Real Housewives of Atlanta

Hosted by Bravo's Andy Cohen, the ladies of Hotlanta — Kim Zolciak, Kandi Burruss, NeNe Leakes, Phaedra Parks, Shereé Whitfield and Cynthia Bailey — get together to set the record straight on some of the most talked-about antics of the season.

Cynthia hosts a model call at the Bailey Agency hoping to find Atlanta's next "it" girl. NeNe makes a major decision about her marriage, and later meets with her "business partner" John, who surprises her with another gift. Kim is also in the giving spirit and surprises her new fiance with an extravagant birthday present. Meanwhile, Kandi launches her sex-toy line in a big way, but realizes it'll take more than masseurs and vibrators to bring "happiness and joy" to the ladies.

With her apprenticeship at Willie Watkins' funeral home almost complete, Phaedra helps a "real" family through the grieving process. NeNe travels to L.A. to meet with the creators of the hit TV show Glee and entertains the idea of moving to the west coast permanently. Kandi continues to juggle her businesses by working on designs for a new Bedroom Kandi sex toy line, while Kroy visits Kim's father to have a very important man-to-man talk. Later, all the women come out to support Phaedra at a big event at City Hall where she makes an unexpected announcement.

Kim welcomes Kroy back from football camp; Nene has a heart to heart with her son; Sheree tries to teach her future son-in-law on the kind of engagement her daughter deserves.

Kandi heads to Nashville to boost her country-music career; Sheree mulls over a marriage proposal for her daughter as NeNe reassesses her divorce from Gregg; Mal sets out to apologize to Cynthia; Phaedra throws a water-park party for her son; Kim and Kandi try to mend their fractured friendship.

A look back at the start of Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann's relationship, plus a sneak peek of their new spin-off, Don't Be Tardy for the Wedding.

The ladies pack their designer bags to depart South Africa and head home to Atlanta, where new drama awaits. When NeNe's son Bryson is arrested for stealing two razors, she debates whether to bail him out of jail or teach him a lesson. Meanwhile, Kim's relationship with her assistant, Sweetie, starts to sour. Kim welcomes back the Smalls with a catered lunch at her new mansion, and she confronts Kandi about the derogatory comments that were made about her in Africa.

The ladies continue to delight in African culture as they find peace with one another in the wake of their moving visit to an orphanage. They tour a museum and meet an offbeat herbalist, yet their harmony is fleeting when Cynthia and Kandi disparage Kim. 

The ladies' South African vacation continues with the “Talls” and “Smalls” moving beyond Sheree and Marlo's intense showdown. After blowing off some steam at a Cape Town nightclub, the women travel to the luxurious Shamwari game reserve. On safari, NeNe finds herself caught between the competing attention of Marlo and Cynthia, while Sheree, Phaedra and Kandi learn about the pharmaceutical benefits of elephant dung. Later, the entire group has an opportunity to visit a South African orphanage, where they are touched by the children and leave with the sense that this trip has been a life-changing experience.

The ladies arrive in Cape Town, where a relaxing yacht ride turns ugly when Marlo confronts Sheree about not inviting her to a party. In Atlanta, Kim finds it difficult to adjust to Kroy's absence and taking care of her brood on her own. 

The ladies may have made it out of last week’s group dinner in one piece, but can they make it through a whole vacation together? This week, the housewives jet off to South Africa for what is sure to be a trip of a lifetime, if they can get along that is. But the trip is already off to a rocky start when NeNe shows up to the airport with a surprise guest that the other ladies seem less than pleased to see… Meanwhile, Kim is preparing for a different departure. Kroy is forced to leave Atlanta with barely any notice when the NFL lockout suddenly ends.  Will Kim be able to adjust to life without Kroy? 

Cynthia and Phaedra go on a double date with their men; Kroy takes Kim to a gun range; NeNe's business partner visits and treats her to some retail therapy; and Kandi hosts a dinner party for all the women.

Phaedra sets out to launch her family funeral business. Elsewhere, genre-hopping Kandi takes a country-music direction by working with country's Jo Dee Messina in Nashville; and NeNe tries to squash spreading gossip about her alleged tryst with a socialite's boyfriend.

Kim and her newly expanded family move into a mansion of their dreams. Sheree and Phaedra's relationship gets rocky as they deal with the aftermath of their court battle against Sheree's ex-husband. Meanwhile, Kandi decides to steer her music career in a surprising new direction.  Cynthia throws a grand-opening bash at her modeling school, the Bailey Agency, where Kim and NeNe rub elbows for the first time since Cynthia's wedding.

