Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 3 Episode 11: Sheree Whitfield embraces The Child Support Man
Are friendship contracts ever OK? Is Sheree ready for an Oscar? Does Kim really have 16 years of dance experience?
Find out the answers to those questions and more in this week's "Real Housewives of Atlanta" recap.
KIM ZOLCIAK
Kim's going on tour with Kandi, and she needs to prepare. Step No. 1? Take dance lessons. Kim tells us she has 16 years of dance experience, so this shouldn't be a problem. But predictably, she's not too keen on choreography. She zones out during her lesson and tells us she'll end up doing her own thing on stage.
Step No. 2? Get in shape. Of course, Kim wants something easier than going to the gym. She opts for a laser fat removal process that costs $3,000 for six sessions. She invites some of the other Housewives over and they have a laser party. Kim eats pizza while fat exits her body. No joke necessary.
CYNTHIA BAILEY
After her fiance's recent fight with NeNe, Cynthia is worried about her friendship with NeNe. So at Kim's laser party, she gives NeNe a candle...and a friendship contract. Yes, she went all junior high on NeNe. The year-long contract includes a variety of provisions, like the fact that it needs a notary's signature to become void. NeNe signs it, but later tells Kim that the ordeal made Cynthia look a little psycho. "I don't know her that well and I'm grateful for that," Kim says.
SHEREE WHITFIELD
Sheree makes her acting debut in a local play, "The Child Support Man." Her acting coaches can't attend, and neither can some of the Housewives. I give Kim the "best excuse" award. She claims she's going to Los Angeles to get her hair done. Sheree says it's a shame that not everybody can make it because, "I want them to see that my presence draws a big crowd."
The play goes off successfully, even though Sheree has more of a cameo than a role. She utters about three lines toward the end of the play. NeNe sits in the audience and compares the experience to "waiting for your 5-year-old to come out in the Christmas play."
NENE LEAKES
At Sheree's play, Peter (Cynthia's fiance) apologizes to NeNe for their fight. Can we expect a peaceful future? Maybe not. In a private conversation with Sheree, hairstylist Lawrence suggests sexual tension is driving the awkwardness between Peter and NeNe. After Peter apologizes, NeNe says, "I hope that we're back in love." Please don't be "that friend," NeNe.
Also, while chatting with Kim, NeNe says her husband Gregg is ready to move out of the house. NeNe says she'd date a white guy and Kim is shocked. Kim also mentions her relationship with Kroy Biermann in the conversation.
PHAEDRA PARKS
Dwight tells Phaedra that Kim and Cynthia were asking questions about her baby before she gave birth. Namely, he pointed to their skeptism over Phaedra's initial claim that she wasn't nine months pregnant when doctors induced labor. Dwight says they called Phaedra's child an alien baby. "Just because you strip in a nurse's costume does not make you a nurse," Phaedra says, referring to Kim.
At Sheree's play, Phaedra confronts Cynthia about the comments. Cynthia tells Phaedra to check her sources, and doesn't mention that Kim was actually the one who called Phaedra's baby an alien.
I sense a smackdown in the future.
KANDI BURRUSS
Kandi doesn't get much screen time, aside from tasks like helping Sheree rehearse her lines. But it looks like we're in for lots of Kandi next week. A preview shows her freaking out about her upcoming tour.
