Finally, Sanya said what we’re all thinking: “If you have an assistant who is being messy with one of your friends, that might mean that you’re equally as messy.” Instead of cutting him off, Drew put assistant Anthony on “probation” after finding out last week that he told Shereé that Ralph is gay. What is an intriguing story line is Shereé and Drew’s assistant. Again, as a Black woman hustling to keep up with rising grocery and rent prices, Todd’s ego and Kandi’s pockets aren’t intriguing story lines in my book. Since Todd started dating Kandi, there have been conversations about where he fits in regarding her success and wealth. Now that the couple have been together for eight years, we’re starting to see how their dynamic can cause tension. The condo seems more like a vehicle for exposing the cracks in Kandi and Todd’s relationship. Maybe because I don’t know what it feels like to have rich people’s problems (someone hire me, please), but like, just keep it or sell it, who cares. I feel like this condo story line is being pushed on us. The group then gets ready to visit Todd’s New Jersey condo.
Kenya gives us a slightly disturbing story about trails of coyote blood and intercourse in caves, winning the room and successfully weirding us all out. We learn that Sanya and Aaron are a part of the mile-high club and Drew and Ralph (gag) had sex in the ocean with whales. The trip starts smoothly enough, with the couples swapping freaky sex stories for a chance at the best room. I personally would like consent before a man and woman in leather bondage show up at my door with sex toys, but this is why I don’t live in Atlanta. I hate that it adds fuel to the fire in terms of painting Kandi as a freak, with Marlo going so far as to say she needs therapy (I don’t think Kandi intended for the women to walk around the city vibrating in sync with each other), but I appreciate that she leans into the stereotype. I usually don’t agree with Kenya, but a Playbill would’ve been more appropriate. Look, I tried to stand up for Kandi last week, but I was slightly taken aback by the invitations for the trip being delivered by a half-naked couple handing out “mandatory” vibrating panties. Kandi, never skipping a promotional moment, uses the trip as an opportunity to market her Bedroom Kandi sex toys. I love seeing the cast outside of their environment and interacting with each other as a group. Kudos to Kandi for being a part of bringing this project to the stage! And since Thoughts of a Colored Man is about the Black male experience in America, it makes sense that the men are joining in on the trip. It explores Blackness in America through the story of seven men all living in the same Brooklyn neighborhood. I finally Googled the production, and it turns out it is the first Broadway play to be written and directed by Black men with a Black man in the lead role. Not to knock Kandi, because I know that OLG and her sex-toy line are successful businesses, but sometimes she reminds me of my Sims who have completed their original aspirations and are now doing random ones for fun. As always, the internet has divine timing, since the ladies and their men head to New York City tonight to watch Kandi’s musical.įirst and foremost, I would like to take this time to admit that I initially wrote off Thoughts of a Colored Man as another random Kandi Burruss venture. Raise your hand if “LEGS AND HIPS AND BODY BODY BODY” is constantly playing on a loop in your head. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching that clip from Kandi’s chitlin-circuit musical A Mother’s Love go viral as the BBL ritual song. I like to believe that the RHOA gods bestowed a gift upon us right in time for this week’s episode.
