It all seemed like a bunch of backhanded compliments to me, because there was an obvious undertone in all of them. Tania was the most overtly rude, but I feel like she was responding to the subversive jabs the other women were taking (i.e. Nene telling her to eat and sandwich or the fakery of Lisa first saying that she liked her hair then dissing it for being a quarter-inch short). Cattiness all 'round, chicas, all 'round.
I wonder if Dwight will get his own spin off show. He's quite a trip although i didn't like him inspecting Kandi from head to toe and touching her, i mean how rude!
@Eric Northman is mine: Yeah that's okay when you know the women and they are comfortable with your antics. But I think some gay men (although dwight says he isnt) with women and treat them more like life sized barbies than actual human beings. Kandi was obviously not comfortable with how he was acting but guess that goes with the real housewives territory. I didn't like it though.
Also, in regards to The Wig: Kim said the reason she needs it is because she had cancer, yeah? It's been at least a year since she had it, probably longer since she didn't seem to be dealing with it during the first season, so shouldn't her real hair have grown out long enough to not need a wig by now? (I actually think the cancer thing was a lie, but even giving her the benefit of the doubt, she really doesn't have an excuse anymore.)
@Blueberry26: Kim didn't actually have cancer. She basically said that a doctor friend of hers diagnosed her based upon a conversation they had regarding her symptoms. For some reason she decided to wait for her actual test results in a Chili's (I'm not kidding) and she found out she didn't have cancer after all. This information had to be pried out of her by Andy Cohen, by the way. Mazel, Andy.
Oh hair issues in the Black community. I am almost positive that woman thought Lisa was being passive aggressive when complimenting her hair and THAT'S why she insulted her the way she did. I've had it happen to me before (my hair was once the same length as Lisa's and some deeply insecure black women would go out of their way to make statements about whether or not my hair was real or that I should cut it because there was too much of it). And even though I know the woman is probs insecure, she's old enough to be confident enough in who she is to let that high school shit die.
AND KIM! Baby girl, you spent $6000 on fat melting but you can't do the same for your weave? No one is saying you can't wear a wig, YOU JUST NEED TO GET A CONVINCING ONE. That's like the hair of a hundred scalped Barbies attached to your head about 3 quarters forward. Also? It doesn't match your real hair (the bangs).
And NeNe is not fat at all. She has ass and boobs, but her tummy is flat.
@quatrevingtquatre: LMAO, i just touched on Kim's wig downthread but yeah for someone who claims to spend tons of money on designers and beauty treatments surely she can afford a decent wig. Hello, human hair! The problem isn't that she wears a wig, it's that a supposedly 'rich' person draped in designer outfits and jewelry is sporting a cheap, tacky, synthetic wig.
That woman was obnoxious and Sheree knew it, she just didn't want a scene. I thought Lisa and NeNe handled it pretty well, all things considered. They seemed genuinely shocked at her rude behavior and I think that that shock tempered their reaction to her. I'm fairly certain if she behaves that way with them in the future, they won't be as restrained.
@BabyJane: I agree. The whole "swimmer's hair" thing was a crazy. When I get a complement, I try to return the kindness. This woman decided to insult instead.
@WashingMyHair: Indeed. She needs to learn to take a compliment gracefully (i.e., smile and say thank you and move on) rather than turn it into a meanspirited exercise in building yourself up by tearing others down.
@BabyJane: I just love how just as NeNe turns to Sheree and says, "Am I fat," Sheree is shoving a piece of cake in her mouth. That's some great comic timing. I feel like Sheree knew it because she's cracking up.
@plantainforbrains: haha, although it seems a fight between Sheree and Lisa is more likely. Seeing as Sheree has no problem getting in people's faces and Lisa is scrappy, that would be EPIC.
1. Anyone else wished Sheree yanked that awful wig off Kim’s head and threw it onto the hood of the passing car and the person drove off with Kim’s wig and Kim ran after the car. This shit is highly orchestrated anyways, they might as well up the drama.
2. And about Kim’s wig, it’s not that she wears a wig (nothing wrong with that and it is a ray of light for people with hair issues), it’s the fact that she wears an awful synthetic cheap looking wig. If she has thousands to throw away on a thigh melting session, she surely can afford a high quality wig. That thing looks like Barbie hair.
3. TBOZ!!!!!! OMG, forgot how much I missed TLC, need to find my Crazy, Sexy Cool CD
4. I love NeNe but she was sooo wrong for telling that lady to eat a sandwich. Its one thing if you’re close friends and you’re ribbing her. You don’t even know her, I mean how dare you.
5. WTF with Lisa and Sheree carrying on about being designers. You’re paying people to sketch and design, WTF. It’s one thing if a big name fashion designer who has established him/herself (Kors, Armani, DVF) has a staff to take care of that for them but they’ve paid their dues and they still contribute to the process. That’s like me saying I’m a great baker but I’ve never baked, I buy the ingredients and pay someone else to bake for me. Makes no damn sense!
@Eric Northman is mine: THE WIG! THE WIIIIIG! That thing makes me CRAZY. She buys couture dresses and wears a wig that I could get at the Hair World down the street from my house. I have never met her and I doubt I could resist the urge to "tug it, just move it a little" either.
@Yahtzii: I thought Sheree was going to go for the full yank, not just a little tug. The worst part about that wig is that when they shoot Kim from above, the color is nothing like her real bangs in front. It has almost a pink cast.
@Eric Northman is mine: i agree with you on #4, but i think nene was joking...especially in how she delivered it, she didn't even look at her when she said it, almost like an aside. for tania to turn around then go buck crazybitch on both of them? nuh uh. not cool.
@rednrowdy: I think Tanya going crazy on them was a bit OTT but maybe it showed she has some insecurity about being called skinny specifically being told to eat as though her thinness is a symptom of disordered eating. If it's something she hears often it could explain why she went on the defensive like that. Either way all parties were out of line, i mean damn y'all are grown women. behave!
@Eric Northman is mine: I totally agree on #4. It's just as tacky to tell a thin person to eat a sandwich as it is to tell a fat person not to eat so much.
Didn't Kim call the cops on one of the other housewives last year? I seem to remember something about a really poorly dressed attorney giving a press conference.
@bluebears: I can only imagine that if Kim ever got into an enclosed space with Kelly Bensimon, the combined levels of delusion would tear the universe apart.
@bluebears: insane AND an all-around reprehensible person. also, the type of person who files police reports every time someone gives her the stink-eye, so as to bolster her credibility.
@fulanita: I actually think that Kim is 10 times more intelligible than Kelly Bensimon's mindless sputtering. Kelly speaks like a pretty girl who has never had to effectively communicate or respond to someone saying, "But what you have just said is unclear and makes no sense." She just acts outraged and as if whatever she is saying is entirely obvious and then sprinkles her feigned incredulity with a compliment: "Like, like...I'm not gonna talk about this. It's like, like, like, sooo not worth talking about. Oh, by the way, that Zac dress looks adorable on you. Tsk, like, like whatever. I am over this." Kim, on the other hand, makes sense when she speaks even though much of what she says is a testament to the strength of denial and dissemblance.

Definitely not the same impact coming from a white male, but still quite effective. BAM!
