The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 6 (Flirting With Disaster)

      The Real Housewives series is Bravo Television's top frachise, and The Real Housewives of Atlanta is the top series out of them all. The ladies of Atlanta; Kenya, Nene, Phaedra, Porsha and Kandi and their husbands took on episode 6 of season 7 with a little drama filled vaction to Mexico payed for by Kenya. This was an episode where there was more tease than actual conflict. It was mostly revisiting old story lines , but adding a little bit more drama in them. The focus this episode of  was the flirting between Apollo ( Phaedra's Husband) and Kenya Moore. Now as fans and viewers of the show know,  Kenya and Apollo's innapropriate flirtation began last season when the cast went on vacation last year to Anguilla so this was nothing new.

     In the beginning of the epsiode you see Phaedra is not sure if she want's to go on the trip or take Apollo, because she knows Kenya and Apollo are attracted to one another, but Phaedra goes to fulfill her “Real Housewives” duties and goes on the free trip, and even brings Apollo along, hoping no trouble happens, but as you know that didn't happen.  The teases to this episode showed Kenya at a cave where she strips down to a bikini and jumps into a lagoon. They make it appear as if Apollo is leering at her though it’s not clear once we see the episode that is the case. He does goes in the water with a few others but nothing untoward happens. Quite anti-climactic, but there is some flirting going on in the eyes of Kenya.

     Later the episode cuts to the husbands  smoking stogies at the resort bar, Kenya comes by on a mission.  She asks for time alone with Apollo in full view of everyone else, Peter suggests Todd babysit them. Soon, Apollo waves Todd off. So Todd and Peter watch the scene out of earshot from the bar. Kenya tells Apollo she is upset he is throwing shade at her via third parties. She says she has said nothing untoward toward or about him,. She feels she has respected his marriage with Phaedra. He too claims he has been a Boy Scout, that she has been the flirty one. He says he even chose not to sleep with her though he could have. She sort of denies that’s necessarily the case but not terribly convincingly. There is clearly an attraction between the two and the argument devolves into a giggly, laugh fest.

In the end the episode definately could have been better than just focusing on Kenya and Apollo's innapropriate love fest.
