The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season-Finale Recap: Petty Peaches


The finale returns to the tried and true Atlanta equation of being silly, messy, and dramatic.

The first chunk of the episode focuses on tying up the loose ends of the heavier storylines, including Porsha and her sister consulting Phaedra about services for their late cousin and Drew and Kelli coming to terms with their volatile divorces. Though it’s a bit unserious with the energy of an adult dance recital, I respect her dedication, and I definitely will not stand by Brit, who couldn’t even afford to feed her guests at the one event she hosted this season, talking down on the showcase (Drew’s commentary, on the other hand, was fabulously petty as the other singer in the group). Watching her strong-arm her notoriously non-nonsense husband into stubborn docility was the final evidence I needed to come around as an active supporter of their marriage (although Angela’s therapy session cryptically confirmed he had broken her trust in the past in a major way, she never specifies if there was infidelity).
