I totally agree.

I love the show, I think Kandi is the only one who deserves respect... She earned her money... Nene lookes and acts like a Saschuach, I used to like Nene until she went off on Kandi... Kim is a greedy money hungry whore who needs therapy, I'd love to see Kim have to get a minimum wage job because big Papa stops paying her bills... Lisa I like a lot, hate to see her struggle... And Sheree is a selfish, self centered, conceited, arrogant woman who lives off her X husbands money because her She by Sheree clothing line hasn't made a dime... Sheree is no entreprenuer...But she has to mention She by Sheree everytime she says anything... I hope Sheree has a hard life financially as a result of the economy because she needs to be humbled big time... I guess the arrest photos of sheree for steeling didn't make her crawl under a rock for the 2nd season... Does anyone even like Sheree ? I hope Kandi recovers from her recent loss and becomes a huge success again in R&B...

I just wrote a blog today about how fake these women are and how staged this show is. They act as if they are little teenage girls in high school with all of their nonsense. Check out my blog @ www.tinalbentley.wordpress.com

Of all the franchises, I like Atlanta the least - in part because they DO get so physical, and really aren't like any of the women I have known who live in the South. And I've known plenty!

On the other hand - let's face it - most of America tunes in to see trash, if for no other reason than it takes us out of our own lives for a bit of time - including our own recessionary difficulties.

The bath scene was a bit high on the "ick" factor. But Lisa seems like a woman who has her act together, with plenty of smarts and a great sense of style. Nene says it like it is, and you have to respect that.

As for the rest? OMG. Can't believe I actually have it on in the background at night. Then it seeps into my dreams... http://dailyplateofcrazy.wordpress.com/08/28/kim-did-it/

But I think Bravo could do a little better for us. And hoping the Untitled Art Project is more like Top Chef Masters or Project Runway. - http://dailyplateofcrazy.wordpress.com/2009/07/09/reality-tv-rocks-untitled-art-project-idea/

I am amazed that Lisa's husband keeps whining about having another kid when he doesn't really have a job! Lisa's being a sweetheart about it on camera, but I can imagine when they are "off stage," she probably says, "Negro, are you crazy!?!?"

And, yes, I think the ghetto girls vs. trailer trash beat down scenes are getting too predicatable.

Move on people. Nothing to see here!

Folks,look at these fools! Who would hire them to do anything? Kim is still there because the cow doesn't have a job and this show is her only income. Nene and Sheree need to learn to say do you want fries with that and Lisa and her washed up husband a just pitiful. It's bad when you let some gals from Jersey make you look like trash...

"There are tons of monied African-Americans in Atlanta and tons of classier, financially stable upper-class members in NJ, NY, & Orange County"

I honestly don't think any actual classy member of the upper class would AGREE to do any of these shows. I have a feeling that most of the people who go on those shows anyway have an ulterior motive. They want to promote their business or further their careers or just want their 15 minutes. Classier people just aren't concerned with that. They have more important things to worry about like say - dignity.

Ah, nothing goes faster than "new money".
