I have to put up for Cynthia a biT. Has there ever been a Housewive in the history of the franchise who was incapable of ever winning the audience's approval no matter what she did?
Maybe it was just the audience questions picked for her at the reunions but they either ranged from "lol get out of Nene or Kenya's drawers" or "girl you boring and plain as hell" when she didn't engage in the drama as much to the questions in Season 7 where she was pretty much uniformly called a bitch and a mean girl. Even the positive comments were basically backhanded reads.
I think there was even an article around Summer 2020 during the height of the George Floyd protests with Bravolebrities from Married to Medicine, RHOA, and RHOP where she talked about her inability to ever win with the audience.
Idk, is she my favorite housewife? Nah, but I think she's a good person who had some fun moments and she generally got a raw deal from the audience.

I absolutely don’t get it. I am at the end of season 10 and I can happily admit that Cynthia is one of my favourite housewives across the franchise. She’s gorgeous, has a fantastic sense of humour, gives excellent confessionals, seems down to earth and also stays entertaining without getting too messy. She makes me laugh probably the most out of the entire cast, I find her so easy to watch. Yes, it took her a minute to understand the assignment and I definitely struggled with her on season 2 but she has gone from strength to strength since then. I would even go as far as to say that after Kenya’s awful showing and being MIA for most of season 10, Cynthia is on the very top of the list for the Atlanta ladies, at least for now.
Cynthia was a good housewife. She took a season or two to warm up but once it clicked for her she was great. Nene Vs Cynthia is a defining feud in the RHOA cannon and let’s remember that more often than not it was Nene that was left in tears.

I love(d?) Cynthia but I fear her stint on RHUGT was the worst career move she’s ever made. I felt for her for the first few episodes but after that…

Yeah, but that Cybthia gave us so much to work with.
She needs to crop up as a guest on BH, and drag kyle
he/him
Did she? She was just mopping around the whole trip ff
But I’m all for a different housewife doing a cameo on BH every week just to drag Kyle!

Let's start spamming Cokeden's Good Morning Tweets

I have to say, it is remiss that we aren't going to see Porsha's sure-to-be tacky wedding on the show.

Let me start Season 10 on this cold wet Monday evening, as I sort of miss my girls.
I'm ready to spring a Leake!
Though it is always a worry when the Season Premier features flashbacks filmed one month earlier, but wait
Kenya got married BETWEEN SEASONS....
No wonder the Producers hated her until Season 14.

It was because of her criminal record and Bravo wanted to steer clear of that. AT THAT TIME.
I'm so happy seeing all the Nene love in this thread. I know people say she was unbearable during her later seasons, but I always found her hilarious. Nene produces good tv without even trying. Most of her best moments are in throwaway scenes because she is always so funny.
For those who miss Nene, I highly recommend watching the College Hill reboot on BET+. We got some classic Nene moments and she came off really well. It was nice seeing her after Gregg died. I feel like Nene and Gregg were such important parts of our lives and it's sad we didn't get to see more of how she's dealing with this loss.

Bravo knew her criminal record when they hired her. I definitely think the cig comment is what cost her that peach for years.

Yes, they knew that’s why they would never promote her. Of course that comment later on didn’t help either. Marlo should’ve directed that to COKEDEN.

Why did no one warn me that I'd have to watch Kenya self-producing scenes with her gay Popeye boyfriend in season 9?
