For half of the cast, this episode was an exercise in humility. Kenya acts like this meeting with Roger Bobb was the first time anyone has ever turned her down, even though we all watched Walter publicly reject her. Roger Bobb even gives her a soft pass on her truly awful ideas for TV shows, which range from mean girls to retired supermodels to marrying white guys to twirling, all while wearing a surprisingly offensive cape blazer. You’re not Solange, Kenya! Her weird ideas coupled with her bonkers outfit really amped up the possibly escaped-mental-patient look in her eyes, which is probably why Roger Bobb tells her that he wouldn’t be available but would help hook her up with some writers after his lawyer called her lawyer. (I feel like a disproportionate amount of Kenya’s conversations end with people threatening to call their lawyers.) After she oddly...

In this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, "Puerto Read-Co," Phaedra and Demetria's relationship gets off to a rocky start. And the ladies all head to Puerto Rico, dragging not just their luggage but a ton of emotional baggage as well.
Nothing guarantees some catfighting like a girls' trip, so the ladies of Atlanta are set to pack their bags and head to Puerto Rico. This excursion is being sponsored by songstress and possible Housewife-in-waiting Demetria. She's subsidizing the trip, or rather Roger Bobb is, so the ladies and Rhoa fans can watch her perform.