When Sheree is served with legal papers, she turns to Phaedra for representation. The two Housewives confidently face Sheree’s ex in court, but to their dismay, he has a trick up his sleeve. Kim and Kroy bring baby KJ home and chaos erupts in the house when everyone, including the dog, realizes how big of an adjustment this will be. On an all-new episode of Kandi Koated Nights, Kandi chats with guests Marlo Hampton and baller boyfriend Charles Grant. One of Kandi's co-hosts asks Charles what it was like to date NeNe and it doesn’t take long for the gossip to spread.

Kim Zolciak doesn’t make it to her due date and gives birth to her first baby boy. Meanwhile, Cynthia Bailey and NeNe Leakes take a business trip to New York City, where Cynthia gets advice on her new modeling school from old flame, Russell Simmons. NeNe meets with her new business partner, Famous Famiglia Pizza's co-owner, John Kolaj, who seems interested in having much more than a business relationship with her. Sheree Whitfield’s mother makes a revelation which gives Sheree the resolve to take Bob to court for child support. Kandi Burruss gets Mama Joyce dolled up for an online dating profile photo shoot, and Phaedra Parks demonstrates her talents as a lawyer by getting her client out of hot water for drug charges.

Peter's investors bounce a check; mother daughter chats; Cynthia hosts a fashion show.

Phaedra tries to make amends for her husband's behavior at Kim's baby shower, and construction on Sheree's house proves to be a very slow process. As for Kandi, she hears the resounding ticks of her biological clock as she plans her birthday bash. At the party, Phaedra presents an unforgettable gift. Meanwhile, Cynthia is torn between two families.

A case of mistaken identity plagues Phaedra and Apollo; Sheree surveys the construction of a new house; NeNe's youngest son must adapt to living in two homes; and Kim oversees a lavish baby shower.

Fresh off her verbal confrontation with Sheree, NeNe decides to take a break from Atlanta by rounding up Cynthia and Kandi for a girl’s getaway weekend of fun and sun in Miami. Phaedra's fascination with the dead goes a step further as she explores opening a family funeral business, but Apollo's creeped out by Phaedra's new passion. Sheree and Kim have some of their own girl time to discuss Kim and Kroy's future plans. Meanwhile, Kroy and Sweetie conspire to throw an intimate surprise bash for a very pregnant Kim's 33rd birthday, complete with expensive jewels.

In a season about taking chances, the hottest Housewives in the South are embarking on new ventures and returning to their roots. Kandi, Phaedra, and Cynthia are exploring their entrepreneurial prowess. Though their dreams vary drastically — sex toys, funeral homes, and a modeling school — each woman has jumped into their chosen endeavor with a signature boldness and innate sense of humor that defines these Atlanta ladies. On the relationship front, NeNe and Kim remain estranged, but their personal love lives have changed drastically. Kim is madly in love, pregnant, and building a home with Kroy, while NeNe's now-official separation with Gregg teeters on the brink of divorce. Sheree has grand plans for her own dream house, however the pieces aren't coming together so smoothly.

Although she's a TV star, NeNe doesn't forget that she's a parent first. This week, she tries to motivate her unemployed son Bryson by introducing him to Cynthia's boyfriend and club owner Peter. Speaking of Cynthia, her ex-fiancé, actor Leon Robinson, talks about her inability to say "I do." Will she finally be able to commit? And then there's Kim, poor tone deaf Kim, who's off to a rough start with her new single. Kandi tries to lend her vocal expertise, but things get tense when they reach a creative crossroads. And let's not forget about Phaedra. Her unborn offspring becomes the topic of convo (again) when she announces that she plans to induce the baby "early." Oh boy. Finally, more trouble at home for NeNe, but this time with the other man in her life. She reveals a major relationship secret to Cynthia. Read the full recap here.

The (not-really-that) talented Ms. Zolciak kicks off tonight's eppy, lurking around Kandi's house with her new sidekick/assistant, Sweetie. Kim is slated to appear on Kandi's Web program, Kandi Koated Nights. If you're not familiar with this gem, the show consists of Kandi and her friends getting together to tell erotic stories. Yep. This week's topic is "Cheaters." Serving as a bit of an expert, if you will, Kim deems that Big Poppa is not cheating since he doesn't even live with his family. Solid point. Before that, they review last week's new vocabulary term, "beef curtains," where Kim claims she is meat-free. Good to know. Read the full recap here.

This week, Kim has her first live gig at the White Party in Palm Springs, and Kandi comes along as backup. Phaedra and Apollo have couples' time with some friends, and NeNe breaks the news to Brentt about Brice's arrest. Sheree and Dwight agree to disagree about the money he "invested" in her fashion line. Meanwhile, Cynthia plots out her busy schedule. At the White Party, Kim almost has a wardrobe malfunction before going on stage; her breasts threaten to bust out of her tiny dress, and the tulle skirt blows up to expose her derriere. All is saved by her seamstress, and the concert goes on. Read the full recap here.
