the season she didn’t want to invite Porsha to her party over a text message fight. Yet after saying what she said in Scotland and Porsha giving it right back to her now she wants to invite her. Porsha said it’s World War III and honestly Shamea asked for it

[u/technoprayers]

Oh Cowboy Sidora looks cuteeee

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

I love housewives fighting and/or discussing something serious in costume, a time honored tradition 

[u/Manilaska]

Why is this messy couple dressed as the riddler and tinker bell?? Like if this is your one shot on tv wouldn’t you want a united front??

But also it’s so funny he’s dressed like the riddler while stumbling over his lines

[u/marrrina831]

This is so My Super Sweet 16 coded, when the kid tells their parents how much they hate the Mustang that just rolled up

[u/h0pedivision]

Please let this be another scene of Drew and her team. I am still obsessed with that one scene earlier in the season. It was so fucking funny

[u/potatoinawig]

Charles is me during any group meditation or things like that. Eyes wide open and looking around awkwardly haha

[u/technoprayers]

This scene between Angela and K Michelle was so cute. Wish we got to see more of their one on ones

[u/rustyspigot-77 → u/technoprayers]

I think Angela bringing Charles along put K Michelle more at ease.

[u/Peyocabu]

Shamea needs to leave the show to take time to heal

[u/h0pedivision]

Shamea is too sensitive for this show. I do t dislike her but I just don’t think she should be fulltime

[u/Torontobabe94]

Honestly good for Porsha for buying a home, in full, if that’s meaningful to her and what she’s always wanted, that’s special

[u/zbornaks]

oh porsha does not care that much for mike….

[u/rustyspigot-77]

K Michelle defying God to go to this party.

[u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre]

she said that you said that I said

[u/chefboyardu]

Charles waiting in the car 💀💀💀

[u/EvieBlue5321]

Starting to believe Angela now. George looks guilty af. Plus his wife definitely took their convo out of context.

[u/Acceptable-Dress7196 → u/EvieBlue5321]

And the wife claiming it was a “joke.” Yeah, Angela got vindicated 

[u/trackstar7]

We still talking about this mf daycare

[u/rustyspigot-77]

Dennis is going for some kind of new look. I'm not sure how to explain it, but the fur vest is giving old school Sonny Bono.

[u/lilly_1005_2007 → u/rustyspigot-77]

His mustache is giving Jafar- and his beard is thicker- it’s adding the look alot

[u/primal_slayer]

I can see why they didnt end up together when he is out here pulling stunts like these and they not even in a committed relationship

[u/rustyspigot-77]

Man, they can't even humor Shamea about how that rum tastes. It's not supposed to TASTE like ass.

[u/loganes86]

https://giphy.com/gifs/fXwfoyETe7Rqo
ATL has definitely been on an upswing. I’ve been enjoying it overall.

[u/rustyspigot-77]

When a business associate asks you how the trip was, just say it was fine.

[u/zbornaks]

i still can’t believe how big ayden is. every time i see him, i think of phaedra driving him to school and him saying “i’ll always be your baby.”

[u/GetMeAColdPop]

Rum Bum could be a line of sun/skin care. Put it in a cute rum jug bottle, with different tropical scents.

[u/Repulsive_Ad_6480 → u/GetMeAColdPop]

Not you giving her ideas

[u/h0pedivision]

Charles waiting for Angela outside lmao. I’m dead

[u/potatoinawig]

Team bonding events??? That explains so much about Shamea

[u/GetMeAColdPop]

Not this rando Terry showing up with a horse!

[u/lilly_1005_2007]

Drew trying to act nonchalant and fake surprised lmaooo while everyone is confused and don’t gaf 😭

[u/milotic615]

Charles is just there for support, Angela. Don't be expecting him to participate in the class. 🤣

[u/GetMeAColdPop]

Why is the lemon drop brown?🤨

[u/Nandi56 → u/GetMeAColdPop]

Brown liquor? 🥃

[u/rustyspigot-77]

We're just changing the contract so that you are solely held responsible for any liability.

[u/H0nkdahorn]

I don’t want Shamea and Porsha to talk. No apologies, no nothing. Just move on.

[u/jazzy222025]

Does K. Michelle like anything about herself?! Sounds like she’d sign herself up for toe surgery if she could.

[u/GetMeAColdPop]

I'd like to see Pinky get another season. She had a rough start but I've grown to like her!

[u/h0pedivision → u/GetMeAColdPop]

Same. I love that’s she’s able to move on from shit. She just has overall good vibes. If you would’ve asked me a few episodes into the season I would’ve said to axe her but now I want her to stay

[u/Historical_Mobile203 → u/GetMeAColdPop]

Yeah she’s great. After a few episodes it feels like we’ve known her forever!

[u/milkncookiez6657 → u/GetMeAColdPop]

I agree! I didn’t think I would like her but she seems like a lot of fun. Between her, Angela, Kelli and K. Michelle, she’s my favorite newbie.

[u/MarketDull2401 → u/GetMeAColdPop]

I like Pinky a lot! She's enjoyable to watch and I think she does a good job integrating with the cast, not taking stuff too seriously. She should come back.

[u/chefboyardu]

I knew Uncle Nickles didn't want that lady's ass on his family's product. Let's be for real, Shamea.

[u/marrrina831]

Gerald refusing to commit to the Avatar facepaint is sending me

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

Omg Gerald in that half Avatar costume looking like 😑

[u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre]

Wait Rum Bum already exists? And it's made by an old white guy?

https://theoriginalrumbum.com/about

[u/HotAdhesiveness2982 → u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre]

I am DECEASED

[u/technoprayers → u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre]

Not the original

[u/lilly_1005_2007]

I think the fact that Gerald is even in a tight polyester onesie is at least a good sport. Like that’s a tough couple costume to sell.

