Real Housewives of Atlanta

In the wake of last week’s wine-waving, all-up-in-his-grill confrontation between Nene and Dwight, last night’s episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta seemed downright mature. Family issues were explored, a new cast member was introduced and actual words of apology were spoken. Ho-hum.

Not everything could be reasonable, of course – Phaedra tottered around pregnant on hooker heels, Nene’s son got caught with weed while trying to voluntarily enter a jail and Kim went for a jog with her someone named Sweetie and ended up having a beer in a parking lot instead.

The episode started with Kim and her new assistant “jogging” down what appeared to be Duluth’s Sugarloaf Parkway (in grand Atlanta tradition, none of these women actually live in Atlanta) in tight clothes, egging on cat-calls and declarations of love from passing motorists. They abruptly ended the run when they saw a beer delivery guy and and decided to beg a couple of bottles off of him, but thankfully he just sang “Tardy for the Party” at Kim and went on his merry way. The cashier at the convenience store that was receiving the delivery was not so stone-faced, and they came away with two beers to drink illegally on the sidewalk. If all of my runs ended like that, I’d be in great shape.
