Dom Torres and Kyla Denanyoh are discussing the explosive Part One of the Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 17 reunion! Dom has already watched this part of the reunion four times, but he loves Housewives Reunions.
In this episode, we chat about the looks; the surprise of Pinky Cole being in a long-sleeved, granny-style gown that we found out was hiding a baby bump. We discuss Shamea's "little mermaid" gown, which looked like unfinished appliqués and didn’t seem on theme (even though Angela was in gold, too).
Kyla wanted to overanalyze the Drew & K. Michelle Conflict. Why Blakk seems to be so important to both of them, whether K. Michelle is lying about how much she knows Blakk, and she knows so much about the way that Blakk is allegedly scamming Black women. Drew has what Dom considered a cringe-worthy moment when she pulled out a clapperboard prop to stop K. Michelle, but Kyla loved this scene.
Dom Torres and Kyla Denanyoh also discuss the missed opportunity of the show producers not including the clip of Phaedra Parks’ political ambitions and her meeting with Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett from the main season. Dom and Kyla both cheer for Phaedra, and Kyla would love for Phaedra to join the You Are A Lawyer podcast to discuss how she uses her law degree to take risks and change careers.
This recap ends with Dom and Kyla discussing how many other women have been in their first season and gained the First Chair of a reunion, like K. Michelle. Dom explains that a small but mighty group of women has been in the First Chair in their first season.
Finally, we dive into the brewing drama between K. Michelle and Shamea. With allegations of "mean girl" alliances and fractured friendships, the reunion ended on a massive cliffhanger, leaving us desperate for answers in Part Two.
We also briefly touch on Portia’s personal growth and why Shamia’s recent behavior has us calling for a major "disinvitation" to Pride next year.