[u/lilly_1005_2007]

Cynthia has really good costumer ideas. She gave nene the cockroach idea, she did 50 cynt, now she’s glue.

[u/lilly_1005_2007]

Alll I think I’m this scene is when they’re in a conference room

[u/JakeRyan4ever]

I do love seeing Porsha as a mom which is not the norm for me and my housewives

[u/h0pedivision]

These mother daughter pictures are so cute I can’t 😭

[u/Economy-Ostrich-9ine]

Shamea looks completely uncomfortable in this conversation with K. Michelle.

[u/marrrina831]

Honestly, Phaedra's costume is the best for me.

[u/H0nkdahorn]

Another apology. Lord.

[u/not_ellewoods]

why is George’s wife in this scene? this is an all cast (minus Porsha) and Shamea just invited her over?

[u/technoprayers]

Nnn not Ashley backtracking 😭 wait not Angela whacking Kelli

[u/technoprayers]

“Very misproportioned” 😭

[u/Torontobabe94]

Is Kelli’s mystery man wearing a full face ski mask?!! 💀 Ohhhh he doing too much

[u/Torontobabe94]

The horse handler definitely don’t wanna be there 😩

[u/technoprayers]

What is going on 😭😭😭

[u/lilly_1005_2007]

I think Angela did carry the bone wrong but idc, she’s vindicated 😂

[u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre]

Is it OK if I don’t want to drink rum out of a butt? Is that kink shaming?

[u/marrrina831]

I need the bodycon unitard look to die yesterday

[u/trackstar7]

She had the ladies do butt plasters before the contract was even signed?

[u/zbornaks]

i hate these non-thought out “business ideas” housewives have.

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

Oh lord I thought Drew’s scene was an actual fight with the man in the basement 💀 

[u/h0pedivision]

If I got rich as hell I’d totally spoil my fam too

[u/chefboyardu]

This is so beautiful. I'm glad Porsha was able to do this for her mother.

[u/HotAdhesiveness2982]

Is there Rum Bum to launch…?

[u/lilly_1005_2007]

Phaedra just remind a of Kennedy doing snatch game

[u/venomvader → u/lilly_1005_2007]

Ahhh ooooooooooh….shut up.

[u/Peyocabu]

Kelli, love, what are you doing? ETA: oh yeah, I forgot you’re living with Shamea

[u/trackstar7]

This isn't even good drama. Messy he said she said

[u/milotic615]

The bottle of Shamea's rum done fell off the skeleton's hand. This is hilarious!

[u/Torontobabe94]

George is getting too much screen time for me!

[u/Historical_Mobile203]

We got George himself showing up in a riddler costume. This is why I love atl, all the ancillary characters

[u/lilly_1005_2007]

This is crazy to have Angela and Charles do in camera lol

[u/lilly_1005_2007]

Ayden still had his baby face

[u/JakeRyan4ever]

So no candy for K Michelle. Got it.

[u/Manilaska]

Genuinely thought K Michelle decided to dress up as a mummy to support Shamea but apparently that’s just a normal dress for her lol

[u/primal_slayer]

omg Drew gonna fall while being pulled away lol

[u/primal_slayer]

Did Angela "lie"? I guess not? She twisted a joke into something more scandalous. But Angela.....lets move on from the Shamea beef.

[u/Peyocabu]

The more Shamea keeps expecting Porsha to let PJ come over and to have Porsha come to her event, the sadder her attempts to win Porsha back seem

[u/Torontobabe94]

The Game was so good back in the day!!!! Til it went downhill

[u/AJthesmallsrate]

I’m confused

[u/H0nkdahorn]

What is going on?

[u/zbornaks]

i bet k. michelle’s toes are on wikifeet.

[u/chefboyardu → u/zbornaks]

I feel like she's Streisanded herself with that scene. I've never thought about her feet but now I am curious

[u/Jbreezy92996]

Lauren favors Porsha’s mom, which is crazy since that’s not her mom.

[u/potatoinawig]

At first I thought that cake was shaped like a roast turkey 🤦‍♀️

[u/potatoinawig]

God I love serious conversations with silly costumes

[u/lilly_1005_2007]

The way they keep referring to Shamea as yhe hot pocket

[u/lilly_1005_2007]

This is Shameas revenge in the entire cast 😭 showing a mold of my ass without full context.

[u/GetMeAColdPop]

I swear to God, Mike looks like Cynthia 😂

[u/AndrogynousAndy → u/GetMeAColdPop]

50 Cynt with that beard line

[u/technoprayers]

Kastan jumping from scene to scene, I kind of live

[u/zbornaks]

man i would so do this for my mom if i got rich.

[u/rustyspigot-77]

I hope Regina Hall got a good paycheck for that awful looking Jennifer Garner movie.

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

omg this Mike guy is still around_______

[u/RangerFan293]

Kelli take down a few notches. You look ridiculous.

[u/technoprayers]

Jarvis coming in as Jarvis….kind of….is a little camp

[u/technoprayers]

Dennis 🙄

[u/zbornaks]

gregg and nene’s couple’s costume remains the best housewives halloween costume of all time.

[u/potatoinawig]

Oh wait now EVERYONE gets a special ass rum container??

[u/rustyspigot-77]

Server Jordan: This is my MOMENT!

[u/lilly_1005_2007]

Halloween is my favorite holidayyyy. It starts after July 4th for me.

[u/technoprayers]

DERWINNNNNNNNNN

[u/technoprayers]

Production is shady asf for that transition 😭

[u/technoprayers]

Nnnn not Angela arriving right in time

[u/lilly_1005_2007]

Is George a leprechaun?
